STAND UP TO FIT A SHOE.
"People would find less difficulty with
ready made Shoes" said the experienced
salesman, 'if they would stand up to fit
them on, instead of sitting down. Nine
persons out of ten, particularly women,
want a comfortable chair while they are
fitting a shoe, and it is with the greatest
difficulty you can get them to stand for a
few minutes even after the shoe is fitted.
Then, when they begin walking about, they
wonder why the shoes are not SO comfort
able as they were at first trial. A wo-
mans foot is considerably smaller when
she sits in chair than when she walks
about. Exercise brings large quantity
of blood into the feet, and they swell
appreciably. The muscles also require
certain space. In buying shoes this fact
should be borne in mind" New York

HOW TO COOK VEAL.
Veal is meat which should always be
thoroughly cooked, and that rather slow
ly. Half an hour to pound is usually
allowed in roasting. AS veal has COM
paratively little flavor and is rather dry, it
requires plenty of fat in the cooking If
roasted, it should be frequently basted
with butter or else covered with strips of
pork. In roasting, thick piece from the
upper part of the leg is considered best,
although the loin and breast are also ex-
cellent. Remove the bone, if the fillet is
used, and fill the space with highly sea-
soned dressing. Dredge with salt, pepper
and flour, and put in dripping pan, COW
ering with buttered paper OF the cover of
the pan. Strips of pork may be laid on
the top of the meat, or butter may be
used in the basting. Add water when the
-four has Drowned, and haste often. Cook
ed this way, veal is especially nice the
second day, eaten cold in slices.
