FAV0RlTE DISH IN ORIENT
Saffron Pilaf, Mainly Composed Of
Rice, Considered Great oeIIcacy
In the Far East.

This is also called wedding pilaf,
because 1t is invariably made and
served during wedding dinners and
other great occasions In the Orient.
II is composed of two parts. the first
being a plain pilaf, which should BIO
mude before the second part is com.
menced. For this first part:
Ingredients: Five cupfuls OF stock,
two cupfuls OF rice, two tablespoonfuls
butter, salt and pepper.
Method-ln n deep vessel roast well
the rice In the butter and add the
broth. Season to taste and boil over
strong fire. When nearly done
slacken the fire and cover the pilaf
with piece OF muslin under the lid
OF the vessel in order to prevent the
water from the steam falling back into
the vessel After Ave or ten minutes
stir the rice lightly with a perforated
spoon and put into n hot oven till all
moisture has eyaporated and the rice
remains almost dry
Put this aside where 1t will remain
warm and proceed to make the second
part OF the pilaf.
Ingredient: Three cupfuls wafer,
one cupful of rice, two pinches OF saf-
from, two tablespoonfuls of rose water,
half cupful Of sugar.
Method-Put the washed rice and
the sugar together in a deep vessel
and boil over a moderate fire till near
ly done. Add the sugar. also the
saffron (Which must have been soaked
In the rose water for twenty-four
hours) and mix well When the rice
Is well cooked the pilnf may be con-
sidered done, when It should be poured
over the first part OF the dish. Serve
in deep plate. II the entire quantity
Is not to be used at one time then
It is advisable TO keep the sections
separate and heat separately, mixing
just before serving.

polishing the stove. But Minnie didn't
mean that at all. What she meant
was being artistic.
Shed got to be fast friends with
that Higginbotham woman, and next
day she broke the news to us that
they'd rented the old Hops place for
an art colony and some 80 students
of both sexes was coming. Sure
enough, they did come within the
week, about half and half as to the
sexes, although 1t wasn't always easy
to tell which was which from the way
they looked.
The townspeople was glad, for
things were bit dull in Linborough.
The only person who wasn't glad, out
side our house, was Sam Bum. Min

Il reminded him how Mrs. Higgin-
botham was taking all our eggs and
butter, and that sort OF reconciled
him. The next thing was the fur
nishings. Our furniture, which you
can see, came from HIS Grandmother.
But Minnie and some of the lady stu
dents borrowed our woodshed, and the
first thing we knew, the furniture was
up in the garnet, and we had some
new chairs and tables-all rough
wood with brass nails sticking out.
After that HI moved into the garrett
and spent his evenings there.
