Undoubtedly the onion is the old
est vegetable known to mankind.
Seven thousand years have passed
since the building of the first pyra-
mid, and even then Egypt was an old
country and its people were civilized.
Ten thousand years ago the onion
was brought into Egypt from India.
History can tell us no more. The
sacred writings of the Hindoos and
the oldest record of the Chinese men
ton the onion as a cultivated plant
always cultivated.
In the Hindu Kush mountains is
said by some to be the birthplace Of
mankind-we find the album cepa,
from which have sprung all the onions
grown over the world.
Both Pliny and Juvenal, among the
old writer's, and many Psychologists
of our own time and country have
recorded that the ancient Egyptians
worshipped the onion; it was adj
mitted as a common offering on every
altar and the priests were forbidden
to eat it.
Herodotus tells us that garlic was
the daily food of the Egyptian la
borer. and the Jews when they left
Egypt looked back with fondness to
these delicacies. I'VE remember the
fish which we did eat freely in Egypt,
the cucumbers and the melons and
the leeks, and the onions and garlic"
SO they told Moses.
The Mohammedans, however, do
not seem to reverence the album
tribe; on the contrary, they have a
tradition that when Satan stepped
out of the Garden of Eden after. the
fall of man. garlic sprang up where
he planted his left foot and onions
where he placed his right foot This
is the reason why Mohammed could
never bear the smell of either, and
even tainted when he saw them.
About the only luncheon in their
own countries of the German, italian
or the Spanish laborer today is black
bread with an onion, and in smany
parts of Italy it is almost the only
vegetable in common use, being eaten
as we do apples.
Our New England ancestors thought
a great deal of onions, and no Thanks
giving dinner or other holiday feast
was complete without dish of them
boiled. While this is, perhaps, the
simplest was of cooking this succu-
lent vegetable, like all other simple
culinary fears, it must be done per-
feetly.
Although the onion is the most
mallgned of vegetables, even being
associated with vulgarity, it is, never
theless, a valuable food, and is held in
high favor by the culinary artist.
If the food we eat furnishes the
chemical elements necessary to insure
a sound body, the onion must rank
first among vegetables for its health
giving constituents. including nitro
gen, potash, phosphoric acid, phos-
phate of lime, sulphur. albumin,
sugar, musilage and certain salts.
Onions are almost the best nervine
known. No medicine, it is claimed,
is so useful in cases of nervous pros
tration. and there is nothing else that
will relieve so quickly and tone up a
wornout system. Onions are helpful

stuffing: Chop up fine four ounces of
ham or tongue, add grated bread,
some melted butter, one or two table,
spoonfuls of cream, a little salt and
pepper. Mix well into paste, and fill
the centre of the onions with it; then
put them into a frying pan, sprinkle
with butter and grated bread, and
cook with fire above and below--or in
the oven... Just before serving pour
ALA Parma sauce over them, made as
follows Melt half a pound of butter.
add a little flour, salt. pepper and
grated nutmeg; stir until thick. Then
stir in one pint of cream and little
chopped parsley. Heat for five min
utes.
Onions In Cider.
Boil three quarters of pound of
small whtte onions; put them into a
saucepan with two ounces of butter
and little flour, and cook till they
turn a good color. Add about a quar-
ter or half pint of white cider, and
before they have finished cooking sea-
son with pepper and grated nutmeg.
When the liquid is reduced serve at
once. The onions can also be put into
the oven, sprinkled with Parmesan
cheese and melted butter and
Drowned.
Boiled Onions.
Peel the onions and put them into
warm, sailed water, bringing quickly
to boiling point. AS soon as they
are tender drain quickly and cover
with a slightly thickened cream
dressing, made of half milk and half
cream, to which a piece of butter is
added and sailed to taste. When this
comes to a boil stir in a tablespoonful
of flour, to which two tablespoonful
of water have been added. Turn
this over the onions and serve imme-
diately or they will quickly become
dark and soggy.
Onion Dressing.
The old-fashioned onion dressing.
or stufflng, as 1t was called by our
Puritan ancestors, is made by using
one loaf of bread, upon which hot
water has been turned and then
squeezed quite dry in the hands,
Add half cup of butter, one onion
the size of an egg chopped fine, a
teaspoonful of finely ground sage,
half teaspoonful of salt and half a
teaspoonful of black pepper. This is
the famous dressing used by New
England cooks for stuffing turkey or
goose, breast of veal, beef heart OF
spare ribs.
Broiled Onions.
While fried onions are considered
toothsome dish by many, they are
not particularly healthful, but
broiled onions, served with beefsteak
or calves liver, are enjoyed by every
one who eats them at all. For this
purpose the Bermudas or Spanish
are best. Cut them in slices, and aft
er rubbing the broiler with little
olive. oil, lay each slice carefully or
the broiler and cook under a slow
flame, If. as most housekeepers dc
nowadays, you use gas. WhS<
Drowned on one side turn over and re.
peat the process. Serve Immediately
with a melted butter sauce, in which
there is little chopped parsley. This
dish can also be garnished with pars
ley, and a steak with row of white
onion slices around and bits of thu
green between makes a dish that Ii
pleasant to the eye. if not fragraE'
to everyones nostrils.

Armlets for Baby

Years and years ago-away back in
the sixties and seventies-all the self
respecting infants wore lsw-necked
and short -sleeved frocks and the
shoulder straps were kept from slip
ping down over little arms by arm
let's. sometimes made of ribbon, some
times of coral or pearl beads. After
.wo generations babies are again en-
Toying the luxury of sleeveless frocks
and back to fashion in orderly
sequence has returned the quaint
Mmlet The modern armlets, how
ever. are not made of coral beads, but
are delicate little straps of lace or
finest machine embroidery trimmed
with lace rosettes centered by tink
silk roses. The armlet fastens with
q loop and pearl button, and may be
slipped on or off very easily.

Strawberry Cocktail

The word 'cocktair' has crept into
our bills of fare to indicate fruit
mixture served before the soup at
formal luncheon or dinner. No liquor
is necessary to make a dainty appe-
tizer of this kind.
Use individual punch glasses. Into
each one slice five or six strawber-
ries. cover with the juice of an or
ange. sprinkle with powdered sugar
and at the last minute add a table
spoonful of shaved ice. Set In place
at each cover on a serving plate be-
fore announcing the meal.

HINTS FOR HOME BAKING

Lard is much better to grease cake
pans than butter. Butter will burn
and cause the cakes to stick and
char.
Homemade cakes will be nicer if
the flour is put in last.
Brush the lower crust of pie over
with the white of an egg. This pre-
vents the juice from soaking
through.
Dry cake may be used for bread
pudding in place of the bread.
Apple pies baked without bottom
crust are delicious.
