But it did. Late in the afternoon he
heard the expected steps go by his door

3 New Dances to Succeed the Turkey Trot 3

T>HERE is a difference between the
dances of last year and those
which will be popular this com
ing season
Last year to dance well you had only
to initiate some one else.
This year, to be a successful dancer
in the drawing room as on the stage,
you must have imagination and origi-
nalitY.
AS far as the stage goes, the turkey
trot and similar dances are thing of
the past, sand nothing is so completely
dead as a thing that is passed in the
theatrical world.
The dances which we do could be
transported to the drawing room with
out any difficulty at all, There is moth
ing suggestive about them, and, except
in few cases, the acrobatic features
could be eliminated without detracting
from the dance.
My first dance, and | speak as the
elder sister, being fifteen minutes older
than Rose, is a dance of Irritation and
coquetry; almost any good dancer could
arrange it by simplifying it little and
make very pretty drawing room dance
of it.

!" HERE are three main reasons
for cooking-yiz, ~ to develop
favors and make foods more
palatable, (2) to make some
foods more digestible and C3) to kill
germs. AS a rule, simple methods for
preparing foods are preferable because
they preserve the original favor. Veg
etables, which will form the principal
subject Of this article, are better when
cooked simply without the accompani-
ment of other ingredients.
In cooking any food the first great
essential to success is to be accurate
In method. Accuracy In measuring
and combining ingredients with a
knowledge Of the effect Of heat on diff.
ferent food materials, combined with
interest In the task, can almost always
be relied upon to insure a successful
finished product. Indeed, 1t can be
safely stated that there Is no such
thing as luck In cooking. Success de-
Ponds upon a knowledge Of certain
physical and chemical phenomena
which always occur under certain con-
ditions. 1t Is ignorance of or lack Of
attention to these underlying principles
which results In so many unsatisfactory
and indigestible dishes being served on
our tables.
Composition Of Vegetables.
There are a variety Of food mate
rails which cannot be classed as nutri-
tious. and yet they have distinct
value in the diet. For instance. fresh
fruit and vegetables are not especially
nourishing as far as making blood and
muscle and giving heat and energy are
concerned, but both should be given an
important place in the daily bill Of
