is to dip the slice in beaten egg, then
into flour or fine crumbs, and then cook
in butter or good dripping. By this

the egg in the meantime. In order to have
neither half-raw outlet nor blackened
coating thereof 1t is best to cook 1t part
ly beforehand. This may be done very
effectually by ymerely putting it on gran
ite-ware plate in the oven for few mo-
ments. A good deal of juice will collect
in the plate, but this can be kept hot
and poured on the platter before serving,
or If the outlets are preferred served
dry, the hot and seasoned Juice may be

Cornish pasties are made. according to
the receipt brought to this country by
young English BRIDE as follows: A

kidney. The pastry is then brought to-

squares being prepared as one wishes,

The Cornish saying goes: Every man

OF course, "pahsty." and every man is
usually ready to do so.
In the present-day desire for appro-
priateness in all things, the framing of
pictures receives no little attention. One
sees a group of sacred subjects, copies Of
some great original, either in colors or
photograph, placed together in threes,
and so daintily surrounded by border
Of triune Gothic arching, gilt or silver,
that the effect closely resembles the
paneling of church window, and seems
most opposite to the subject. This is
usually the favorite Saint Cecilia, one
Of many Madonnas, or cathedral in
terror.
In one Of Miss wilkins delightful
stories for children she sings the praises,
incidentally, of parsnip stew. The dish
sounded 90 attractive to one family who
read the story that it was promptly
tried. A favorite luncheon dish was thus
discovered, and one that is often called
for during these first spring days. The
most satisfactory recipe found was the
following: Boil three slices of salt pork
an hour and half; scrape five large
parsnips, cut in quarters lengthwise, and
add to the pork; boil half an hour longer
and add two eliced potatoes. When
these are soft the stew is ready to serve.
Glassware Is so constantly broken in
the washing that 1t is we'll to have this
simple rule impressed on the mind Of
the maid who has its care in charge.
A glistening, polished surface can be
best attained by immersion in hot, soapy
water, followed by a thorough rinsing
in another water equally warm. If the
glass is put into the pan and the water
added, it Is pretty sure to crack; If 1t il
added to the water. there is no danger
whatever no matter how great the heat.
Servants seem slow to understand this
difference, and sometimes demonstra-
ton is better than theory. since the
matter depends entirely upon how It IL

There are so many artistic and good ef-
fects, one is tempted to choose quickly
and lavishly. Get things slowly, even to
supply need, and only supply the need,
be it decorative or utilitarian. A bed
room or living room may be full of ar
tistic harmony and pleasing effect and
yet not have a superfluous article of fur
niture. Objects of art, as such, demand
