Garnishing Foods.

palate is by way of the eye' SO our
aim should be, in preparation Of
foods, to make them as tempting in
appearance as possible. A dish of
cold meat served in an ordinary way
would not be appetizlng. Let some
dett fingers arrange a garn1sh OF
some new cut and what change we
have.
The January issue of Ladies World
says: such dish may be transformed
by a garnish of tomato aspic cut into
cubes or other fancy shapes, and
sprigs of parsley. Crescents or thin
rounds of lemon, in combination with
parsley or some other green, are also
effective garnishes for cold meat A
border Of potato croquettes or balls,
with a touch Of cress or parsley here
and there to give the color tone, adds
both to the appearance and savoriness
of such dish. Quite the newest
thing, though, in the way Of garnish
for cold meats is to thread fancy
skewers-which are now on sale in
most department stores alternately
with button mushrooms, sections Of
lemons, olives and beet cubes, and
then decorate the dish with them.
For fried foods nothing makes
prettier or more appetizing garnish
than lemons cut into various shapes,
and fringed celery.
When arranged for individual serv
ing, croquets may be made very at
tracive if surrounded by border of
chopped olives. A border of raw
tomatoes cut into lengthwise sections
converts the ordinary dish of veal
outlets into thing Of beauty, while
furnishing, at the same time, the
touch Of acid SO agreeable to the taste.
No form of decoration seems so
we'll suited to dish Of lamb or NUT
ton chops as green peas disposed as
border around the chops. This is
an especially effective garnish when
the meat is arranged for individual
serving.
Potatoes cut into fancy shapes,
such as balls, flutes, lattices, strips
and other designs, then fried crisp,
make most effective decorations for
fish. Circular scoops, tin and wooden
cutters and e1icers for makinp these
shapes accurately and expeditiously
may be bought for trlhing sum
each, and will prove a satisfactory in
vestment Potato roses, fashioned by
pressing seasoned mashed potatoes
through a tube similar in construction
to the pastry tube, are also an appro-
pirate garnish for fish dishes, more
especially baked fish.
For garnishing a dish of stewed
checker use rice nests, placing in the
center of each a tiny cheese ball or an
olive. A latticed border formed Of
three-inch strips of vermice1li, cooked
tender in sailed boiling water, makes
an unusual and most artistic decora
ton for stewed or fricassed chicken.
When radishes are obtainable, moth
ing forms a more appetizing garnish
for the dish of steak or other break
fast meat than radish roses. For this
purpose select small red radishes,

Isaac Shelby, the hero Of Kings 7iOun-

felIow-hero Of the same battle, John Sc

nessee. The early days Of the State gov

possible TO persuade the States east Of
the Appalachians that the Kentuckiaas
and others i'm the Ohio Valley had any
interests worth looking after. Spain held
the Mississippi River and occupied New
Orleans, which was practically the only
market Kentucky could look to. Then
came the Spanish intrigues. in which
men OF great influence in Kentucky act
uaTy conspired 10 set up Kentucky as an
Independent state, under the protection Of
Spain. This appears as arrant treason
now. but in those days the faith in the
stability Of the Federal government was
weak. even in the East, and the unpro-
tected and neglected pioneers looked upon
Spain asia tower Of refuge and strength.
