Invariably the housewife who has a reputation for fine soups is the one who supervises tho fotld left front each meal, and sEes that no bone, unless burned in the broiling, no scrap of meat, not the least bit, of gravy and not a teaspoon of vege- tables are wasted. All these she uses in her soup kettle. This; in- deed, is the French woman's secret, and she helps it out with judicious seasonings. Fresh meat will need to be pur- chased at least once a week for the soup stock. For the purpose apiece of the shin of beef, with the hone which contains marrow, a knuckle of ;real for additional gelatine and the eon./ meat and bones which have been saved should all soak in cold water for half an hour or so, and the be brought very slowly to a simmer. When the moat is cooked to shreds and the knuckles fall apart it is time to remove the kettle. Many persons season the stock tvitile it is cooking bet this practice hae its disadvant- ages.
