I be left whole or cut in halves. Let the
peaches stand in the pickle over night.
In the morning pour off the vinegar
bring to a boil again, pour over the
peaches a second time; put all in the
preserving kettle. boil three minutes,
then can and seal alright. The peaches
should be cooked to look clear.
After all, there is nothing sweeter in
the beef line than pot roast of beef.
Sprinkle the roast with salt and pep
per, dredge lightly with flour, then,
having heated a little suet or butter in
a frying pan, brown the roast in it,
turning from side to side until Drowned
on all sides. Take care not to pierce
the fieShy part of the roast with the
fork. A few slices of onion or a Glove
of garlic may also be Drowned in the
pan with the meat. When well Drowned
place the roast in the cooker vessel,
add two cupfuls boiling water to the
frying pan, simmer a few moments and
pour over the roast. Add teaspoon
full salt and enough more boiling water
to almost cover the roast. Cook 80
minutes, then set in the cooker for six
or eight hours, dependent upon the size
of the roast. When ready to serve take
up on a hot platter, chicken the liquor
in which the meat was cooked for the
gravy Cthis will have to be done over
the fire), and serve. You can roast any
other kind of meat in the same way.
Fried tomatoes with cream gravy
make a delicious breakfast dish. Cut
in thick slices without peeling, which
holds them together without breaking,
season with salt and pepper and roll in
-four or very fine crumbs. Fry in hot
pork drippings until brown, but not
bIackened or messy" Take up care
fully with a pancake turner, so as not
to break the slices, and arrange neatly
on a hot chop platter. Add table
spoonful more of drippings or butter to
that remaining in the pan Gf there is
only a little), stir in a tablespoonful of
flour and as soon as "bubbly" pour in
cup of hot milk. Stir until smooth
and creamy and pour over the tomatoes.
Garnish with parsley.

The French Word "etiquet" really
means a LABEL or ticket" How, then,
comes it to denote conventional forms
Of ceremony?"
1t is said that a certain Scottish gar
den owner in charge of Louis XIV'S
garden at Versailles was very much
put out because the courtiers walked
over his beds. To keep off these tres
passers he placed labels or tickets
'etiquets at various spots, with IN
structions as to the proper paths. AT
nrst the naughty courtiers did not delgn
TO notice these placards, but hint
from high quarters that their walks in
future must be within the etquets
compelled their obedience.
Thus according to the story, originat-
ed our present use of the word etl-
ouet."
When you were a kid did an in
dulgent daddy bake eggs in the hot
ashes for you, while encircled by his
loving arms you watched with shining
eyes the flames leaping up the fireplace
chimney? And how good they tasted
with just little salt on themi Baked
eggs are quite the fashion now for
campers. A tiny hole is made in the
small end of the egg to prevent burst
ing. Then they are made to stand in
rows against hot stones before the camp
fire. They won't be as good as tho
baked in the ashes as for digestion
oh, well, nothing invites US with the
same ~zest that surrounded those hal
cyon days of youth. =
We don't find spiced peaches on the
tables very often these days, but they
surely are fine. For seven pounds nice
peaches, peeled. allow three or three
and half pounds of sugar, according
to the acidity of the peaches, pint of
vinegar, an ounce each allspice and
cloves and three or four pieces of stick
cinnamon or two dozen cassia buds.
Stick the buds or cloves into the
peaches and tie the rest of the spices in
thin muslin bags. Boil sugar, vinegar
and spices together and pour the mix
ture hot over the peaches, which may
