- 1AAS IN+AAh DuL IUlS Is not luCIud-
ed IN the expense account. Pour this
gravy round the meat, cover closely
and place in moderate oven. Al
low twenty minutes for heating
through and an hour for each inch in
thickness. AS it is not tender cut
it is to be made so by the long, slow
lcooking. Before serving strain the
gravy.
| Less than quart Of potatoes will
make a good dishful when mashed.
Beat into them salt, pepper and a
quarter of cupful of hot milk.
The usual price of dried lima beans
is eight cents a pound and at that
rate six cents worth will be ample.
Pick over, wash and put them to soak
the night before. They will need
about three hours slow, steady cock
ing. During the last hour let the
liquid on them boil down to a scant
cupful. This is to be thickened with
teaspoonful Of flour mixed with
cold water and a seasoning of salt,
pepper and one teaspoonful of grated
or scraped onion added with, just be
fore taking from the fire, one tea
spoonful Of butter.
From the vegetable counter select
tiny but firm white head Of cab
bage. Remove the outer leaves, shred
the remainder very fine with sharp
knife or a slaw cutter and soak for
an hour in cold water For the
dressing take one cuDful Of weak
vinegar, or, if very acid, use part
water Mix one scant tablespoonful
Of corn starch with one-half of tea
spoonful of salt, one-quarter of tea
spoonful of white pepper or dash
of ceyenne, one-half of teaspoonful
of sugar and one-quarter of tea
spoonful of dry mustard. Rub to a
paste with a little cold water, turn
into the boiling vinegar and stir I'M
til thick, then cook slowly for five
minutes. Add a scant tablespoonful
: of butter, stir until dissolved and
pour the dressing over one we'll
beaten egg. This may be poured at
once over the cabbage (Which has
been drained and dried in a cloth)
and closely covered until the slaw is
cold; or, if the cabbage is preferred
very crisp, the dressing may be
chilled and served separately.
Prunes which are small in size but
Of good favor may be had at from FIVE
to eight cents a pound, and one-half
of that weight will be sufficient.
Wash and soak them for a full
twenty-four hours, then place in a
double boiler, cover with fresh cold
water and cook slowly until tender.
When cool enough to handle cut each
open and remove the stone. Soak
one-quarter of package of gelatine
in one-quarter of cupful of cold
water Boil down the juice until re-
duced to one cupful and quarter.
Add one-half of a eupful of sugar.
Bring again to the boiling point, add
the soaked gelatine and take from
the fire. Arrange the stoned prunes
in wetted mold or glass dish. To
the syrup add a few drops of vanilla
and pour over them. Set aside to
chill
Rio or Santos coffees while cheap
are rank and strong. An excellent
quantity of Maracaibo, which can be
had for about fourteen cents, is in
the oponion of many, quite as rich
and as good favored as a Java and
Mocha mixture For boiled coffee
take the usual proportions = one
tablespoonful of the ground coffee
for each cupful. Mix to paste with
a little cold water. add the crushed
shell from the egg used in the dress
ing. Turn this into the scalded pot,
add the required amount Of freshly
boiling water, stop up the spout and
boil quickly for three minutes. Throw
in a tablespoonful of cold water,
draw to the side Of the fire and let !
stand for a few minutes to clear it /
self.

to be devoted to the needs of the |
table it is not difficult to plan varied |
and excellent menus. Tt is a differ |

purchase is severely restricted, and |
we must make up the difference by |
skillful planning and judicious buy
ing.
