Few Suggestions Concerning the
Preparation of Some
Dainty Dishes.

Dreamed salmon, as prepared in the
chatting dish, is one of the simplest and
easiest of dishes to concoct, appealing,
therefore, to the young cook still a lit
! tie unsteady on her culinary pins"
All the ingredients should be measured
and in readiness before the 'madding
crowd of spectators are seated at the
! table. Have on small plate before you
two plump little butter balls, each con-
tanning a tablespoonful of butter. On
another sauce plate may be two table,
| spoonfuls of flour mixed with a half tea
| spoonful of salt and few grains of cay
enne. In a small bowl have the yollls
OF two eggs slightly beaten and covered
with damp cloth to exclude the air;
also one cup of canned salmon, drained
! and tiaked, and three-quarters of a cup
of warmed milk, If you are the proud
possessor of a dainty silver nutmeg
crater, keep it in evidence, but if YOU
have to depend on the very ordinary
Kitchen CRATER have a few gratings of
nutmeg ready and mixed with the eggs.
See that the alcohol lamp is filled,
matches laid by its side, and the other
| concomitants of the feast set forth in
daintiest guise. All things being in
readiness, guests seated and grace said,
the high priestess of the dish NAV light
its generous flame, and lay in the blazer
her two butter balls. As they melt be-
fore the eyes of the admiring audience,
i'll goes the flour and seasoning. Stir
! "A nnnAnt until ~
have amalgamated, and pour in the
milk gradually, stirring always from
the bottom, and round and round, that
all may be smooth and creamy. As it
reaches that consistency, in should 90
the salmon. Stir again gently until
thoroughly heated through, then turn
down the flame, add the yolks of eggs
and the nutmeg, and your dish is
ready to serve on the hot plates which
should await it.
One of the latest conveniences for the
| systematic hOusekeeper who wishes to
keep strict account of all her lares and
penates is an inventory book This con-
sists of printed list with columns for
each article, even to trunks, boxes and
barrels, with date of entry, value and
description. In case of fire, theft or
DEATH this inventory book will be found
invaluable, while even in the spring
cleaning or moving it will prove a most
efficient aid. Each room in the house
has two pages given to it, including
even closets, attics and cellars. while
special lists are arranged for books,
clothing, bric-a-brac, pictures, dishes,
bedding, linen and the like.
An excellent breakfast relish cooked
in the chatting dish or in a spider is
bread saute. Put two tablespoonfuls of
!,utter in the blazer and when hot lay
in two rather thick slices of bread,
| dipped in a beaten egg, mixed with
three tablespoonfuls of milk. Brown
on both sides, remove and put in the
pan two tablespoonfuls chopped ham,
two tablespoonfuls grated cheese and a
half cup of cream. Season with dash
of cayenne, mix all together and when
hot spread on toast.
10 pan roast young and tender
fowl, southern style. sprinkle with dry
yellow cornmeal, salt and pepper. Tuck
the wings under, turn the neck around
and cover with thin slices of salt pork
or bacon. Put it in the pan inside up,
and roast in a hot oven fer ten minutes.
then turn over and roast until nice
