Tone of the modern cooks seem to Know this, and it may elp a young housekeeper who is not satisfied with the ooks of her cookies. . ROLLING COOKIES—If a clean cheese cloth is spread hver the mixing board and well floured, cookies may be roll- din a much softer dough than otherwise. RICH COOKIES—In making cookies or jumbles always mix butter with flour, as for pie crust, if you want rich, empting-looking cakes. ‘ TO BAKE COOKIES IN GASOLINE OVEN—As nice ookies can be baked in a gasoline oven as in a range if he pans are turned upside down and the cookies placed on the bottom of the pan to bake.

The standard measurements of teaspoon, table- — spoon and cup are level. The measuring cup now to be. found in almost every town and village, because so univer- Sally adopted, has the marked divisions indicating quarters — The up-to-date cooking: school measurements and meth- ¢ _and thirds. It is made of glass and tin and holds exactly ~ one-half pint. In many of the National recipes rounding measurements is - are mentioned of tea or tablespoon to save time of the — -busy housekeeper. One rounding spoonful is equivalent to two level. If one prefers to make all measurements level it is only necessary, therefore, that the two level be allowed ; for the one rounding. | The modern housekeeper has begun to learn that there are other ways of cooking food than by boiling, broiling, _ or roasting, all of which processes call for high heat. She has come to know that long, slow cooking, at a gentle heat, pest conserves the nutritive elements of food and the fla- -vors that render it most agreeable to us. It is this method _ of cooking that the earthen casserole, with its .close-fitting _ cover, has made possible for us. Then, too, the casserole - ' is the serving as well as the cooking dish; and besides, as + from its nature it retains heat for a long time, the food. presented in it may be kept in good condition for the late . comer or tardy diner. The casserole may be, also, the main dependence of the woman who does her own work and tikes to serve her meals daintily in courses. The viands - cooked in the casserole, whether of “fish, flesh, fowl, or - good red herring,” nicely seasoned and ready to serve, Will _ not deteriorate, if they be left in the oven while the appe- tizer*"and soup are being eaten; they may then be brought ee Nia table without further manipulation or a minute’s . delay. : In cooking chicken, veal, and the like en casserole, after the vegetables, mushrooms, "and wine have been added, press a strip of dough over the meeting line of cover and dish; this will swell in the heat and hermetically seal the cas- serole. When the dish is taken from the oven for serving + a until it has been set upon the table, the pottery cover is removed with a napkin by the waitress after placing the "casserole upon the table. 2 : The.

An ancient bird, indeed; and tough and poor the meat that will not yield to the gen- tle persuasiveness of a simmering process and surrender papi flavors to the subtle influence of cookery in a Cas- serole. ' The recives are all so explicit that it would not seem necessary to give any further suggestions as to how the Casserole should be used. In dishes where the success of ess which breaks up fibre’ and connective tissue it is an excellent plan to cut out a piece of heavy paper, a little larger than the cover so that edges may extend half an inch or. more, grease the paper, lay over top of dish, place ‘on the cover and this will assist in making a “steam- “proof” lining to the cover and prevent the escape of flavors.
