SUGGESTIONS FOR EATAsLEs.

A most tasty salad may be made
at this season. using the large French
chestnuts. Cook them until soft, and
combine with celery and French dress
ing. Nothing in the salad line can
be more pleasing. Apples may be
added, making another form Of Wal
dorf salad.
SIrIoirT Of beef.-For a small COM
pany dinner, try this way Of cooking
steak: Bone a steak that weighs two
and half pounds. With small lard
ing needle, lard the top of the beef
lengthwise with thin strips of pork.
Put two tablespoonfuls of the pork
trimmings in a baking pan. add a
small carrot, an onion cut fine, stalk
Of celery cut in bits, two sprigs of
parsley, a bay leaf, half Glove of
garlic crushed and two cloves. Lay
the steak in this bed Of vegetables,
spread over it two tablespoonfuls Of
fat and place in the oven to roast.
turning and basting three times. Place
the steak on the platter. Heat two
tablespoonfuls of thick cream with a
fourth of cup of grated horseradish
Have three bananas peeled and sliced
lengthwise, dipped in flour and fried
Skim the fat from the baking pan,
thicken with flour and brown; strain
the gravy over the meat. spread the
horseradish sauce over the meat. set
the pieces of banana on the meat and
serve at once.
Cranberry surprise.-This is deli
cious ice to serve with turkey or
fowl Put little ice cream in sher-
bet cup and cover with a rich cram
berry sauce.
Chestnut cup.-This Is most
dainty and delicious frozen dish. Put
a few preserved chestnuts in the bot.
tom of a sherbet cup (these chestnuts
are preserved in a thick lemon sirup)
then add spoonful of vanilla ice
cream and garnish with a maraschino
cherry or a preserved chestnut. or
both.
Chocolate Temptation-Mold choco-
late ice cream, and when ready to
serve sprinkle with Drowned almonds;
garnish with whipped cream sprinkled
with blanched almonds.

OLD CITY IN DECAY
Bruges, in Belgium, Once Great
est Town in World.
Had 100000 Population Six Centuries
Aso-Was Next>to Venice In Conn
mercial Importsnee-Deserte
When Sea Cut Off Town.

Bruges, Belgium.-At the beginning
of the fourteenth century Bruges was
city of 100000 inhabitants. 1t was
not only the most important city in
Flanders, but next to Venice the
greatest trade center in the world.
Its harbor was filed with ships, and
its people were enormously wealthy.
Their homes were filed with every
luxury Their churches and public
buildings were beautiful, and the in
sides were decorated with precious
gems, beautiful windows and exquisite
carvings.
Art fourished as the town grew
richer, and it produced such painters
as Van Eyck and Hans Memlinc.
Then came an awful blight upon
the city. The zivijn, or chanenl,
which connected Bruges with the sea
became clogged up with sand and
mud. At first it was only the larg-
est ships that could not get past, but
gradually the sand became so high
that it formed a bank across the
zivijn and Bruges was cut off from
the sea. And with the loss of trade
the town became deserted and fell
into decay. The people that remain
ed behind became SO poor that aims
houses had to be stationed through
out the city and it fell upon the
church to support them. Even to.
this day out of the $1,000 inhabitants.
1t still retains, 1000 are paupers.
1t is a very sad old town and seems
to be in dreamy slumber from
which even the gayest sunshine can
not awaken it. It's brilliant glory has
faded, but a mellower beauty is left
that is still more poetic and alluring.
The belfry alone seems to have
lived through the past, and it rises
high in the market place like an old
mother watching her sleeping chill
dren. The belfry is the heart and
soul of Bruges. In olden days a
watchman was stationed here always
to signal the approach of enemies or
the breaking out of fire.
| In the square below the belfry
market is held. and here everything
can be bought from a piano to a
collar-button. In the corner Of the
market place is the famous chapel OF
the Holy Blood. In the under part of
the chapel are number of cold. damp
cells where the people go to pray.
In the upper chapel, which is very
gorgeously decorated, the relic Of the
