LA] way of managing, then, depends somewhat upon the structural differ- ences, and only one or two methods are 'capable of universal application. All the West Indian methods con- demn the use of a silver knife. Steel may spoil an apple and a peach is no better tor its touch but an orange's flavor is not impaired by its contact, whereas the skin is too tough to be put by anything so dull as silver. The knife, then, should be steel, thin and very sharp, the test of! Its fitness being to cut through a seed imbedded in the flesh without tearing. A young Cuban advocated the use of such a knife in cutting the skin around in a spiral like a Hallow-en apple, leavng only enough of its white linng to keep the pulp togeth- er. He then let the juice drop into a cup and drank it, eating the pulp later. Drinking juice, however, is no more eating an orange than drinking cider is eating an apple! An Individual Fashion The wife of the Governor of St. Kitts had a fashion of her own. She cut the orange through, from stem to blow, into six or eight sections, picked the seeds out with a knife, cut the pulp away from tht skin and ate the pieces as gracefully as pos- ”nan um. nnlv trmilhle was the loss The most picturesque method is to place the orange on a fork, cut the shin all off except a small circle at the fork end and then with a very sharp knife begin cutting towards the core, taking out each three-corneryl wedge of flesh and 1eaving.the white membranous walls which separate the sections. This takes a keen edge and some care, but it is not at all dif- ficult to do. It keeps the full flavor of the fruit in all its delicacy and, it the skin cup is carefully handled, it can he performed without much spil- ling bf the juice. If well done, it is an artistic achievement and when completed, the fork, with the denuded tistsuets.rt1pon.it' will look like an emaciated Dutch Wind mill. cut the orange thl to blow, into six l picked the seeds cut the pulp away ate the pieces as t sible.

Yet a thorough study of the question shows that the proper method de- pends somewhat upon the kind of orange that it to be eaten. It must be realized that there are almost as many varities of oranges as ot ap- ples and among growers their varie- ties are recognized and their: char- acteristcs discriminated just as the northerner distinguishes a King from a Baldwin or a Pound Sweet from a Pippin. What is the best way of managing, then, depends somewhat upon the structural differ- ences, and only one or two methods are capable of universal application. mo cro The arrangefent of the coiffure is important also.

This not only means great saving of fuel, but great saving of time as well. since it is not neces- sary to watch the kettle for so long a time and no stirring or replenish- ing ot liquids is necessary as with long boiling. The pressure cooker is not only valuable for general cooking pur- poses during the entire year, but it is "a friend, indeed," during the can- ning season. Fruits, vegetables and meats can be canned in much less time and with less fuel than by any other method. _ _ tures may be more easily cont ' than with ordinary cooking Sting;- The heat /0eftssarsr 'tir ttPti, steam for cooking is obtained ,. placing the cooker over a gas, 1rit'id sene or electric burner or on a wiid or coal range.

" How does it happen? The explana- tion is simple enough. The cooking is done in a steam-tight vessel. Whenever steam is not allowed to escape as it forms, it creates pres- sure and this pressure raises the temperature. This means that food can be made much hotter in the pres- sure cooker than in an ordinary ket- tle with a loose-fitting lid. When the temperature goes up, the time re- quired tor cooking is shortened; for The cooker is in the form ot a heavy aluminum kettle with a spec- ially fitted cover which clamps, tight ly in place to prevent the escape of steam. The cover is fitted with a safety valve and stop cock 1by which pressure is regulated.

The home kitchen has gone to school to the factory, and cooking by steam is bereoming a common :prac- tice in many households. A piece of tough meat need no longer run up the fuel bill in the cooking, tax the dexterity of father in the carving, or the teeth of the family in the eating.

It rings cannot be removed, the stone should be turned to the inside of the hand and covered by the thumb, so that silk, threads will not be caught. C ..

The title is "Facts About Silk Stockings", and the information given is as follows: Thevchief enemy ot silk hosiery is soil from perspiration and dust-al- so leather stain from shoe lining. Therefore, they should not be worn a second time without washing. In order to ensure long life, silk stockings should be washed shortly after removal. _ For washing, use warm water and Ivory soap. Dry indoors away from strong daylight, to avoid fading ot, colors. Do not dry on steam radiators or with arti- ficial heat.

China does not lag far behind the countries that have made concessions to women, said Miss Tcheng.
