A wELL-TRAINED FAMILY.

And even this habit had to be strengthened
by constant watchfulness on my part till right
habits were formed. 1t was Line upon line,
precept upon precept, here a little and there

trained adds greatly to the family comfort and

One large trunk suffices for good sized family.

A peculiar lettuce, fantastically headed up,
has an unpronounceable name and an unhappy
taste; it is used by the natives to boil with
dried fish. The sweet picked onions are justly
famous, for they are better than anything OF
the kind we can find in America. Tulip and lily
bulbs, pared and eaten with garlic and salt,
make a popular Chinese appetizer. They are
also added to special brown sauce for meat,
but it is safe to say that after taste most
Americans would rather leave the bulbs with
nature and enjoy the blossoms.

MARKETING ETIQUETTE.
1t is perfectly safe for woman to go MAJ
keting in Chinatown, and the experience Is
novel, for the children of Chinatown alone are
worth trip to see.
But remember, if you go marketing in China
town you lose caste-according to Chinese
ethics!
No number one American LADY, should DO
her own marketing, but send her grocery order
by her cook. To go to market herself is TO
fall to number two American lady" For
her to 20 to market in China would be still
greater breach, for there the mistress is sup
posed to enter her kitchen but once month
to see that her sanitary rules are being lived
up to, and incidentally, attend the burning Of
dishcloths, which Cinnamon refuse to wash.
But, regardless of caste, the American
woman insists upon "clean chow" If to secure
it she must go to market herself she will, heed
less of the mythical stigma Of custom or tho
fact that she cannot vote.

NNE of the favorite dishes "over the
Bombay side" is chicken mutton
curry, which is invariably made much
hotter than could be endured in temperate
climate
The effect Of the East Indian climate upon Eu-
ropeans is partially evidenced in the proverbial
craving of the Anglo-Indan for dishes that, &C
cording to more temperate tastes, would be
tolerable only to interior lined with asbestos.
Therefore. these old East Indian recipes, which
were brought to America thirty years ago by
the wife of officer in the civil service then
furlough, have been adapted somewhat TO the
American palate. In the case of the curry, one
third Of the amount ordinarily used in India is
specified and, at that it is quite fiery
enough for the normal taste. But II you want
the dish TO be right, account omit the
grated fresh eocoanut. Its distinctive flavor de-

GRAPE JUICE (UNFERMENTED).
This popular beverage can be easily made at
home and the cost of the homemade article is
very slight. Wash and pick over ripe Concord
grapes, rejecting any soft or imperfect ones.
Put in the preserving kettle with very little
water, just enough to prevent burning, and
cook slowly until the skins break. Mash while
they are cooking to extract the juice. Cook
slowly for about three-quarters of an hour and
then turn into coarse jelly bag to drain. Do
not press or squeeze or the finished product
will be cloudy Have in readiness clean, steri-
lied bottles with the patent china or metal tops.
If you do not have these, be sure that the corks
are new and soak them first in cold water, so
that they can be pressed tightly in. Measure
the drained juice and to each quart allow a
scant quarter of pound or sugar. Reheat the
juice to the boiling point and cook steadily for
half an hour, carefully removing the scum as it
rises. Add the sugar that has been heated in
the oven for five minutes, turn into the bottles
and seal Immediately.
If preferred, the grape juice can be canned
may be used in place of the bottles. Do not
put the jars or bottles in place where there
is any danger of freezing, but store in cool,
dry closet. While Concord grapes are to be
preferred, other varieties may be used.
GRAPE APPLES.
Put one pint of fresh grape juice and one
cupful of sugar into a saucepan and let it come
to boil. Pare and core six small apples, leav-
ing them whole, and simmer them in the grape
juice syrup until tender, but not broken. Place
the apples in glass sauce dishes, boil down the
syrup until thick and pour over the fruit. Chill
and serve with sweetened whipped cream.
WILD GRAPE MARMALADE.
Take the wild green grapes cut open with a
sharp knife and remove the skins and seeds.

Ilx& introduction to the experience
$S is n dinner or luncheon at one
HfEk--l Of the Chinese restaurants in
order to see and taste what the
Cinnamon cook, and how they do it.
The information given in answer to ques-
tons asked as to how the dishes are concocted
may be meacre for the Chinese are an I'M
communicative race and their "pidgin Eng
lsh" is difficult to grasp.
But keep your eyes open, and If you have
a keen palate and some small knowledge of
cooking much may be learned.
The first requisite for marketing is mar
ket basket. There are no deliveries from
Chinatown. so every woman must be demo-
cratic enough to carry her own basket. The
baskets are to be had from nearly all of the
shops; they arc squatty, round affairs with
red handles and splint bottom and cost about
n dollar.

these small preparatory jobs at night, because
there are fewer interruptions. But even if it

much the same as the Southern method Of cook
ing rice and means simply that cupful Of rice
is put into three or four quarts of actively
boiling sailed water and IS kept boiling hard
and steadily for about twenty minutes. This

In India the dish is served in a soup bowl,
the curry being poured over the rice and spoon

The chutney in India is made Of mangoes,
