Miss Swan also told me something worth
knowing about ham. She said that it should
always be- boiled before frying as it could not DO
thoroughly cooked in any other fashion. She
always hollis whole ham. cuts off thin slices
aud fries them, using little vinegar to give it
zest.

HOW MRS. SENATOR DAVIS CLEANS HER GLOVES
Although we have been quite in the line of
cooking, there are other things of which the
ordinary woman is glad to know. For instance
when she surveys her Winter stock OF soiled bu t
only halfwoTn gloves, she would gladly learn
some method To clean them so that they might
leo good for ut least two more wearings. Mrs
Senator Davis sent mo recipe which she
claimed was just the thing.
First rub them thoroughly with -four or cracker
crumbs and then wash in refined gasoline as you
Mrs. c. X DAVIS.
| Mrs. Noble, the wife of tho Secretary of the
| Interior, is as fond of good cookery as of phi
| l0sophy. She has half dozen cook books of
semi classic appearance with yellow leaves and
old, worn binding. One two of them are
out of date. and, of course she values these
| more than the crisp new Ones. They are writ
| ten all over with the notes so priceless To q
| housekeeper, telling where TO use one egg in-
stead of the two of the prodgn recipe aud
where rich milk will do as we'll as the cream
| OF that same exact!ng recipe Mrs, Noble con-
fessed to mo that she liked "a bit of history with
her vands. and TO the Lenten soup which she
| gave she prCfaced the following sauce piquante;
| That epicurean Monarch Louis XIV, stopped
one day at the end of the chase at the Monas-
| terry oil st. Denis, whore he demanded some
| thing TO eat from the good Prior. A bowl Of
soup was given him which was of such good
SAVIOR that the greedy monarch drank il down
without question, and went on his way. A few
| days later the Prior WAS summoned to Paris 10
appear before his Lord the Bishop. Once
there he learned that he was accused of serving
meat-broth to the King during Lent, aud SEN
fenced to severe peuance. The Prior, nothing
daunted, went to the King and offered to make
the soup before his eyes Instead of meat he
put in fish, and the King tasting it,, said it was
| the same soup no had drank before the door Of
the Monastery of st. Denis The Prior WAS
absolved, and Louis XIV ordered that 200
pounds of fish should be sent each year to the
Monastery during Lent, that the soup might
| always be made for travellers.
