The terms 'iry" and ",aute' arc
confusing, yet are so entirely dit
ferent, that an explanation is due them
When the word sau,e is used IN de
scribing how food has been cooked
many people think it is a high brow
term for some method OF cooking
brought out by domestic science peo-
pie, Just to emphasize their knowledge
But there is no other word that ex-
presses the method of preparing foods
in this manner
Terms Explained.
To sau,e means to cook IN a small
amount OF fat. To fry. means to i'm
merse the food in deep fat We fry
doughnuts, croquctS. potato chips and
the like The fat is deep enough to
cook each article entirely, at the same
time
We Saute our meats, (unlcSS IT IS the
chicken and fish dipped in batter and
dropped in hot faO our potatoes usual
~ and all foods cooked in an iron
skillet
The difference is so positive, that
with discriminating people II nigh,
work havoc to say FRY" when we mean
"saute.' For that reason people trained
in food preparation are anxious TO
have the terms generally adapted.
Process the Same
For Wednesdays nights dinner we
had smothered round steak. This steak
has various names, as Swiss frcaSNc,
etc but the process is the same.
Round steak is purchased cut one
inch thick Flour is pounded into this
all it will take from both SIDES, with
several turnlngs. Sautc II m a skillet
in fat, hot enough to brown on both
sides, remove from the lire and when
cool. add warm water to illl the skillet
Cover with 4 close lid and simmer for
two to three hours. Add more water il
necessary. When ready 10 serve a
very fine gravy will have been made
Canned tomatoes with onions IN
place OF the water may be used, and
for most people improves the flavor.
Carrots Served Again
Carrots on account of their mex
penSivencsS and food value were served
again. but ,hiS time in combination
with peas and cheese sauce. The cheeSc
develops a fine flavor in the carrots
which make, them an attractive food

NEW PLAY JUST FITS:
LAURETTE TAYLOR
sharp Of Life" Woven Around
Mother Love, Has First
! Night at National.

The Harp Of Life" a new play by J.
Hartley Manners, written for Laurette
Taylor, was presented at the National
Theater last night with that star In the
leading role.
The theme Of the play centers about
one Of the greatest OF human tragedies
that time when a mother loses her lit
tle boy and finds In his stead a strange
man. who says and thinks for the first
time that mother won't understand"
Miss Taylor as the young mother Of a
nfneteen-year-old son imbues her i'm
personation with all OF those qualities
which distinguish mother love from
every other kind. Her work Is technic-
ally excellent; intelligently handled. and
delivered with a spontaneity which Ia
pleasing In the extreme.
The plot OF the play is quite simple
and prosaic. full OF trite and homely lit
ne touches, which accentuate ali the
more acutely the enormity of the trag :

which the mother has blessed him, has
only served to blind him to the real

has left him handicapped.
The first act shows the boy in his
home. and later. the effect on his

The second act shows his Homecoming.
and the revelation OF his engagement.
In the third act. which moves to the
apartments OF the Divorce. with his
mother and father present, he Is taught
by bitter experience that which shonld
have been explained to him by his
father.
The cast which supports Miss Taylor
Is adequate to the demands of this
