sEcner OF GOOD COFFEE.
Best Ingredients and Proper Making
Are Necessary.

The secret of good coffee lies In
having The best ingredients and in
the proper making. says writer in
the New York World. By the best in
gradients are meant those delightful
coffees grown on well-watered noun
tain slopes. such as the famous Java
and Mocha coffees. the Mocha and
Java mixed half and half. It is best
to parch the coffee grains just before
making the coffee. but If this is not
convenient the coffee can be bought
parched in the grain, but never
ground. 1t should be ground lmme-
diately before using. in order to pre-
serve the delicious flavor.
Good coffee should never be boiled.
Bear this in mind. The good Creole
cook never boils coffee. but insists on
dripping 1t in covered strainer, slow
ly, slowly, drip, drip. drip, till all the
flavor is extracted. The water must
be freshly boiled, and must never be
poured upon the grounds until it has
reached the boiling point.
1t is of the greatest Importance that
the coffee-pot be kept perfectly clean
This point is only too often over
looked, and yet the coffee-pot re
quires more than ordinary care. for
the reason that the chemical action OF
the coffee upon the tin or agate tends
to create a substance which collects
and clings to every crevice and seam,
and, naturally. in the course of time
will affect the flavor of the coffee.
Very often the fact that the coffee
tastes bitter or muddy arises from
this.

The return of Mr.. De Tavenier caus-

He was always courtly. and his
genial smile was pleasant. despite the
something in the background which
his daughter was as keen to discover
as had been, and her devotion to him
was beautiful to see.

A change in luncheon dessert may
be made by cooking apples in this way
