APPROPRIATE SAUCES.

A pudding is made or marred by the
may not seem 80 important on first
thought, but the blending Of havors
is as fine a point to consider as the
blending OF colors in a painting or in
garments to wear. The world is too
full of people like the woman who
had a great deal of taste. but 1t was
all bad
The French chef shows his artistic
sense In the manner which he blends
f1avors. 1t is an art, a science which
all cooks should cultivate, the art of
seasoning.
Few people know what to add to a
dish to give 1t its distinctive piquancy,
which 1t is so evidently lacking. Many
times 1t may be dash of salt or a
pinch of mace. a drop of vanilla. or
any number of things which the keen
sense of the trained cook at once
detects.
This wonderful art of seasoning
makes the difference in different peo-
pies dishes, some are so satisfying

are so fiat, stale and Improbable. al
though good material has been used
that much Is wasted.
Whipped cream is most delicious
sauce, which is very much abused and
is served in some homes on every va
riety Of pudding. If one considered a
moment the fitness of things it would
be most apparent that a rich pudding
should have sauce not so rich in fat.
For example sponge souffle, being
made of eggs and rather tasteless in
itself, needs a rich sauce of butter,
ereamed with powdered sugar, fla
vored and made foamy with whipped
cream. A rich suet pudding Is best
served with an egg sauce. thinned
with milk and favored as desired
The salad dressing is another i'm
portant point to consider. even the
simple French dressing, which one
would think might be made by an
amateur. is often ruined by too much
vinegar. One part of vinegar to two
of oil and often three of oil II Wor-
cestershire is used; bit of Ice helps
to blend the dressing. and salt and
cayenne must be added to taste.
In meat sauces a dash Of onion
juice, a touch of assafoetida, sus-
picion of garlic, will transform an
ordinary dish into what the French
call creation.

her did not convince me that the unnatural

me as being the prettiest girl had ever

a motor or from gazing at the exquisite like
