PRESERVING JUICES OF STEAK
Great Point to Be Remembered When
erolIin0 Of tha Meat 10
Undertaken.

In an article on The Appetzing
Beefsteak," In the Womsn's Home
Companion, Fannie Merritt Farmer,
the well-known cooking authority, pre-
ssnts a number of recipes and gives
the following general advice about
steaks:
THE underlying principle which
governs good broiling is this: One
side Of the meat must be quickly scar
ed, the meat must be turned, and the
other side quickly scared. This pre-
vents the escape Of any OF the juices.
Turn almost constantly for the irst
minute Of the cooking, then the meat
must be cooked on one side, turned
and cooked on the other, to suit in
dividual taste.
The best cuts Of meat for broiling
are porter house, ~sirloin, crosscut OF
rumpsteak and second and third cuts
from top Of round. Porterhouse and
sirloin cuts, although commanding
about the sane price per pound as
the cross cut OF the rump, prove more
expensive on account of the greater
loss in bone and fat. Round steak Is
very juicy, but, having coarser fiber,
Is " as tender. Neither Is the
flank end Of a porterhouse very ten
der. For this reason, 1t Is a good plan
to cut It on before cooking the steak
and use It FOR meat cakes (Hamburs
steak) or \ small stew. or perhaps q
small beefsteak pie. Cut out the
tenderloin and reserve 1t to be cook
Cd for one meal: cut OF the flank and
rave 1t to be prepared for another;
then brofl the sirloin for dinner. This
bone nay be used to give added rich
ness to the stock, II the flank end II
utilized for a stew"

excellent for plain material that has been

1t can be made of one material throughout

as well as it can be utilized for a blouse.
Long sleeves are fashionable Just now and
appear upon many of the latest models
but those of three-quarter and elbow
length continue to be smart. This blouse
can be made with three distinctly dit-

piece sleeves, or with full sleeves made in
elbow length with bands, or finished with
deep cuffs that extend to the wrists. The
peplum finish always is a good one for it
does away with all bulk below the waist
