The new-fashioned commode has a
brass rod running the entire length of
the back at about the height that the
old-fashioned splasher used to be fas-
tened. A curtain of silk, silkoline or
muslin is then shirred across the rod in
the same way as sash curtains are fas-
tened. Muslin that matches the win
dow curtains is often used, as some
fabric that can be laundried without in
jury is, of course, most suitable.
-Mincemeat: Take two pounds of
apples, pared and chopped: three-quar-
tiers of pound of beef suet, one pound
of currants, one pound of raisins, seeded
and chopped, quarter of pound of
citron, cut into shreds; the juice and
grated rind of one lemon, tablespoon

white sugar in a teaspoonful of rose
water. Let it stand at the back of the
stove to simmer slowly. Add two
tablespoonfuls of nice olive oil, and a
piece of spermaceti the size of walnut.
Add a mere drop of cochineal coloring
matter to turn it pink. When the whole
is melted to an ointment turn it into a
little round porcelain box kept Cor the
purpose. 1t should be small enough to
hold only a few tablespoonful.
-Potted Beef Tongue with Chicken:
Take the meat off chicken, but do not
use the skin or sinews; and pound we'll
with pound of tongue; boil the bones
to make a glaze and moisten the meat
with it; season with salt, pepper, nut
meg and a spoonful of butter; after
pounding well and running through a
sieve, press it in pots: stand the pots in
a stewpan of hot water; let them steam
thirty minutes, then cool; wipe dry an
cover with hot butter.--Boston Herald.
Pudding La Charlotte Russo: A
delicious pudding and one quite easily
prepared may be made la charlotte
russo with filling of ice cream and
mince or wine jelly. Line small char
lotte russo forms with lady fingers.
Mask them all over the inside with a
nice wine jelly or with ounce jelly.
Fill them with any suitably favored
ice cream. This dessert may be pre-
pared at moments notice by purchas-
ing the ice cream and charlotte russo
forms of cake at French bakers. In
combination with jelly, it is much
greater novelty than charlotte russo,
and altogether delicious dainty.
