AN INCARNATION OF FAT DIVIDENDS.
By W. j. HAMPTON

Copyright, 1900, by W. j. Lampton.)
John Tankerman lived in a fiat, and
he had been living in ole for so long a
time that he scarcely knew to the con-
trary.
The fat population of the world is, 1
fancy, several hundred thousand, of
whom probably several belong to that
population entirely from choice. 1t is
difficult to imagine any person prefer
ring a home in a fiat to one all to ones

garden at the rear. a bit Of green vel

ters of soft purple wisteria bloom

lazy porch before the windows. peep
ing out to the shady street; but there
are such people, and l have put their
number vaguely at several, which may
mean as few as possible more h
one.
With this condition confronting the
inquirer, ii may very reasonably be
asked why 90 people live in flats? And
1t may be answered that they do so
for the same reason that John Tanker
man did, tO-wit, because he knew the
touch of poverty that transforms the
would that we wish into the must
that we have. Not that John Tank
erman was poor, for he was not that;
nor are thousands who live in flats.
You must know that there are degrees

After a half hour or more of earnest
discussion, Mr.. and Mrs. Tankerman
set out on the return to their fiat, Mrs.
Tankerman taking the valuable belt
home with her in the same manner she
had brought it. On the way they met a
friend, who stopped them only long
enough to tell them that he was in
great luck, and wouldn't have to work
any more, and he skipped along like a
sehoolboy let loose for an afternoon.
AT the flat they met the i%anitor, who
informed them hat he had resigned his
position, owing to a fortune having
beer left to him. The elevator boy was
there. too.

By this time Mrs. Tankerman was far

home again, and his wife was on the
verge OF mysteries. Six hours had

breakfast bacon; boil till very tender.
and serve with bread sauce: save the liq-
uor in which 1t was boiled. and add next
day the carcass and boil for twenty min
utes: remove the bones by straining
through colander; pick out the small
pieces of meat and season. adding rice.
II liked, and there will be two dinners or
at least part of two dinners from one
fowl For the bread sauce: Peel and
quarter one onion and stew it in pint OF
milk TIL perfectly tender; break and
crumb three-quarters OF a pound of stale
bread into small pieces, carefully pick

and let It remain for an hour to soak,
then beat it up very smoothly with

know 1t is good. as have used 1t a num-
Der of years:-Take two pounds Of upper
round OF beef. free from fat, and chop
quite fine. Put 1t into the soup kettle,
add ore onion chopped fine. one bay leaf.
two sprigs of parsley, two stalks OF celery
and one quart of cold water. Cover and
let stand on the table for two hours, then
place on the fire and heat very slowly to
the simmering point; skim. then continue
simmering very slowly for four hours;
now strain. add salt to taste. and set
away until next day. Remove any fat
that may have risen to the surface, add
pepper to taste the slightly beaten white.
and crushed shell of an egg, and heat
slowly to the boiling point, stirring all the
time. then let boil without stirring for
ten minutes; lift from the FIRE, let stand
undisturbed for ten minutes longer, then
strain, without pressing. through two
thicknesses of cheesecloth. Color with
caramel, and It is ready to heat for serv-
ing. and know of nothing SO refreshing
ON a cold winters day as a cup OF good

this:-
Spaghetti Croquettes.
Cook six ounces of spaghetti In plenty

drain. and cut 1t up into half-inch
lengths; then add TO 1t quarter OF a

to cool. When cold, shape into small cyl
inders or balls, brush over with well
beaten egg. roll In bread crumbs, and fry
in smoking hot fat If this makes more
than you can dispose of in one meal they
are just as good warmed over; Just put
them into your frying basket dip into
smoking hot fat. leave long enough to
heat through, and they will be nice and
crisp. l hope you win try this. as they
are really very good.
