The housekeeper who has but one gem
eral maid usually has to supervise much
Of the cooking, possibly do good share
of 1t herself. With such drawbacks she
still has time to entertain her friends
both formally and without ceremony.
Now that the greatest heat of summer
is over she wishes to give formal
luncheon to five friends. After much
thought her menu may read something
like this:
Melons Frappe
Cream OF Spinach Soup.
Lamb Chops with Mushroom Cups
Potatoes Duchesse. STUFFED Tomatoes.
CaullflOwer and Nut Salad
ROquefOrt Waters.
Peach Sponge
Coffee.
As little reliance can be placed on the
maids ability to cook It will be best
to do all. or nearly all. OF the market
ing on the day before the luncheon is
to be given. The mushrooms. chops and
melons are ordered for delivery early
next morning, the remaining articles are
needed at once. Buy a medium sized
head of spinach.
Cream of Spinach Soup.
Use only the leaves of the spinach,
discarding all stalks; wash them
through a number of waters TO be sure
that they are free from sand and dirt,
then let stand in cold water for half
an hour. Have ready a large kettle
Of rapidly boiling sailed water. drop in
the drained green's and boil uncovered
for fifteen minutes; drain and drop into
cold water again for half an hour. This
process heightens the green color and
so gives better color TO the soup. Now
drain on cloth until quite dry. Put
through a food chopper. using the fine
cutter. In a double boiler scald one
quart OF milk. Work together to
paste two tablespoonsfuls Of butter,
three teaspoonsfuls OF flour, one-half
half teaspoonful OF salt and one-thlrd
OF q teaspoonful Of white pepper. Di-
lutte with a few spoonfuls OF the hot
milk, turn into the double boiler and
stir constantly until the milk r. smooth
ly thlckened. Set aside Until partly
cooled. blend about half cupful with
the prepared spinach. then put both
away until next morning.
Potatoes Duchesse.
Pare and boil enough potatoes 10 make
a quart when mashed. Put them through
the ricer. season well with salt and
pepper. add the yolks OF three eggs
beaten with three tablespoonfuls OF
cream, one tablespoonful OF chopped
parsley and one tablespoonful Of melted
butter. Turn out on a molding board
and press out fiat and a scant inch
thick. With a biscuit cutter cut u in
small circles. Slip a cake turner under
each and transfer 70 a slightly CREASED
fat pan, then set away.
Caulihower and Nut Salad.
From the cauIiaower trim away all
green leaves. Break the white head into
small fiowerets. rinse and drain. then
boil in sailed water until just tender.
Drain and drop them into a bowl OF
cold water TO which has been added a
tablespoonful Of vinegar. In half an
hour drain and put on ice until next
day. Pour boiling water over two dozen
almonds. let stand for FIVE minutes;
