Dear Polly:
] send you herewith another Of Aunt
James" excellent dinners. 1t seems to
me that IL will completely answer the
needs OF SamueIs wife. Ii is quite true
that very little variety is used in pre-
pairing fish. but Aunt Jane" here pre-
scribes a slight change In the way OF
FLAKED FISH
One cod Weighing Pa or pounds
Roll fish tin bones come out easily in a
little salted water (put 1t into cold water
aud heat up to boIllng). When done re-
move the bones and waste parts and
pick into fakes.
Cook two good-slzed onions all 70
pieces i'm little water pour coffee cup
OF rich milk into the onions when done.
add piece OF tutter size OF an egg. Sea-
son highly with salt and pepper. and
thicken with a great spoonful of flour.
wet with cold milk.
Place fish in a baking dish, and pour
over il the thickened onion gravy and
bake i'm the oven half an hour.
When done cover with the beaten
whites of two eggs. and return TO the
oven To brown slightly.
Another change is suggested In vege-
tables. Unlike meat. fish does not suit
all vegetables, but very few think to fol-
low Aunt James" plan for
BOILED PARSNIPS.
Wash and place in cold water TO boil.
When cooked peel. half, and spread with
butter. Any that are eft over can be
fried in butter delicate brown, and will
be even nicer than when first cooked.
Fruit always goes well with fish,
whether II be lemons served with the
fish. or as I'm this case. apples TO imme-
diately follow. can recommend Aunt
Jane g" recipe for
SPICED APPLES.
One-half peck sweet apples pared and
quartered, two pounds sugar. one pint
vinegar. one teaspoonful whole cloves.
one teaspoonful cinnamon bark, one tea
spoonful whole allspce.
Roil the apples till tender in little
water. Then remove the apples and add
! the vinegar. sugar and spices. Boil 20
minutes and pour over the apples
We are coming mere fully to under
! stand the value of coarse grades OF -four,
although not every housekeeper can
! successfully use them. Aunt Jane" here
| gives an excellent recipe for
! GRAHAM BREAD.
One quart milk heated with a tea
| spoonful lard. two teaspoonfuls salt, one
cup sugar. one pint white flour. Add
| graham flour enough TO make stiff
enough TO knead. Never sift graham
| flour.
Raise over night and knead again in
! the morning and place in pans. and raise
| again. Bake slowly. as II burns easily.
A fish dinner, being less hearty than
meat dinner, naturally calls for a

SAUCE.

sugar. beaten together. Add one cup
of milk and small piece OF butter, and
cook in a basin set I'm hot water till
thick as cream.
Scarcely anyone can be found who does
not rejoice I'm the advent of good pie.
Aunt James" reputation i'm this line is
adopt her recipe for making
SQUASH PIE
she will find all her objections answered.

This will fll three pies.
a good cake is always acceptable,
whether served at luncheon, dinner or
supper. II is well TO bear in mind that
unless intended for immediate use. cake
should be rich enough 10 prevent drying.

adapted 20 nll this requirement and Il
at the same time simple enough TO be

Any dinner IS the better for. including
fruit. whether ~ be served at mid
day or al uicht. for as Aunt Jane" cor
ftctly remarks;
Fruit should always be served si
some time In the day--either for break
fast or dinncr--the season OF the year
determining the variety most plentiful
Contrary o. the wsil-known maxi"1
that fruit Is lead at night" recent
authority states that an apple eaten
properly (by properly Is meant thor-
oughly chewed) Just before retiring is
beneficial 10 the system.
