said Stuart, the great American painter.
He was once asked what he considered
the most characteristic feature of tho

his pencil! against the tip of his nose,
distorting it oddly.

the curator in amazement. "That is

On another OCCASION, while dining
with the Duke Of Northumberland, his
host priyily called his attention to a

knew him. Stuart had never seen him
before.

Tho Secret of French Bread.

Miss Parloa is quoted to the effect
that one of the secrets of the genuine
French bread, which it seems to be the
ambition of many housekeepers to du-
plicate in their kitchen, lies in the fact
that the dough is worked without too
much dry -four. 1t is not kneaded very
much, and what little kneadiug there IL
is accomplished with less -four than thr
average breadmaker would consider pos
sible. This scant kneading accounts
too, for its quick drying French breaG
like French butter, is for this day only
The more dough is kneaded the finer
grained it will be and the longer it win
keep. Another caution in the attempt TO
make French bread is that it must not
rise too long.
