ing and "Charing'

into shape. Melt q piece Of suct IN q
deep iron kettle and then remove The
suet and add tho meat. Place over q
hot fire and brown quickly, turning
frequently. When the meat is nicely
Drowned cover closely and then place
the pot on the simmering burner. Shake
and turn the meat occasionally, and
then allow one-half hour per pound
from the time you place the meat on
the simmerins burner. Meat cooked
In this manner will be tender and
Juicy.
Potatoes may be added at tho proper
time and Drowned with the meat, as
mny be onions and the tiniest bit OF
garlic or a tablespoon Of garlic vinegar.
To Broil
To broil means 10 char. This method
Ia the Oldest form OF cookery. Very
early records Of history tell Us that
food was placed on pointed stick and
then held near the fame to cook. Broil-
ing IL tho method used for cooking
steaks. chops, fish, chicken, game, ham
and shell fish.
To Isroil In the Gas Range
Place about a quart Of water In the
broiling pan add a tablespoon OF salt.
This will prevent the fat from taking
fro and nlso permit the fat to Be re &.
moved when cold.
Broiling Is the process where the sur.
face of the meat IL scared by direct
contact with the fame to prevent the
escape Of the meat Juices. Hence there
can be no gravy where this method is
used. II the heat is too slow and the
juices are permitted TO escape In the
pan, the meat will be tough and taste
less.
How to Broil
Rub the wire rack Of the broiling pan
with a piece OF suet and then wipe the
meat and lay II on the broiler. Place
about four inches from the direct fame.
Turn In three minutes and then turn
again in four minutes. Repent this
turning process every four minutes until
the meat is cooked.
To Test
Press the meat while broiling, and IL
spongy it is still raw. When 1t just
begins to set and become firm 1t IL
rare; In three minutes from this test
It is medium cooked. and In five min
utes from this test It Ia we'll done.
Never turn n roast, pot roast or meat
cooked in the broiler with fork. This
makes a puncture in the tissues OF the
meat and permits the juice to escape.
Use two spoons or a heavy coarse cloth
and turn quickly with the hands.
To make gravy for broiled meat.
lift the cooked meat TO hot platter and
spread the meat quickly with butter
and prcss just a little. Season and 1t
Is then ready for the table. Do not
mako rho rnistake TINT So many house
wives do-that Of purchasing a large

portunity HES himself to the cafes, ho-

Thin meat loses It's favor and taste
and much Of it's nutriment, so rather
order a good, thick and small steak and
broil II nicely. Gut into finger widths
of about two inches. This Is ideal and
makes n very fine serving If the meat is
nicely done

The wearin' Of tho green is certainly
not prohibited by the spring fashion
law. In sports clothes green vics with
crimson and henna shades as the smart
est thing you can do about color. Va
rious shades Of it are sponsored for
evening clothes; and separate wraps
run a samut from the misticst Of gray
green's to the deep jeweled shades.
As trimming touch green is con
sidered particularly good, and one OF
the seasons best combinations Is that
Of black and green. Navy and the yer =
dant tone are also authorized, and II
is this latter selected for the frock OF
today's drawing.
This simple costume of navy serge is
trimmed with grosgrain ribbon OF en-
erald hue, and the rosette Of serge at
the side has a picoted edge to match
the ribbon. The original vestee OF
pleated cream -colored georgette Is
echoed by cuffs Of the same fabric.

DoAsTING meats, as prscticed BY
n the French housewife, Is entirely
a,Ferept from the methods used In thi,
country. The term to roast---that Ia, II
cook with the direct heat Of the oper
asme. is exactly the same method as 1,
n,ed in this country for broiling.
The meat must be constantly turned
"A be assured Of even cooking and also
TO prevent burning. Meat cooked ID
mis- manner loses less per pound thar
That which is baked in dry heat.
Roasting meats as the American
housewife understands this term, con
stats Of seasoning meat. busting with
-four, adding water to the pan and then
baking in a hot oven. Meat cooking
in this manner loses much Of It's nutri :
rnent In the gravy which II partly svsp-
grated during the process OF cooking.
meat and the meat Is then placed in a
water In the bottom Of the pan and the
salt helping to keep open the tissues in
the meat.
TO roast In the correct manner: Be-
let n cut Of meat, using only the
tender and juicy cuts. Wipe with q
damp cloth and then place in a pan
IN a hot oven and watch until the meat
IL Drowned and scared over. Now add
the -four to the bottom Of the pan, II
YOU desire II for thickening to the
rYuyy. Baste the meat every ten min :
utes with a pint Of boiling water which
contains one teaspoon Of salt. Do not
pcur all the water on at once, but
lust few tablespoons at time. Re-
duce the heat as soon as the meat Is
nicely Drowned or scared. Cook, al
lowing eighteen to twenty minutes 10
the pound and count the time from the
minute the meat Is Drowned or scared.
II is very important to reduce the
heat after the meat IA brown, for the
intense heat destroys the surface OF
ne meat by chnrring. This also causes
great waste. Intense heat also causes
large loss Of the fatty tissues.
" you wish you may roast the meat
by direct contact with the fame by
using the broiling pan. Prepare the
meat as for cooking in the oven, and
then lay on wire rack Of the broiling
pan and place the pan very low in the
oven. This method means that the meat
must be watched constantly and the
fame reduced MS soon MS the surface IL
nicely Drowned. Turn the meat every
eight to ten minutes. Bastc us directed
FOR baking the meat. It is wise to leave
the oven door partly open and this can
be easily done by bending piece Of
wire into n hook and then using IL to
hold the door in position.
So very few cuts are available and
the price is corrcspondingly high. that
the frugal housewife. who must be
thrifty. hesitates to order them.
Many foreign housewives can prepare
q pot roast In such a way that only
an epicure could tell the difference
and even then he would choose this meat
cooked In this manner In preference to
many Of the so-called roasts.
To Pot Roast
Select any cut Of meat that suits
both your eye and your pocketbook, and
then wipe the meat with damp cloth.
