VIOLETS.


She va the mysterious beauty OF
the resort hotel in which We stopped
av lille last winter. She always sat
al a small round table beside a win
DOS. and rarely had a fri nd 20
share the meal before her Every
tHOrning, when she appeared heI
first Get was 10 pick up a great
bunch of deep purple violets, gra-
srant and fresh as herself, and hold
them TO her face as though they
gave her the utmost pleasure.
Ii Lecame evident TO all of US that
that beautiful young girl loved vio-
lets and. also. that she had an ad
mirer who kept her we'll supplied.
Presently we all watched to see
when the mysterious admirer would
follow his offerings. incidentally,
persons who became acquainted
with the solitary beauty, asked for
the name Of the florist who grew
violets of such loneliness and size.
Everyone was surprised 10 learn that
the flowers were grown by a semi
invalid, a young girl who had be
sun 10 grow violets for sale and had
been very successful in securing
flowers Of unusual size and color.
tbs interested US. and We all. in
that hotel ordered violets from this
girl and asked our friends L. do so.
1t is possible that some Of our in
terest in the violet-grower came
from desire TO learn who the alb
sent admirer might be, but, if that
were the case, curiosity was not re-
warded. The great punches of dewey
blossoms lay on the round table by
the window every morning. and the
beautiful stranger smelled them
with the same expression Of delight
every doy, but not a hint of the name
Of the vio'ets donor leaked out.
1t was fun to see how men who
met the lovely stranger viewed the
offering Of viOlets. They were sure
that such persistent attentions. re-
ceived whit such manifest pleasure,
meant an engagement. and. just to
be contrary, they offered bouquets
of every other sort except violets.
That is, all except one man. This

WAYS TO COOK RICE.

They had best not stir the rice.
though it sticks to the pot" wrote
Cervantes. the greatest of Spanish
writer's, hundreds of years ago.
Whether or not Cervantes was an
expert on cookery, he surely knew
something about cooking rice; in
fact he expressed in that sentence
the most important fact about rice
cooking.
Don't stir the rice. If it boils hard
enough it won't stick. That is one
OF the cases where the more heat
you apply in cooking, up to a GER
tain point, the less likely the food is
to burn.
Without doubt, the best all-round
way of cooking rice is TO boil it in
plenty of water. First wash the rice
by putting it in a seive and letting
the cold water run through it for a
few minutes. Meantime have dish
of water boiling on the stove. salt
it in the proportion of a sCant tea
spoonful of salt to a quart of wa
ter. When it is bubbling rapidly
pour in the rice, slowly enough so
that the water does not stop bub-
bling Now adjust the fire so that
the rice continues TO boil rapidly.
The cooking will no. take longer,
usually, than / > minutes.
The best way TO determine wheth-
er rice is cooked or not is 10 take
out a grain or so on the prong of a
silver fork, and when it has cooled
a little to eat it. If it appears TO be
done through then the rice is done
It should be removed from the fire.
and the liquid should be drained off,

but saved. 1t is rather rich in
ncurishment and makes an excellent
foundation for soup. 1t may also be
used for moistening cOOkedover
meats or instead of milk for white
sauce.
The rice should be turned lightly
into a vegetable dish, or into cereal
dishes. and served at once. Rice,
unlike oatmeal and some other
cereals, does not require very long
cooking. Once it is soft through il is
as we'll cooked as it ever will be.
one need not feel that additional
boiling increases its digestibihty.
Many persons like steamed rice.
This is made by cooking it in a
double boiler. 1t may be cooked
either in milk or water 70 which a
little salt has been added The rice
cooked in this way is not so fakey,
but il is good in flavor and is per-
haps better suited 70 MAKE rice GRO
quotes or to use with forecemeats.
1t is considerable more gluetnous,
since some OF the glueton is poured
off the boiled rice when it is drain
ed.
To make a nice dessert, and a
good war time dessert, steam rice in
the juice poured off from a can of
preserved fruit. A little water may
be added TO the juice. If a colored
juice is used--as, for instance,
strawberry or raspberry juice-the
rice absorbs the color and comes out
attractive as we'll as flavorsome.
Served with milk or cream it makes
a good dessert, and needs no more
SUGAR than that contributed by the
sweet juice.

eign Office declaration made by

sleep in the mud and that all were for
