has studied up mushrooms aud can surely iden-

arc all right.
Take the dark meat of one good chicken,

spoons of cream and the white of one unbeaten
egg. Add a teaspoouful of SALT q teaspoouful
of onion juice, and q saltspoon of pepper. Line

with another layer Of the mixture. Put these
in steamer, steam for Is minutes, and serve
them around bed of hot peas. Serve with
