All rtohts rtttrvtd. rpHE flavor in the meat depends en tirely upon the nitrogenous sub stances called extractives; so called because they can be extracted or drawn out by soaking the meat in cold -water. The quality and quan tity of these extractives vary with the condition of the animal. The older- animals usually contain a larger percentage than the younger ones. 'These extracts have little real nu tritive value in themselves, but they are -aluable in causing a free flow of the digestive juices. Now that we understand that the meat contains extractives for flavor and that these arc soluble in cold water, when cooking this meat we must keep constantly in mind the fact that we do not wish to have all, the, goodness in the liquid, gravy or bro'th, and that we do wish to confine this flavor to the meat. If we wish to hold this flavor in the meat then it becomes necessary to sear the surface of the meat, cither by direct contact with the flame or by plunging the meat in boiling water.

It spoils more quickly than mutton and for this very reason it requires much care and careful handling. The color of the fat on the back and around the kidneys is the best test as to quality. Spring lamb is usually in season from March, and is at its best from May to July. All cuts are similar to those of mutton. Hothouse lamb is in season from early in February and March. It is'u'sually sold in fore and hind quar ters only. To tell the genuine lamb, break the knuckle, joint in the fore or Thind quarter; if this knee or 'leg joint shows clearly four saw-like teeth, you may rest assured that the meat is lamb.

Well. I haven't seen the sailor's face from that day to this. Only a few weeks ago I met a friend of his. Naturally I asked him If he saw my friend lately. "Why, he's married." he said. Maybe that wasn't some sur prise for me I I couldn't believe my cars, honestly. I asked no more about him, but couldn't sleep that night thtnklnr of him. Since then I learned thst he had been engaged for more than a year. ' Now, "Very Lonely," don't you think this case Is as bad as yours. If not worse7 I think your friend was more honorable to tell you he was engaged. Do as Cynthia, tells you go to dances and you'll meet some nice boys that will be glad to make your ac quaintance.

I heard a very clever young- woman express herself on this point recently.

Whllo not entirely ngreclng with my young friend becauso of having seen various gentlemen who might bo suspected of somo fifty-odd engaged In, tho pursuit of tho young but not necessarily their own grandchildren.
