Creole Rules for Making soun.

Here are some rules that the old Creole
cooks give for soup making-and II you
have ever been in Louisiana you know
that their soup Is worth emulating:
To get the most goodness out of soup
bone II should be fractured every inch o.
its length The soup should never stop
cooking from the time it Is put on the
stove until 1t Is done, although II should
at no time boil furiously.
Once the soup Is started cooking, no
water should be added. as this spells the
flavor.
The soup bone should be put into cold
water and no salt should be added till
the soup is done, as the salt stops the
flow of the juices.
The soup should cook from fve to seven
hours at least
All spices used in the soup should be
put In whole-that is. whole black and
white peppers. cloves. bay leaves, cloves
or garlic, etc.
One quart Of water should be allowed
for every pound OF meat and bone, to
begin with. This is a rule Of the Creoles
but they make rich soup. II weaker soup
Is to be made, or II vegetables as well
as meat are used in the stock, the amount
of water can be increased.

NEW YORK
FASHION
LETTER
~
M4RH LA ROCQLE

We have come back to petticoats,
For several years petticoats have been
part of our negligee attire-and there
the use of the petticoat has ceased. Now
that full skirts are in fashion, so are
petticoats. And it is a literal fact that
the debutante of this winter has had
to be taught TO don a petticoat with her
frocks.
The new petticoats for wear with
frocks for afternoon and evening have
much of the charm of the lovely COM
binations of chiffon, crepe de chine, lace
and ribbons that we have been wearing
with our negligecs. They are a little
more substantial perhaps, little more
practical And, naturally, they are full
ler-at least at the line OF the ankle.
So far the new petticoats fit rather
snugly at the hips. They flare at the
lower edge most decidedly, and the far
and decorative effect.
For evening frocks of failIe. taffeta or
other rather stiff and heay silk, a tat
feta pettiCoat is much worn. Often il
is made with ruffle of lace. trimmed,
negligee fashion, with tiny bows and
flowers. Someties. for daytime wear, the
taffeta petticoat is trimmed with several
two-inCh pleatings of the silk, laid fat
on wide. circular lounce at the lower
edge of the skirt
From Palm Reach comes word that
one OF the sensations of the season is
the petticoats-fOr petticoats have so
long been out of fashion that they have
assumed the position of the unusual, and
about them clusters all the charm and
piquancy that always attaches to the
unusual in women's dress.
A rather interesting development Of
the tendency to wide, full skirts is the
new slash. Have you seen it? Perhaps
you never will see it, for it is not likely
