Ducks Appearing in Local Markets

with soft breast bones and fresh
colored, brittle beakS. There
should be no odor.
In deciding on the market Or
der. be more generous than for
roast chicken. The proportion OF
meat to bone is slightly less than
that found in chicken.
If your ducklings weigh about
three pounds, allow one-half bird
for each serving.
The dressing served with the
duck is very important. 1t in
creases the number of servings
and often proves as popular as the
meat.
The choice meat is the breast
and the legs. The wings are small.
The problem of carving is one
that need not be difficult. The
legs of the duck are further back
on the body than chicken. If the
bird is young, after the wings and
legs are severed for one portion,
the dressing should be served
with the portions Of the meat.
Make the incision for this just
under the breast bone. The choice
portion is the breast Make the
most of this by cutting in long
thin slices. Commence as close to
the wing as possible.
In preparing for roasting, re-
move the pin feathers, SINCE, wipe
with damp cloth both outside and
in, and dry. Be sure that all in.
trails have been removed. Stuff
the inside with dressing (be sure
that you have enough to give a
smooth, plump appearance). Then
thread a trusting needle with the
Irvine.
Fasten the wings of the duck
close to the body. Fasten the legs
together at the other end. Close
the opening at the breast. Dust
with salt and pepper. Place in the
roasting pan in a hot oven at SOC
degrees for Is minutes to scar

There is so much fat just under
the skin that there is no need fol
Harding before roasting. For the
same reason, you can use water
or a third cup of currant jelly
melted in a small amount OF water
to haste rather than use butter.
The dressing used for the duck
is very important. The Dutch
method of serving is to stuff with
sauer kraut, sprinkle with granu
lated sugar and bake until the
duck is tender and golden brown
Apple dressing is also used fire

She will not consider forgiveness.
Why can't she understand that
we did this to save her from shame
and gossip?
"Our worry is also fathers, who
has taken to drink. He's such a
good man at heart that we could
forgive him. Tell us If we did
right or wrong when we told him
of mothers infidelity."
1.-TWO DAUGHTERS"
It's pretty hard to say whether
you did the right or wrong thing
in telling your father. Your mo-
tiveS were, of course, the best.
You wanted to stop gossip and the
complications resulting from this
affair.
But whether you would not have
accomplished more in reasoning
with your mother than in going
to your father with the story, it's
hard to say.
At the present time, the up
heaval is too fresh in her mind to
regard you and your sister with
anything but anger. But t m e
washes out so many things that
I've no doubt there may be a rec
onciliation later, even if the old
relationship among you is never
quite the same.
HindSight is easier to hand out
than foresight, and on the whole,
I think it would have been wiser
to have talked to her instead of
to your father.

The best form to use when in
Producing a man to a woman is,
Mrs. Allen, may 1 present Mr..
BROWNE" or MRS. Allen, may 1
introduce Mr.. BROWNE" This is
an especially good form to use
when you are introducing man
to an older woman. 1T has dis
tinction and appropriate courtesy.
And this form is always correct.
However, if you wish the intro
duction to be more casual, you
may mention only the names,
Mrs. Allen, Mr.. Brown" or MRS.
Allen, do you know Mr.. BROWNE"
or Miss Graham, this is Mr..
Thomas Brown"

One does not have to be broad

to feel that nudist shows and

some and common. To put it on

of the beautiful-not one person

Painters and sculptorS correct
body defects with brush and
chisel. But sunlight and electric
ity do not soften excess of human
blubber or raw skinniness.
