lnem the Proper Morning Feed.
Possibly 1t may havei happened that
the sentiment of the MJssulman re-
garding the fshiness Of his wives and
daughters has had some psychological
effect upon the women Of New York.
At least 1t Is true that the tendency
OF American women Is toward taking
on flesh, and that those reversely in
clined made prodigious efforts In the
direction OF having their bones well
covered. The Nfussulman buys his
wife and sells his daughters by the
pound, the fatter they are. therefore,
the more his price Is augmented.
Thinness among, his women is not only
a calamity, but an evidence of poverty.
Judicious fattening Is practiced among
his people somewhat as an art might
be In another nation. It Is some of
the Mussulman's pet ideas about fat
tening foods that New York women
are now emulating in their fad for
eating fruits and cereals.
Dates opened and filled with fresh
butter after the pits have been re-
moved is one of the most favored diets
for thin women. 1t Is said to put fat
on the bones, while at the same time
invigorating the system through the
prevention of indigestion. literally it
is a stunning process with those who
desire TO gain flesh in this way. The
dates are eaten in as great quantity
and as often as possible. The desire
for other food is overcome by the pre-
ponderance of the dates and butter
that are consumed At the same time
there is no restriction against eating
whatever other food the appetite
Graves.
Women who do not go in exclusively
for the date and butter food some
times prefer to eat cereals in consid-
cradle quantity that have, been made
+. tasty with raisins. Either the raisins
are cooked with the cereals or they
are eaten from a separate dish in con-
nection with the cereal. White cereals
and rice are preferred by.s6me> wom-
en-, while others like better the ones
made of whole wheat. But in, either
case a little .overspread cream and
raisins are necessary adjuncts., In
cases, moreover. where fattening is
desperately desired a tablespoonful Of
glycerine is mixed through the cereal
before covering 1T with cream. The
taste is not disagreeable, adding only
q little sweetness to the flavor.
Cereals fried in olive Oil is another
form in which they are relished by
those desiring to put on flesh. The
manner of their preparation Is then
very simple. After having been mixed
with a white sauce they are rolled into
shape with the yolk of an egg and
bread crumbs and later dipped In the
olive oil. Olive oil, In fact, Is promi-
nent on the menu of the moment.
Fruit and nut salads are served fairly
swimming in it, and even small fishes
have 1t over them asa sauce similar
to that Of sardines.
A paste made of almonds. rolled
and fried in olive oil is one of the
especially delicious morsels eaten by
seekers of flesh. Sometimes in max
ing these almond croquettea more
over, a white cereal is used as stiff
ener or to give them proper consisten-
cy before serving.
Compotes of stewed fruits and rice
are now one of the popular dishes
at home luncheons. For occasions of
more form they can be made attractive
by the addition of whipped cream.
Among salads those made apples and
nuts have retained their popularity.
A pretty fashion at present popular
is to use apples to hold salad as well
as for making the salad proner Very
large bright red apples are first Sc
lected, and these have their tops
sliced off and their liner parts scooped
out for later use. They appear then
not unlike small Edam cheeses. From
the removed centers of the. apples the
salad is devised which later fills them
to Overlooking. Indeed, it is very pop
ular to crush the soft part of the
apples and mix it with chopped nuts
and French dressing in rich olive oil
before replacing 1t in the apple dishes.
The whole is then bowed to as one
Of the wholesome and fattening salads.
1t is, besides, extremely pleasing to
look upon. fr
In making dressing for salads a fad
is abroad to substitute lime Juice for
that of lemon, which in its turn re-
places vinegar in fashionable house
holds. The lime Juice lends some
what musty taste to salads which Is
not altogether understood by the un-
initiated. Those of astronomical pro-
clivities, however, greet it eagerly.
The sweet that is chosen by careful
women desiring flash is an, almond
pistache nougat, most delightful, In
deed, to the taste. 1t is thought to
hold the fattening propensities and yet
to be chary of producing the unpleas-
ant results of many sweets. This
sweet. however, is much more costly
in America than in Italy and Sicily,
The sicilian, of course, like the Mus
SULLIVAN, desires strongly that his wom-
en- shall be plump.
