A July Luncheon.

The hostess who feels that she wants
or ought to do little entertaining
through the summer is naturally anxious
to have meals which will entail a mimi

About a quart of mushrooms will be
required. After breaking and washing they
are to be stewed slowly in little butter
for twenty minutes: in seasoning be care
full not to over salt them as they rarely
require as much as other foods They
can often be purchased in the markets

it would be well to substitute fresh green
peas, cooking them in little butter-a
pint when shelled will suffice.
For the Omelet itself, unless the cook
is very experienced, it will be advisable
to divide the eggs and make three ome-
let's of four eggs each, as one containing a
large number of eggs is very difficult to
roll and turn out unbrOken. To four
