Certainly au English cook would ‘grumble It she was expected io keep a kitohen tnil of copper 4>ans bright and clean, but a French- pue has them in a condition akin tp burnished gold. Her pride is gratified if her kitchen walls are hung witlritbese ornaments. and even if she does tho. greater part of her small’ cqoklng' in little enameled pans she will dally rub up the copper ones which hang on?tbe wall.” ■ jf —. _ .
