The Leading Millinery Store,

Lvcn This Prosaic Culinary Work litis
n Right and Wrong Way.
From tho Philadelphia Times.
Even In so simple a matter as tho
boiling of a potato there Is a right nnd
a wrong way, which followed out lead
to results as adverse as the methods of
preparation. The careless cook, after
a process which she calls "parln" "
during which she gouges and slashes
and robs the poor esculent of much of
Its nutritious elements puts It In a
kettle of cold water, because that is
handiest, sets It over the fire and leaves
It to chance whether It bolls dry nnd
escapes from Its martyrdom a seared
and'smoky accessory of dinner or cooks
until a sodden, pasty mess of frag
ment? that would tax the somewhat
vitiated taste of a mammlferous quad
ruped of the genus capra. That, need
less to say. Is the wrong way and this
Is the right"
Pare the potatoes with a sharp vege
table knife, just as thin as possible,
for that part of the tuber lying close to
the skin Is richest In mineral salts, and
put each potato as peeled Into a pan
of cold water to prevent discoloration.
Have ready, meanwhile, a kettle of
boiling water, and when the peeling
process Is complete take the potatoes
from the cold water, and covering them
with boiling salted water, set them on
the range, covered, to boll. Twenty
minutes will usually suffice, but to test
them use a skewer or fork, and when
they can be pletced easily remove nt
once from the fire, pour off all the
water, and set them on the back of the
range, uncovered, to steam dry. assist
ing that process occasslonally by a
slight shaking of tho kettle.
If one asks the reason why potatoes
should always be cooked In boiling
water, try the following experiment for
proof: Take two cups.ln each of which
has been put a teaspoonful of ordinary
starch. Pour over one a quarter of a
cupful of boiling water and over the
other the same quantity of cold water
and observe the result. The one over
which the boiling water was poured
stays In shape, a compact mass, while
the one with the cold water dissolves
Into a soft paste. The potato Is largely
composed of starch, and from this trial
any one may draw his own conclusions.
If you wish a pulpy, watery potato,
use cold water, but If a dry, mealy,
snowy ball that would delight the heart
of Epicurus himself, always use boiling
water. N
To serve boiled potato mashed, add
to every quart of the mashed potato
two tablespoonfuls of butter, a tea
spoonful of salt, one-half of a salt
spoonful of pepper, and hot cream or
milk to moisten. Then beat until light,
white, and creamy, and serve piled
lightly on a dish, but never packed
down and smoothed over, as was the
wont of our grandmothers.

Dr. Edwird P. Davla by his attract
ive subject, "The New Woman," gath
ered a large and Interested audience
yesterday afternoon at the Acorn club,
1424 Walnut street, says the Philadel
phia Times. The lecturer did not long
leave his audience In the dark as to
how he regarded his subject. He Is un
qualifiedly In favor of the up-to-date,
progressive woman.
"The new woman has physical ad
vantages her sister of an older genera
tion never had," ho said, "and by us
ing them she has prolonged her life
by years. Then she has revolutionized
cooking, and done more good to hu
manity than a hundred medical col
leges. She has let the soup pot take
the place of the frying pan, and dys
peptics are disappearing. She takes
exercise, and she wears loose clothing,
too, If she Is a really sensible new wo
man." The doctor did not think that
the bars of delicacy had been let down
by this exercising, but thought that
If unythlng woman now had greater
benslblltty than her older, more
squeamish, but not more delicate sister
of the last generation.
