MRS. WILSON GIVES THE
HISTORY OF MUSTARD
!Ana Suggests Several If ays of Preparing This Spicy Condiment
l'. for Use With Meat and Fish
. By MKS. M. A. WILSON
tOcpuHaht, 1)10. te Mrs. U.. A. Wilsen.
All rlehit rtstrvtd.)
IjL SIA was the first te use mustard as
a condiment, and from there It
tulekly found its wny Inte Europe,
through Egypt. Mustard Is mentioned
,by rythogeras. nnd it was first used
Ha a medicine by Hippocrates in II.
O. 480. The old Remans used the oil.
pressed from the seed, for rubbing the
tlffcncd joints of the athletes: when
toiled with vinegar It was ucd for the
.flngs of serpents, scorpions and insects.
The first actual record of the use of
mustard as n condiment in England Id
found In the housebeok of the Duke of
Northumberland, during the reign of
Henry VII, where It is stated that 100
gallons of mustard seeds was the yearly
allowance for the duke's servants and
retainers.
Oerarde, the celebrated hrrbist, tells
Us, that the garden mustard of the white
feed variety was scarcely known at all
during the Elizabethan reign. Te in
troduce it at this time the seed was
freely distributed with the remarks that
taustard made a fine sauce, geed te be
tiltcn with meats nnd fish ; It sharpened
the nppetlte and promoted digestion
thus it was earnestly hoped te promote
.the Uke and create n demand for mus
Urd. . Before 1720. the present-day table
luxury, mustard, was unknown. The
usual procedure was te bruise the seed
by peundinc with n mortar and then
coarsely sift; in this rough state It
Was prepared for the table.
About 1720 a Mrs. Clements, of Dun
ham. England, began using a mill te
grind the mustard seed ; the mustard wa
passed tiireugn several processes similar
te that employed in making wheat Heur.
She kept this secret for many years and
during that time she owned the sole
. distribution for the United Kingdom.
Mrs. Clements traveled thrice yearly
te the city of Londen nnd the various
ether large cities, securing orders for
her prepared table mustard. King
Geerge 1 gave his royal approval of this
style of prepared mustard and this seen
tetde it the fasliiennble tnblc satire.
There are many distinct botanical
ipecies of this plant; the same powerful
and peculiar odor and flavor arise from
,the presence of nllyl. which is radical of
' the essential oils which contain sulphur.
Mustard, garlic, onions and horseradish
all contain this oil.
The English, te a limited extent.,
relish the mustard snuce. while the
French. Russian. Itnllan and Spanish
flavor their saverv dishes with garlic
and shallet: the Russian pensnnt fries
Ms black bread in oil with onions. How Hew
' ever, mustard is the favorite condiment
almost everywhere. Like salt, mustard
has given occasion te many prevcrbia
sayings, both ameug the nnc out nml
modern epicures. There Is the mils

Dear Cynthia May I transmit a mes

Uephlst, I agree with you, although It
appears te me that you yourself are net
In earnest concerning the statementn
wmen you mime, remaps it is Decause
of the flippancy of your expression. And
then, ngaln, perhaps you make these
statements In order te Impress us with
vnlli vn.nl,iifnf, rt .l-intf
Frankly, Sophist, you have succeeded
In arousing my curiosity. In fnct, you
have no Idea of hew much valuable time
I waste merely In speculating ns te the
sort of character you might be. I hardly
think that It Is an unusual type.
At any rate, I like you. Sophist, In
spite of your youth, egotism and slang.
I have a faint suspicion that, erdlnnrlly.
you are net In the habit of using It nr--i
se "1st off seme steam," as you would
say, In the selumn. RECLUSE.
Shall He Call?
Dear Cynthia Will you Idndly solve
this problem through your column?
I have a friend who new lives out
WcBt, who, before he moved there, lived
In a nearby BUburb.
He used te keen company with a clr!
te whom I have been Introduced since hr

tioning what I thought of th.s (Ml. .1
a return letter he agrees that she Is
a nlce girl and sends me one of her
cards with her nddrcss, which she had
given him. He has written his name
en the back pf the card, lie Invites me
te call en the girl. I would like te. but
de net knew whether or net It Is proper,
as I did net ask her If I might. The
girl lives uulte n distance from my home
nnd I don't see her very often.
J. IC C.
Write the girl a little nete asking If
you may call en her. Tell her that your
mutual friend, mentioning his name, has
suggested it and that you have been very
anxious te slnce you have met her nnd
hope she will permit It.

If you will "sheet the same Hue" wlti
