Today we are offering you two spe-
cial recipes, one using the fowl and
one the young chicken-both Tor
dressier occasions. So no matter which
way your budget tends, you can have
. new and interesting main dish Tor
your next party.
LAYERED PRESSED CHICKEN.
A very simple yet delicious way to
serve chicken for buffet meal or
luncheon salad which could constitute
the main course of any meal is layered
pressed chicken The best type OF
chicken to purchase for this dish is
the fowl. Many people have the term
fowl confused with other terms which
actually refer to other chickens.
Technically speaking, the fowl is bird
over one year Of age. 1t may weigh
from 2i2 pounds up depending upon
the breed. The keel bone is hard and
the connective tissues are SO well de-
veloped that very rich, fine stock
can be made from it. More flavor Is
to be found in the muscle Of mature
birds When you choose the fowl at
the butcher shop ask the butcher to
save the legs which he cuts of for
you. Skin these legs as you would
peach by scalding for about minutes
in boiling water and pulling of the
outer skin The leg is very rich IN the
material which yields gelatin on cock
ing in water Cook with the other
parts OF the chicken. You will ind
that the stock does not need to be re-
duced nearly as much because OF the
richness now in gelatin which causes
liquid to set or "jell" when chilled.
LAYER PRESSED CHICKEN.
l medium size cooked fowl.
ard-cooked eggs.
Concentrated stock.
Il cup finely chopped parsley.
Cook the chicken until very tender.
The giblets. heart. liver and gizzard
can be added to the dark meat when
the meat is ground. Liver takes only
a few minutes to cook. If you are
cooking them with the rest OF the
chicken remove the liver as soon As
it is tender The heart and gizzard
will require much more cooking for
tenderness. II you do not care for
the flavor OF the giblets with the rest
of the meat they will make delicious
dish in combination with vegetables
to be served on another day e
Remove skin and bones from the
cooked chicken. Separate light and
dark meat Chop light and dark
meat, whites and yolks separately and
all rather fine. Moisten each Of the
four with chicken stock. Taste each
and season more If necessary Ar

BONED CHICKEN, A
DELIGHT TO ALL.

There Is nothing more delicious and
attractive OH the platter than a small
young chicken roasted after the bones
have been removed. Contrary to the
most common opinion, the boning
process Is very simple. Your butcher
can do it for you. An appropriate
stuffing plumps up the bird and sea-
sons and keeps the meat moist. One
Of the fastest dressings is made by
mixing the chopped liver, about l
ounce Of sausage meat, q few bread
crumbs, finely minced onion, and salt
and pepper About !, to u cup of
dressing Is sufficient for the smallest
bird. about l to l Il pounds. Turn the
bird skin side down and put dressing
in center OF breast. Fold the skin
from each side to the center and over
lap. Fold down the neck skin stretch
ing it as far as it will 60 comfortably.
Turn the bird skin side up Tie a
couple OF cords around the body to
hold the skin, bird and stuffing in
place. while the oven heat is setting
the shape. The cord should be clipped
before the roasting Is done to avoid
marking the skin
Bake in boat made Of parchment
or well creased paper. The sides
should not come up any farther than
the height Of the chicken (after the
shape is set or the skin will not
brown. Turn the ends (at neck and
leg ends) under and the boat is formed
which keeps the juices in and retains
definite shape, too. Bake in a mod
crate $50 degree Fahrenheit oven for
about u to a hour depending on size.
The legs will stick up little in an
impudent manner after cooking. If
frills are available they may be slipped
over the ends Of the legs just before
serving
In serving 1t may be carved in sew
eral ways: In half lengthwise If the
bird is small Il to ~ pounds pur-
chased weighD; in fourths, length
wise and crosswise q u to 2 pounds)
or, in thin slices lengthwise II the bird
is larger (2l2 pounds purchased
weighD after the legs and wings have
been cut of. Whatever the size. it is
nice to put the parts back together to
resemble its out-of-oven appearance.
When purchasing the chicken. don't
forget to ask your butcher for all the
parts; the bones will make nice stock
and the giblets and neck may be used
for another day.

on relief, We decided that the time
was ripe for us to become human
guinea-pig and find out the inside
story on the new coiffures.
So-intrepidly We sailed forth. bent
upon putting our emotions under a
flgurative microscope and determined
to find out just what the attraction
of the up-sweep might be. Armed
with the courage Of our cause and the
bravado induced by three lemonades
We gave our best to the cause. There
is nothing to it. we reasoned, and
when it's over we'll know.
'Twould be bit Of prevarication to
say that such bravado held out. Once
seated in the@chair and ready for the

Drowned in deluge of wave To-

gasped at the image in the mirror.
Ears stuck out like horns, neck seemed
to bear resemblance to an ostrich-but
the coiffure was definitely knock

error. Our noble experiment was

Seriously, however we learned a

hair was being piled sky high. First
and foremost is the theme Of modi-

straggly wisps, the severe baroness that
accompanied the first efforts. In
their place have come coiffures def

is softness at the nape of the neck,
f1attering waves and curls that are
becoming to almost every one. The
new modes are definitely more at

1t is interesting to see the way the
new coiffures have affected fashion,
too. Due to the new hair styles, skirt

The year 1888 will go down in fashion

sweep or not to upsweep-that is the
question. Personally. we think the idea

impractical for daytime. However, our
opinion counts for less than nothing,

and admit defeat. Our efforts have
been for naught, our martyrdom in
vain. We still don't know whether
we like ours upswept or not-and We
certainly don't know whether you'll
like yours-but do try it. There's
nothing like it for making you feel
like new woman.
Will it last or won't it? Is it prac-

Dorothy Dix Says
There Are Five Great Mistakes
Women Make in Marriage.

Lets consider the hve great mistakes
that women make in marriage. First,
all Of their lives marriage has heen
the career they have aspired 10 follow.
yet they have never done single
thing toward preparing themselves for
it. The can opener and the cork
screw are the only two domestic imple-
ments with which the average bride
has any personal acquaintance. If
her souls salvation depended on it
she couldn't cook meal that wouldn't
kill an ostrich. She throws half Of
her husbands salary into the garbage
can, and the grounds in the coffee
pot would be grounds for divorce in
any domestic relations court
We romantically ascribe all of the
failures of marriage to heart affairs,
but in reality they are mostly the
result Of stomach trouble brought on
by young wives experimenting with
their husbands digestions. OF course,
in the end the wife does generally learn
how to cook and keep house, but by
the time she has done that she has
turned her husband into a chronic
dyspeptic and they have had 10 many
quarrels over the biscuit and the
leathery consistency Of the eggs at
breakfast that they are permanently
alienated from each other.
One OF the chief reasons why
widows are at such a premium in
marriage is because they have learned
to make comfortable home on their
first husbands pocketbooks.
The second mistake women make
in marriage is in being too possessive.
Most brides believe that there is some
thing in the marriage ceremony that
gives them a quit-claim deed to their
husbands and that thereafter they
own them body and soul. They think
that they can have a monopoly on
their husbands affections and that
they should not manifest even q
kindly interest In the mothers who
bore them.
They think they have right to
separate their husbands from their
old friends and acquaintances; to keep
them from taking part in any Of their
former amusements; that their hus-
bands should never step out Of an
evening without them, and that they
have the privilege Of turning out
their husbands minds and seeing
what's in them Just Is they do their
bureau drawers.
Now, the thing that changes mar
