promptly on a hot platter, with or
without a tomato, onion, or brown
sauce. Chops, like broiled steaks,
should be seasoned when eaten rather
than during the cooking because salt
draws out the juices.
French chops are the rib chops
which have had all superfuous skin
and flank trimmed closely from the
bone. The butcher usually does this.
They are used for formal occasions
with little paper frill concealing the
scraped bone which sometimes chars
on cooking. For the ordinary family
dinner, however, French chops are not
an economical selection.

SELECTING AND
COOKING CHOPS
IF Cut Too Thin They Are
Liable to Dry Out.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Doesn't your family enjoy chops for
a change? For dinner you can serve
any kind of lamb chops-loin or rib,
shoulder or leg-or the corresponding
cuts of mutton, If 1t is sold in your
markets; or the veal chops from rib
or loin. Whether you broil or pan
broil them, If the chops are selected
from a good grade of meat and are
cooked with care to retain their juici-
ness and tenderness, they will have a
zestful flavor and characteristic quail
ity unexcelled by any cut of meat. In
buying chops it is well to have them
cut to order; otherwise they may be
cut so thin that they tougher and dry
out in cooking. The butcher has to
meet public demand and many of his
customers want large number OF
chops from any given weight rather
than few thick juicy ones. In cut,
ting rib and T-bone chops, the width
of the bone may well be the guide, cut
ting one chop to each rib or each Sec
ton of the bone in the loin. For other
cuts the thickness should be at least
three-quarters Of an inch.
Whichever kind of chops you choose,
and no matter which method of cook
ing you use, plan to serve your dinner
the moment the chops are done, SO
that they will be piping hot. OF
course you will see that the dinner
plates are hot, too. Any attempt to
keep chops warm after they are done
to turn usually results in overlook
ing them or making them greasy.
Lamb and veal chops are usually
preferred well done, but not dry. A
rare" mutton chop is often expected
Both lamb and mutton chops have so
much surrounding fat that they are
usually broiled or pan-broiled rather
than fried. More or less superfuous
fat and skin is, even then, trimmed
from them before they are cooked
The chief point about any method OF
cooking chops is to scar the outside
at once at a high temperature to pre-,
vent the juices from escaping. To
broil chops in gas oven, put them on
the rack in the pan that slides under
the flame and turn them several times
Many people think that chop broiled
over live Goals or a wood fire has nc
equal. For this a creased wire broil
er is used. Pan-broiling is ddae in g
heavy iron skillet heated kissing hot
The chops are put in, turned as soon
as the under surface is scared on the
other side. Then turn them often
lifting them between two forks t.
avoid piercing the surface and losing
the meat juice. They will be well

There Are Various Ways
of COOKING Sally Lunrs

There are various kinds of Sally
Lunns, some raised with yeast, some
with baking powder. Here is recipe
for the yeast-raised kind. The ingre-
dents are: IA cupfuls milk, 2 eggs,
u cupful water (lukewarm), Ia cakes
yeast, tablespoonfuls butter, 8 tea
spoonfuls salt, 4 tablespoonful sugar,
cupfuls flour. Scald the milk, add the
sugar, salt and butter and allow the
mixture to cool. Soften the yeast In
the water. When the milk Is luke
warm add the yeast, the beaten egg
and the flour. Pour the batter into a
buttered pan, and allow it to rise to
double it's bulk. With this quantity OF
yeast 1t should rise and be ready for
baking in 8 to hours, but the exact
time depends on a number of things
and cannot be given definitely. Try to
time it, though, so that your "Sally"
will be hot for dinner. Before putting
it into the oven, sprinkle the top with
sugar and cinnamon and bake in a
moderately hot oven.

Edith surveyed her sister critically.
"Who is it, pray?"
Ina rippled another merry laugh,
then tried to look very serious as she
leaned heavily on the footboard of
the bed and answered deliberately,
''The-gas-man."
The two stared at each other for
moment in silence, the younger smil-
ing roguishly at the elders dignified
disapproval. 81 knew you would

Ina continued:

was there a keener appreciation OF
Christmas cheer than in the heart OF
winsome Ina Walton, the affectionate
and resourceful younger sister OF

dishes of very tempting food. She

the well-buttered toast, eggs and
coffee.

Christmas, Ina, dear, but the season

The explanation of 16-to-7 football

Business First in
This Baseball Era

whats the difference be-
tween the player Of today and
the old-time players" was the
question put to Grover Hartley,
veteran catcher, recently.
"Well," replied Hartley, 1.-THE
ball player of today is a far bet
ter business man than the ball
player of yesterday. The ball
player of today knows the value
of Florida real estate, and he
knows his value as a box-office
attraction.
"And when it comes to sign
ing his contract he lets the club
owner know he's business man
as well as ball player"
That's the difference between
the ball player of today and
yesterday. The old-time player
was smart in a baseball way,
but poor business man.
