in a casserole TWO tabiespoonfuls of but
ter. a carrot and an onion Cboth cut into
slices), TWO bay leaves and a sprig of
thyme. Set the casserole on the top Of
the stove for about ten minutes, or un-
I'll the vegetables are lightly Drowned
in the butter. Pour in then a pint of
lWell-seasoned consomme. cover the cas-
serole closely, put il into the oven, and
braise the chicken for three-quarters of
an hour. If il is not young and tender
1t will require longer. Ten minutes be-
fore the time is up add two tablespoon
fuls Of sherry or madeira, and cover
again. At the end Of the three-quarters
of an hour drop into the gravy a dozen
or more small potato balls, which have
been cut from the raw potato with
Partisan cutter and then Drowned, or
saute in butter. At the same time add
an equal number OF French champig
mons. Season the gravy with pepper
and salt, and leave the cover off the
casserole, that the chicken may brown.

Soups Without Meat

In Roman Catholic France these
form a part of Fridays dinner the
year round, and play a more impor-
tant part than fish in lenten bills of
fare. In America VIC know so little
of them that the general prejudice
against them-especially among the
laboring classes, to whom practical
acquaintance with them would seem
to be essentials almost excusa-
bic. One New crsey farmer whose
muscles were toughened by salt pork
of his own curing, eaten at least
three hundred days in the year, de-
scribed meatless soup as "slops with
no taste into them" His opinion
was based upon the products of his
wife's manufacture.
The soup maigre, properly made,
IS wholesome, palatable and cooling
to systems already overcharged with
caloric.
