DAUGHTERS HAsTY
DINNER FOR COMPANY

Dear Editor and Sisters of the Social
Corner: Several weeks have passed
since L Bother! There goes the
telephone bell. Well! now! what do
you think? Company coming to din
ner-FTiday and the larder most
empty. But I'm not to put myself out
in the least; just give us what you
are going to give your own family. Il
had planned giving them ham and
eggs), but not for company, Margaret,
especially who always provides such
appetizing dinners.
Well, I'll go and see what the larder
contains. Half loaf Of bread, enough
for my own family. but not enough for
four extra ones, d few cookies, three
slices of cake and half a pie, and not
a scrap of fresh meat Of any kind; but
l smile complacently to myself, for
am thinking of my emergency shelf. |
so to it and take down a can Of to-
matOes, a can of green corn, a can Of
OK tongue and package of self raising
reliable -four, and while l am doing
it, in my minds. eye I see my dinner
on the table and my guests partaking
of it with evident relish.
Now I run down cellar after pota-
toes. an onion and some apples. The
potatoes peel and put into cold sailed
water. Then I open the cans of to-
mato, corn and tongue. I put the to-
matoes into a granite saucepan, add
the onion, and put to cook. The corn
l turn into a saucepan also, and the
tongue onto a, plate for slicing lin
warm weather L put it on the ice to
chilli and now the apples must be
pared. They also are put into a good
sized granite dish with water to cover
and put onto the stove to stew Next I
open the package of -four and put into
the mixing bowl three pints Of 1t with
a generous spoon of cream and milk
sufficient to mix, roll, cut into biscuits,
brushing the top of each with lard or
melted butter, thus giving to them
when baked a beautiful golden brown;
pop them into the oven, and now for
the slump; so take three cups Of the
flour, one egg, tablespoon of cream and
with milk make stiff batter which I
drop in spoonfuls onto the stewing ap-
pie; cover tightly for 10 minutes or
more. I then set the corn on the back
of the range to slowly heat adding
cream or milk, a generous lump Of
butter blended with spoonful Of -four,
salt and pepper to taste.
Everything Is coming on finely I'll
set the table. and as I stand back to
view it with its glass, silver and pretty
china l feel well satisfied with the re-
suit
Chug! Chug! There comes the auto
mobile and I am welcoming my friends.
Soon we are seated at the table, every
body merry and the menu satisfactory.
