COOKED IN NEW WAYS

ARATIoN OF CHICKEN.
VIII Be Found Pleasant Change From
the Generally Accepted Methods
Most Delicious Served With As
paraeus-SpeciAl Stew.

Chicken, Waldorf Style.-Boi
chicken until it is tender; take 1t
from the fire and remove all white
meat, which cut into small dice-shaped
pieces, adding two truffles, cut in the
same way. Put the mixture into
saucepan with pint of fresh thick
cream, season with salt and pepper
and allow to boil for twelve minutes,
then thicken with two raw egg yolks

break off the tender parts, wash them
we'll in sailed water, boil slightly in
more salt water, and drain. Put a
lump of butter and one tablespoonful
Of cream into a saucepan over a slow
fire, place half the asparagus on top,
dust with pepper, and then arrange
the pieces of chicken over It; cover
with the remainder of the asparagus
and put a few pieces Of butter on top.
Pour over all one breakfast cupful of
cream and stew gently till done. Turn
the whole out into dish, garnish with
croutons of fried bread and serve.
Stewed Chicken, Matelote.-Singe

GOOD FOR AFTERNOON TEA
Dainty Chocolate Cake That Has the
Endorsement of the Best French
Cooks.

A little French chocolate cake
which comes from a New Orleans
cook makes a delightful afternoon tea
cake. 1t is called "petits choux au
chocolat." Put quarter of pint of
hot water in small saucepan with
two ounces Of butter and one of sugar.
When this boils add gradually two
ounces and a half of finely sifted -four
and stir quickly until the mixture is
quite stiff.
Take the saucepan from the fire
and stir the contents for about ten
minutes, then add two eggs. one at
time. Beat the mixture up with a
wooden spoon and put 1t aside to cool.
Butter a baking sheet, lay the paste
on it with teaspoon in small round
balls, plum size. Bake about twenty
minutes in a moderate oven. When
cold make an incision in the side OF
each and fill with whipped cream
favored with vanilla. Before serving
glaze each separately with chocolate
icing.

WATER MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Use of Hard or Soft Is Something for
Serious Consideration When
Cooking Is in Order.

All cooks do not understand the diff
ferent effects produced by hard and
soft water in cooking meat and veg
etables. Peas and beans cooked In
hard water, containing lime or gyp-
sum, will not boil tender, because
these substances harden vegetable
casein. Many vegetables, as onions
boil nearly tasteless in soft water, be-
cause all the flavor is boiled out. The
addition of salt often checks this, as
in the case of onions, causing the
vegetables to retain their peculiar
fiavoring principles, besides such nu-
tritious matter as might be lost in soft
water. For extracting the juice OF
meat to make a broth or soup, soft
water, unsalted, and cold at first, Is
the best, for it much more readily
penetrates the tissue, but for boiling,
where the juices should be retained,
hard water, or soft water salted, Is
preferable. The meat should be put
in while the water is boiling, so as to
seal up the pores at once.
II you are In doubt about the wa
ter the common test is soap. Hard
water will not make a suds freely,
while soft water will. Once acquaint-
ed with the nature of the cooking wa
ter, you can govern yourself accord
ingly in cooking.

cold NIaht for eomnambuIIst.

1t was cold, SO cold. In fact, that
heavy oyercoat felt comfortable. A
keen wind kept pedestrians at quick
pace. The hour was 10:30. Massa-
chusetts avenue was brilliantly lighted
and crowded.
Suddenly a strange figure appeared
at a stairway door just above New
Jersey street and stopped moment.
Then, as II it had been determined
that a walk downtown would be re-
treshing at that hour Of the night, the
figure. with measured ttread, began
the journey. 1t passed under the light
at New Jersey street and Masachu-
setts avenue, paused a second, and
then continued to walk. A young at
torney across the street saw the figt
ure. and exclaimed: well. I'll be
darned"
Other persons watched the figure.

How to Cook Lamb Kidneys.

Just before serving. cut open the fat
carefully and remove the kidney; and

all the strong flavor that they usually
have.

Dents on Furniture.

When furniture becomes dented, the
following is very good: First damp

cover with several thicknesses- of wet

close to the paper, not actually touch
ing, until all the moisture is absorb
ed. This quite effectively removes all
dents and gives very good results.
