ENCLOSE THIS COI’PON WITH YOUR
LETTER
By May Irwin,
the Best Cook on the American Stage.
W HEN you are tired of the
routine breakfast, or when
your husband, father or
brother complains of Its monotony,
introduce the Innovation of tripe and
oysters. It will fit nicely into this
breakfast.
One goblet of orange juice.
(Baked apple, rhubarb or apple
sauce, if you prefer it).
Tripe and oysters.
Muffins.
Coffee.
Tripe and oysters are a delicate
and delicious breakfast dish when
well prepared. Cut tripe into small
pieces. Scrape well, taking all the
bits off. and boil three hours in salt
and water until the tripe is tender.
Drain the water through a colander.
Then plump your oysters. Plump--
ing your oysters—I stop here to ex
plain to the young or inexperienced
cook—consists in stewing the oysters
for five minutes in the same liquor
in w r hich they were brought from the
fish market, until the oyster swells
to nearly double its size. Put the
tripe into a porcelain-lined vessel
until it comes to a boil. Add two
tablespoons of butter and one of
flour, creamed—that is, beaten to
gether—and flavor with paprika, a
dash of red pepper and salt to taste.
Add the oysters and one-half cup of
sweet cream. Serve on thin, crisp,
buttered toast made of stale home
made bread.
My favorite muffins are made of
two cups of flour, two eggs, one cup
of milk, one teaspoonful of flour,
baking powder, sugar, one heaping
teaspoon of baking powder, one-half
teaspoon of salt, one tablespoon of
butter. Sift the flour, salt, baking
bone, using very little water. Strip
the meat from the bones. Cut it up
in a fine chopping tray. Add jreen
peppers, chopped finely, and Spanish
peppers to taste, also chopped fine;
one small onion—so small that you
hardly know it’s there—at first; cold
boiled potatoes, also chopped in a
bowl ;paprika and a dash of nutmeg,
black pepper and salt to taste. Into
an old-fashioned frying-pan put the
liquor left from the chicken. Drop
the bits of chicken into the liquor.
As soon as the liquor boils up, add
one cup of thick cream, a little but
ter, and flour stirred in to slightly
thicken.
For Southern corn pone, take two
cups of yellow cornmeal, one cdp of
flour, two teaspoons of baking pow
der, two cups of milk, one table
spoon of lard, one tablespoon of but
ter and two eggs. Beat the eggs and
add the milk. Sift the flour, salt
and baking powder together, add the
milk and eggs, and beat well. Bake
in a moderate oven.
One goblet orange juice.
Frizzled beef.
Short bread.
Coffee.'
Get best smoked beef. Slice quan
tity desired into small, thin pieces
and pour over these boiling water
for not longer than a second. Pour
through a colander, draining the
water thoroughly from it. This re
moves the brinelike taste from the
eef, leaving it a softer, more deli
cate flavor. Put the beef into a fry
ing pan together with a tablespoon
ful of flour, a lump of butter as
large as a walnut, and half a tea
cup of cream. Add one and a half
cups of milk, salt and black pepper
to taste.
For short bread, use one quart of
flour, two tablespoons of lard, one
tablespoon of butter, three tea
spoons of baking powder, one tea
spoon of salt. Mix the flour, baking
powder and salt together. Rub the
butter and lard well into the flour
and mix with cold milk to the con-'
sistency of biscuit dough. Bake on
a griddle on top of the stove. 4
often use this recipe for strawberry
shortcake. Splitting the crust and
buttering it generously makes it a
delicious basis for any shortcake.
This, like the foregoing, is a sub
stantial preparation for a hard day’s
work: ^
One goblet orange juice.
Ham and .
Griddle cakes.
Coffee.
For “ham and mix a cupful
of finely chopped ham, half a cup of
bread crumbs, one teaspoon of
chopped parsley, one teaspoon of
butter, a quarter of a teaspoon of
fresh mustard, and enough hot milk
to make a smooth, soft paste. Spread
this in buttered scallop shells, break
an egg into each shell and sprinkle
with buttered crumbs. Bake in- a
quick oven until the crumbs are
brown and the white of the egg firm.
This is an appetizing way of using a
little left-over ham. Also its econ
omy recommends it. My “Ham and
—” does not include beans.
For my favorite griddle cakes I
use three cups of flour, one and a
half pints of milk, one teaspoon of
salt, two teaspoonfuls of baking
powder and three eggs. Beat the
eggs and add to the milk. Sift to
gether the flour, baking powder and
salt. Add to the milk and eggs, amj,
beat well.

powder and sugar together; beat the
eggs until very light, add them to
the milk, then sift the flour and
other ingredients into the milk and
eggs. Melt the butter and add it to
the mixture. Put into the muffin
tins and bake for twenty-five min
utes in a hot oven.
Here is a variant of the routine
breakfast menu:
One goblet orange juice.
(Or stewed fruit, if you prefer—
say, apricots.
Oatmeal.
Chicken hash.
Southern corn pone.
Coffee.
If you insist upon your fat-form-
in'g (though Strength-making) oat
meal, at least cook it in a double
boiler; letting if simmer all of the
day before serving, and do not crush
it to destroy the form of the grain.
There is no more palatable break
fast dish than chicken hash when
properly cooked. Improperly
cooked, it is as palatable as sawdus
or' the tasteless dry toast so regu
larly recommended by the diet doc
tors.
The chicken should be cut up and
dropped into cold water and cooked
slowly until the meat falls from the

