It was cold sliced beef, dressed with a special sauce whose secret never learned. And the chef had named it after himself. It could have been served as a confection.
 "A parsley salad, that cheapest of all salads in the winter season, is not bad thing at all if the parsley is made crisp. It must be cooled on ice until 1t almost snaps Then it must be broken in the tinest pieces and mixed with chopped celery. This with very rich mayonnaise is more than acceptable for a relish. In certain European countries they serve 1t in egg shape. Eggs are boiled hard and the yolk scooped out at the end. The salad substance is then stuffed inside and the egg made to stand erect by cutting ofE the end a Ia Columbus.' This is served upon the plate and is eaten with the fork, usually with the course in which potatoes are served as fried chicken, creamed pota- toes and parsley salad, if you are serving a southern luncheon.
 ''The trouble also with an American salad is the fear Americans have of mixing things up. If an American cook uses one vegetable in a salad she thinks she has used sufficient. With lettuce she may use the time-honored tomato and cucumber slices, the trio honored by common con sent, but none too harmonious in havor.

"Orange, lemon, vanilla. pietaehio. straw berry, plum, peach. banana, apricot and quince are common lavors with the con- fectiomer, but seldom used at home by the home cook, who sticks to the lemon and vanilla with Penelope fidelity. And so, in salad making, are used onion, nasturtium. garlic, lemon, celery, cinnamon and all the spices common to the salad chef. but not to the home salad maker, who sticks to the compound that bites too soon and to mustard and oil, but rarely salt and never pepper Yet the first-class salad maker wants all of these.
 ''The most important ingredient in the new salads Is garlic. This is used in pref erenee to onion, which it somewhat resem- bles Each year it may be stated that sal ads change, and this year they have most decided garlic leaning. To use gar lie successfully in salads separate one of the small sections from the whole garlic, and, cutting 1t small, squeeze it into the bottom of the bowl in which the dressing is to be made. It will become thoroughly mixed through by the time the compound is completed. Treat the dressing as though the garlic were not there. Finally pour over the salad.
 "Many misguided persons mince the gar lie and mix it through the lettuce bowl, a horrible mouthful for an American palate. Not more than six drops of garlic juice should be used.

The children have water fights and the naked babies, when cleansed, are laid on the bank to dry, where they kick and squirm like bronze cupids.

 'The prettiest girl saw might have been Pharaoh's daughter, so beautiful and per- fectly formed was she I saw her coming to the canal barefooted, footsore and weary, yet with all the marks of race in her face, and I doubt not she Is lineally de- scended from some of the dusky kings of this fair land.
 "She crept out of her white chemise and calico skirt and, with her reboza about her shoulders, slid into the water. There she unbraided her long hair and let it float out on buoyant water, holding her reboza before her like a curtain and laughing over it at me with my impotent camera. A row of white. teeth gleamed like pearls. a row of coral beads were about her throat and she held one perfect foot ir perfect hand while she told me, very roguishly, that for 'cuatro pesos ($D she would let me take her picture-without the reboza. This young lady, who knew the commercial value of her charms so well, together with several other girls, performed her ablutions behind a thin fringe of mesquite that bor- ders the stone wall of the canal.

MEXICAN GIRLS PUBLIC BATH.
Bathing Is the Occupation of One Peculiarly
 Blessed Region.

From the San Francisco Chronicle
 Bathing is the occupation of the people of the Mexican town of Aguas Calientes a place biased with stream of fresh warm water springing from the rocks at just the right temperature for comfort and enjoy ment. Imagine 300 natives of all ages and both sexes calmly bathing in an open ditch with such privacy as the blue heav- ems afford. There are two sections of them-those who have something on and those who have not-and they splash around in their bath as unconcerned as a canary in a porcelain dish. Their ancestors bathed in the long ditch where the water lies blue and little puffs of steam arise, and why not they? What though the Mex ican Central did lay its parallel bands of steel within a stones throw of their her. editary bath? That is the railroads fault, not theirs.
 In describing the scene the writer says: "We reached Aguas Calientes at sundown on Saturday, and I was so curious to see the place that the sun and I apepared cn the streets about the same time. Whole families appeared from the direction of the town bearing bundles of clothes on their heads. The Mexican peon owns only one change of garments, a shirt and trousers of cotton, a sash, sandals of the most prim- ftive design and straw sombrero, and he is abundantly clad For extra wrap there is the zarape, and to see the young In- dians about to bathe manipulate this useful garment Is a lesson in the art of draping. They select a convenient bush, unmake their toilets, and, sheltered by the friendly blanket, slide into the water While in the bath the women wash their chemises and skirts, and as soon as they are dry emerge from the water and put on the freshened wardrobe. Yau may see mater families bathing her brood. She selects a pool, and disrobing herself to the waist.

 "For salads that may be tasteless, such as chicken salad, or when the palate has tired of chicken, I squeeze the juice of squab upon the meat, after chopping it, and stirring it in a bowl. Cornelius Van- derbilts chef is said to have originated this. squab is taken uncooked and dis jointed. It is then put through small press and the juice extracted. This is heat ed and allowed to cool. It is then poured over the chopped chicken and let stand two hours. Just before taking to table the salad dressing is poured over the top.
 "'Poured over the top is an expression hateful to a French or Italian chef, who losses his salad together as though he were a. madman, and who considers it half unmade until every leaf is wet. The toss- ing is graceful act, and that is why so- ciety salads are generally good. The mixer whether it be beauty or the beast-should toss it we'll.
 "A salad is the most valuable dish one can serve. It is healthful, because, gener- ally minced, it is delectable, because nicely seasoned; and 1t is fashionable"

But if she makes a clear lettuce salad it never occurs to her to combine anything with it unseen, nor does she depart from the regulation mayonnaise flavors.
 ''Now, I know a good chef who carries with him box of sixty fiayors. They are in small bottles, labelled and pushed un- der leather straps like the case of a homeopathic physician, and these he uses when making his supper salads. He visits houses where balls are to be given and as- sists the kitchen chef with the salad mix ing. The result of this variety easily be imagined Though you may eat his cooking for weeks you never tire of it. nor can you be certain that your luncheon today has been prepared by the same chef who prepared it yesterday. There is a tooth to his dishes which makes them go down. Each day there is a flavor of unaccustomedness.
 And what does he have? Well, almonds, for one thing! You have eaten at very elegant caterers those tiny confections that are served with creams and ices. Those soft, frosting- sweet cakes that melt away in your mouth. On some of them there is sprinkling of something that looks like nutmeg. It is the coating of an almond, and it is the sign mark that touch of almond flavor is within.
