How . Skilled Cook May Make Them

Why not make meal Of chcstnutsl
There have been feasts known where
the whole bill Of fare was composed OF
the same Wand differently prepared.
Unlike the walnut, the chestnut lends
itself readily to tho treatment OF
skilled cook, and may be made avail.
able in many different ways for refined
tastes.
To begin with, then, few soups are
more palatable than chestnut soup.
served with frittered peas, and.
although this can scarcely bc looked
upon as novelty, how seldom do We
meet with itP
Again. with regard to tho fish course,
for those who usually partakc OF pota.
toes with it, would It not be pleasant to
find dish of plainly boiled chestnuts,
shellcd and salted'
No one, OF course. Is ignorant OF that
noble dish-turkey stuffed with Ghost
nuts. For cooking and serving a dish
like this. the highest culinary authori.
ties should be consulted, and their di.
rections followed N the letter.
Parsc OF chcstnuts may well take
the place Of potatoes. For an enfrcs
chcstnuts and mushrooms would be an
acceptable and pleasing variety, and
would afford opportunity for the exer'
cisc Of some experimental ingenuity.
The same may be said OF veal and
chestnut patties, with due seasoning
of herbs. For the "sweet course" In q
feast Of chcstnuts We have to fall back
upon chestnut cream. while stewcd
chestnus. with caramel Of bright
brown color, makes pretty contrast.
In our humble judgment the only
process Of roasting chestnuts Is to doso
on q broad, perforated pan or shovel
ON the top Of clear coal or coke fire
Just, Indeed, as they are cooked In the
streets, and where, II We try them, We
generally admit they are better than
anywhere else; better. we maintain,
simply because they are really roasted
and not boiled previously. for the nuts
themselves are not generally OF so ex'
cellent quality as those We find on
our own tables. To roast them thor.
oughly through, and not to scorch and
blscken the outer portion. 1t Is neces-
sary to pay them great attention. con-
stantly turning them with the fingers
or tongs, and this, Of course takes
time. As rule chestnut can not be

Well, very soon after that got my

1t seems the young man was q lawyer

there was a scene, but 1t didn't change

that she would marry him any way.
Well, when her parents found that
they couldn't move her they began to
be little more reasonable. The father
finally said no would make some in.
