Few housekeepers realize what an
excellent vegetable rice is when cooked
in stock and served like maccaroni in
tomato sauce. Wash cup of rice thor
oughly in cold water Put in it abund
ance of DO ling water, and let it boil
rapidly for six minutes Then drain it
and add quart of nice beef stock and
q teaspoonful of salt Let it cook for
twenty minutes in this stock. Stir it
often with fork to prevent its cling
ing to the pot, taking care, however,
not to break the rice. When it is done
drain it in a colander. Save the stock
to use in any kind of thick soup
When the rice is well drained put it
back in the saucepan and dry it on the
corner of the stove for five minutes
Put it on hot platter and pour cup
OF tomato sauce over it Sometimes
grated Parmesan cheese is sprinkled
over it-N. Y. Tribune.

was low, and fat piece of wood at.

entire structure was first covered with

sleeve links or buttons old thimbles,

plaster as they accumulated. When
the rack was we'll covered and the putty
