THE PHILOSOPHY OF COOKING
by
Some2O Century

Think what a shock the graduating
classes Of Pratt and Teachers College
and Cornell could give him!
He was about two-thrds right-as
he usually Is found to be, when your
wrath has cooled down and cold rea-
son holds its sway.
Science and Philosophy should be the
landmarks of cookery. They are, when
housekeeping becomes trained profess
sion instead of an intuitional make
shift. The Chemistry of Cooking turns
1t from a work of blind drudgery into
inspiring scientific research that con-
tributes to the health and pleasure Of
all mankind.
Srfragists will please take notice
that Mrs. Classes Cookery" being the
best work available on the subject,
must needs have been written by man
and, on the other hand, containing
scientific errors as it did, such could
hardly have been the easel
One pities these modest men trans
fixed on the horns of such dilemma.
Nevertheless, there is much to learn
from them.
Old DR.. Johnson was about a century
aheed of his times. We are only just
catching up with him. A. l.. p.

Mayonnaise is an uncertain quantity
Every housewife knows how many
times a curding mass has resulted in
stead Of the delicate, creamy emulsion
so anxiously sought. But there is no
need to fear curdled mayonnaise when
the S. & s. Beaten No. is used. In
fact, it is possible to prepare perfect
mayonnaise while reading, or doine
something else that holds the atten-
ton while leaving the hands free to
do their work automatically. The lit
tie cup controls the flow Of oil so per-
fectly that there is no danger OF ad-
ding too much of this often over-used
ingredient, or Of letting it run in toe
fast-which is fatal to good mayor
naise.
This beaten may also be used for
whipping cream, beating eggs and
churning of q small amount of the
fresh butter, which is so delicious to
serve at afternoon tea.
The machine consists of specially
shaped glass bowl and cover, with n

What points should be considered when
purchasing a vacuum cleaner?
Mrs. F. G. h. Chicago. III.
The life of an electric vacuum cleaner
is in the motor. and its serviceability
and durability depend upon the care
given this part. Vacuum cleaners have
the motor either horizontally or verti-
cally mounted. The latter type has
the weight supported on one bearing,
while with the horizontal motor this
weight is distributed over two bearings,
for which reason it is mechanically
stronger in construction and durability.
Especially is this true with the small
suction cleaners in which the motor re-
wolves at a high speed.
For the average housekeeper it is
difficult to judge of the power de-
veloped and the cleaning efficiency Of
the machine from a demonstration, as
such demonstrations are planned to
show up only the good points of the
cleaner. Therefore, the prospective
purchaser will have to be content to
select upon the motor mounting. the
general construction Of the machine,
its convenience. ease Of operation and
apparent cleaning results.

Is there any way OF keeping Hamburg
tteak from being dry and embarrassing?
J. b.. Pittshed. Mass.
So many housewives have contended
with the problem of making this
nourishing but rather characterless
dish savory enough to become popular
with the family. that we have begun
experimenting with methods Of liven-
ing IL up. so 10 speak.
We have found out that Hamburg
steak should always be ground coarse
ly, and as much water added as the
steak will hold. The seasoning Of
Hamburg steak is Of Importance. Use
plenty Of salt and pepper, and perhaps
a little poultry seasoning, and then
form into cakes. Chopped green pep
pers. or onions. or perhaps both, some
times add needed touch.
Another way of preparing the steak
is TO season it lightly and serve with
either a brown sauce TO which tomatoes
or onions have been added. or with a
tomato sauce. The latter adds touch
Of color.

X ENERALLY speaking. in the av-
erage home the luncheon is the
light meal Of the day, and many
housekeepers feel that, with an appetiz-
ing breakfast and dinner arranged for,
they have done their duty and that the
midday meal may, strictly speaking, be
pickup" one.
In many instances this is due TO the
fact that the men Of the family are alb
sent at the Office or shop. Women sell
dom cook for themselves. Also, il the
proper food values are observed and
the meal is nourishng, it is best to
keep it simple in character. Simplicity
does not mean curtailment Of we'll
balanced rations, but rather dainty,
easily digested edibles that do not con-
sumo too long time in their prepare
ton.
The luncheon menus for the coming
week have been planned with this
thought in mind, and they have been
about equally divided with the break
fasts as a means Of utilizing the left
overs" from the previous day.

Water ices are made by squeezing

powder that has been dissolved in a
little cold water When all is melted

A frappe, properly speaking, is a
sweetened mixture filled with shaved
ice and set in salt and ice few min

bets and parfaits are first cousins, and
are simply rich, light and nearly froz-
en- creams Mousses are little more
difficult to make. or rather to freeze in
just the proper way, than the usual
creams. but when they are perfectly
made and frozen they have the peculiar
texture of "snow ice cream" known
and loved by children of every genera
ton.
Grape Sherbet.
To one pound OF sugar add two pints
of water and boil ten minutes; then
add the juice Of leNon and two cups
of fresh grape juice. Dissolve a table
spoon ami half Of gelatine powder in

the mixture. When all is thoroughly
melted and mixed cool and strain into

with a spoonful of whipped cream on

grape is placed.

Hawkes. French Dressing Bottle.
Made by T. G.. Hawkes. & Co., Corning,


No two people agree as to the proper
method OF making French dressing.
Some think that the oil should be
poured on the salad first, others that
the vinegar should first be used. But
the best way is to make a perfect
emulsion, and mix this thoroughly
with the salad. Such a French dress
ing can be made on the table perfect
ly by shaking the mixture in the
Hawkes. French Dressing Bottle. This
shaking method of mixing does away
entirely with the necessity of beating
the dressing. The result is just as
good and it is all ready to be used.
The Hawkes. Mixing Bottle is made
of a high grade of glass, with glass
stopper. The words vinegar and
COLL marked on The bottle with meas
uring lines, indicate the proper pro-
portions of each of these two in
gradients. Prices, 81 to So.

SERIES OF ENJOYABLE
 SOCIAL AFFAIRS

Mrs. Tom Rees and Mrs. Harlow Yeager gave a series of enjoyable afternoon events last week at the home of Mrs. Rees. On each of the three occasions the same decorative scheme was carried, out in apple blos- sons and Dorothy Perkins roses. At the initial affair on Thursday the hostesses entertained eight tables of bridge and after enjoying the games, dainty lunch was served-each guest receiving a fragrant floral favor. Following, on Friday a thim- ble party was given which proved one of the charming informal events of the spring. On Saturday bridge was again indulged in-this affair being largely complimentary to the teach CTS of both Normal and public schools. The guest list included over a hun dred ladies and the delightful series deemed one of the most elaborate and successful of the season.
