it was with increasing wonder that

knelt to dip their washing in the

Has the 'svie pratique' Of the
new world no time for old wives
secrets?
New-York tribune., 1922-11-05
BY Mildred Morris, Poris

AT FIRST the old wives watched
us with shy courtesy from the
open doorways, their ample skirts
and bodices of coarse stuff reveal
ing just a glimpse through the door
way beyond of shining pewter and
bright hearth fires. We were the
1rst Americans the tiny red-roofed
village, perched high on shoulder
OF the Massif Central in France. had
ever sheltered.
When our passing back and forth
became habitual, with always a
word from us in the spontaneous
American way for the fine ducks.
the sleek white goats, the heavy
clusters of grapes ripening against
the walls, beaming smiles awaited
us under the snowy caps, and then
there followed a childlike welcome
into their homes.
so we came TO know some of the
old wives precious secrets.
1t was thrilling moment, min
gled with chagrin, when Grandmere
Sautreau invited US into the house
in which she was born, married and
now cared for her sons children.
Unlike the peasants, we could not
shed our muddy sabots on the
threshold, to step upon the flawless
tiles in felt slippers, instead our
shoes left their trace on that pol
;shed floor.
POt-au-feu First Hand
But savory vapor soon diverted
our attention. At the great open
fireplace a black kettle hung over
the glowing charcoal. 1t was a pot
au-feu, Of course, and the grand
mere sat by the fire skimming it
with her long wooden spoon.
"Ben oui, mesdames," she re-
piled brightly to our query, 81
shall tell you how we make a pot
au-feu If you will. There are car
rots, a turnip and leeks with the
beef and bones. The whole must
be we'll seasoned with salt and pep
per, laurel and thyme, and it cooks
so slowly, for five or six hours per
haps. Nothing else? Oh, yes,
something very important" Her
young eyes had knowing look as
the spoon searched the pot and
brought forth the dripping secret.
1t was an onion bristling with
clovesi

At this moment a peasant stood in
the doorway, an oval basket
strapped to his back. "This is my
husband" the grandmere said. "He
is over eighty, and see how straight
he stands" The old man, who hao
been in the war Of 1870 and had
seen his son modified to the call

Selection of Meat

In selecting meat for use in stews,
and ragouts the breast, chuck, flank,
neck and lower round are generally
selected, all of which, with the ex-
ception of the latter, are very mex
pensive.
II, making a good curry the sauce
or gravy is the main thing, the basis
of the dish, and as it may be made
from left-overs as well as from
meats, it need not be an expensive
dish. Extended with rice or maca-
roni (the latter is delicious), very
small quantity Of meat, poultry or
fish will go long way when pre-
pared in this way. A good curry
sauce is also good in which to re-
heat cooked potatoes, cauliflower or
turnips, and sliced hard-cooked eggs.
A Good Curry Sauce
To make good curry sauce for
this purpose put two tablespoonfuls
Of butter in pan, and in it cook
a slice Of onion and apple for three
minutes. Remove the apple and
onion and blend in teaspoonful
and a half of curry powder, blended
with two tabiespoonfuls of -four.
Let cook for a minute or two and
add slowly two cupfuls of cocoanut
milk. Stir constantly until it boils,

BY virsinia Carter Lee

wv cold November days, hot,
appetizing stews and cur
ries should have an important place
in planning the menus. The word
"stew" does not conjure up very
tempting dish to the average person,
for visions of tough meat, under
cooked or '7oiled to shreds, vegetables
and a watery, fioury gravy does not
invite a second trial.
Unfortunately, this has been the
experience Of many, when in reality
a piping hot stew (sometimes callea
ragout or fricassee), properly made,
is one of the best and heartiest
dishes that can be served on the
family table.
Made as they are from the cheap
er cuts, they are very Inexpensive,
and as both meat, vegetables and
the rnacaroni or potatoes that ac-
company them are all served on one
plate it is one-platter meal, which
saves on the dishwashing after
ward.
A curry is generally considered
as higher grade dish than a stew,
although it is prepared in very much
the same manner. BE sure that It
is seasoned 'to the queens TASTE; !;
that the rich gravy is golden In
color and that the snowy rice that is
served with it is steamed light and
dry, with every kernel distinct.
Stews De Luxe
In making stews there are several
important points to remember. If
raw meat is used, scar it over flrss
in savory drippings, then put into
the kettle without salt) and cover
with cold water or stock (the latter
is much the better). Bring slowly
to the boiling point, then reduce the
meat and simmer until tender. Five
minutes of hard boiling will com.
pietely spoil the meat, as rapid
cooking toughens the fiber. Do not
add salt until it is little more than
half cooked, although an onion
stuck with three whole cloves and
half a bay leaf and a chopped stalk
Of celery may be added when it is
put down to cook, 80 that the meat
may be we'll favored.
AS a rule, the vegetables should
be added with only a time allow
ance for their proper cooking, and
when both meat and vegetables are
dished, the gravy is thickened, extra
condiments added and then poured
over all.
These are the fundamental rules
in making good stews, although the
meat, vegetables and seasoning can
be varied. Do not be afraid to ex-
pertinent with Worcestershire sauce,
kitchen bouquet, walnut, tomato
and mushroom catsup, q bit Of
sweet pickle and the always deli
cious chutney, and If canned toma.
toes are utilized always add tea.
