Leave the pot uncovered and do not touch the rice Withn spoon. At the end of twenty minuu‘s take out a few grains with a fork and bite into them to try if they are tender. They should be by now.

When this is the case the sauce should be first made and the meat cooked in it long enough to be thoroughly heated and ‘seasoned. Where cream sauces are used it is better and safer to put them in a farina boiler and then add the meat. The seasoning of recooked meats reâ€" quires special skill, for the law of combination is by no means fixed. Veal and chicken are the easiest 'meats to recook, beef comes next, while lamb and mutton more often tax the resources. They need more palatable seasoning, and a little acid, like. a chopped pickle or olive, or a. tablespoon of capers adds to their flavor. Nuts are used in many cakes, and a nut pie is a dainty dessert. A rich' crust should be made and the pan lined with it. A cup of nut meats, chopped fine, is beaten into a mixture made of two beaten eggs, half a cup of powdered sugar, a tablespoonful of Wine, a pinch of salt and a few drops of lemon juice. Fill the pie crust with this and bake in a brisk oven. When cold heap a merin- gue or whipped cream on the pie and serve immediately. The pics are best made small, patty pans being used. Ice cream is better a la noisette, that is, flavored with nut meats that are stirred in just before the last moment of freezing. Try this with coflee or bisque cream, and see how delicious the result. Mistake made in preparing leftâ€" over meats is in cooking them again instead of merely rcwarming. can be made of beef, veal, chicken, or turkey; ragout and curries of all the meats, including game; sonffles of veal, chicken, or turkey. Veal, chich en, or turkey is usually reheated in white sauce; beef, mutton, lamb, and game in brown. “here only a, small portion» of meat is left the rice or potato boroe’z‘ onâ€" have not gone quite so far as this, but believers in a nut diet must be greatly cheered by the fact that the sale of nut meats has taken its place as an industry and by the recogniâ€" tion of nuts in the preparation of many dishes where they were once not dreamed of. Nuts added to most salads are an improvement thereof, and, unless they must be blanched, they are litâ€" tle or no trouble to prepare, especiâ€" ally if the nut meats are bought all ready for use. Nut sandwiches made of thin slices of brown bread. thick- Iv buttered and spread with chorped and salted nut meats, make a. delici- ous change. The nuts may be chopped with a chopper or run through a meat mill. A little grated cheese may be added to the nuts if the combination is liked.

Some parents, of course, revel more openly and en- joyably over plans for their childâ€" ren’s future than do others. The late Queen of Denmark was an inveterate matchmaker, and the sweetest and luckiest of them, too, for she brought about brilliant and happy marriages for her own children and her child- ren’s children With so much success that the aged King of Denmark is to this day called the fatherâ€"in-law of Europe. When in the fulness of time a Royal prince or princess becomes old enough to marry, the nebulous plans that have been cherished assume a definite shape. A certain numher of eligible partnqu are mentioned to the bride or bridegroom to be. Then meetings are arranged that shall bear the appearance of being acciâ€" dental, so that, should nothing- come of them, the feelings of the rejected may not be hurt. All the same, it is ever with a fluttering heart that a. young princess is introduced to a young king or king-tuâ€"he, for, of course, she guesses that she is being passed in review before him as a possible sharer of his throne. THE BRIDE FOR A KING. More circumstance and cure hedge round the choice of an heirâ€"apparent than those that appertain to the marriage of a second or third son or daughter of a Royal house. His choice, in consequenCe, becomes ser~ iously narrowed, for it must notionly please his parents, but the Ministers of the country, the Parliament, and the people. His future wife‘s nation- ality must be, for political reasons, one that will best further the wel- fare of his ou'n country, and, to quote the memorable words of Lord Palmerston, when the engagement of our King", then Prince of Walgs, was HOW LOVERS “ACCIDENTAL- When a brief announcement appears in the Court, news that his Majesty the King has been pleased to give his consent to the betrothal of this princess or that prince, the engageâ€" ment appears, to the outsider, to have been as easily arranged an af- fair as an ordinary one upon which papa has been asked to bestow a blessing. But. such is not the case. To begin with, the King’s consent means everything or nothing to the young couple, quite unlike that of papa, which is asked for more as a cusâ€" tom and a duty than as a necessary step to make the marriage valid. For the Sovereign must say “Yes” to the betrothal of any member of the Royal House of Great Britain, or the marriage of that member, even though it should be performed by the Archbishop of Canterbury himself, Will be null and void, says Pearson’s Weekly.

But she always chose a re- mote retreat for/(he embryo love- all‘airs or her protegees, and, in par ticular, it was at lialmoral that so many times the tender question was asked and answered. But the most. skili‘ul matehmakers in Cupid's court are often outwitted by Cupid himself, who spares neither Kings, Queens, Ministers, nor I’ar- liaments when his designs run counâ€" ter to theirs. So it happened that. though our good Queen Victoria had chosen for the Prince of Wales, our King, a German princess, his heart went out to the beautiful Danish girl who is now our Queen. As a. boy of thirteen. he and the little Princess Alexandra met at a. child-‘ rcn’s party given by Queen Victoria. at Buckingham Palace, and six years later, when he was nineteen, he saw her again. This time it was in a; portrait, and so enchantineg sweet. was the picture that the Prince fell deeply in love with it. 'An "acciden- tal" meeting was arranged to take place in the Cathedral of Spcier, and here the y0ung people met, the Princess: totally unconscious of the Prince’s admiration. We all know the happy sequel. The time, place, and words of even the most lloyal of all Royal pro- posals are left entirely to the deciâ€" sion of the prince who is to put the fateful question when a queen is concerned in the alTair. With settlements Royal lovers have nothing personal to do. Such busi- ness details are arranged for them. Their future incomes, their residence or residences, their jointures as Wid- ows or widowers, are discussed and agreed upon by the parents on both sides, through the agency of the re- spective Ministers of their Courts, or accredited Ambassadors entrusted with the delicate mission of the ne- gotiations, It is interesting to note the ions annual incomes of mcmhe our own Royal Family: Their Majesties the King an Quecn . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . £4 Prince of Wales . ‘ Princess of Wales ...... . .
