of sardines; then there is a STRIP
of bacon
Bacon! commented Jack med
itatively. That sounds good
1t is well enought occasion

considering thoughtfully, but
one can't vary it much. AS 3
steady diet bacon is.-well, it il
just bacon.
Not when you get hold of it
asserted Jack confidently, Il
anyone can evolve a chicken pie
from a bacon rind it is my Polly
Salmon, sardines and a strip Of
bacon My mind is at rest con
corning the turtle doves. They
will fare sumptuously. Bye. bye
sweetheart.
Mrs. Polly smooted her hair
once more, thought bit, and
disappeared within the pantry.
Such confidence must be justi-
fed. How, she did not know
but somehow.
Now isn't it fortunate, quoth
she, reaching for her cook book,
that not one of US is addicted to
what Jack calls the meat break
fast habit. Coffee, cereal and
fruit, with toast or pancakes
will do nicely for breakfast, and
for luncheon-now how did /
prepare that dish of spaghetti
and bacon which Jack liked so
much, hastily, scanning the
pages, oh! here it is.
One dozen tubes of spaghetti
for each person, cooked with
one.half an onion, sliced, in boil.
ing salted water until tender,
drained, and arranged upon a
platter. Fry one slice of bacon
for each person, remove from
pan, stir into the bacon fat one
tablespoonful Of -four and three
of Chill sauce. Cook until smooth
thinning with boiling water to
the consistency of gravy, add
pepper and salt and pour around
the spaghetti. Arrange the
sliced bacon over the top and
serve.
That will do nicely for to-day,
and for to. morrow-well, for to-
morrow we will have, why Ger.
tainly! That perfectly delicious
corn, tomato, toast and bacon
combination. Jack simply doesn't
know when he gets enough of
that. Prepare two slices of toast
and one of fried bacon for each
person; into a pan containing
three tablespoons of hot bacon fat
turn one-half can each of corn
and tomatoes drained free from
liquor. Season and fry for FIVE
minutes, stirring constantly. Dip
the toast in hot salted milk, and

fashion, with spoonful of the
mixture for the filling. Place
another spoonful and slice Of
bacon over the top Of each sand.
wich and serve.
Now for the next day,-will |
The bridge be liked by that time
I wonder +? Oh it must One
can't get along after this fashion;
for next day, well - we might
have mashed potato arranged in |
q mound, with sliced bacon over
the top, and a dressing of two
tablespoons each of bacon fat and |
salted milk boiled together and |
poured around it, or-or rice and |
tomato curry with bacon. Jack
thinks that fine.
On-half cup of rice cooked in |
two cups of boiling salted, water
until tender and arranged in a |
mound upon platter. One to-
mato for each person stewed
with half sliced onion and a |
bay leaf in sufficient water to
cover, and seasoned with one.h half
teaspoon of curry powder, and
triie of salt and pepper. Fry
one slice of bacon for each per.
son, remove from pan, put in
cooked tomato, boil up once in
the bacon fat, and pour over the
rice. Arrange the sliced bacon |
over top and serve.
Why dear me! turning tn
pages desperately, there are no
more bacon recipes. And they |
call this a cook book-well! And
Mrs. Polly planted both elbows |
upon the table, her chm within |
her hands, and lapsed into In
ventive meditation.
Jach shifted the air as he en-
tered upon the following evening. |
1t smells good, he remarked
approVingly, but-do turtle
loves eat onions ?
They will eat them tonight,
