THE WAY TO SERVE MEATS.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:
The following ways of cooking meats
will be found satisfying:
"Pureiy Cuban" way of Cooking a
Steak: Procure a good piece of meat,
rub it well on both sides with a raw
onion, from which a thick slice has
been cut; over it by spoons put the
lemon will not take its place.. Allow
it to stand and blend for two hours
before cooking. Turn it over several
times so the juice will penetrate all
parts of the steak. Broil it in the
regulation way. Season to taste with
salt, pepper, paprika and soft butter
Send to table on a very hot platter
Down there the broiling is done over
charcoal, on a stone built in the
ground, but as our gas ranges have
broiling ovens, they are an admirable
substitute.
Chicken Outlets: One cup Of chop
ped cooked chicken seasoned with
teaspoon of pepper few drops Of
onion Juice and one teaspoon Of lem
on juice. Make a sauce, using two
tablespoons of butter, one tablespoon
of -four one-half cup Of cream and
one egg; add this to chicken, and cook
shape in the form OF outlets, roll in
fine breadcrumbs, dip in egg, roll in
crumbs and fry in deep fat. Serve
with a white mushroom sauce.
SteWed Veal is easily managed. Use
a brisRet or knuchIe of veal, cut into
pieces Of about an inch square, brown
in tablespoon Of lard, which has
been seasoned with pepper and salt.
Add two small potatoes, peeled and
cut into quarters, two onions, two
carrots, and when they have been in
about 10 minutes add two pints of
boiling hot water and let simmer an
hour or more.
A good deal in the success Of a dish
Of sweetbreads depends on their treat
ment before they are cooked. They
should dpRtS b SOAKED. ReYREAl= hQara

sailed water till tender, drain well, add

Before serving arrange asparagus with
tips in center of dish, mix the vinegar

THE "MoVIEs" IN
SOUTH AMERICA.
Have as Great Hold on People There
as Anywhere Else.

Almost everybody goes to the
movies" in South America. They call
them "cinemas'- down there-but they
are movies" just the same. 1t is one
instance of albbreviation even among
the Spanish-speaking pcople-the full
f1edged name, "cinematUgrafo," having
proved too bUrdensOme even for them.
And as suggested, everyone takes
them in-aristOcrat and peon, rich and
poor, young and old, all classes and
kinds except the unfortunate blind.
In the matter Of popularity and char
acter of attendance, therefore, the
movie" has nothing on the cinema,
but there are some few points of diff
ference in the way they are managed,
differences which are entertaingly
brought out in an article by William
A. Reid in the current number of the
Bulletin of the Pan American Union,
Washington, D. c. For instance, he
writes:
I'm Rio de Janeiro the best motion
picture theaters do not follow the
custom of allowing patrons to drop
in and out at will. A film is adver%
tised to begin at certain hour Of the
afternoon or evening; at the appointed
time doors are closed, OF in most cases
a heavy and highly decorated curtain
is dropped, and the show in the audi
torium begins. A rather novel ar
rangement, also noted in other Bra
lillian cities, is the waiting lobby i'm
mediately in front of the entrance
proper After purchasing ticket the
patron enters the lobby or corridor,
takes a comfortable seat and waits
until the termination of the first Sec
ton Of the play, the time of which may
be a few minutes or half an hour.
While waiting one may listen to the
band of music, which may be heard
equally well by those within the lobby
or in the audience. At times the
crowds become congested, and all the
lobby seats are occupied in such
cases the ticket seller withholds fur
Their admissions and the swelling
crowd of waiting patrons must re-
main in the street until seats are
available.

constructed especially for this class
Of business they are in most cases

and moderniZed, and elegance and at

recent years some Of the finest play
houses have thrown open their doors
for moving pictures, a fact that per-
mits the humble citizens to get within

adorn most South American capitals.

METHODS 5oF ENTERTAINING.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Here is
a good plan for q musical party that
I am almost sure will pay:
a "MusicaI Party" has a flavor to it
that viii touch the little folks far more
than a reCitSL IF there are two or
even one little boy or girl at home who
is taking piano lessons, he or she may
like to play these games at their par
ty.
First try bouncing musical balls.
COlOred rubber balls should be given
out as prizes for tIrose who bounced
the piano. This is voted lots Of
fun"
Then there is a familiar game of
finding a hidden object by means Of
music. Loud music means that the
seeker is near the object. soft that he
is far away from it.
Next try marching to four beats
and stand still for the corresponding
number of beats. This may be done
beats are marched. During the wait
ing period the children should clap
the time with their hands. In this
manner careful listening and accurate
counting are stimulated.
The faVors may be paper caps which
caps upon which are pasted large,
black white half CHARTERED, eighth.
lieved by such other musical signs as
can be cut conveniently and quickly
out of black paper. OF course the
children do the cutting. After that
other games may be played and then
some refreshments are served.
A nice coIored drink for chiI6s
party: Make a heavy pineapple syrup,
color pink or green with fruit color
ing. Put a spoon Of this in a glass,
then a spoon of syrup of lighter weight
Of different color on top. Lemon or
grape juice may be the last added.
With a little practice this will make
a beautiful and delicious soft drink. It
may be served in small glasses.
Best wishes to all.
