French Cuisine Terms
a Housewife Should Know

Whether or not you are one of the
purists OF the English language who
regret the Ang1o-French jargon used
doubt about the fact that you really
ought to have a definite idea of long
list. of French terms. And If you wish
to use them yourself, either in ordering
from a menu or in directing your own
cook. you ought to know the actual
French meaning of the words as well
as the derived meaning.
Here are some of the terms used both
in the kitchen and in menus:
Bechemel. which was originally q
white sauce made of stock and cream
and other ingredients and was named
after a famous cook. 1t is now ap.
piled to any rich white sauce and when
used in connection with various viands
has reference to their being creamed.
Cannelon. which was originally a
channeled mold for ices. 1t is now ap-
piled to minced and highly spiced meat
baked in a roll. of the same shape as
the original channeled mold.
Caramel, which Is named after Count
Caramel. who invented the favor de-
rived from burning sugar slightly.
Casserole, which originally in French
applied to various sorts of saucepans
or baking dishes, but now applies to
covered earthen baking dishes or to
the preparation cooked in them.
Confitures, which means any preserves
or sweetmeats.
A la creole. which is applied to any
dish baked in the fashion Of the cre-
oles-that is. the early French settlers
Of Louisiana, noted for their fine cook
cry. BY many persons it is applied to
any dish cooked with tomatoes. but
this Is absurd.
Croustade and crouton both come
from "croute," meaning crust. Origi-
nally a croustade was a dish made with
crust. but it may apply to crusty
pastry. Croutons are small cubes OF

roses and streamers. A pink crepe de
chine matinee completes this set.

The Cooling Beverage.

OF course, We all know that iced drinks
are bad for our digestions. But we all
know, too, that we like iced, or, at least.
very cold, drinks. And probably as long
as warm summers follow upon the heels
Of cold winters in our land we shall in
duIge our taste for iced tea. lemonade
ana other cold and quenching beverages.
1t is quite possible to cool any bev-
erage to tempting degree by placing it
in bottle or other closed receptacle on
the ice for several hours. It must, II the
day Is warm, be drunk as soon as 1t Is
poured. or else 1t will quickly lose its
chill. Even when ice Is desired in the
beverage, it should be put in in shavings.
and the glass should never be piled full of
ice. This makes drinking difficult, and it
also produces a drink so cold that 1t il
dangerous.
The iced teapots-or should they be
iced-tea teapots?-are most convenient.
They can be bought in china. Big and
rather heavy blue japanese ones, with
straw handles. are especially serviceable.
The value Of these teapots is that the
ice can be placed in the pot. and, when
the tea Is sufficiently cooled it can be
poured off-and the ice remains behind.
There is an iced tea set Of engraved
glass, consisting Of glasses. q teapot-of
