broiling and roasting.
Tough, Tasteless Meat the Result of
Ignorance of Cooking Methods.
If housewives understood more ful'y
the process of broiling, roasting ani
boiling, there would be less complaint
of tough, tasteless meat. The princi-
ples underlying all three methods is
identical; the difference lies in the
medium employed. In all, the object
to be attained is to first luickly sear
the exterior of the meat, thus coagu-
lating the surface albumen and eft'ect-
uaiiy sealing the Juices. T'.e cooking
then proceeds more slowly to a finish
the time required hinging, as a matter
of course, upon the size of the cut.
In broiling and in roasting, whiou
are in reality the same, the name de-
pending upon the nature of the piece
of meat, this hardening of the exterior
is accomplished by exposing the meat
to the direct action of the heat, which
must be intense enough to sear ifie
surface at once. When it is not, the
juices seep out, leaving the meat
tasteless and sacrificing its nutritive
qualities.
In boiling meat, surface coagulation
is attained by immersing the meat in
boiling water and keeping up the tem-
perature for a minute. One of the
preliminary rules of toiling, one which
should be indelibly impressed upon
every cook, is that water cannot be
heated to the proper temperature for
boiling (212 degrees in an open vessel
nor in one with an indifferently fitting
cover. Another point, equal in im-
portance to the first, is that when
water begins to boil, a quicker fire
than is absolutely necessary to keep
it boiling results merely in wastihg
the water in the form of steam and
so hardens the exterior of the meat as
to prevent the heat penetrating to the
interior.
made to work when every fiber in us
rebelled; but those hours, so tragic
then/ have faded away. It is our good
times that can be recalled at a mo-
ment's notice.
Children remember most distinctly
the people with whom they have had
delightful, times; if a grown-up wants
to endear himself to a child, let him
enter, heart and soul, into the child's
play. If mothers and fathers would
take the same care and interest in the
amusements of their children that
they take (if they are conscientious
parents) in their education, a closer
bond would be formed and the char-
acter of the children be influenced for
good in far reaching ways.
HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.
From the New Southwest.
The sensation of pleasure is more
easily remembered than the sensation
of pain,' say the psychologists. Who
is there, in recalling his childhood,
that cannot affirm this statement? It
was the fun we had, the royal good
times, care-free and jolly, that stand
out vividly in our memories. Of
course, we were punished at times,
disappointed at others, suffered defeat
and chagrin, were disciplined by being

Saturday Nights.
On school nights lessons and early
bedtime is the rule in well regulated
families, but on Saturday nights the
youngsters have a right to their fun.
Saturday night is a better time than
i- J"1 day, because it gives the children
chance to help in the preparations
for the party. It would be a good
Plan for the mothers of the neighbor-
hood to meet and discuss plans for
these parties, taking turns in enter-
taining the children, with the agree-
ment that there are to be no elaborate
preparations, and that the refresh-
ments are always to be simple. In
this way the natural tendency which
lays hold on the best of us to "outdo"
our neighbors, would be avoided.
But In whatever is to be done be-
forehand, let the children help. Half
the fun in home entertainments is the
getting ready, and ther is nobody
who enjoys such work more than a
.child does—if he takes it up in the
spirit of play. There is one all-im-
portant thing for the mother to keen
in mind; that there must be no frowns
and sighs nor ill-concealed boredness
on her part on the day when the party
is to be at her home. Such an atti-
tude will destroy the children's pleas-
nni r ♦twelr pricJo in thG party more
quickly than anything else. Sympa-
thy, patience and good humor must be
the guardian angels of her speech and
actions.
Old Fashioned Games.
Evenings of old fashioned games are
a splendid vent for the superfluous
energy of the younger children from
6 to 12. Move the lighter pieces of
furniture out of the room and let
them play "Pussy wants a corner' 'Lon
don bridge" and "Going to Jerusalem."
■then, in order to give them a little
rest before the refreshments are serv-
ed, start them to singing their old,
well-known kindergarten songs.
When the time comes to go out to
the dining room some pretty fashion
of alotting partners for the "grand
march" thither will add to the fun. If
the children are old enough to enj -y
matching rhymes or quotations, a
basket of slips of paper on which
these are written can be passed, each
child taking out a slip and going
around until he finds who has the e.id
of his rhyme or quotation. But the
younger ones may like matching ros-
ettes or colored tissue paper better;
if they are used, the basket should bj
covered up so that there will be ,o
chance of seeing what one's hand can
draw out. Many ingenious ways of
choosing partners will occur to any
one planning such a feature in the
evening.
