Taste for Caviar Develops
When Americans Go Abroad

rika. II you like you may garnish with
pepper.
For Sandwiches.
Caviar sandwiches are good served
for little late evening supper or with
tea in the afternoon. To make them
mix q quarter pound of caviar with
three tablespoonfuls of olive oil and
three tablespoonfuls Of lemon Juice. Mix
thoroughly and then spread on thin
slices of bread Some people pre-
fer whole-wheat bread to white for this
purpose.
Caviar pancakes are delicacy made
by some English cooks. The recipe calls
for Yorkshire pudding batter, which
should be made into pancakes very thin
and very small. While piping hot,
spread thinly with caviar paste, roll up
tight, fasten with a small wooden tooth
pick, trim the ends in q sharp angie
and serve at once. The Yorkshire pud-
ding batter is made from one pint Of
milk. two eggs. four heaping tablespoon
fuls Of -four and little salt. The -four
and salt are mixed and placed in a
bowl. Make we'll in the center and
break in the eggs and stir gradually,
smooth batter. Beat for 10 minutes, add
the rest of the milk, cover and let stand
for an hour or more.
It's Expensive.
Caviar is, Of course, ranked with the
more expensive table delicacies. How
ever, very little caviar goes q long
way. An ounce glass Of it could be used
for or 10 small sandwiches or canapes
It comes In tins, in glass jars with
tin tops and in earthen jars, and is
usually labeled Russian caviar-thiS In
spite of the fact that within late years
really good caviar has been made here
in the United States. It is also made in
various European countries besides Rus
sia-but the old prejudice persists, prob
ably not without good reason, and So
Russia continues to be the source Of the
best caviar, just as France is the source
Of the best pate do foie gras.

A catering oficial employed by one
Of the large transatlantic steamship
lines commented the other day on the
fact that they were obliged now to
carry . great deal more caviar on board
their large ships than they ever did
before. It is the American travellers
who demand it, especially Americans
going home.
The idea Is, apparently, that they
have become acquainted with caviar
and other European delicacies during
their stay ON the Continent and must
Recently one woman ordered caviar
for breakfast, luncheon and dinner
throughout her homeward passage.
Perhaps Europeans imagine that
Americans have never had an oppor-
tunity to sample good caviar until 60
ing abroad and perhaps some Ameri-
cans have, in fact, first tasted it in
France or Italy or England. But doubt
less this is because they have not been
about in their own country rs much
as they are now getting about in Eu-
Of fare Of most Of the large hotels, and
It can be bought at almost any large
provision store.
In Canapes.
A favorite way of serving caviar is In
the form Of canapeS for the first course
OF dinner. In an elaborate course din
uer these canapeS come as the first
course, followed by oysters or other
shellfish and then the soup. II you
wish, however, you may serve canapes
as q f1rst course or hors d'oeuvre d.
rectly followed by the soup or the roast
course.
Caviar canapes are easy to make.
Buy the caviar paste and open Just
before needed. Cut slices of bread a
long and toast to an even brown.
Spread the hot toast with caviar paste
and then sprinkle each with a few
drops Of lemon juice and q little pap

COTTAGE SCENE OF
CHRISTMAS PARTY

Two hundred children were made
happy Wednesday afternoon at a
Christmas. party given for them at
the Americanization cottage by
Mrs. Evalena Moore and her Sun
day school class of the Presbyter-
ian church.
So anxious were the children TO
be on time that they arrived one
hour early, and the yard was pack
ed with eager youngsters, to the
CONSERVATION of the hostesses who
wondered if there would be enough
gifts to go around.
Thanks to Mrs. Moore and her
class, and to number of other Or
ganizations as well as private in
dividuals, there was a present for
every child and apples and candy
| for all
Mrs. Moore and her class brought
wonderfully decorated Christmas
tree and little Rosemary Daniels
acted as Santa Claus.
Another gift, possibly unappreci-
ated by the children, was that OF
money for a cod liver oil fund, do
mated by the w. c. T. U. for the
benefit Of the undernourished
children. Argyrol also will be pur-
chased with this money, and it is
gift sadly needed by many of the
