DINNER PARTY MENUS.
BY Martha Meculleeh Williams. 4
So many letters have asked Ton
menus suitable throughout for cook
Ing in paper bags that here follow
several, each suitable for a party dIn-I
ner, Direction for cooking moro than
half their component parts have Al
ready been printed.
II you feel that you must begin your
party feast with raw oysters, take
them straight-from the half-shell. n
the halt-shell way cumbers you, serve
the oysters in cocktails.
II your oysters must be hot, put
them In paper bag after draining
them well, add a generous lump OF
butter for each dozen of the oysters,
a busting of pepper and a little SALT
Seal the bag, which must be thicklyt
buttered, and cook for six minutes In
side very hot oven.
Here is my ideal paper bag cooked

Coffee IN large cups Sweet Cider
Water Waters Dried Beef Crisped In a
Pan
! Beef thus crisped till It crackles in
the teeth is wonderfully rellshed at
the end of a heavy dinner. 1t gives
the saving tang of salt that is so re-
freshing. A very little-a mere mouth
full, suf1ces. Put it thinly, in clean
pan, with a tiny dot of butter, set the
pan in the oven after the fire is out,
but while there is still heat, shut the
door and leave till wanted. The beef
can be crisped over a low fame, OF
course, If the oven is wanted for other
use. Make the waters also hot and
crisp.
To make pimento sandwiches, mince
half can OF pimentos, rub them we'll
through cake of the best cream
cheese, adding enough French dress
ing to make the mixture spread
smooth on the buttered bread. Few
better accomplishments for any sort of
salad can be found.
Peel and slice your turnips and put
them in well creased bag with a
light seasoning of salt, a lump of
butter barely busted with -four, and
enough thin stock to half cover them.
Seal and cook in a gentle heat fifty
minutes to an hour and a quarter, de-
pending on the size of the bag. Empty
into hot dish and If not rich enough
add more butter, dust with black pep
per, and, If approved, add little vine
gar. MASKING is optional.
