Right Plates or
Dishes for Soup
Fashions DEGREES Will Be
Observed by Wise
Hostess.

With the return to style of soup
plates it is important for the home
maker to be acquainted with the diff
ferent kinds of soups best suited to
being served In them, and In bouillon
cups. also called soup cups. The
very name, bouillon, indicates the
kind Of soup Originally intended to
be served in these cups. The word
is French for clear soup or beef
broth. Fashion decreed for some
time that all varieties of soup should
be served in these bouillon cups, but
now there is return to the more
proper method, Of suiting the soup
to the dishes.
The chief distinction in suitability
of soups to serve in cups or In plates
is their density. Clear soups, even
though they may not be strained as
Is bouillon or consomme, but have
some solid pieces Of ingredients in
them, are the sort to be served in
cups. Cream soups and heavy soups
such as chowders, oyster and other
stew soups, ETC.. should be served
in soup plates. When soup is in
cups, there is the inference that they
may be slipped as well as taken with
spoons. Heavy soups cannot be so
slipped, and there should be no hint
in the way it is served that such an
inconsistency is considered.
Serving thin soup in plates is not
a faux pas. The first return of style
in serving such soup in plates was
when glass soup plates appeared.
Clear soup showed off the beauty of
the glass most advantageously, and
was served in it. Therefore the
young homemaker need not have
both cups and soup plates, but may
with propriety, use soup plates for
all soups. The same cannot be said
any longer Of bouillon cups.
Clear soups must be of sufficient
strength to make the watery liquid
full favored. Meat is the recognized
essence to be Impaired. Chicken
lamb, and beef broth are delicate
and delicious when properly made
The fresh meat, Of whichever kind
is covered with water brought to
boil and then allowed to simmer until
the water has become rich in flavor
from the meat juices. Salt and pep
per are the condiments to use.s II
an onion is cooked in the water. nc
particles should remain in the sour
when served. Also all fat should be
SKINNED off.
Consomme can be made from, 2
combination of meats such as chick
en- and a ham bone. knuckle of yea
and beef soup meat, etc. With the
meat are boiled and simmered yege
tables, such as celery, carrots, tur
nip; and the condiments Of salt ant
pepper may be augmented with 8
very little mace and cloves. one blade
Of mace or one-eighth teaspoonfu
and four to six cloves are sufficient
for four pounds of the combined
meats and four quarts of cold wa
ter. Consomme is strained and may
be clarified by straining through 6

 meet selling pressure. This devel- oped shortly after II a. m. U. s. Smelling dropped to 132 7--S for
