MlNCE PIE ALL RIGHT,
1t Is Wholesome and the Prejudice Again.

1t Is Wholesome and the Prejudice Against
1t is Foolish.
A delightful woman, known to the
wisest and w~ittiest circles about Boston,
tells how she was brought up, after the
straightest traditions of New England
nurseries, to regard mince pie with
holy horror as the most dangerous
thing she could eat. When eight years
old she was tempted by a kind neighbor
to eat Il piece, and lived six weeks
afterward hourly expecting to fall dead
from its mysterious effects. No conse-
quence less than death would meet her
views of the exceeding RIGHTEOUSNESS
of the seductive mince, and though she
did not feel the slightest effects from it,
still she held to her belief that it would
some time do its work as suddenly as
prussic acid. The distress of mind at
last wore on her SO as to call forth ex-
plantations, and the home authorities
were obliged to traverse their previous
impressions by admitting that mince
pie did not always kill at once.
Mincemeat ought to be extremely
wholesome for the same reasons that
make it good to e%at-its havors of
sweet and sour, Of meat, apple and
spice which relieve each other, and its
finely divided particles, which allow
the choicer blending of havors, and
save the stomach much of the grinding
which reduces food to the pulp in which
it enters the blood. What gives mince
pie its ill-repute as the very spawn Of
nightmare is its overdressing with suet
and butter, only fit for polar consump.
ton, and its drugging with spices
Spice is the very food of the nerves,
rightly used, growing more essential as
circulation and sense dull with age.
But 1T should be delicately, discerningly
used not TO lose its potency. The over
dressing with fat is a remnant of the
old English barbarism which ste wed its
food in tallow, and as the old play has
1t, took two fat wethers to haste one
capon." Housekeepers of note have
