MISUNDERSTOOD CABBAGE. If properly prepared, cabbage can be as delicate and tempting a vege- table as one could desire. Too many housewives are of the opinion that, because cabbage is somewhat difficult of digestion, it must ba given long hours of cooking; therefore it is placed over the fire in a closely covér-| ed saucepan and boiled some one, two or three hours, according to the tra-| dition prevailing in their families; and as a result it comes to the table tinted a pale mahogany shade, smell- ing to heaven, and almost poisonous, No one would dream of treating the delicate caulifiower so rudely, and yet; it is first cousin to the cabbage; and| the very aristocratic Brussels sprout| is another relation, highly prized by epicures and all discriminating per- sulphur which makes it both a easily mis flavor, and cabbage. is like the rest in L vegetable and also a YoY, cost; understood one.

Quick boiling is the secret of cook- ing properly all succulent vegetables; stewing or simmering will produce faded or discolored wilted products. The sulphur in the cabbage also neces- sitates the large kettle, the abundance of water and the uncovered cooking, for the cabbage must have room-- plenty of it--to throw off the sulphur, and plenty of water also. The steam produced by the rapid boiling must be given an opportunity to disseminate, then the sulphur fumes will never be- come concentrated, nor will they scent the house in the unpleasant manner they have in the usual form of cab- bage cookery. The soda is added to the cabbage tor neutralize the gases formed during cooking, just as one sometimes adds it to beans when boil- ing for the bake pot. However, now the cabbage is cooked and drained, and the house is free from its sulphurous odor, how is it to be served? Many persons answer this question by simply adding butter and vinegar to it, but I like it best in a white sauce.

They are wonderfully carved with or- namental heads, some resembling ani- mals, while others, with round amber heads, look lke modern scarf-pins.

Women understand men far better than men understand women. This is because women have been forced to, | study men. Their livelihood and their Uperquisites depend upon 'the pro- ficiency they obtain in the subject. Another reason is because a woman is always reticent with a man. She never really opens her heart to-him. She. never tells him the truth about herself. Men want a woman tobe ing and agreeable and interested in them, and that's all. And begause of this, and because a woman is always afraid of a man's criticlem, shi him about herself only what he wants * to know. e tells On the other hand, a man tells a "| woman things he would never tell any man.
