The Ever Useful casssroIs.

Cold roast lamb, beef, veal, chicken,
kidneys, etc. may be warmed up in the
casserole. Heat any gravy that is left
over to almost boiling point and then
put in slices Of lamb or beef and let
them get warmed through. Do not
cook them
In the absence Of gravy a rich beef
juice could be used. For boiled or fric-
asseed chicken have ready some boiled
rice and put this first in the casserole.
Take on the skin Of the chicken and
bone 1t, place the bits on top Of the
rice. pour over gravy or bits OF butter,
add seasoning II needed and a dust Of
curry powder.
Then cover the casserole and let the
rice and chicken heat to the cooking
point When heating the lamb and
beef slices the casserole must not be

Cookery
Polnts
Some Delicious Pursss.

A puree may be either an accompani-
ment to meat or form the foundation
Of a substantial soup. Whatever vege-
table Il turned into a puree must hrst
be well boiled, then passed through a
sieve, a work demanding patience, 1t Is
true. The puree will then have a little
butter and seasoning added to it, cream
or the yolks Of eggs or some gravy
sauce, according to what meat it ac-
companies.
A puree Of chestnuts accompanies
veal or poultry and requires the add
don Of a little thiek cream. A PURGE
Of white haricot beans accompanies
roast mutton
A puree OF sorrel or spinach or both
combined IL really incest when served
without meat and placed in individual
cocottes or in shells OF fried bread.
After passing the spinach, etc. through
the sieve It IL beaten up with a little
butter and cream and literally sea
soned. 1t should not be boiled more
than Just enough TO cook It tender. and
then It will keep its color and flavor.
Marrows, turnips, artichokes and
pumpkins all make delicious purees,
sweet or savory. Another delicious
puree Of small white onions and new
potatoes makes a dainty dish II sufii-
cient cream Is added and the mixture
Is put into small china dishes and
Drowned on top.
The Durae destined for serving alone
or as an accompaniment to meat must
be kept thick, yet smooth. The puree
that forms the foundation OF a soup IS
heightened out to make a sufficient
quantity by adding to 1t meat or vege-
table stock and milk or cream or yolk
Of eggs. etc. The eggs and cream
should not be put in until after the
puree Is cooked and taken from the
fire

QUEEN MARIE OF RoUMAx1A.

Queen Marie, wife Of King Ferdf
nand Of Roumania, who has recently
succeeded his uncle, the late King
Charles, on the throne Of that beauti
full little kingdom in the Balkans, IS
said to be one Of the handSOmest wO-
men in Europe. Her father, the late
Duke Alfred Of Saxe-Coburg- Gotha,
was q son of Queen Victoria Of Eng
land her mother was a Russian
grand duchess, the aunt Of the present
car. Duke Alfred had one son. who
died just a year before him. but he had
FIVE daughters, whose beauty and clev-
erness made them the toast OF every
court Of Europe. Strange to say, none
of them made particularly brilliant
matches. The eldest, Princess Marie
Alexandra Victoria, who was born in
1875, married the. crown prince, now
King Ferdinand, of Roumania in 1898.
She is the mother of two sons and
three daughters. One Of her sisters
married the Grand Duke Cyril of Rus
STA after divorcing the Grand Duke Of
Hesse, brother of the czarina. Anoth-
er sister welded the Prince Of Hohen-
lohe-Langenberg. while the third is the
wife Of the Infante Alfonso Of Or
leans.
Queen Marie. while neither so bril-
liant nor beloved as her predecessor,
Queen Elizabeth Carmen SyIvaL is a
woman of great taste and kindness of
heart She has done much to encOur-
age interest in the artistic work Of
Roumanian women. wearing their love
ly embroideries herself and persuading
her royal relatives to exploit them.

CANNING Chicken.

For quick lunches, unexpected guests
and many occasions when she might
not be prepared with needed food an
enterprising housewife cans chicken
each year, when the fowls are young,
tender and wholesome. She cuts the
chickens as for frying and stews until
tender enough to slip on the bones.
She packs glass jars which have been
sterilized and are boiling hot with the
chicken, fills up with the hot broth.
then seals. Chicken canned in this
way is delicious for salad, sandwiches,
chicken pie. croquets, or may be used
in any Of the other many ways in
which chicken Is served The broth

cooked down and jeIlied for many 9th

WHY POPCORN POPS.

Why popcorn pops is not fully un-
derstood- Formerly it was supposed
that the popping resulted from the ex-
pansIon OF oil in the kernel on being
heated, but more probably 1t Is due to
the expansion OF moisture contained
IN the starch cells. The moisture ex-
pands when heated with sufficient
force to cause an explosion Of the cells,
and the kernel turns completely inside
