HAVE YOU CULTIVATED
A TASTE FOR SNAILS?
0ld-time French Dainty Now Found
in Markets and Is in Grow
ing Demand.

The taste for snails as food is said
to be increasing in this country. You
can buy them in the large cities both
home grown and imported. The methods
OF cooking vary. You can stew them in
milk. or you may dress them with white
wine. A popular way is to bring the long
black gelatinous and horned things on
the table very hot and swimming In a
sauce OF olive oil. onions and garlic.
Then you spear them with a three-prong-
ed fork and enjoy the sweet ecstasy
which the friends of the snail profess.
One OF the recipes for cooking snaIls
is indicated by the verse of Edmund
Spencer. which runs:
With our sharp weapons we shall thee
And take the cas- till that thou liest In,
We shal thee hay out OF thy foule skin,
And in a dish, with onyons and pepper,
We shal thee dresse with strony vyne-
gare.
II you have never eaten snails, and
the majority Of persons who will read
this have not, IT is difficult to compre-
bend what the snail tastes like. II is
difficult, II not impossible, to describe a
flavor or a scent without comparison to
to whom one would transmit the infor-
nation. and II is said by an authority on
srails that they have an original kin1
of flavor, not In the least like anything
else. To be at his best the snail should
be young and in vigorous and robust
health. II improperly cooked he will he
tough; II properly cooked he will be
tender.
Snail culture in France is profitable
A single snail can produce sixty little
snails In a season. but birds like them,
frost kills them and some may run, or
crawl. away. French newspaper re-
Gently published the information that
half million first quality snails. the
price of which averages about $40 per
thousand, can be produced on an acre
Of land II is necessary to feed them
only once a day. but they have good ap-
petites. especially after a rain. for cab
bage and other green vegetables.

USING ORANGES.

Oranges should be one Of the most
economical OF all winter luxuries. There
are dozens Of different ways in which
they can be prepared for dessert When
they are Juicy and sweet and big. they
can be sliced and chilled and served with
macaroons and lady fingers or some other
simple cake. When they are small and
sour they can be diced and mixed with
diced banana pulp and served in sherbet
cups. slightly sweetcned. The Juice Of
seedy oranges or those that are very
small can be used for fiavoring various
desserts and It can be used for various
refreshing beverages.
Here are a few recipes for simple des-
serts calling for oranges:
Orange Charlotte: Squeeze the juice OF
a lemon over a cupful OF sugar and add
a cupful OF orange juice and a teaspoon
full Of the grated peel Soak half box
full OF gelatine in a little cold water anil
dissolve IL in boiling water and add II
to the orange mixture. When the whole
begins to set fold in the stiffly beaten
whites Of four eggs. Line a mold or
bowl with sections Of orange or lady
fingers and pour in the gelatine mixture.
Chill and serve with custard made with
two OF the yoIks OF egg. The other two
can be used for mayonnaIse.
Orange Cake: Cream half a cupful OF
butter and beat in two cUpfuls Of sugar.
Then add well-beaten egg yolks and one
white. The original recipe calls for half
a dozen yolks. New, when eggs are high
this number may not be available, al
though II the whites are beaten, sweet
ened and favored with grape juice or
prune pulp and used for a whip for des-
sert. the eggs can be used economically
Or else a white cake may be made Of
the whites. However. our egg yolks
would do, and the only objection to this
smaller number would be that the cake
would not be SO yellow. Then add tho
grated rind and the Juice Of an orange,
half a cupful OF milk, and four cupfuls
OF -four sifted with a teaspoonful Of bak-
ing powder. Bake in a fiat cake ard
sprinkle with sugar and cut in squares.
Orange Cream: This is an easily made
dessert and IS very delicious. Mix the
grated rind. pulp and Juice of half a

