MANY WAYS TO USE CHEESE.

Almost everyone is fond of cheese
Even the person whose doctor puts
him on diet composed largely of green
vegetables is tempted and falls when
the luscious Welsh rarebit comes upon
the scene. One of the most delicious
of cheese dainties is known as the cheese
straw and is very popular when served at
afternoon tea or at the midnight sup
per.
To half pint of prepared -four add
two ounces of grated Parmesan cheese,
moisten with the yolk of an egg and
enough milk to make a paste that can
be rolled out Roll into a thin sheet and
cut into narrow ''straws.' Bake to a
delicate brown. While they are hot sift
grated cheese over them.
For cheese rice boil a cupful Of rice
into two quarts of water. When tender
turn into colander, drain, shake hard
and stand at the side of the range ten
minutes 10 dry. Vow stir into the rice
first tablespoonful of melted butter,
then four tablespoonfuls of Parmesan
cheese and dash of cayenne pepper.
Serve very hot.
nice luncheon entree is cheese and
egg thimble. Beat six eggs evry light
and add to them a gill of warm milk,
in which a pinch of soda has been dis
solved, five tablespoonfuls Of grated
cheese and a pipch each of paprika and
salt Butter small plate pans, fill with
the egg mixture and set in a baking
pan of boiling water until the egg is set
Turn out carefully on a hot platter and
pour hot tomato sauce about them.
Cheese biscuits also delicious for tea,
are made by cooking together in a
small saucepan three tablespoolfuIs of
butter and four of -four. When these are
blended pour upon them a half pint Of
boiling water and stir until thick and
smooth: add four tablespoonfuls of
grated cheese. dash of celery salt and
of cayenne pepper. Cook. stirring con-
until very thick: remove from
the fire and add slowly two beaten eggs
Beat for ten minutes and drop by the
upon creased baking pan. Drop
these cakes so far apart that they will
not touch each other. Lay a sheet Of
brown paper over the top Of the pan and
set in a hot oven for ten or fifteen min
utes. When the biscuits are puffed up
and seem nearly done remove the paper
and brown them. Slip a thin bladed
knife carefully under the biscuits to Ioos-
en- them from the pan and serve at once,
as they soon fall.
When Welsh rarebt is stringy the
cheese which has gone to make it is
blamed. when as a matter of
fact the fault is usually with the maker.
Either she has chilled the cheese bv
pouring it in too much cold liquid at a
lime or else she has omitted to stir the
mass continually from the moment the
cheese is put in until the rarebit is
served. Almost any cheese will make a |
good rarepit. |

Not all the things advertised are
worth the price set on them. but if
one is a good judge of things she can
invest little money very wisely in

have seen are in a millinery shop in

at the price one would expect to pay
for only a moderately nice one. OF
course, il it is an everyday hat which
one would like to pick up for s.. this
kind can be found here also, reduced
