hurtful in itself was probably never raised ]miqfui ( jg it 110 L overdoing the muttor to cut with many beautiful and appropriate cn- 
iit the mind of either mother or daughter. 
The mother could not cat it; the daughter 
could—clearly it was the eater that was at 
fault aud not the dish. 
I know another lady who habitually 
makes herself sick on the same dish at least 
of them at all? What then,—shall we do 
without fancy dishes? By no means—have 
as many as you want, hut make them whole¬ 
some. I do not believe in the “ doing with¬ 
out” sort of people. They are an cytssore 
to me. I gel so discouraged with them some 
once a week, because she can sometimes eat , imes j know what to do. Show them, 
them “ without their hurling her.” So she 
thinks, but that is a fallacy. Any one who 
pays attention to the principle can see that 
onions, rather difficult subjects of digestion 
any way, unless very thoroughly cooked, are 
made far more so by having fat fried with 
for example, that tea and coffee hurt them, 
and directly they “do without;” hut they 
put nothing in their place. A thin break¬ 
fast chokes all the way down. Tt would 
choke me too, sueli breakfasts as they have. 
Why don’t they put on soups, pail sauces, 
them. They need almost the Stomach of an a|U j | m i m | apples, when they propose to do 
ostrich to manage them. 
Well, then, is it not the fault of the stom¬ 
ach ? No, it is not. They are hurlful to all 
stomachs ; and though some may be able to 
dispose of them without Hie owners’ feeling 
mid recognizing the immediate effects, yet 
none do so without injury, niul none should 
he required to do it at all. The same may 
he said about all fried and shortened food. 
Here, then, is one of Iho great principles 
that we ought lu observe in our cookery, 
and yet how often we violate it without a 
suspicion of the injury wo do ourselves. 
The trouble is we do not think. We know 
that these things are hurtful, pie-crusts and 
cake for example, ami yet we never stop to 
inquire what makes them so. We are try¬ 
ing ami trying, to see if we can do it. this 
time, and suppose that we go “ scot free,” 
it wc do not feel the punishment oil the spot. 
But what a rout this makes in the cook¬ 
ery ! There are so many tilings Unit are 
shortened and fried that all tho “good 
cooks” will he in the greatest consternation. 
I sympathise with them deeply. L have 
been there myself— li the consternation, 1 
mean. Why, it seemed as it half the Choice 
dishes were swept by the board. How 
could certain tilings be made tender and 
taste good without shortening? What 
would become of one’s reputation as a good 
cook ? But what is this reputation worth ? 
1 looked around me, carefully, and it honest¬ 
ly seemed that every one of my lady ac¬ 
quaintances who had Unit reputation had 
purchased it at the expense of the health ol 
her family. Is there any necessity for this? 
I think not. Thu great difficulty is, we 
have no principles, only to make things 
taste good. That, indeed, is well. I kings 
ought to taste good. It is no small art 
which secures this. But it should not do so 
at the expense of the very object for which 
food should be taken, to nourish the body. 
We do not cat merely to gratify taste, but 
the food should gratify the taste in order 
that it may nourish the body in the best 
manner. 
Here is the highest art to make the food 
both wholesome and agreeable. Here is a 
field worth exploring; here is work worth 
any woman’s doing. We often hear whole¬ 
some food complained of because it is re¬ 
pulsive. It should not be; and it is our 
fault if it is so. Our Creator does not do 
this. What more healthful, delicious, or 
without tea and coll'ee? and then nobody 
would mourn for the slops; the change 
would lie pleasant as well as wholesome lo 
all. “ Cease to do evil; leant to do well” is 
my motto, especially the latter part of it. 
How shall wc do it? Try your inventive 
powers. We and our foremothers have 
been trying our best merely to make things 
taste good from time immemorial. H is no 
great credit to them it they did succeed, 
since it, was often at the expense of their 
wholosomcness, hut to make things at once 
wholesome and agreeable, that is the prob¬ 
lem. I have been trying at It. I have been
