HORS D'OEUVRES
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright, 1921. by Frank Crane)

Hors dOeuvres literally means out of work
The technical meaning is those little bits of eat
ables with which we commence meal
The term is French of course as the French are
authorities upon matters gustatory.
AT the midday meal in French restaurant one
usually begins with the hors d'oeuvres
They are not much used in England or in
Germany
You will find them, however, in Italy, known asi
antepast You will find them also-or you did find
them in former days-in great abundance lin Russia
and in the Orient And the farther you get East the
more piquant the hors doeuvres will become.
Whatever makes eating more refined and taste
full performance is worth while. So few words about
hors d'oeuvres may not be out of place.
Any housewife can prepare them, as they are an
excellent means of utilizing scraps. 1t should be remem
bered, however, that they should be always freshly
made.
Fish, being usually highly favored, form an i'm
portant element in hors doeuvres. AS for instance
anchoves cavare the sated roe of sturgeon herring
tunny shrmps, and the like. They should always be
served IN small portions and appetZingly arranged
Among other hors doeuvres used by the French
are cucumbers sced finely and covered with vnegar)
small mushrooms, cabbage slaw, watercress small
beans, small slices Of summer sausage such as cervelat
Bologna and the like, slices of tongue and aspar-
agus tips.
Picked mushrooms and artichokes are much used
in Italy and they serve their anchoves and other small
fish in piquant sauces.
All throughout the Balkans hors doeuvres are
much in favor And in the old days in Russia were the
zakouskis.
1t used to be the fashion in Russian families for
the guests to help themselves at small side table where
there was tempting array Of sated fish, salted nuts
pickles and salads, which taken standing accom-
panied by little glasses of vodka strong liquor which
is now prohibited But very probably that sort of thing
in Russia is all over
The array of hors d'oeuvres in some of the French
restaurants was extensive that the patrons got in the
habit of making meal of them so that often now an
extra charge is made for them unless other food is
ordered afterwards
OF course you are not expected to eat heartily Of
the hors doeuvres They for picking and to satisfy
your appetite with them is supposed to be ndelicate"
The conversation during the hors d'oeuvres period
OF the meal is supposed to be quite frivolous in keeping
with the character of the food.
To those who are disposed to make the most out of
the little things of life and to neglect touch of re-
nement that can redeem the necessity of nourishment
from grossness hors doeuvres form possibly subject
of some interest

WASHINGTON. D. C.--Is the door

foreign spheres of influence, her new
culture movement Turing her down
the ladder of centuries to an occi-

This seems to be indicated by her
new policies. Walls OF old cities are
torn down; congested districts are
being transformed into broad streets
and parks; education is changing to