By Mrs. Frank Learned
T
rHE true meaning of etiquette, or
good form, may be defined briefly
by stating that it includes the
■whole range of good manners, good breed
ing and politeness. The essential thing
to understand is that courtesy, considera
tion for others and unselfishness are the
Sources from which good form springs.
True politeness comes from a kind heart,
a ready sympathy, an instinctive tact, a
wish to please, an unwillingness to hurt,
another's feelings and a desire to pu* other
people perfectly at ease,
i Although a kindly nature and an un
selfish spirit are never lacking in cour
teous behavior, a thorough understanding
of the conventionalities of society help to
give a finish and completeness to the whole
personality. Tact and natural refinement
count for much in one not accustomed to
society, but cannot supply the want of
knowledge of what is the correct thing to
do under all circumstances.
We hear much and see much of the
decadence of manners in the present day.
In the haste and rush of modern existence
we are in danger of losing many of the
graces that make life pleasant and har
monious. We are told that there iB little
time to practise politeness and that the
finer qualities of behavior have disappear
ed. or they are hidden beneath a mass of
laracteristics which may be very practl-
! and useful but do not beautify life,
'any persons seem to imagine that it is
redit to themselves to appear to be
vjys in a hurry, very busy, and that to
i -isurely is either old-fashioned or ln-
iictes a la«k of engagements. They for
, that to take time to be polite is one
if the requirements of good breeding.
'otne persons say that manners are now
.note frankly selfish.” This statement is
„ i absolute avowal of retrogression. Self-
i -iiness always destroys progress of any
■ort. Most persons are striving to im
prove. Even the self-seeking should re
member that good manners are an ele
ment of success in every career. Care
lessness in manners leads rapidly to rude
ness and soon the careless person offends
others and becomes unpopular.
The optimist declares that, although man
ners are less ceremonious than in the past
and are “somewhat hasty to match our
rate of motion," that the right principle
remains, because good manners are from
the heart and the hearts of the present
generation are in the right place. This
is a hopeful view. It may serve to re
mind the thoughtless that the graces of
courtesy are the outward and visible signs
of the Inward graces which no one can
afford to lose.
Those who have advantages of genera
tions of transmitted culture, will, as a gen.
eral rule, be found to be courteous, affable,
and with a true simplicity of manner.
When one attempts to describe the charm
of a certain person it is something almost
intangible, vague and delusive. The per
son may not be remarkable for beauty,
for brilliancy in conversation, or for great
intelligence, but there is a rare gracious
ness in manner, a lack of self-conscious
ness or effort, a considerateness and
thoughtfulness in every word or action.
Social life has evolved necessary con
ventionalities. The present code of good
form has been constructed from the cul
ture and refinement of years. Society at
its best should offer a high standard of
excellence and encourage an improvement
in manners. If we are to live in harmony
and unity society must be made every
where a pleasant thing, and this is pos
sible only through obedience to the laws
of that etiquette
which governs the
entire machinery and
keeps every thing
running along
smoothly and com
fortably. The dig
nity of the individual
and the comfort of
the community is the
object of these laws,
where each one Is
treated with respect
and each one Is too
self-respecting to
neglect social duties.
Those who disregard
these things show
that they are not in
the ranks of the most
highly cultivated of
their time. Those
who are rude and
self - asserting pro
claim by their bad
manners the lack of
training as to obliga
tions which are con
sidered binding on
well-bred persons.
P r e t e n 11 ousness
never deceives one
who is well-bred.
People who affect to
despise manners,
who recognize no
distinction, or no
distinction worth noticing fiat
and bad manners, are themselves losers.
"Manners aim to facilitate life," writes
Emerson. “They aid our dealing and our
conversation. These forms very soon be
come fixed and a fine sense of propriety
is cultivated with the more heed that it
becomes a badge of social and civil dis
tinction.”
There is a right and a wrong 1
way of doing everything, no
matter how trivial this thing
may seem to be. The writing
of a note, the wording of an
invitation or a regret, the man
ner of bowing, the way we
walk in the street, enter a
room, greet a guest, sit at ta
ble. all indicate the degree or

the absence of good breeding,
the knowledge or ignorance of
good form. Forms, ceremonies
and observances are necessary,
therefore, not only to the well
being of society but the happi
ness and peace of mind of each
individual. Good manners and
•. good form may be acquired by
the constant practise at home and in
society of the many small courtesies and
acts which will enable one to gain a habit
of doing the correct thing.
Society in New York undoubtedly in
fluences the customs in other places and
is regarded as a representative source
of information. An increased value is be-

ing placed on etiquette, or the proper ob
servance of social customs. Many people
in our great country have been occupied
in making fortunes and they wish to know
what is expected of them in their new
conditions. They wish to learn the various
conventions about visiting, leaving cards,
note-writing, travelling, customs at the
table.
There is a growing demand for true
education in the hearts of men and wo
men all over the land. They wish to
train themselves and their children in a
wise and liberal spirit, to be guardians of
law and order, and they recognize that
manners and morals are closely connected;
in fact, that manners are an expression of
morals and morals are an expression of the
law. They are convinced that it is only
by'obedience to every small detail of law
in life that a fine character can be de
veloped and that the concrete expression
of manners, that is to say, in character,
is the crown and completion of every
life.

so taken possession of the man as to per

minutest details of life. They sweeten
social intercourse and contribute to hu
man happiness beyond all proportion to
the effort of self-discipline which they
cost. The true man will remember every
moment of his life the Scriptural precept,
'Be /courteous.’ ’’
