roast weighs eight or ten pounds. as the
larger the joint the more juicy and better
it is after roasting. Have it trimmed
properly, but do not have the ribs re-
moved: 1t destroys the flavor of the beef
Have about four inches Of the rib end
sawed off, but do not have the ribs crack
ed above this: have every scrap OF the
trimmings sent home with the roast, as
they will all go in the soup. Put the roast
in big dripping pan; rub the sides of the
roast well with salt. sprinkle the top of
it with salt and pepper. then place 1t In a
hot oven. the ribs next to the pan and
blanket side up. Do not put a drop OF
water in the pan. After the beef is brown
haste Ii occasionally with Its own drip
pings. Allow quarter OF an hours roast
ing TO each pound of beef In a hot oven.
This will make the beef medium rare.
Serve on a hot platter and carve with
sharp. long. thin knife. There is no mis-
take about beef being roasted in this way.
You Will know what YOU are eating every
time The tenderloin of the beef. so large
ly used for the hotel and restaurant filet,
Is really the poorest part OF the beef. Ii
has less flavor and less nourishment.

On the skirts with narrow cores the

OF the new skirts have shirred breadths
and nat or box plaits.
In spite of all that ia said to the con-
trary, ths new dresses all have a little
stiffsnIng in them. and especially is this
the case In the back hreadths, so that
the skirt has standing out" effect. A
walking costume is very much improved
by this effect and will not soon be given

Old Cookery.

The housekeeper Of today has a much
easier time than did her predecessor in
the seventeenth century. Modern cooking
is based largely upon the DEGREES
OF fashion and largely upon personal
taste 1t was very different 200 or
300 years ago. There was no sci
encs and very little fashion then.
The culture OF the age was well expressed
by sirloin. which aristocratic word was
coined by an inebriated monarch, who
insisted upon knighting a loin of beef, on
account OF its excellence and juiciness.
There were no forks. Instead OF plates
wooden trenchers. and spoons were made
OF wood and were what we would call
ladies'; tablecloths and napkins were prac-
tically unknown. The cookery books,
what there wsre OF them. were on a par
with the rest of kitchendom. Honey was
largely used and recommended when
mixed with spices. with fish and crabs.
Potatoes were not In vogue. and toTna-
toes. II known. were considered poison
Gus. Almost all cooking consisted OF
soups. stews. pies. FISH and pastry. The
theory OF a soup was a rich liquid, or
semi-iQuid food. The old English beef
soup had carrots. turnips. cabbage, and
even apples thrown into the pot, and.
when cold. could be cut with a knife The
rhyme Of ''Pease porridse. nine days old
gives = good notion OF enc style OF cook
ing, which consisted in boiling animal or
vegetable substances until they became
a mere paste. There were huge pies and
pUddings. OF which the interior was made
o. choppsd-up beefsteak or mutton, kid
neys. birds. squirrels, hares. rabbits ven
