liquor; little butter, pepper, and salt
to taste, and one-half ounce of gela-
tin. When this dissoIves pour it hot
over the chicken. The liquor must be
seasoned pretty highly, for the chick

Chicken PattieS.-Mince chicken
that has been previously roasted or
boiled and season we'll; stir into this
a sauce made of half a pint of milk,
into which while boiling a teaspoon
full of cornstarch has been added to
thicken; season with butter, about
teaspoonful, and salt and pepper to
taste. Have ready small patty pans
lined with good puff paste. Bake the
crust in a brisk oven; then fill the
pans and set in the oven a few min
utes to brown slightly.
Chicken Pot Pie.-Skin and cut the
fowls into joints, and put the neck,
legs and backbones in a stew pan,
with little water, an onion, a bunch
of savOry herbs, and a blade of mace;
let these stew for an hour, and when
done, strain off the liquor. This is for
gravy. Put a layer of Sowl at the
bottom of pie dish, then a layer of
ham, then one of force meat and hard
boiled eggs cut in rings; between the
layers put a seasoning of pounded
mace, nutmeg, pepper and salt. Pour
in about half pint of water, border
the edge of dish with pie crust, put
on the cover, ornament the top and
glaze it by brushing over it the yolk
of an egg. Bake for about an hour
and a half, and, when done, pour in
at the top the gravy made from the
bones.
Dressing.-Rub the yolks of two
hard boiled eggs to smooth paste,
with a dessertspoonful of salad oil,
or melted butter; add to it two tea
spoonfuls of made mustard and a
small teaspoonful of fine white sugar,
and put to it gradually (stirring it in) +,
a large cup of strong vinegar. Make a
wreath of the most delicate leaves of
the celery around the edge of the
dish, between it and the chicken;
pour the dressing over the chicken
when ready to serve; if the dressing
is poured over too soon it will dis
color the celery. White lettuce heads
may be used for the nest instead of
celery.
