There are two methods of frying:
One with very little fat in the pan and
the other with enough to boil,
Chops or fat meats are best prepared
by putting them in the pan when it is
very hot, with just enough fat to pre-
vent them from sticking when first put
in. They should be cooked quickly and
turned frequently by use Of turnover.
Forks should never be used in turning
or trying meats, as each stab means
loss Of the juice They should not be
sailed when cooking, as salt releases
the juices. They should be seasoned
before serving and served hot and
quickly. Meats prepared in the forego-
ing manner are equal to broiled
If the other method is followed, a
deeper vessel and plenty of fat should
be used; the fat heated until it bubbles
and boils. and then the meats. chips
(potatoes), doughnuts, or whatever the
article is, dropped in and cooked until
brown and well done. Meats should
first be rolled in dry crumbs, cracker
dust, corn meal or flour.
Articles cooked this way should be
turned over once and when done set
In a strainer to drip or dry; if dough-
nuts, dipped in powdered sugar; if po-
tatoes or meats, seasoned or served
hot
Steak for frying, if tough, can be
made tender by pounding to mash the
fiber and rolling in flour before frying.
When frying, meats should be covered.

A circular table, or a long oval lends
itself to decoration better than one with
square corners. At luncheon recently
given, the covers-were divided from the

of fine asparagus, ornamented directly
in front of each plate by a bouquet of
violets placed as a souvenir
The salver is used to a certain extent,
but not at all times in table service.
Where there is a large party to serve
and only one waitress, it is quite usual,
If everything is served a la Russo, to
dispense with the salver so far as the
plates are concerned; in this way the
waitress can bring in or remove a plate

to use the salver. If a salver is used
for serving the plates the guests should
take such plate from the salver.
Cool weather makes it possible to
purchase perishable foods in larger
quantities and the housewife is thus
able to market more economically. This
is most necessary in the meat line as
the price of all meats has steadily ad-
vanced during the last few months.
With increased expense in view, she
must try to utilize the cheaper cuts of
meat and so to prepare all that every
scrap may be used.
At the risk of offending the admirers
of Oliver Wendell Holmes, and they
are legion, dare to take exception to a
term he uses in "a Moral Antipathy,"
says writer in Table Talk The
"Napkin-ring Glass, which he employs
somewhat derisively to describe homely
folk to sparing of labor to supply
fresh napkins for each meal, Mr.. Hol-
mes in his cSver book intimates that
there should be no need of the napkin
ring, as the napkin should be carried
after serving for one meal direct to the
soiled clothes hamper. Let us try a
little lightning calculation in connec-
ton with the well-known authors
method-three napkins a day for six
persons aggregates just one-hundred
and ninety-six napkins a week Can
we not see the clouds lowering over
"blue Monday and hear the rolling
thunder of domestic revolution?-
No. Mr.. Holmes, we may abolish the
objectional ring, but the family and
permanent guests cannot have a fresh
napkin three times day, without open
revolt from below stairs sufficient IN
