BRINDADE
OF COD
BY Alice Langelier.

IT was the turn of the ancient
l. city Of Mines to be honored In
the restaurant of the Autumn
Salon. and a large crowd Of
gourmands ate the specialties Of
the region. There was the savory
Brindade Of Cod and the meat
rolls of Beaucaire and chicken,
accompanied by the sauce La
Gardianne, ending up with almond
nougats and crisp cakes from
vVillaret.
This is the chefs recipe for the
Brindale Of Cod. Put the fish into
cold water and when just ready
to boil. skim off and remove
from the fire. Cover during a
quarter Of an hour and then
drain. Skim we'll and remove all
the bones. Then put the cod into
q casserole with a little olive oil.
Put over a moderate fire and stir
we'll while cooking, about one.
half an hour. Reduce the cod TO
a thin mixture. When it begins
to thicken add a little milk.
Clean well two nice truffles
and chop into fine pieces. Add
to the cod together with some oil,
stirring all the time. Salt and
pepper well, but do not add garlic
or parsley. Serve warm.

WHEN IN
DOUBT
BY Cornelius Beekman-
Wedding Customs.
DEAR MRS BEECKMAN:

nEAR MRS BEECKMAN:
Is it good form for the bride
to wear a veil at a morning
wedding when the bridegroom is
to wear a business suit?
2. When the bride wears a hat
is a shower bouquet permissible,
or is it better form to have a
plain bouquet with a white how?
8. What flowers would you sug.
gest for bridesmaid who is to
wear orchid? BRIDE.
YES. 1t is always good form for
= the bride to carry out the
bridal traditions. What the groom
wears does not affect this form.
2. A shower bouquet is per.
MISSILE, is very good form and
Is always effective. If a bride
wishes. however, with her in.
formal attire, to have a more in.
formal bouquet, she may wear a
corsage bouquet.
3. don't see how a bride can
resist having her bridesmaids
carry bouquets Of combined spring
flowers. With an orchid dress,
a combination of yellow spring
flowers would be especially effec-
'tive-daffodils. yellow freesias,
combined perhaps with narcissus.
How about a small colonial or
1880 bouquet-one Of those prim,
quaint bouquets with circles Of
different shades Of flowers?

answer. questions on etiquette sub.
mitted by readers.)

- Woman is mentally inferior to Man becaus,
discovered or invented anything.
Well-let's see. Who discovered sin?
The lnquisitive Sex-of counsel
The first woman who took the first bite of
the first fruit-cocktail And no man has ever
tried to rob her of the distinction-though he has
robbed her Of most of the sins.
Who discovered love? The Sentimental Sex!
If it had not been for woman's flare for
coquetry, her penchant for citing and her de-
mand for devotion, the caveman never would
have found out that his desire to club her sense
less and drag her home by the hair was LOVE"
Who invented clothes? The Vainer Sex?
Certainly!
If it had not been for feminine vanity man
would probably still be going arnnnd in carria na
