Panada may be prepared according to
this recipe: Take the white part OF the
breast or wings of chicken. which may
be either roast or boiled. and the under
side of cold sirloin or beef or cold roast
leg OF mutton, and pound it in mortar
with al equal quantity OF stale bread
Add either the water in which the
chicken was boiled, or some beef tea,
until a faid paste is formed. and then
boil for ten minutes, stirring the whole
time.
The following are also good formulae:
Take a large fowl. strip it of both skin
and fat: put it to boil in as much water
or stock as will cover IL. When done
take off all the meat and pound II In a
mortar till quite fine Then mix 1t In
the water IL was boiled in, skim of all
the fat and strain il three times through
sieve; then put IL into small cups ana
let IL stand IN warm water TO dissolve
and warm for eating. II may be made
thin with veal broth Half cup TO be
taken twice a day.
Panada may be made from crumbs Of
bread or rolls. with as much boiling
stock poured over it as IL will absorb
when moist; beat it with fork; add
whatever seasoning is required, put the
bread into a saucepan with an ounce OF
butter and stir IL over a gentle fire TIL
IL is dry and smooth and leaves the
saucepan with the spoon When cool II
is ready for use.

The hostess OF a literary turn of mind
may find something original and bit
unique IN '.Houseboat on the Styx
dinner party" ''Houseboat on the
Styx dinner party" affords a most ex-
cellent opportunity for an early fall
fancy dress dinner. and. incidentally, a
bit OF fun
The invitation may read after this
fashion. the hostess. if she cares to do
80. selecting the character TO be repre-
sented by each guest:
The houseboat will cast anchor at
the Martin pier on the Styx on Wednes-
day. October II, when the famed of all
nations will assemble to dine together
at O'Clock. George and Martha Wash
ington have sent regrets and beg that
you appear as their representatives"
The names of the host and hostess
may be signed. or their card inclosed.
hostess will be kept busy for the next
few days, no doubt. but this will give
her a good opportunity to explain the
exact nature OF the entertainment and
what is expected OF every guest.
The dining-roorp walls should be made
TO look as much Ike the interior of a
houseboat as will be possible. Through
the center of the table run a long, mar
row strip of mirror to represent a river.
and in the center of this have a lone
houseboat. which may be towed by
small boat. supposedly Charon's boat.
The place card should be some toy
which will represent a characteristic
of the famous guest being represented,
when alive. For instance, small Chi
nese idol for Confucius; small tree or
