Few Traces of the Community In
the East End OF London
When Princess Charlotte entered
London for her marriage with King
George and the coronation revels which
followed it, she passed from White
chapel to Islington through a prosper
Gus French section known as Spitai-
fields. 1t was the settlement of the
Huguenot refugees, who carried their
industries as well as their religion from
France and planted mulberry trees in
large gardens where silkworms could
be fed on home grown leaves.
The descendants of these weayers
We're rich and prosperous in the days
of George I'LL, and they lived in fine
old houses. with oak paneled rooms
and high latticed windows close under
the caves, where they could have light
for working their looms. There We're
as many as dozen Huguenot churches
in the east end of London during the
Georgian reigns, and when the beauti-
full Spitalfields church was built, with
its lofty spire, its bell early after sun
rise and again at curfew was the sig
nal for thousands of Industrious weay
ers to begin or end their 1abors for the
day. The industry has disappeared,
the houses have fallen into decay and
the gardens are neglected. Spitalfelds
has lost its French aspect and been
converted into swarming ghetto.
In order to find a distinct trace of the
II, Il
honorable history in the east end, one
must now go farther out in Hackney
and visit the French Protestant hos
pital near Victoria park. It is a beau
tiful modern structure designed in imi-
tation of an old time French chateau.
and it stands in spacious, well kept
grounds which offer a marked contrast
10 the ordinary east end environment.
The institution owes its origin TO a be-
quest made By French Huguenet
refugee two centuries ago and to lib
eral contributions from Weayers and
merchants in London. Work was be-
gun near Peerless Pool, in the northern
suburbs, where a hospital for poor
French Profestants and their descend
ants was opened and was long known
affectionately among the refugees as
La Providence. When the growth of
suburban London rendered the old site
ineligible, the second building was con-
strueted forty years ago and is now
the refuge of about sixty aged pen
sioners of Huguenot descent Detroit

For a small family the larger end Of
a medium sized ham is better than an
entire ham. At the time of purchasing
have the butcher cut several slices
from your purchase These may be
rubbed with lard OF suet fat and will
keep in prime condition for a week at
least The grease is easily wiped Off
when frying time comes.
Ham may be broiled, but for most
families it is best to pan broil'' it. for
in this way the fat is kept for frying
purposes Pan cooked ham should be
cooked slowly, drawing the pan back
from the fire after the first few mo-
ments. Always freshen the first slice
cooked, and then use Judgment. Some
ham is fresh enough for immediate
use. 1t is unnecessary when having
boiled ham and vegetables for dinner
or baked ham for the principal meat
dish to boil the entire amount of ham.
Especially is this undesirable in small
families, where one soon tires of dish
often repeated. Cut off four or five
pounds of the ham in compact chunk
and boil or bake it, leaving the rest to
be used later on in the same or differ
ent way. One should remember that
the ham will keep if the sliced side is
rubbed with lard or cornmeal almost
Indefinitely during the cold weather.
Do not use it SO frequently that the
members of your family tire of the
name ham. Remember it is only to sup
plement and exc out the purchase of
other meat, more especially for break
fasts and luncheons.
If the ham has not been skinned,
pour boiling water over it and when it
is cool enough to handle scrape and
wash clean. If the ham is a large
whole one, it will require a wash boiler
in which to boil. For the small piece Of

Change the water twice while it is
