How To Boil Vegetables

Vegetables cooked in the English way that is, in boiling water-are very often overcooked, hence. their waterlogged appearance. To get the best results with greens, cook them in water sufficient just to cover them and keep the water bolling briskly. Root vegetables | should be cooked more slowly, or they will break up. The moment the vegetables are cooked, drain them well, and put them back elther in the saucepan or in a warmed casserole with a little but- ter and replace over a low heat for a minute or two, shaking the saucepan now and again to pre- vent burning.

Never add soda to green vegetables. It may preserve their colour, but it destroys valuable vitamins. Keep the lid off when cooking green vegetables, and on when cooking roots and tubers.

The French method of cooking vegetables not only gives delicious results, but has the great advant- age of conserving their value. All vegetables, except very young ones should first be blanched-that is. put into cold water and brought

the bolt. They should then be drained, cut up if necessary, and put into a casserole with a very little stuck or water, butter and season.ag

The lid should be aut

on and the vegetables cocked very slowly for two hours or more either In the oven-if you happen to

Vegetables which have been preserved in salt-such as French beans should be well washed-and soaked in cold water, and then put into a saucepan of cold water antd brought to the boil. This water should be thrown away, and the process repeated once or twice in order to get rid of the salty taste. They can then be cooked in the

INTERESTING SIDELIGHTS

If Shakespeare were alive to-day what a stupendous histori- cal drama he could write. Nor would be have to overstrain that limitless imagination in remoulding the characters from real life. to meet the exigencies of theatrical requirement, writes Atticus in the "Sunday Times."

Every type of actor is ready and rehearsed. There are the "Heavies," with darkened brow and clanking step. They have even outdistanced Kipling, so that now his famous line would have to read: "The corporals and the kings depart." There is the little slant-eyed ruffian of the East, with courtly manners and the open knife. There is the handsome juvenile lead who rides out each day in the sun Bike Sir Galahad seeking to free the maiden "Peace," There are plotters who gamble in the cur- rencies of foreign nations and count economic collapse not too big a price for the enriching of their private pockets. There are the crowds who have no quarrel with each other waiting to hear that they are at war."

Nor would such a drama be com- plete without the feminine ele- ment. The rough music of men's voices needs the softer notes of women. Therefore we must turn to China for the Three Wise Wo- men of the East-the Soong Sisters, who are exerting such a profound influence upon Oriental affairs at this moment.
