Dinner Maklna.

Dinner Making.
A knowledge OF the composition OF
the common foods is essential for the
woman who would plan her daily
meals i~ntelligently. There are no
fixed laws regarding the choice OF
certain vegetables to serve with GER
tain meats. though some have become
associated by custom and because
they harmonize.
When fish takes the place Of meat,
as It lacks In nutrition. the meal Is
balanced by a rich sauce for h hsh
and vegetable dessert that has consid'
cradle nutriment. On the other hand,
when serving roast por., a simple des-
sert and lighter vegetable is served.
Soup generally begins the meal when It
Is well planned. Soup for dinner
should be simply a stimulant to pre-
pare the stomach for the heavier
meal.
Brown Onion soup.-Fry three
onions brown in butter, add a tea
spoonful Of sugar and four cups of the
beef broth. bring to a boil, strain and
serve.
Splced Toneue.-Boil a fresh tongue
until the skin will peel. Trim OF the
roots, rub the tongue all over with a
mixture OF one teaspoonful OF all
spice, half a ~teaspoonful each OF pep
per and ginger, then dredge with
-four. Fry a minced onion in two Ia
blespoonful OF butter, then brown the
tongue. Put It in a stew pan, d a
tablespoonful OF -four to the butter In
the pan and a pint OF water, or
enough to make a hin gravy. Pour
It over the tongue, add half a u OF
raisins and half a cup OF vinegar.
Stew until tender and serve with the
gravy.
Smothered Potatoes-To two table
spoonfuls OF suet add a fourth Of a cup
Of onion and celery mixed. When be
ginning to brown, add a pint OF cold
boiled potatoes cut In cubes. Sprinkle
with salt and pepper and add a hall
cup of gravy or tomato sauce. Cover
till well steamed and serve. hot.
Marlborough Ple.-Mix together two
cups Of grated apples. n and a hall
cups of sugar, three eggs we'll beaten
two tab%lespoonfuls Of melted butter
the grated rind and Juice OF one lemon
and one cup Of sweet cream. This IL
enough for two pies. Cover witt