For a last play before they go home
let the children have battledore and
shuttlecock in the hall and a game of
shuffleboard in the kitchen. If they
are not old enough to like shuffleboard
they will think a game of hop-skotch
great fun—and it will not permanent-
ly injure the kitchen floor to mark it
off in the necessary spaces with col-
ored chalks.
The delicate question of • how to
break the party up at the proper time
can be solved by establishing the cus-
tom of playing "Home, Sweet Home"
on the piano -when the time for leav-
ing comes. The children will like this

The Candy Pull.
A jolly, old-fashioned candy-pull will
appeal to any normal child. Like ev-
erything else, however, a candy-pull
must be well managed in order to be
a success. A pretty way to send out
tho notices for the party is to print
on brown paper in crude, childish let-
ters some such message as this:
"Please come to the pn-tv Madge
Brown's on Saturday night and bring
a gingham apron, clean hands and a
sweet tooth.'
If everybody dons a big apron there
will be no danger of spoiling frocks or
jackets, and if the girls know they're
coming to a candy-pull they will not
be likely to wear their hair in floating
curls. a saucer of flour provided for
each guest will keep the candy from
sticking to the hands.
1 here should be a generous supply
of snow white wooden meat skewers
so that each child may twist his candy
into as many "taffy sticks" as he wants
It provides a daintier way of eating
the candy than to hold it in the Angers
After the fun with the candy let the
children bob for apples in big basins
of water; the ginph/\m aprons are al-
ready on, therefore their clothes are
protected, and apples and taffy taste
well together. Instead of having ice
cream and cake at such a party, give
them gingerbread and lemonade, or,
better still, fresh, sweet cider. These'
can be set forth attractively on the
dining room table with Japanese paper
napkins and wooden plates while the
bobbing for applet, is going on in th«>
kitchen.
The Finishing Touch.
A most welcoroo finishing touch to a
candy-pull is t® present each guest
with a fresh, new pasteboard box in
which the "taffy sticks" may be taken
home. There is usually a box factory
in almost every town where plain
white boxes of suitable size may be
procured. If wanted, pretty decora-
tions cut out of flowered wall paper
iflay be pasted on them.
For the children from 10 to 15, who
have become acquainted with most of
the poems "which every child should
know", the game of acting In panto- "
mime some these poems is interesting.
"Lord Ullin's Daughter" can be dra-
matically <lone in pantomime with the
simplest accessories. The lovers' es-
cape on broomstick horses, they dash
to the edge of the river—a rug—and
beg the boatman, seated in a large
clothes basket or tin tub. to take them
across. He shakes iiis head; they plead
with outstretched hands; he consents;
they get into the tub and the Boatman
"bends to his oars—two canes thrust
through the handles of the tub. Sud-
denly there dashes up to the edge of
the water the frantic father, wringing
his hands—tool ate!
A few minutes' drill is all that is
needed for such a pantomime; several
poems can be prepared in an hour or
so n the afternoon. Of course, the on-
lookers must guess the poem. "Young
ochnivar" gives a spirited perform-
ance; "Maud Muller," various of the
" Su°d stories- "John Gilpin's
Hide, The Glove and the Lions," all
have enough action and characters to
make the pantomime dramatic and in-
amusing.
Games and Amusements.
An invitation in which the young
people are bidden to bring their "ten
best servants and their five best
friends" may puzzle them until they
discover that thalr ten Angers and five
senses are meant. For the entertain-
ment of such an evening have them
Play games, such as jackstraws, domi-
noes, twenty questions, blindfold pic-
tures and charades. For this evening
a \ irginia reel makes a jolly ending.
An "athletic entertainment" seems
an impossible invitation for an indoors
Party, but with the table croquet in
the dining room, a game of archery in
the hall, a Ash pond in the kitchen and
an egg on-a-teaspoon race (the egg
hard boiled, of course), the athletic
tournament will afford lots of fun. The
game of archery does not injure tho
furniture if whatever is breakable is
covered up and small and harmless ar-
rows are used. Instead of the ordi-
nary bull's eye mark, arrange a "Wil-
liam Tell" game by stuffing a small
boys suit and finishing it off with a
rag doll head, on the top of which an
apple, either real or made of cloth is
fastened. To the victorious ones in
such contests Inexpensive prizes should
be awarded.
