WAYS OF SERVING CHEESE
Some Suggestions for the Housekeep-
er Who Wishes to Avoid
Monotony.

The housekeeper who does not be-
lieve in monotony does not serve
cheese in the same way two days in
succession. A little planning will en-
able her to run three or four different
kinds of cheese at the same time.
keeping them all fresh by putting them
In an alright cold place.
AS most cheeses spoil quickly 1t Is
well to buy In smaller portions. espe-
cially in warm weather. Some cheeses
are so perishable that grocers will not
handle them in summer, and they
should not be bought unless to be
eaten at once.
The same kind of cheese may be
served in various forms. Take the
popular cream cheese, probably more
used than any other one make. II you
pass it out in squares one day, the
next mix it In balls sprinkled with
parsley; again mix with chopped
pimolas; or thin slightly with whipped
cream. mix with chopped red peppers.
and remold into fiat thin cake, which
is passed whole.
Instead of serving barbecue and
cream cheese separately, stir together
into a mixture about the consistency
of creamed butter and sugar.
Fried cheese balls are delicious
served with plain lettuce and French
dressing. Mix into the cheese chopped
parsley, dash OF cayenne. pinch OF
salt. and two drops OF onion juice.
Mold into balls, dip in egg and bread
crumbs. and fry In boiling lard before
serving.
Another fried cheese with lettuce Is
made of the English or ordinary Amer
lean cheese cut in strips like French
fried potatoes. Dip these in seasoned
egg and bread crumbs and fry In deep
fat when ready for use.

Sauce for Fricassee.

Stir together two tablespoonfuls OF
butter and one OF -four previously
mixed with a little milk. Add a pint
of milk and white stock mixed In
equal quantities.; or pint OF milk
alone. Add sliced carrot. chopped
onion. a few sprigs Of parsley and
salt and pepper to taste. Put into the
sance whatever meat 1t Is intended
to fricassee and stew gently until ten
der. Remove the pieces into another
saucepan, thicken with the yolks OF
two eggs, squeeze in the juice OF half
a lemon, pour over the meat and serve
very hot.

or Made Continued Use Of Its
Catch Phrases.

mere was time when the vogue
OF P1nafore" was simply amazing
II was not copyrighted and after it's
success In London it was pirated in
the United States This piracy was
the initial cause of Gilbert's hatred
OF America and Americans.
However. If America did not send
MIN its dollars. it was quite ready to
spread his fame, says the Bookman
Church chcirs added "Pinafore" to
tneir repertoires. and it is recorded
that 100000 barrel organs were con
structed to play nothing else. Here
is an ironscal note from a newspaper
OF the time:
AT present there are AZ companies
playing 'Pinafore Companies formed
after p. m. yesterday are not In

Its catch phrase, What, never?
Well. hardly ever!" was deadly. It is
told. for instance. that one editor
barred his staff from using it
1T occurred 20 times in as many
articles yesterday. Never let me see
1t used again" What, never?" was
the unanimous question well, hard
ly ever" replied the wretched man.
The readiness of w. S. Gilbert's
wit is well illustrated by this story
told OF him. He and F. C. Burnand,
the editor of Punch, were guests at
the same dinner table where wise
host placed the rival humorists at op-
posite ends of the room in the hope
OF distributing equally the witty table
talk.
Continual shouts of laughter rose
from Gilbert's corner until Burnard,
after Intellectual attempts to arouse
similar POPULARITY IN his immediate
circle and unable to conceal his cha.
grin, leaned forward and said in his
| most sarcastic manner:
Il suppose Mr. Gilbert is telling
some of those funny stories which he
occasionally sends to Punch but
which don't appear"
TIC which Gilbert dryly replied: 81
don't know who sends the funny sto
ries to Punch, but it's very true they
don't appear"

Wet or Dry Feeding.

Many poultrymen now grind part OF
their chicken feed into meal SO that
it can be fed either wet or dry in
the form of mush. It has been found
that in forcing chickens for quick
growth or egg producing, feeding a
portion of ground feed is great help
Part of the work of digestion has
been accomplished by the artificial
grinding and the hen SO fed can use
the energy thus saved for something
else. That is the real advantage OF
feeding ground grain.
The general consensus Of opinion
at the present time is that the dry
mash is more desirable than wet
Many practical poultrymen. however
still prefer the wet mash.
