UIEIE American people are ceas-
ing to laugh, Thomas L. Mas
SON states In the February Inter
national Book Review. The wide
omen mouth will soon be seen
only in dentists offices and eating
establishments and will be a
symptom of vulgarity, according
to this humorist-critic. He also
states that the wares of the hui
morists were disappointing dur
ing. the year just past.
1T is gradually beginning to
dawn upon the most reluctant

shat their humor is no laughing
matter.
Laughter will soon be recog-.
nized as a vibratory emotion in
which the death rattle is distinct
Nv discernible. Unless all signs
fail. laughter will soon be rele-
gated to the past as one of the
lowest forms of self-expression.
"The man who laughs viii be in
the same case with the man who
spends money only upon himself.
Both are forms of ostentatious
vulgarity. not to be tolerated
where spiritual intelligence win
soon hold dominion over intel

Hitherto, in order to conceal

play-of truth as it came in hui
NOR, we have thought it best TO
laugh But this is an age of
exposure. The necessity for dis
stimulation has gone. We no
longer feel ashamed at anything
We do.
Hence, when a good joke comes
along, we may easily be inclined
to shed tears over it. The tragedy
of it will shock us more than be-
fore the truth of it tended to

And from all this-who knows?

SHAWLS AND

The cape provides youth, which

Shawls very often replace the
cape, especially for evening wear.

BROILING is
EASY
BY Hannah Wing

F the broiler in your gas stove
Il doesn't work well, if you con-
slider using coal or oil, or if you
have a gas stove or plate with
out a broiler, don't despair De-
licious broiled steaks, chops, chick
en-, sausage. bacon, whatever you
like, may still be your achieve
ment.
1t is possible to broil on top of
the stove with a broiler especially
made for that purpose. This
works as we'll and uses so little
gas. requires only moderate
flame. that it is quite possible to
use it instead of the oven brolier,
TO save gas.
At first it seems incredulous
that one can broil on top of the
stove. One Immediately asks.
What becomes of the juices and
drippings, and doesn't it burn or
smell?" Both of these difficulties
the gravy and drippings are
saved and made useful as we'll,
and there is no smoke or burn
ing.
There is a gravy pan at the bot
tom of this broiler skilfully
placed so that it catches the drip
but doesn't keep the heat from
reaching the meat You begin
your broiling by filling the gravy
pan about one-third full of cold
water and placing it in the
broiler The steam bastes the
meat, softeniing the fibres and
making the meat tender, at the
same time absorbing all smoke
and odors, preventing burning of
the meat.
The latest and thickest por-
tons OF meat TO be cooked should
be placed ut the top of the
broiler
The grid is then in an upright
position on two hooks at the top
of the broiler and the sides are
closed. The heat from below en-
tering each side of grid hanging
centrally over the opening broils
both sides at one time. uniformly
without burning.
AS in general practice, use a
high heat at first to scar, brown
and retain the juices, Follow
with Il medium flame heat for
completing the cooking. If there
is either smoke or splitting of fat,
lower the flame and be sure TO
keep the inside of the broiler
free from grease, then there Is
sure to be no smell.
A small porterhouse steak
about three pounds will be done
perfectly in 10 minutes on q me-
dunn burner. Put on for four
minutes over fun flames and
then finish at half heat.
