New York Star: "lhe French say

That is to say, all their meats taste

French cookery is nothing if not spi-

for a pure taste. A good American
cook allows each meat and fish and

French cook is taught to mingle fla

result. The foundation of French
cookery is the stock pot, into which
are thrown all sorts Of meat, the
scraps and bones Of every dish; and
from this compound come French
soups and sauces. Every American
soup is as distinct as a flower. The
French drown the flavor of fish in
spiced sauces. In America tie fish
