The generally accepted belief that
a Frenchman can not cook a potato
fit to be eaten and that only the Irish
know how to cook those tubers to
perfection is a mistaken one This
fallacy arose from the belief that the
miserable. sOggy, bullet-like articles
called boiled potatoes, served in most
hotels and restaurants in the United
States. are cooked by French chefs.
But the fact IS, there are very few
French chefs in this country. Most

peeled potato so perfectly that it is
the acme of art in cookery.
1t was from a French vegetable
cook in a New York hotel that
learned how to boil a peeled potato,
and the lesson will ever be remem-
bered with deep gratitude.
This Is the way it was done.
First of all, medium-sized smooth
early rose potatoes were selected,
washed and peeled very thin with a
sharp, thin-bladed knife. Then they
were washed clean in cold water and
put to soak in cold water for an hour
after which they were put in a large
saucepan over the fire, with just
enough cold water TO cover them.
The saucepan was then covered and
the heat turned on full head till the
water came TO the boiling point Then
the heat was turned down and the
water boiled gently with the lid of the
saucepan pushed back little, so that
the steam escaped.
When the potatoes were nearly done
and the water reduced to about an
inch in the bottom of the saucepan
the lid was removed, a clean napkin
folded double, was laid over the tor
of the saucepan, and the potatoes
were cooked till they were dry
Then they were sprinkled over the
top with salt and allowed to stanC
on the stove for ten minutes longer

LDhere IUhiteS Observe the
Chinese Nec Year

Chinese New Year in San Fran
cisco is almost as important an event
as the regular Christian New Year.
The Chinese in San Francisco form
the largest colony of their people in
any Christian city. Their New Year
comes on variable dates between the
middle of January and February.
On that date the citizens of China
town in San Francisco celebrate joy
ously and have regular white mems
parades. The narrow streets are
thronged with whites and Mongolians
the latter dressed in their best silks.
1t is part Of the Chinaman's religion
to pay up all debts on New Years
Day and square his accounts. Not
only that, but it is incumbent upon
him TO be as generous as his means
will allow Were he to pass a beggar
without giving something he would
find no peace for his conscience unit
the following New Years Day gave
him the opportunity to atone.
The white beggars, organ grinders
and loafers OF San Francisco have
learned this, and they observe the dal

TN RECENT years it has become a
I fad among many persons to ban
i ish root vegetables from the daily
list of foods. All sorts of things
have been said against the eating of
tubers.
"Oh, do not eat potatoes; they have
so little nutriment They are all
starch and water, and will make you
fat"
This is one of the staple arguments
against this most delicious of all
tubers; and just as much is said to
prejudice people against others of
the root vegetables which for gen
erations past have been classed among
the necessaries of life and have been
eaten without i'll effects.

Silver gray is seen with emerald
green. The new, so-called putty shade
is combined with scarlet, and Bismarck
brown is used with shades of coral

Special attention should be given to
these curious relations of color, as the
present fashioning of toques and tur-
bans is by no means a simple affair.
They are expected TO give the highest
color light to the costume, whether it
be in the street or at the theatre, and
this high light, whether it be crimson
plume or crudest green, must harmon
lie with the prevailing tone.
This same rule is observed in the
carrying out of an entire costume. l
