Perhaps no more instructive object

silent but eloquent testimony to the

like letter writing to bring out many
things that would remain hidden from
the beloved in ordinary conversation.
There may be many things hidden in
your own self that you do not suspect.
People who have become thoroughly
familiar with each other sometimes
become lazy about expressing them
selves when they are together. A
few commonplaces, a hand-clasp,
glance-these often suffice. But In the
letter one must express himself, and
much better and more clearly than
when there is expression of the face

SOME CASSEROLE DISHES.

The casserole may be a simple dish
IF brown crockery, with a cover, or a
more elaborate white, fired, silver

not look quite so well as a serving

An attractively laid table, well.sea-
soned food and hot dishes hot, cold
dishes cold, will further induce diges-

minor things, but are really OF a good

In closely covered casserole. Serve
on the table in the casserole. The
aice thing about casserole cookery is
that the meat and vegetables are all
together in one dish, less meat may

Another important point to be noted
IN casserole cookery, is that tough
meat may be used and made palatable
by long, slow cookery. The meat
must be cut In serving-sized pieces.
