FRIED APPLES AND PORK Chops
Season the chops with salt and pepper
and little powdered sage and sweet
marjoram; dip them into beaten egg and
then into beaten bread crumbs. Fry about
20 minutes, or until they are done. Put
them on hot dish; pour off part OF the
gravy INTO another pan to make a gravy
to serve with them if you choose. Then
fry apples which you have sliced about
two-thirds OF an inch thick, cutting them
around the apple so that the core is in the
centre of each piece. When they are
Drowned on one side and partly cooked

If one is going to have company at din
ner and has not much competent help, she
may do a great many things the day be
fore. The turkey may be in readiness tOl
stuffing, and the stuffing itself NAV be en-
tirely prepared the day before. The Gran
| berries should be stewed, the mince pie
made and all matters relating to table
| linen, silver and china definitely arranged
| so that attention may be concentrated
! upon the proper serving of the dinner an6
| upon the preparation of those dishes
which cannot be cooked until at the last
hour. A holiday dinner should remind
one Of Michael Angeles picture, OF which
| he said: 1.-The labor must be scraped of
| when the scatfOlding is taken away" TC
| be thoroughly enjoyed the dinner should
| be so far work of art that it may appear
! to have come easily.
