the New Cook Book

soft dough- just stiff enough to roll out. Try
a pint of sfted flour to begin with, working it
in gradually. Spread little sweet milk over
each and sprinkle with sugar. Bake in quick
oven light brown.
Apple Cream Tart
Six eggs, 6 apples, grated, / cup of English wal
nuts, p cup sugar, " spoonful cinnamon; beat eggs
separately; yolks and sugar beaten to cream;
add grated apples, nuts, cinnamon and few
drops of vanilla; mix together; whites of eggs,
well beaten, and added TO the above; mix lightly.
Bake in two deep jelly pans in moderate oven
for about three-quarters of an hour. Have pans
well CREASED and Toured. When cold cover layers
with whipped cream.
Delicious Drowned Corn
Canned corn as often served, is sloppy and
more like soup than is desirable when it is
supposed to be a vegetable Corn soup is delicious
in its place, but now we are using corn as a vege-
table. Have shallow pan hot and in il put
one tablespoon of butter. Drain off most of the
thin juice from the corn, then put it in the but
ter and let it simmer; season it well with salt
Los Angeles herald., 1906-02-04

and pepper. Let it cook until the moisture is all
dried off and the corn begins to fry in the but
ter. Do not stir it, neither let it burn. When
brown crust has formed ON the bottom stir it
up and then let it cook awhile longer and serve.
1t should be favored all through with the
Drowned part, and it will have something of the
flavor of corn roasted before the open FIRE, and
will be found to be desirable addition to the
spring menu.
Oyster Soup
Drain one quart of oysters and pick them over.
Chop the oysters fine and heat the liquor TO the
boiling point. Now turn the whole into fine
piece of cheesecloth doubled, Drain, then twist
the cloth, and squeeze out all the liquor that will
go through. Throw the contents of the cloth
away, as all the food value has been taken out
and the residue is indigestible.
Put into four cups of milk slice of large
onion, three stalks of celery cut into pieces, a
small bay leaf and half blade OF mace. Heat
slowly to the boiling point in a double broiler
and take out the seasoning. Rub three level
tablespoons of butter with the same amount Of

ench Children Artificial Declares an English Critic

people in the hotel were English, and she was
very unhappy that she could not play with the
children. However, language would not deter
her, and so she played, laughed, danced, punched
them, showed them her doll or her bucket, and
became quite friendly. But fine day she put
her hand in her mothers and said: Teach me
some English quick; l want to talk" And so in
a very few days she did.
A word here and word there will work mar
vels in foreign language, as Mademolselle
Langouste soon found out.
She told all the older boys she would marry
them when she grown up, marriage evidently
being we'll to the fore in her little French mind
at the age of eight.
AS another instance of this French fashion of
Anglicising the children, in friends house
lately visited little grandson Of the hostess was
staying. He was eleven, French boy who had
never been out of France, who spoke excellent,
faultless English, but very bad French. This was
really going little too far. He called himself
English" said he would be "naturalized as
soon as he was old enough;" in fact, he was far
more of John Bull than an ordinary English
child.
"Do make them send me to school in England" +"
he whispered one day in my "Do just be
nice, now, and do-do."
/ laughed. "Why?"
Because English boys have lots of story books
of travel and adventure, they play football and
cricket and hockey and lots of things, and they
don't have to wear short trousers and bare legs
with socks"
The greatest charm of French children is their
Difference to their elders, their respect for their
parents and the close family ties that seem to
exist in every home in France, whether among

an excellent reputation in France. Only the
other day l was travelling from Dmard, in Brit
tany, towards Paris, when a very nlce-looklng
midde-aged woman and two little girls got into
the carriage. A smart-looking chauffeur was
seeing them off, and valet-de-chambre, with his
white apron, was tucking away the luncheon
basket. The overcrowded train at last steamed
away from the quaint, little station, and
surveyed the little party minutely. Evi-
IDENTIFY superior English nurse with two smart
little French girls
We soon got into conversat tion, and they man
aged to while away the time agreeaby. The
nurse had been fourteen years in France, and
she had only been in two situations, her present
lady being friend of the first
II take the young ladies to the sea for six
weeks every summer, and Monsieur and Madame
come backwards and forwards but they never
stay more than week at a time. We have a
villa at Dnard, and the children call it their
villa as it is really kept for them"
and how do you spend your days" l asked
the elder girl.
1--WE have an English breakfast" she replied,
grandly, "eggs and marmalade, at eight o'clock.
Then we go down to the beach and we paddle
all the morning. We have lots of friends and
we build castles and things, and eat greengages,
and have an awful good time. We are always
very sorry when Mamie says it is time to go
home for dejeuner."
Nurse smiled
Eyes; l have great trouble in getting them
home sometimes. After dejeuner / make them
rest lie on the bed, and be quiet for an hour.
Bebe is only four, and she sleeps"
Il don't" proudly explained Mademoiselle
Quatre-ans.
I'm too old to sleep, you see" continued the
Los Angeles herald., 1906-02-04

