Some keep them in a stew by irritating ways and words. Others roast them. Some keep them in a pickle all their lives , It cannot be supposed that any husband will be tender and good managed this way, but they are really delicious when properly treated. In selecting your husband, you should not be guided by the silvery appearance, as in buying mackeral, nor by the golden tint as if you wanted a salmon. Be sure to select him yourself, as tastes differ. Do not go to the market for him, as the best are always brought to your door. It is far better to have none unless you patiently learn how to cook him. A preserving kettle of finest porcelain is best but if you have nothing but an earthen¬ ware pipkin it will do. See the linen in which you wrap him is nicely washed and mended, with the required number of buttons and strings nicely sewed on, Tie him in the kettle by a strong silk cord called comfort, as the one called duty is apt to be weak and they are apt to fly out of the kettle and be burned and crusty on the edges, since, like crabs and lobsters, you have to cook them alive. (continued) 151 How to Cook a Husband (continued) Make a clear, steady fire of love, neatness, and cheerfulness. Set as near this as seems to agree with him. If he sputters and fizzles, do not be anxious; some husbands do this until they are quite done. Add a little sugar in the form of what confectioners call kisses, but no vinegar or pepper on any account. A little spice improves them, but it must be used with judgment. Do not stick any sharp instrument into him to see if he is becoming tender. Stir him gently; watch the while, lest he lie too flat and too close to the kettle, and so becomes useless. You cannot fail to know when he is done. If thus treated you will find him very digestible, agreeing nicely with you and the children, and he will keep as long as you want, unless you become careless and set him in too cold a place.

A few cloves (whole) in the kettle of frying fat will give the doughnuts a better flavor, 5. Dry biscuits are caused from baking in too slow an oven and handling too much. 6.

The cakes brown nicely and there will be no smoke 0 2, Sugar in fruit pies: Sprinkle the sugar under the fruit instead of on top. The juice will boil up through the fruit and not out over the top, 3o When the custard pie shrinks away from the crust it has been baked in too hot an oven, 40 When cutting cream pies, dip the knife in warm water and none of the filling wl 11 stick to the knife, 5, Gelatin dessert will slip out of a mold easily if you give the inside surface of the mold a rubbing with salad oil before making the dessert, 6, Pour boiling water over nuts before cracking them and it will be easier to make the meats come out clean and intact, 7, Your roll-out cookies will become more delicious if you will roll them out on powdered sugar instead of flour. 154 HINTS 1.
