1 am anxious to get a recipe, and after
searching through books. galore to turn to
your helpful Corner. L was invited to
rice and curry dinner, which was served
as Follows: On each plate was what ap-
peared rich, brown stew on top Of
this was boiled rice, then a vegetable
mixture, including onions and cabbage,
and on top Of all were pickles. The de-
llclous flavor was due, [ presume. to
curry powder What 1 want to know is
how to prepare this vegetable dish with
curry, or the whole menu.
MRS C. F. F.
You bring to our knowledge a brand
new dish or dinner have never eaten of
the rice and curry feast Will prac-
teal cook who has seen or prepared it
favor us with the recipe? Curry is a
popular dish in my own family, but it is
made after this fashion, called curried
chicken; Fry sliced onion in two table,
spoons of butter until 1t begins to color
htlv Strain out the onion and lay in
the kissing butter a chicken cut into
JOINTS, making the pieces as small as you
can Shake over the fire until heated
through and family colored. Turn several
times to heat 1t evenly Turn the con-
tents of the frying pan into pot rinsing
the pan with a cup of boiling water, just
enough to cover the chicken. Sprinkle over
all three tablespoons of finely minced
SAT- pork -and one OIL chopped parsley
Cover closely and stew gently until the
chicken is tender. Do not let it boil
hard at any stage of the cooking. Take
up the meat; put into colander and keep
hot over boiling water. Return the gravy
to the fire and salt Gf necessary. The salt
pork should be enough to season it. Make
"roux" of butter and Drowned flour.
When this has cooked smooth, add an
even tablespoon of curry and stir in
well. Add to the bubbling gravy, re-
turn to the pot, and cook all together
gently for 10 minutes. Serve the boiled
rice from a separate DISH putting a spoon
full upon the plate and the curry upon
it. A pleasing East Indian accompani-
ment to the curry is chilled bananas.
One is given to each eater, who peels
and slices it with a silver knife 1t is
deliciously cooling, and has a fine flavor
of its own.

WEDDING OCCURS

The marriage of Mrs. Emma B. Bur-
ford and Mr.. Winfield Wilson took place
Wednesday afternoon at the country home
OF the bride, "The Oaks" near West
End. A limited circle of friends witnessed
the VOWS, which were impressiyely
solemnized by the Rev. Mr.. Aiken, as
sisted by Mr.. Wharton.
Two little ribbon girls, Frances Douglass
and Marguerite Douglass, the daughters
of DR.. and Mrs. John Douglass, led the
way to the altar, followed by Mrs. Bur-
ford with Mr.. Wilson. The bride was
gowned for travelling in a tailored suit
of brocaded cloth in the amethyst shade
with which she wore small hat of har-
monizing color, and a corsage cluster
of parma violets Refreshments were
served after the ceremony and Mr.. and
Mrs. Wilson departed for a honeymoon
trip at the conclusion of which they will
make their home here.

In Preparing Lunches for Children

are a sort of 'rebelious Susan?' 1 sug-
gested, as I knew she had quite a little
brood to prepare for, and school days are

"Exactly," she replied. I'D much rather

Chocolate Fudge

Il should like to ask a question re-
garding chocolate fudge. 1 have made it
number of times, but it gets too hard
after standing for a while. Another
thing, beat it until it gets sugary.
That does not seem right. Should [
beat it few minutes, then let it get
hard? Will you kindly let me know?
MYRTLE r.
Cook together a cup of grated chocolate,
a cup of powdered or commissioners
sugar." half cup of milk. and quarter
cup of moasses. Stir often to prevent
scorching, and when a little dropped into
iced water hardens take from the fire.
Beat up steadily when you have added
a teaspoon of vanilla for perhaps a
minute, and pour into a buttered pan.
This is the easiest way of making the
fudge, and it usually turns out well. You
may use half milk and half cream if you
would have it richer, or all cream.