four eggs. whites and yoIks beaten sep
arately. Strain through a fine sieve and

There are several between-seasOn lulIs
every year when fresh fruits are not at
their best. In the late autumn there is
a period wheH peaches. grapes, and pears
have passed their prime and oranges.
grapefruit. apples, and nuts have not yet
reached theirs Then the housekeeper
and cook must put their wits to work
to give their menus fiavors. Preserved
ginger helps solve the problem, so far as
desserts are concerned.
Ginger cream is one of the good things
to make with this candied fruit. The
ingredients needed for Il are cupful OF
milk and a cupful of cream, half an
ounce of gelatine. the yolks of three
eggs, two ounces Of sugar. a little lemon
jelly. two ounces of candied or pre-
served ginger. some diced candied fruits,
and half a gill of ginger syrup.
If you use preserved ginger drain off
the liquid in which it is preserved. II
you use candied ginger soak it for half
an hour in just enough water TO cover
it, and then simmer it gently for fifteen
minutes. Drain and use this syrup and
use the drained ginger where candied
or preserved ginger is called for.
Melt the jelly and pour it with the
Candied fruits in the bottom of a mold.
Tip the mold from side to side until the
jelly haTdens, so that the ginger will be
held in place evenly over the bottom of
the mold. Heat the milk in a double
boiler and pour it slowly over the egg
yolks, beaten.
Then thicken this custard in the
double boiler. Remove II from the fire
and add the sugar and the geletine. dis
solved in tho ginger syrup. Cool IL.
Whip the cupful of cream, add the gin
ger. cut in small pieces, and stand il
aside until it is almost set. Then pour
it in the mold and let it harden. Serve

cream is this: Whip a cupful of cream,
add the juice from half lemon and the
syrup from four ounces OF preserved
ginger. Mix this and then add two
ounces OF granulated sugar and four
ounces of preserved ginger, cut in small
dice. Pile it in long-stemmed cups and
serve at once.

mept it is done. To make it, boil half

tato flour. an ounce of sugar and an

Margaret Bottome is we'll known to
every one of the 5000 members of the
International Order of Kings Daughters
and Sons. She was born in Brooklyn in
1877, and as the daughter of a public
spirited philanthrOpist and physician she
spent much time as a young girl in ac-
companyinG him to the homes of the poor
and afflicted. This greatly stimulated
her naturally religious and charitable ma
tUre. and her great interest as a young
woman was in work among the aims
houses and prisons of the city. When
she was twenty-three she married the
Rev. Frank Bottome, and with him she
continued the good work that she had
previously done with her father. Soon
after her marriage she began a series
of Bible talks in the homes of New York
society women, and these she continued
without interruption for twenty-five
years.
1t was on January 15, 1856, just after
her ffty-ninth birthday. that the first
ten" of Kings Daughters was organ

and first president.
This organization has been very sue

A Question Of Backs.

You can always tell a French woman
by her back.
This is a statement that has been made
by those who closely observe feminine
characteristics.
Not only French women can be told
by their graceful backs, but cultivated
European women in general may be told
at a giance-as they pass through the
streets, at the theater. at the reception
by the manner in which they carry their
backs
The European woman has a back that
is straight, erect and. at the same time,
graceful. The debutante slOuch has
worked havoc with the carriage OF many
Of our American women. To notice this
curved, crooked backs you see some
time when you are in a gathering Of
wonderland this often among those who
have every opportunity to cultivate
beauty and grace of carriage.
And speaking OF curved backs, and
the "debutante slouch' or ''ingenue
droop," or whatever you choose to call
the prevailing carriage, did you see this
posture as interpreted by the Yale men
at their dramatics yesterday? 1t was,
Of course, purposely much exaggerated.
1t was the college mems humorous inter
probation Of the absurd mode Of carriage
affected by the majority of young Ameri-
can girls lately.
The tall heroine in the first OF the
plays, Stephen Leacock's Behind the
Beyond" was a master of IT. The droop
of the shoulders, the convex chest. the
forward SLOUGH of the arms, the crouch
cd knees-all these characteristic of the
debutante SLOUGH, he reproduced to a
kings taste.
Let us hope that some of the young
debutantes who saw and laughed over
this delightful satire will be among the
first to set a new fashion in posture -
