Castilian Cuisine.

The commercial exodus to Cuba is
apt to result in faniliarizing Ameri.
cans with bona fide Spanish cooking,
something seldom seen in this coun-
try. Oil and pepper are the two
things that especially characterize the
Castilian cuisine. One Of the favorite
dishes in Cuba is ''tasajo," which is
simply dried meat, cooked with to.
matoes, red peppers and onions.
"Tripa a 10 Andauza" is another
preparation frequently seen. As the
name indicates, the basis is boiled
tripe. which is cooked with beans and
potatoes, and always served with the
small, red Spanish sausage known as
''butafarra Catalina. A similar sau-
sage, only black, is known as "butaf-
ARA Astoriana. ''Chile con carnc,"
which everybody eats, is nothing
more than thick stew of beef (carne)
and beans seasoned with chiles.
Spanish "tortillas" are corn cakes
favored with red peppers, and differ
from the Mexican tortilla in that the
latter, when properly made, are rolled
in chopped vegetables. A salad, a 10
Espanola, is prepared of lettuce and
celery, with a few sliced tomatoes and
peppers. Served with French dress
ing it is very good. The Spanish
soups are, as rule, little too heavy
for the American taste, which runs
more toward the consomme. They
are thick decoc,ions, full OF vegetables
and look frightfully greasy. Soup,
however, does not have the important
role among the Spaniards that itplays
in French domestic economy, and is
an article OF secondary importance.
The dishes named are pretty apt to
appear ere long on home menus, anG

"Yessum," said Nan. "And, o
grandma, you said they'd have to 60,

You always think Of the perfectest
things! OF course, there'll be one
apiece, and two for me; and You don't
mind the two for me, do you, grand
ma"
And of course grandma said she
didn't mind.
SO the next day, when the ten little
guests went away, after having the
most charming time, they each took
with them q kitten, in box with stats
fixed so that it could breathe. And,
after they were oil gone, Nan went
down to the barn. When she came
back, she looked very sober.

hope I'm not getting selfish"
And grandma smiled.
The next day grandma was upstairs
when she heard Nan calling. And
then, running up the stairs, accom-
panied by a chorus OF mewing, she
burst into the room, her checks very
red and her eyes very bright, with
ten boxes piled up in her arms.

They said their mammas
said they were just as much obliged,

And of course grandma, when she
got through laughing, said "Yes."--
