fuls of fat and adding two cupfuls OF
hot water. Stir until thick and smooth.
Return the meat to the pan. The
gravy should cover it. Put into mod
crate oven and bake until the meat Is
tender and the liquid is absorbed. Re-
move the meat to a hot platter and
make a pan gravy by adding a little
milk. Cook until it thickens slightly,
stirring constantly. Serve as an ac-
compartment to the meat, with parsley
potatoes, banana fritters and cole slaw.
Swiss Steak.-Sift half cupful Of
-four with one and one-half teaspoon
fuls of salt, a pinch of pepper and
beat thoroughly into three pounds Of
lean beef about two and one-han
inches thick with meat FOUNDER. The
beating makes the meat more tender
and the, -four absorbs the juice. Cut
the steak into individual portions If
desired. Scar the meat in three table
spoonfuls Of melted suet in a heavy
skillet or kettle Cover with two and
one-half cupfuls of hot tomato juice
and pulp or hot water, adding more If
necessary. Place a cover on the cook
ing utensil and simmer for two hours
or until the meat Is so tender that it
can be cut with fork. Turn the
pieces occasionally during the cooking.
II the gravy becomes too thick add
more liquid from time to time. There
should be plenty of rich gravy to serve
over the meat. Onions may be Drowned
and cooked with the meat If desired.
Serve very hot.
Virginia Fried Chicken.-Cut young
chicken into pieces and rub with salt,
pepper and -four Fry in hot fat to
half cover the chicken until light
brown. Serve with a cream gravy and
waff1es
If you fear that your chicken is
little too large for quick frying. make
it tender in the following way: After
cutting it up as usual, cover it with
boiling water then drain. Cover again
and drain. Then salt 1t, roll in flour
and fry in plenty of fat. When every

Braised Beef With Raisins.-Select
about three pounds Of chuck or round
beef, and in order to make 1t more ten
der as well as to give 1t piquant flavor,
let 1t stand for several hours In a mari
made mixture made Of one tablespoonful
of sugar, one Of oil, three Of vinegar,
one teaspoonful Of salt, one-fourth tea
spoonful of pepper Turn the meat
from time to time, as these marinades
are most useful in the cooking of less
expensive meats. The vinegar makes
the flesh more tender, the oil forms a
seal apd keeps out the air, and the
three seasonings improve the flavor.
Now scar the beef In a hot frying pan
or heavy kettle; add two tablespoonfuls
Of vinegar and one teaspoonful Of sugar,
cover closely, simmer an hour, add one

cooking until tender. Remove the meat,

In this way: Have chopped together one
pound chuck or round Of beef and one
half pound Of lean pork Add one small
chopped onion, one finely chopped green
pepper and one chopped pimento. Sea-
son with one teaspoonful Of salt, one and
one-half teaspoonfuls of sugar and one
fourth teaspoonful each of pepper and
paprika. Add one cupful of soft bread
crumbs and one egg, well beaten. Mix
well and make into q loaf, over which
1t is good to sift two tablespoonfus Of
-four and one teaspoonful each of salt
and sugar. Place in a pan in a hot
oven and roast dry for fifteen or twenty
minutes, SO that a nice outer crust may
form by the cancellation of the sugar
mixed with the salt and -four. This
will help 1t retain the meat juices and
keep 1t moist-a most important point
when cooking q meat loaf

smart modern brass or pewter and in
expensive pottery or glass unique In
shape and charming in color. And
one may, above all things, have a
lovely tea service for that rite which
is perhaps the most gracious gesture Of
the hostess.
The point is to strive for a good
effect within the limits set by the In
dividual pocketbook, taking ones cue,
however, from appointments that ex-
press the fullest measure Of beauty and
quality.
On small table arranged for the
hostess should be placed the necessary
things, among them as pretty a tea
cloth as the home can offer; an ample
tray to hold the important pieces-tea
pot, waste bowl, sugar and creamer.
cups and saucers with spoons in place,
and lemon thinly sliced. Tea plates
with tea napkins between them may
stand at one side. For refreshments
1t is sufficient to present few bonbonS
such as candied orange peel, ginger,
mints Or stuffed dates; a plate of very
thin sandwiches or tea cakes. which
may be homemade or those that
come in package form. Even tiny crisp
pretzels are welcome at the tea table.
The ideal menu contains no trouble
some concoctions, but Is such that in
any well managed home 1t can be as
sembled on a moments notice.
When one has not the luxury Of
servant. it is good plan to keep the
tea tray always in readiness so that
the only further attention necessary Is
the brewing of the tea and the few
motions required for making the sand
wiches or arranging cakes and bonbons
Tea must never seem to be an effort.
II it cannot be whisked into the living
room by a trim little maid and placed
before the hostess, then 1t must be
managed by the home-maker with as
little fuss and time out as possible.
Or II there Is q young daughter In
the house-any age from 10 to teen
age-let her be encouraged to prepare
the tea tray and bring it in to Mother
and her guests. It Is excellent train
ing which will find full compensation
when the young girl finds herself the
experienced hostess, serving tea to her
own friends.

that Egan wrote:

In the battles that followed,
sometimes the first fly resulted
in q fatal blow.
At other times, contests were

The weapons of the fighters

They smooth the ruffled feath-

with human saliva, at the points

He spreads his wings, almost

Off the pit floor he goes, as If

Cats are real upright. There Is

The Head Is Pointed
The head of each Is not heavy
and coarse. as the tenderfoot
might expect. On the contrary,
the head is pointed. The beak is
stout. with bit of crook to 1t.
The neck, despite its unusual
length, is strong. The long neck
is by nature that way so that if
the antagonist directs gaffs
against it, twill be difficult for
an antagonist to reach it. This
gives an advantage in protecting
the cock. yet uncovers the weak
neSSeS Of the foeman.
The very attitude Of each
gamecock spells pugnacity.
Spurs are tied on, as Egan has
said, Sin a most delicate and
neat manner" The spurs (or
gaflleS, or gaffs or heels) are
needle-like weapons, usually an
