Timely Hints for the Housewife

The modern housekeeper has be-
gun to learn that there are other
ways CT cooking food than by boil
ing, broiling Or roasting, all of which
processes call for high heat. She
has come to know that long. SLOW
cooking, at a gentle heat, best con
serves the Eutritiye elements of
food and the flavors that render i.
most agreeable to us. 1t is this
method CT cooking that the earthen
casserole, with its clos-fitting cover,
has made possible for us. Then,
too, the casserole is the serving as
we'll as the cooking dish; and be-
sides, as from its nature it retains
heat for long time, the food pre-
scented in it may be kept in good
dinner. The casserole may be, also,
the main dependence OF the woman
who does her own work and likes
to serve her meals daintily in cours-
IS. The viands cooked in the cas-
serole, whether Of fish, flesh, fowl
or good red herring" nicely sea
soned and ready to serve, will not
deteriorate, if they be left in the oven
while the appetizer and soup are
being eaten; they may then be
brought to the table without further
manipulation or minutes delay.
Casserole cooking, properly con-
Quoted, is slow process. for it is
carried on at comparatively low
temperature. For an operation that
requires a high degree CT heat some
other utensil is indicated; thus, when
q sauce is desired, the sauce should
be made in a dish of some other
ware; the article to be served should
be made hos in this sauce and then
transferred, sauce and all, to the
casserole. When articles like fowl,
birds, sweetbreads, mushrooms. etc.
are to be Drowned in butter or oil,
before the liquid in which they are
to be finally cooked is added to
them, let the preliminary cooking
be carried on in the frying pan.
Then. when the articles are transfer
red to the casserole, carefully rinse
the pan, to secure all the Drowned
juices for the earthen dish. Hold
ever in mind this fact, that cas-
serole cooking should not pass be-
yond a gentle simmer and time must
be allowed for the process.
CARE OF POTTERY WARE.
The interior surface of casseroles
and ramekins is highly polished;
thus odor and flavor are not retain
ed and the dishes are cleaned with
ease by using hot water and soap.

AN ADVANCE FASHION NOTE.


The important feature in costume
fashions for autumn is the quite
general adoption of the normal
waist-line. This is the standard.
There are. however. variations both
ways and one finds, in addition to
the normal waistline. the low waist
line and that which is slightly
shortened. In the low or length
ened waistline we have the reflec-
ton from the Oriental style; in
shortened waistlines we have the
Directoire influence There are also
combinations of the two ideas; that
is. the waistline shortened in front
and slightly heightened at the back
This, perhaps, is the most charac-
teristic line in costumes, and it is
one which will unquestionably be
quite generally adopted.
