A PINK AND White LUNCHEON


(Cornelia C. Bedford.)
Potato Soup. Croutons.
Grisini.
Lobster Outlets, Cream Sause.
Julienne Potatoes.
Rice a la Turenne.
Broiled Squads. Corn Fritters.
Jellied Shrimp Salad. Cheese Straws.
Strawberry Fluff. Fancy Cakes.
Coffee.
AS a color luncheon nothing could
be prettier or better carried out than
this menu. Through each course the
selected colors assert themselves while
the meal, as a whole, is not very diff
ficult of execution. At this season the
chrysanthemum is undoubtedly the
flower to use and the great pink fluffy
balls shown by the FORESTS lend them
selves most kindly to table and room
decoration. The quantities here given
are sufficient for eight persons.
For the soup course take one cupful
Of light bread dough. Work into it the
slightest beaten white Of an egg and a
tablespoonful of soft butter, adding
a little -four as necessary to keep it
from sticking. Knead for a moment
then put aside until risen again. With
the hands roll out bits of the dough
in sticks six Or eight inches long and
as thick as g lead pencil. Place well
apart on a fiat creased PAN, brush with
milk and when slightly raised bake
golden brown in a very moderate oven.
Tie together in pairs with baby ribbon
and lay at each place.
Cut two Or three him slices of stale
bread into tiny dice n fry golden
brown in a little butter. These can
be made early and spread on a fiat
pan to warm when needed. For the
SOup boil six potatoes and mash while
hot. Make a thin white sauce with
one quart Of milk, one quarter Of a
cupful each of flour and butter. Add
a teaspOonful OF onion juice, salt and
white pepper to SeaSOn and three ia
blespoonfuls of chopped celery, blend
with the mashed potato and simmer
over hot water for fifteen minutes.
Press through a fine sieve and stand
at the side Of the fire in a double boil
r. When served lust the surface with
a little paprika the Hungarian sweet
red pepper; this will give to it a
slight pink tinge.
The day before make a thick white
, u with n quarter of a cupful
each of butter and flour and a half
pint of milk. Add to it a half teas
poonful of salt, a lash of cayenne, five
drops Of onion juice, the beaten yolk
of an egg, one t~eaSpOOnful of lemon
juice and two cupfuls of chopped lob
ster meat. Set aside until morning
then mould carefully in small outlets;
dip each in beaten egg, roll in fine dry
crumbs and just before luncheon fry
in deep smoking hot fat. In the small
end of each outlet press a lobster claw
and serve garnished with parsley. Use

Mrs. Candidate did not acknowledge

Mrs. Candidate looked startled, but
she answered with some temper:

CHAPTER III.

A fire was a rare event in Sunniford.
and in few minutes the pond was de-
serted, except for Sadie and Jim and the
couple in whom she was interested. They
had apparently made up their quarrel
and were reconciled, for now they were
skating hand in hand at the farther and
more secluded end of the pond, where
some tall, dark shrubs and the overhang-
ing branches of some fir trees cast deep
shadow on the ice.
Keep to this end-we won't interfere
with loves young Dream" Sadie said
gaily. Nov, show me once more how to
cut that double three-the three with the
loop in the middle, mean
Jim obeyed. Sadie stood with her
hands in her muff and watched him for a
few moments with admiring eyes; then,
suddenly, as he approached and she held
out her hand to him, she gave a little
cry of dismay.

voice. He will be so vexed-he is al

Never mind that now-let's look for
it," Jim said. "You take that side of the
island and I'll look here" Then he added,
kindly, Don't fret, old girl; it will turn
up, never fear"
They separated, Jim going to the left
and Sadie TO the right side of the island,
both eagerly scanning the glittering ex-
panse tf frozen water in the hope of see
ing the lost bangle. Sadie, skating slow
ly along with her gaze fixed on the ice,
went further than she had intended, or
indeed, than there was any need to 60,
and presently found herself near enough
to the other couple, who had ceased skat-

direction.
