The Plebeian Peanut.

“Peanuts unaristocratic!” exclaimed »- fashionably dressed, bright eyed young miss to her pretty oompanion on a Walnut street car yesterday. “Well what if they are? I’m going to have them served at our dinner party salted, and they sxe ;• perfectly lovely. Salted almonds aren’t in it. All you do is to buy the green or wnparched peanuts, parboil them, rub off the red euvelopes, spread the blanched nuts on a tin dish, treat them to butter, then brown them for half an hour iD a baking but not quick oven, and when they are a light snuff color take them oat at once and suit them while hot. Just try that recipe when you get home, and the lowly peanut will become exalted ICO per cent, in yout eyes.”—[PhiUdelnhia
