old Fashioned Plum Pudding.

"I have read lately Out l think not in your columD a piteous plea for the Christmas plum pudding of yore. The petitioner is a man who cries out:
 "'I am positively homesick for the sight of good rich plum pudding. such as l had when I was boy. l have tried them in the best hotels and restaurants in the city. but they haven't the same taste! Don't you suppose that in this great town there is some woman who has not forgotten how to put one together? want one so full of fruit and other good things that there is little room for the dough-

Svmpathp for "Emily F."

Pardon me for saying l am grievously disappointed at reading your curt dismissal of the sorrows expressed by Emily F. She seems so lonely and depressed! Could you not have given her some words of encour- agement, or suggest some plan by which she could communicate with other domes- tics of American birth? She looked to you for word of sympathy, hoping that your friendly hand would guide her to a place of good cheer and helpfulness. Are there not some church circles where this lonely woman would be welcome?
 Perhaps in publishing her letter you have opened the way by which she will gain friends. If were not hundred miles away it would give me pleasure to welcome her to my home and to try to bring a ray of sunshine into her shadowed life.
 Please do not think that am finding fault with you Only felt so sorry for her after reading her letter.
 " MRS. MARY M. l.. R.
 If. as hope. you have read by now the symposium upon the "Vexed Question" in which other tender hearted women take part. you will see why preferred to open tho matter to discussion to attempting to solve the puzzle single handed. In one Of the letters written by one of these compass sionate souls the very point raised by your self of seeking other church associations is treated fully.
 Believe me when say that no other social and domestic problem engages more of my most serious thoughts than that illustrated by Emily F." If discussion would bring elucidation I would gladly resign this page to it for weeks together. May l ask your consideration of the solutions rendered by the several contributors to the first and second symposiums to which place has been given?

Another Good Recipe.

SWISS STEAKS.-Cut a round steak one and a han inches thick. Lay it upon the largest breadboard you have and dredge with flour. Beat we'll and steadily with a malet or a potato beetle, continuing toy dredge with flour until the meat will absorb no more. Beat and dredge both sides of the steak. This done, put the meat into a hot. well buttered skillet end brown well on both sides. Pour over it cupful of boiling water and cover. Simmer slowly for two houfS. adding hot water as it evaporates, and turn ing often to keep it from sticking to the bot tom of the skillet. Remove to a buttered dripping pan. Be sure to save every dropi of the gravy in the skillet. Season with pepper and salt; dot thickly with butter and brown in the oven for fifteen minutes.
 Mix the gravy from the skillet with the drippings from the pan and pour over the steaks when they are ready to serve.

 Thanks are due our correspondent for telling us how to utilize second and third rate cuts of beef.
 I take the liberty of subjoining to hen ex- cellent recipe for beef " en casserole the remark that coarse pieces of mutton may bs cooked in like manner by substituting for the potatoes cubes of carrots or rounds of young carrots. It is well to par boil both carrots and potatoes before they go into the casserole to rid them of the rank earthly taste that clings to raw vege- tables if they are cooked with meat without taking this precaution. The vegetables should be favored by the meat, not the meat by the vegetables. Many persons do not like Irish stew and the like preparation of meat and escuents because they detect tlA rank, crude flavor of vegetables grown un- derground. It should go without saying that cabbage should always be boiled in two waters.
