SIMPLE SEASONING A MERIT.
BY Martha McCulloch Williams.

Paper bag cookery conserves the
natural juices and savors Of food stuffs
and SO requires but light seasoning.
Take the case of so-called melted
butter. Ordinarily, a mixture of but
ter, flour and water, variously spiced
and seasoned and cooked to pasty
consistency, it must give the stomachs
that receive it a mighty wrestle. Melt
ed butter, viscid and heavy, means
overwork for itrpotential dyspepsia.
Far otherwise with real melted but
ter-butter pure and simple, mixed
only with the salts and savors of food
stuffs.
! wish you would try this sort Of
melted butter for either meats or vege-
tables. Put the butter in an enamel
sauce pan with salt, pepper, paarika,
the least sprinkle of fine herbs and
a very little nutmeg. Add half the
butter-bulk of boiling water, cook to-
gether for five minutes, stirring we'll,
then put in either lemon juice, claret
or sherry equal in quantity to the boil
Ing water, and let stand over hot water
until ready to serve.
Since omelets are possible to the
paper bag, here follow directions FOR
several sorts, each little out OF the
common. All must be cooked alike
in a very well-buttered bag 0f proper
size, set in very hot 0vea at first,
and the heat Stacked third or even
half, after three to five minutes.
Plain Omelet: This plain omelet can
be the foundation of many other sorts.
~ doubling tie egg contents and re-
duGssg the 5n!lk one-half. it ksscomes
richer and lighter. Bat jnst rs given
1t Is hnn For breakfast Or luncheon.
Begin ~ beating very lgs'i three eggs,
white and yolks sera7ats. Add to the
yolss a tablespoonful OF flour sifted
with half .easToo1;iul of baking pow
der and half AZ much salt. Melt a
Spoonful of butter in pint OF milk,
beat it gradually into the egg and
u1ortr mixtuTe--the milk must be hot,
but nat hoiiing-then fold in lightly
the st1ffly beaten whites, pour into
your bug. seal, put on trivet and cook
fifteen minutes:
Cn2cken or Ham Omelet: To turn
this into chicken omelet add very
itthc more flour to the mixture, then
stir in we'll just before putting It in
the bag cup of cold chicken minced
very fine and seasoned lightly with
onion Juice or minced celery. For
ham omelet leave out half the flour
and ecant the allowance Of salt and
baking powder. Water can be used in
stead of milk-in that case, put in
more melted butter. Mince or grind
the cooked ham very fine and season
it with onion juice and the barest
busting of sugar, not enough to taste,
only to throw up the piquancy of the
ham. Put in the minced ham before
the beaten whites, MIX lightly, put in
a we'll buttered bag and bake fifteen
minutes.
Spanish Omelet: Chop very fine a
stalk Of celery, a green pepper scalded
in boiling salt water but not wilted
one very small onion, one large peeled
tomato, with salt and pepper to taste,
and a bare dash of Worcester sauce
Mix we'll, put in a saucepan, and cook
until tender in a little butter-say
eight to ten minutes. The vegetables
should only simmer Make a sixegg
pmelet, but do not double the milk.
Put in plenty Of melted butter besides
what the vegetables supply Stir them
in we'll before the beaten whites, put
in the bag as quickly as possible after
the whites are added seal and bake
fifteen to eighteen minutes.
