Bacon fat has many uses. OF a Jar OF bacon
containing nine ounces net, three ounces only
would be served as crisp bacon. Some water
evaporates in the cooking, so that about five
ounces liquid fat will be left Turn this back

CAFE AU FEU.

From New Orleans cafe comes this de-
lightful way Of serving coffee. The entire
rind Of an orange is used as cup by the
simple process of dividing the aforesaid rlne
with sharp knife and turning back the low
er half to form a standard for the upper half,
which is the cup proper
The orange itself remains between the two
uniting them. The cups are filed with boiling
hot coffee. the strong black variety. such as
they Of New Orleans love. 1t is sweetened
with lump OF sugar stepped in cognae.
A match, applied TO each cup before serv-
ing. igntes the brandy and the fame is
ouickened by the oil OF the orange skin. An
attractive sight is trayful Of these burning
cups. Each orange is placed on plate or
saucer; silver service adds TO the picturesque
ness OF the tout ensemble; and although the
directions do not so state, the effect IS even
more complete if the cafe az feu IS served out
on the terrace or in a rather low lighted room
after the dinner.

In purchasing a porterhouse steak, at the
present high price, the housekeeper must re-
member that the coarse, or tag" as 1t is some
times called, costs exactly the same as the
tender portion; and as this is rarely eaten, if
broiled, il will be found the most economical
plan TO cut it of before cooking and either
grind it through the meat chopper for Ham
burg steak or use it as the basis of beef loaf
or savory meat and vegetable stew.
For the stew, cut the steak into small pieces.
Scar the beef over quickly in a little hot beef
dripping and add boiling water to cover with
two diced carrots, half can OF tomatoes and
a sliced onion. Bring to the boiling point,
cover the saucepan closely and simmer very
slowly until the meat is tender. Always cook
the potatoes separate in making stew and add
them when cooked with the thickening made
from a tablespoonful OF -four mixed 20 paste
with cold water Seasoning, OF course, de-
pends upon the individual taste, although
Worcestershire sauce salt celery salt and pap
rika are excellent.
Perhaps cold beefsteak is among the most
unpromising left overs" that the housekeeper
has 10 contend with, only one thing being more
trying, and that is the cold mutton chop But
if the steak Is thick and rare il can be cut
into thin strips with a sharp knife and served
like cold roast beef, accompanied by tasty
pickle and delicately favored potato salad

rice, instead, in very much more water than

IF something being creamcd is allowed to
burn slightly or scorch, it can be used,
if the following suggestion is carefully
followed: The utensil should be placed i'm
mediately into pan Of cold water, and the
contents then carefully spooned or poured
out leaving the burned part adhering to the
bottom OF the kettle. By placing the hot
utensils promptly into the cold water the
burned favor is almost wholly drawn out.
To avoid the smell of frying bacon let it
simmer for few minutes in little water
before frying. The odor OF burning grease
will be mpercepdble.