elder "Then, when it's cooler, go on to the
beach again, unless papa and mamma are there
Then we have to be dressed up and go out in
the automobile in gloves and hate that"
Nurse smiled, evidently appreciating the fact
that her little proteges preferred to run wild to
being dressed up in sashes and gloves and starch
ed frocks.
II take them home about six, said nurse, "and
we have meat tea, generally consisting Of fish
or eggs, fruit and jam, and about seven
put them to bed"
'Yes but you brush our hair first, you horrid
old Nannie.'
The good woman smiled.
"And nice mess I find it in, mademoiselle" F"
Then, turning to me, she remarked: II always
give their hair good brush every night, and
tangles bring tears; but I'm very particular about
their baths and their hair"
Then l congratulated them all on their English
'I like English better than French" exclaimed
the elder girl. "There aren't so many stupid
'Monsieurs' and fMadames in it,
She was right We are not nearly so polite as
the French. We just say eyes" and "No," never
repeat a sentence, and rarely address person
by name; therefore much less material is neces-
sary to keep up an English conversation.
And so the little French girls whirled away
towards Paris, where they were only to stay a
couple of days; to repack and start for Burgundy,
where the parents had chateau and were al
ready installed for la chasse.
Another instance of French childhood l came
across was little girl of eight. She had never
seen the sea before and her joy over the waves,
the sea weed and shrimps-whirh she found were
grey instead of red-was delightful. She wore a
red blouse and red bloomers, so we called her

either cold or hot slaw.
Boiled Steak and Kidney Pudding

Moisten edges Of crust, cover pudding over and
press the two crusts together and turn up the

Wiring out cloth in hot water, tie up the
pudding, put into boiling water; boil for four
hours. This can be enriched by adding few
oysters

washing with ammonia.
Cure for Neuralgia
Cut thick slice of fresh bread, soak one side
for minute in boiling water and sprinkle rapid
y cayenne pepper on the moist side. Cover with
thin muslin or cheesecoth and apply while smok
ing hot. A piece of oilskin is good to keep it
moist and hot.
Here's the New Idea
To make excellent iron holders cut pair OF
wornout boots shoes into squares and cover
with some suitable material, using as many
thicknesses of the leather as desired and whip
ping it closely in place.
A Remedy for Burns
Wet saleratus and spread on cloth; bind this
around the burned part and in few hours it
will be nearly well, unless the burn is very deep,
in which case the saleratus should be removed
and the burn should be covered with piece of
old linen on which has been rubbed little NUT
ton tallow or sweet oil.
Soothing Cough Syrup
A good cough syrup, which is easily made is
as follows Take package of horehound, pour
over it quart Of boiling water, let it stand for
an hour, then strain, add the juice of 2 lemons
/ stick of licorce, 5 cents worth of faxseed tied
in muslin bag and "a cup of sugar and boil all
together to form thin syrup. Some like half
cup Of molasses instead of the sugar. Take
teaspoonful several times day.
Excellent Polish for Woodwork
To one pint Of lnsed oil take the same guam
tity of cold strong tea, the whites of two eggs
and two ounces of spirits Of salt to make polish
for the woodwork Mix all well together, then
pour into bottle, which must be well shaken be-
fore the polish Is used. Make a pad of soft
linen, pour few drops of the polish onto it,
and rub the article to be polished well with it,
finishing off with an old silk handkerchief. The
above is a Japanese recipe and in Japan fine
paper is used instead of the linen and silk
Value Of camphor Ice
There is hardly any toilet article more neces-
sary in winter for chapped hands and lips thar
camphor ice, and while it is expensive to buy at
the druggists, it can be made cheapy at home
and be absolutely pure The ingredients are 8
ounces of white vaseline, 5 ounces of hard paraf-
fin and ounces Of spirits of camphor. Heat the
paraffn and vaseline until melted, then add the
camphor and stir slowly until cold. Keep in
porcelain jar. Camphor ice can be used for
great many things. For roughened hands and
for irritations of the skin it is excellent, and s
good for warts and cons. 1t will often loosen

System Of the nursery" and in most of the bet

'Why do you employ so many of my country

white hair, daintily powdered and thrown back

"There are many reasons" she replied. "They
are cleaner and more particular in their nurseries
and in the bringing up of the children generally.
They look upon baths and hair brushing ne
cessties, and not as luxuries. They have not so
many friends to gossip with nor continually want
to visit They come here to make money and
save it, so that they are altogether more thriftiy
inclined and above all, they teach the children
English without the trouble of learning it. Nearly

nurses or governesses, and you can hear little

All this sounded very sensible, and it certainly
was true. These Englshwomen have acquired

body has new "ism" nowadays, and is eager
to talk about it. All these isms lend themselves
admirably to conversation, and the old-fashon-

The smart woman Of to-day enters drawing
room talking in strident voice, shouts her greet
ings to her hostess, rushes across the room to
chatter to frend-laughing and nodding to ac-
quaintances as she does so. She laughs loudly,
and if she wishes to do so-she whispers. She
emphasizes her speech by many gestures, and
her adjectives are all superlative When she
moves she "wiggles"-head shoulders, hips all
sway with each step she takes. When she sits
down she crosses her knees, and her cold eyes
wander restlessly from one object to another in
