A most delicious soup. which Is good
always. and especially in the Spring, is
cream of celery" For this you will
use one pint of milk, a tablespoonful of
flour, tablespoonful of butter, a head

small piece of mace. Boil the celery in
pint of water from half to three-quar-
ters OF an hour; and boil the onions,

The flavor is Immensely improved by
adding a cup of whipped cream when
the soup is in the tureen. 1t gives both
delicacy and richness.
