HOW TO USE PARSLEY
ITO VIVID GREEN NEEDED 70
cREsS COLD MEATS.
Hao q Rich Aroma That Gives the Ole.
tInctive Flavor TO- Sauces and
Other Herb Dishes.

The green, curling parsley fronds
In the garden are picked for dozen
purposes daily for the kitchen. When
the green things come in from the
garden nothing is better welcomed
than the bunch of fresh greenery for
garnishing culled from the parsley
bed.
Cold fish and cold meat, ham espe-
citlly, appear unfinished on their
dishes without the vivid dash of lovely
green that parsley bestows. When
the green is set between vivid Sec
tons Of scarlet tomato, the color
scheme of any cold dish is enhanced.
Many cooks also set the bright yell
low OF egg yolk and the pure white
ness OF its envelope Of albumen here
and there between the green and scar

will be fully satisfied. This is be-
cause that brilliant green is really a
compound of blue and yellow lights
Withdrawn from the sunlight. These
two primary colors need the red to
complete the harmony of the trinity
Of hues. The gold Of the egg yolk
is also primary; the purity Of the
egg white. rejecting all hues, aids the
three primaries to shine forth in all
their brilliance. Truly, parsley. toma-
to and egg can form q vivid color
symphony on any dish.
The rich aroma of the parsley is
due to it's plentiful volatile oil, st;rng
as any essence. that permeates the
curling fronds. 1t is this oil that gives
the distinctive flavor to all parsley
sauces and all things cooked with the

Parsley, a rock plant originally, with
the rock name still attached to it,
had the old idea of the ancient curse
transferred to it. 1t is one Of the

to her.
The window overlooking the porch

imprisoned his neck. One arm was
reached through. striving to reach a
pistol that had fallen from his hand
and rolled over near the dresser.

iuprison him. Upon table lay the
handbag and her diamond sunburst
pis. There, too. were the silver scis-

not leave the room--the burglar
might release himself. Her eyes fell
upon a toy telephone apparatus near

the Dean home. Robert had rugged

to hail each other when they liked.
