SOME OMELET RULES

omelets are difficult to make properly,
and only practice gives a cook the knack
of turning a perfect one. The French
cooks use no liquid in II and beat the
eggs only enough to break the yolks; on
this side of the Atlantic the custom is
to add water or milk, and many Ameri-
can cooks beat the whites to a stiff froth
and the yOlks to a foamy cream and mix
them together with a knife, just enough
to blend them.
Some cooks insist that water is better
than milk; some insist that water tough
ems the omelet and others insist that
milk makes it heavy. So the only way
to learn to make an omelet that is light,
of firm texture, substantial and yet in
no way suggestive of leather is to try
recipe after recipe and method after
method until perfection is attained.
1t is easier to make several small
omelets than one large one. 1t is diff
cult to handle a large one and its edges
usually burn before the middle part is
done.
Experience alone tells the cook when
to turn an omelet- If turned too soon
1t falls from its own weight. Some cooks
find Ii easier to slip it in the oven as
soon as il is set around the edges-pan
and all-until it purfs. Then they turn

assistant attends to all that.
What a comfort it is for mothers to
have such daughters. for nowhere is con-
sideratiOn more needed than in house
keeping, and the brunt of this important
service falls to the mother, if she does
not carry the whole load. So don't for
get the pointer. please. When mother is
well. knowing how to take her place
when necessary at home is comfort to
her heart. and If she falls sick and every
thing goes on in the regular way, every
service is more precious to her than
jewels.

round the manner to social perfection

family, and on small means at that must

But it is not the place of the daughter to
tell her where she lacks. She must give
mother the time to grow into these ways
with her. by putting her own hand to
the domestic helm sometimes. She must
make other people respect the mother br
showing how much she herself rever-
enCes and loves her.
But it is impossible to give examples cf

But putting down these few words in
the book of the heart would be better
still. especially if they are read and d.
gested every night to see if they have
had meaning during the day:
Respect
Obedience.
Tenderness.
Only three little words. three staunch
resolutions to keep watch and ward upon
the heart and the great thing is assured
mothers happiness.

they are actively or inactively cruel to
the mother, There can be only one moth

world boxes your ears and puts You in
the corner when you misbehave; the
governor of the home only cries or looks
at you with wistfuI silence when you
are too big to get the fine spanking that
would put You straight.
So begin the new life today with the
last word of my list. tenderness.
Buy the flower, give the dear kiss. the
