ON HOW TO USE MINT.
Mint Bed Easily Grown and Various
Ways in Which the Delicious
Flavor May Be Impaired.

Mint is always in favor and a mint
bed will develop with the least hint
of encouragement. The uses Of the
herb are countless.
Many sweet dishes are improved by
the flavor of leaf or two chopped
fine. Chopped mint may be added to a
cooked vegetable. a meat salad. an
apple or celery salad or TO cream of
pea or potato soup.
For a mint sherbet, the leaves are
merely bruised slightly, add a cupful,
packed down, TO a pint OF boiling wa
ter; steep for 20 minutes Add the
grated yellow rind and juice of a
lemon and a cupful of sugar.
Cover and let infuse until cold.
Strain and pour into the can of the
freezer, packing with equal quanti-
ties of ice and salt; freeze to a mush.
Remove the dasher, scrape the ice
from the sides of the can and let re-
main in until ready to serve. Serve
in small green glass sherbet cups
fecked with gold
If preferred, the following fruits
may be added 10 the SherDet. TO the
quantity mentioned add the juice of
three oranges, cupful of pineapple
juice and the milk from one cocoanut.
Turn into the freezer, and when half
frozen, stir in the stihiy whipped
whites OF two eggs and a wine glass
full of any preferred wine.
Mint sauce for spring lamb or for
game is made as follows: Chop fine
the well-cleaned leaves of a bunch of
mint and pour over them half a cup
of boiling water and two tablespoon
fuls of sugar. Cover closely and let
stand in a cool place half an hour.
Then add a dash of paprika, a quarter
teaspoonful of salt and four table
spoonfuls of vinegar. Mix thoroughly.

A gentleman and his wife were sit

alter. On the floor the man saw large
hat-pir with an amber head The Chi
cago Daily News tells what he did
with 1t.
Looking about him, he saw that
two women and their escorts had just
sat down. To one OF the women he
presented the pin. A shake of the head
indicated that he had made a mistake.
Then he tried two ladies across the
aisle. They seemed to be interested.
The pin was a curiosity, and its amber
of a unique carving. They hesitated,
but handed the pin back.
Desperately, he began the search
anew Two ladies unattended seemed
likely owners. To them also he
showed the pin. They took it and en-
joyed its pattern.
Just then the man felt tug on his
sleeve. 1t was his wife, and she re-
marked, why are you showing my
hat-pin to strangers?"
Blushing, he went over to the la
dies, who were still looking at the pin,
and explained.

such consciously guilty accents that
the women handed 1t back with Doubt
