When the Risleys we're invited to a
paper-bagged dinner, they came pre-
pared to scotland openly. Charming
people both, but bit difHcult Espe-
cially the husband. The root of his
difficulties I had long since set down
as a stomach maladroit, In doing its
whole duty. The stomach's owner
took on fat too readily, but did not
gain strength proportionately to his
thriving.
Therefore | permitted them to be
in at the death-the death of several
paper bags, the resurrection of their
contents. When the broiler came
forth bearing biggish bag, black
brown at the corners, and ready to
crack at touch. they stood smiling,
but critical, waiting to see what /
would do with it. Catching the bag
either side the cut, lifted it gently
it came apart along all the seams, re-
vealing chicken. roasted to the most
delicate brown all over. But when
the carving knife went In there came
out the finest flaous juice, and in
such quantity it was possible to add
"dish-gravy" to the plates as we'll as
that in the boat.
81 never tasted real chicken be-
FORE" young Risley said, as he tooh
a second helping. His wife gave him
an anxious look. "Be careful dear"
she urged. "You know, you've been
on the verge of bad spell all week"
His answer was to take another sweet
potato, and help himself to succo-
tash-both had been cooked in bags.
Salad he disdained upon hearing that
there was In wait a damson roly
poly-by help of which he rounded
out a noble meal. His wife also ate
heartily to my great Joy. But I saw
apprehension in her eye, until the
very last.
Early next morning she called me.
"Jack slept like baby and says he
has OF felt SO we'll in ages" she said.
Where can I get some paper bags?"
M. Soyer states positively that pa
per bag cookery is fine for contrary
stomachs. My experience backs him
up in this statement.
The succotash which made for my
friends, the Risleys, was prepared in
this manner.
Succotash.-Boil one pint shelled
lima beans in slightly sailed water
half an hour, drain and put while hot
into well buttered bag. Add green
corn cut from the cob-four to six
ears according to size, butter the size
of an egg, half a tumbler Of rich milk
a very little salt, a dust of pepper,
and teaspoonful of sugar. Seal bag,
lay on brOiler. and cook fifteen min
utes. The beans are parboiled thus
to avoid overlooking the corn, which
requires much less time.
Plum ROXY Poly.-Damsons are my
favorites for this. but any ripe, sound
plums will do. Wash and stew them,
pick out the seed, and IL very juicy,
drain away more than half the juice.
Sweeter lightly-no splicing is needed
Make puff paste, roll it out in long
strips a quarter inch thick, sprinkle
sugar on the upper side, then spread
thlnly with the stewed fruit, roll up
and pinch the ends tight. Roll in a
little lump Of extra butter. Cook
thirty minutes in hot oven-forty if
the roly is quite big. Serve hot with
sauce made from the extra juice,
along with butter and sugar, cooked
together over boiling water.
