19 38 THE SCRANTONIAN, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER Attendant in Cousin Wedding The Right Way to Carve a Ham ing. but the steak itself is less attractive, and therefore this is seldom done. The carver should cut along the edges of the bone with the point of his knife, separating the meat from the bone. Then, beginning with the wide or bone end of a porterhouse or similar steak, cut into sections an inch or so in width, depending upon the number to be served. Serve a small piece of the tenderloin and a mall piece of the wide portion to each.

The small or flank end is less choice and should not be served unless it is necessary. Pot-roasts are difficult to carve because the fibers do not all run in the same direction. However, in so far as possible, the meat should be sliced across the grain. Fillet or tenderloin is cut straight across the grain in slices a little less than one-half inch in thickness. Hold the meat steady with the fork in the left hand.

Begin to cut at the thick end of the fillet.

Realizing that good citizenship is dependent unon good health and physeal well-being, the activities of this committee extend outside the purelv educational field. For example, during the past year Practical gifts toward better standards of citizenship included a recreation hall with equipment, a water tower and electricity for a school which heretofore had only the old-fashioned pump for its water supply, a dairy barn for the housing of cattle and for the teaching of proper dairying methods, a creamery, a home for teachers and a telephone line toward which individual D.

C. Carving a whole ham is not difficult. The center slices are the choicest and should be served first. Cut even slices to the bone, then run the knife underneath to detach them. For more servings turn the ham over and carve the other side In like manner.

Loin roasts are hard to carve if the backbone is loosened at the market Otherwise this bone gives difficulty.

The backbone should be separated from the ribs by sawing directly across the base of the ribs, parallel to the chine bone. Then, after the roast is done an before it is taken to the table, the backbone is removed. The meat can be easily cut in thin, even slices, between the ribs. Directions are alike for carving loin of pork, veal or lamb. Ordinarily, veal and lamb loin are cut for chops; however, they may be roasted if desired.

ROAST OF FORK OR LOIN A crown roast, made from the loin of pork or 'lamb, is one of the easiest cuts to carve. A single chop with a portion of dressing and a spoonful of gravy is served to each person. Take care that the pieces are of equal thickness. Mrs. W.

O. Box 611. Scranton. Pa. SMALL DOWN PAYMENT BUY NOW i I BY RUTH WHITE A roast, cooked to perfection v'and garnished artistically, is so appetizing in appearance that it deserves to be brought to the table before it is carved.

That, however, brings up the question, which is a bone ot contention in some households, Who is going to carve the roast? Perhaps the real question is, How should it be carved? It is usually lack of skill in going about this important task which makes it troublesome. Youve noticed, perhaps, that a man who carves well is really pleased to assume this responsibility. It is when he does not know quite bow to go about it that he is apt to yebel. ECONOMY IN CARVING But no matter who does the carving, or where it is done, in kitchen or dining room, it is important that it be done skillfully. Meat can be served to better advantage when it is cut in neat, attractive slices.

There is economy, too, in knowing how to get the greatest number of delicious served from a piece of meat. While practice brings facility in carving as in other tasks, you will succeed best if you understand the underlying principles. It is necessary to know the position of the bones and the direction in which the fibers of the meat run in order to carve properly. CARVE ACROSS THE GRAIN One of the basic rules of carving is to cut any, piece of meat across the grain, in so far as this is possible. This cuts tne long fiber and makes the meat more tender.

1 Another important rule is to keep the same angle of the knife after the first incision is made. This is the way to obtain neat, even slices. A good carving set is necessary to good carving. The knife should be kept sharp; and it must be of good quality if it is to take and keep a keen edge. An eight or nine inch carver is recommended for roasts, with fork and steel in proportion.

Here are the directions for carving the various familiar cuts so that they are most attractively served and the remnants are left in good condition for another dinner.

The rib ends may be decorated by paper frills, and in that case the carver steadies the roast by grsap-ing the upper rib with his left hand. Otherwise he holds it steady by thrusting the fork into the center of the roast. To carve, cut very thin slices across the grain of the meat until the knife touches the bones.

Carve several slices, then draw the point of the knife along the edge of the bones to separate the slices from the ribs. ROLLED RIB ROASTS Place the roast cut side up on the platter. Steady the meat by inserting the fork just below the slice is tor be next taken. Cut each of the cords which hold the roast as you reach it in carving. They keep the roast in shape while you are carving it.

Loosen the' cord after cutting it ana mi it fall on the platter, taking care that it does not touch the TO CARVE A WHOLE HAM The center slices of ham are the most desirable and should be served first. The problem is to get the largest number of attractive center slices. Make the first incision at the large end with the knife just below the aitch or hip joint, and cut down to the bone. Cut 'parallel slices of even width, until the center section of the ham has been cut. Then run the knife along the bone, releasing, the half slices, steady the ham, while carving, with the fork.

For more servings, turn the ham over and carve the other side in like manner. CARVING LEG OF LAMB A leg of lamb is carved like a ham, for the bone structure of the two cuts is similar. The best way is to cut down through the center portion of the leg, perpendicular to the large bone. After sufficient number of slices have been cut, run the knife along the bone to release the slices, just as you did in carving ham. Turn and carve the other side in like manner.

There is another way of carving a leg of lamb, preferred by some. In the second method, the carver, instead of cutting straight down to the bone, makes a thin slice at an angle of about 30 degrees. The slices will be a little larger if cut in this way. But the meat fibers will be a little longer, which Tells Tales is No Skin Test Needed CANUTE WATER is io aft and pure that it hat never injured a tingle utet ia 24 Jean.
