as hash, is bat travesty upon the we'll
made article.
If the directions given in the follow
ing recipes for the various kinds of
hash be strictly observed, the result in
each instance will be a most satisfactory
revelation to the housewife whose make
shift of a dish called, for want of an
other name, hash, has only met with
scant welcome on the family table:
CoRNED-BEEF HASH

kinds of hash. To make it, allow one
part of cold boiled potato cut into small
cubes 10 two parts OF cold coTned-beef
chopped fine; mix well and season 70
taste with salt and pepper. Put a large
tablespoonful of butter in fTying-pan,
when melted turn the meat and potato
mixture into It and add enough boiling
water to moisten thoroughly. Cover
closely and set on a hot part of the
range for FIVE minutes. being careful not
to let it sCorch. When a crust is formed
on the bottom, turn and brown the upper
side; then transfer to a hot platter and
send to the table at once.
MUTTON HASH WITH GREEN PEAS
Chop the lean portions of cold roast
or boiled mutton fine. Cook in enough
cold water TO cover, adding, if the flavor
is liked, a little minced onion. Bring
slowly TO the boiling point, then move
the vessel to a cooler part of the range
and simmer until the meat is very tender.
Season with salt, pepper and butter,
thickening with -four. Have ready
stewed peas, fresh or canned, seasoned
for the table, also a sufficient number of
buttered rounds of toast; heap a helping
of the hash In the center of each round

she does to a turn. They
are served delicate and ten
der, instead of like pieces of
rubber. This is her unfail-
ing rule: For an hour or
longer they are soaked in
cold water to draw out the
blood, the water being
changed several times, and
sailed slightly to hasten the
process of blanching- A lit
tie vinegar is also good.
After they are white she
puts them into cold water
and brings it slowly to the
simmering point, where it
stays for twenty minutes.

THE CHARM OF GOOD TABLE

which help to form refinement of char
acter. Children who are left too much
to others are sure to acquire bad habits,
for children are very quick to observe
and to initiate those with whom they
associate.
Early Training Necessary
Mothers who are really interested In
the welfare of their children are very
watchfu1 over them, correcting their
faults gently but firmly, and not excus-
ing bad manners on the plea of childish
ignorance, or that these faults may be
overlooked now, as children will out

right for uncooked food if it Drowned
in forty seconds, it was right for cooked
tood-whIch simply needs browning and
warming. She noticed that when the
temperature is right, almost no fat IS
absorbed by the food and she felt Ger
tain that, at last, she had found the
way.
Croquettes
Delicious croquettes now seemed pos
sible. Half the battle remained, how
ever, for she did not know how to make
crOquettes creamy inside and OF perfect
shape. She had her ideal-hrm outside
and almost melting inside. She knew
which sauce to use, but not how much
and how to keep it in. Finally, on a
venture, she put in as much sauce as
she dared, put the mixture on the ice
till firm, shaping it without handling
and working like lightning. When they
went into the fat they were still cold
and firm; when they came out they
were 4 delicate brown, firm outside and
as creamy inside as even she desired
The egg coating had cooked as soon as
1t touched the fat, and the work was
done.
Using Left-oVers
Left-overs are passion with the little
lady Sometimes they go into the baker
in layers with white sauce and buttered
crumbs; sometimes it is. cheese and
crumbs or tomato sauce. Once in d
while rice, chopped meat and tomatoes
are seasoned and packed into parboiled
green peppers. Whether the peppers
are dipped into batter and fried IN deep
fat, or baked plain in the oven, depends
upon circumstances.

~ UCCESS is not always certain
- when the young bride begins
keeping house, and this troubles
her, for she wishes to know be-
forehand exactly how things turn out.
She knows women who cook as placidly
as they eat candy and always have good
luck" She has heard other women
sheer at measuring anything, and above
all to level off the measurements.
The sole argument advanced by these
women was the waste of time The
young housekeeper computed the extra
time used in making a dish the second
time because of a failure the first time.
and the added waste of material, OF per-
haps the disagreeable feeling of being
compelled to eat failures, and she knew
the saving was not on the side of haste.
The question of level measurements
set her thinking She discovered that
reliable recipes count on LeUeI measure
ments. Then she found a distinct rela-
ton between teaspoons and tablespoons,
and tablespoons and cups. For the first
time she noticed the great diversity in
the sizes of both kinds of spoons, even
for table use.
The Starting Point
Finally, she reached the starting point,
and learned that a correct teaspoon
holds sixty drops and is one-third of a
correct tablespoon. Next, she found
that sixteen tablespoonfuis make a cup
full She knew now why a cake had too
much -four sometimes, and too much
butter at other times, for her cooking
cups were not exactly alike. AS soon
as possible, she bought two measuring
cups, one divided into fourths and one
into thirds. She grew to prefer measur-
ing half or fourth of a cupful of butter

Fried Food
For long time fried food was under
a ban. just because it was so UeTy
good, sometimes, she decided there must
be a right way of frying She expert
mented with fats first and decided that
butter was the poorest of all, because
1t burned" before hot enough to cook
the food. The result was either strong
taste or greasy food. Olive-oil was best,
but its first cost was great. She decided
on a combination of three pounds beef
suet and one pound lard Beef drippings
and bacon fat were always saved. The
chicken fat shortened the crust of meat
pies.
To clarity the fat she either fried po-
tatoes IN it, allowed 1t to settle and
drained it off carefully, or else she put
the cold fat into the kettle, added cold
water and then melted the fat slowly.
When cold the clean solid fat was
taken off. Fish fat was never used for
frying anything else
The next lesson was to learn the tenn
peratures. Until she knew without the
test, she used cube of bread as a guide.

Cooking Calls Liver

Cooking Calls Liver
She knows just how to cook calls
liver. 1t must always be parboiled for
just one minute, the fat must be just
hot enough to cook but no hotter, and
1t must not cook a minute after it ceases
being rare. If fried plain, the slices are
dredged with salt, pepper and -four. If
stewed, a nice brown gravy is made and
strips of liver cooked in the gravy
Fresh mushrooms are sometimes added.
When the strips are rolled in thin sweet
bacon, fastened with toothpick and
fried, they are delicious.
The hsh-ball is another cheap delicacy.
