CARROTS IN VARIOUS STYLES
Many Ways In Which This Healthfui
Vegetable Can Be Made Into
Delicate Dishes.

The humble carrot has an especially
good effect on the system at this time
and despite its strong taste 1t may be
made into the most delicate dishes
Winter carrots are slightly boiled In
three different waters to remove this
rankness, but the new spring sort Is
dainty enough to require one water
only. Spring carrots, which begin to
appear in March, are delicious when
boiled plainly and served with maitre
d'hotel-clarified butter sauce. A dust
Of finely chopped fresh parsley on top
gives them new piQuancy to those
who tire Of the carrot taste. Carrots
served with cream are first boiled in
plain water and then drained and
warmed anew In the sauce that has
been preparing. To make this d.
lutte little Of the boil water with
two-thirds cream and thicken slight
ly with corn starch; season with
black pepper and salt and add a tea
spoonful of butter. Carrot fritters
are made with the cold boiled vege-
table mashed up and mixed with bread
crumbs and egg; enough cream to
make thickish batter is used and the
fritters are fried in boiling oil. Oys-
ter plant and parsnips are also de-
licious when served in fritter form,
the various ingredients used giving
the vegetables most delicate taste.

Removing Smoke Stains.

A housekeeper had the misfortune
to have fire and, while everything
was not destroyed, the smoke pene-
trated into the drawers holding table
and bed linens and the smoke stain
seemed next to impossible to remove.
She tried everything she could think
of or that was suggested. and finally
found that by soaking the white
clothes over night in cold water and
plenty Of kerosene, then washing
them in the usual manner and hang
ing them in the sun to dry, all traces
of smoke stains had disappeared.
