has a series Of rows of quillings, IN silk
and satin, on a wide point d'Esprit
founce. Another, in white, has panels Of
silk shirring separated by insertions Of
point de Paris lace, with deep edging of
the same lace. Still another. has a soft
and pretty founce of silk muslin, in
cluster plaits. These are $40, S22 and
S27, respectively.
Then here are others, less elaborate

SHORT HOUSEHOLD TALKS.
Hamburg Steak Often Adulterated- When
First Glass Is Not Cheap.

Food aduteratiou, Us many know, has now ex-
tended even to Hamburg steak Once upon time
the economical woman could sincerely feel that she
was buying sweet, wholesome meat ut small price
in this form
Hamburg steak taken directly from good piece
Of meat and chopped by the butcher before ones
eyes Is not especially cheap. and the cheaper
variety found for sale already chopped Is badly
adulterated and often unfit to eat
II any wishes to be really economical and
has the time to spare she Will be wise If she buys
a low priced meat like the round and puts it
through her own patented meat chopper at homo.
The butcher charges extra. a good extra too.
for the chopping. and his meat chopper Will proha-
bly, not be as clean that at home.
Hamburg steak will be more tender and better
IN every way II It is broiIed Of fried. Fry
ing certainly makes it tough. 1t should be served
rare and with plenty Of rich seasoning It IS nice
for simple meal. Serve with fried onions. If
fried onions are not used it should be served with
some kind OF sauce with watercress or other gar
n!sh.
There two other forms Of steak similar to
Hamburg and excellent for a change The first IS
called Hanoverian steak To prepare it chop
piece of lean beef-about pound and a half of
the sirloin, If convenient
Grind It exceedingly fine in meat grinder. Add
a tablespoonful OF salt and half e teaspoonful OF
pepper. Form the meat into six fat cakes rub
them with melted butter and brou four minutes
on each side. Put one ounce Of butter in q frying
pan on tho stove, add half a cupfuI of finely
chopped onion and cook without browning for six
minutes Then add four large tomatoes peeled and
cut into small pieces. Season highly with salt and
pepper, using about one-half teaspoonful of salt
and one-fourth teaspoonful Of pepper. Add also
half g teaspoonfuI Of sugar and cook ten minutes
After arranging the steaks on platter, pour the
sauce over them and
The second Is beef Ia tartare Use only beef
of the finest qualify. this curious dish is never
cooked Take any tender piece of steak and season
every pound OF It. after mincing it fine. with one
tablespoonful OF salt Divide the meat equally into
four pyramids and place them four small tea
plates. Make hollow in the middle OF each pyIa-
mid put into 1t one egg yOlk and garnish with
tiny slices Of onion or minced onion and pieces of
picked beet Skin and bone six anchovies. Divide
into two dllets and roll each het up. Place three
OF them each plate top Of a pyramid.
Serve with bread and butter. This dish is not
as often in America in Europe, but 1t will make
very good and nourishtng luncheon dish; After
the plates OF meat served, each guest mixes the
egg yoIk in the centre with the meat and the gar
nish OF vegetables. seasoning further 10 suit his

WAYS OF COOKING CORN.

A good many housewives believe that corn should
boil SONS time when It is to be served the cob
This is a mistake Boiling corn toughens 1t. Here
are two good ways of cooking corn in the favortte
American fashion-on the cob. One is to husk II
and silk It carefully, TO place it IN cold water and
bring It gradually to the boiling point When this
Is reached-that Is, when the water actually begins
to raise In big bubbles the centre OF the kettle
the corn should be taken UP. Another way Of
cooking It is in the husk. Pull of the outside
husks and all the silk. Leave the delicate in
side husks, wrap them over the corn and tie them
on with a white string or coarse thread Place
them in cold water, gradually bring It TO the boil
ing point and then cook the for three or four
sweeter and TO retain more Of its natural flavor
than when cooked without the husks 49,
When cold leftover corn is 10 be served In rrlt-
+ers pancakes, stew or suCcotash It should always
be scored first and then partly cut down through
with 2 knife. The juice and pulp that remain
