Will you please give recipes for cas- serole cooking dishes for family of four? Can some of your contributors furnish some, every detail being given?
 MARY H."
 Any covered pudding dish may be con verted into casserole. It is well, how ever, to have one that Is rather good look ing, since it must be set upon the table in order to serve the contents. To make casserole of chicken. clean and truss as for roasting, but do not stuff. Put into the casserole two tablespoons of butter, a sliced carrot and chopped onion. A couple of bay leaves may be added if you wish. Set the covered casserole in the oven until the vegetables are lightly Drowned. Pour in then two cups of well seasoned consomme with the chicken and cook, covered, until the chicken Is ten der. If young, this should be in about 40 minutes. Ten minutes before serving it pour in two tablespoons of cooking sherry and cover again. When you are nearly ready to dish it drop into the casserole a dozen small potato balls cut with a gouge and then Drowned in fat or butter. At the same time add dozen French mushrooms. Season with pepper and salt and leave the cover off to let the chicken brown for 10 or 15 minutes. Baste twice with the gravy in the dish. Sprinkle with minced parsley and serve in the cas- serole. You may substitute lamb or veal or calfs liver for chicken. There Is no more palatable preparation of chicken than this. It should be better known in America. I emphasize the request that housewives will send in recipes for the use of the casserole. Do not let the for eign name terrlfy you. It Is nothing more nor less than a pudding dish with close cover.

In the east, according to a statement Of
the Russian military authorities, the Ger
mans operating in Galicia have sustained
a serious defeat.
The French statement Of today is one of
the most optimistic of any which has been
ISSUED since the Germans settled down IN
trenches across France and the long siege
began. Ii indicates that the offensive
movement of the allies is even more gen
eral than has been disclosed
Although the announcement gives few
details. references Ia the capture OF en-
trcnched positions a1I The blowing up OF
IL French trench by Germans tends to
show that the engagement now in progress
is being contested imiousy.
The statement refers to the advantages
of the allies from Arras southwark along
the Aizne on the heights OF the Mcusc. in
the Argonne and in the Nosges. Roughly
speaking this takes in all of the line from
the Belgian border across France and intc
Alsacc.
Concerning the battle in Flanders

the bit of news that she had seen
Rachel Moore in Brattleboro, but at
that time she did not know that any

parents here in the home Of the friend
who had sent them the information,
and if is expected they will start on
their return to Copenhagen tomorrow
as their presence here is not necessary
if there is no preliminary hearing.

and for some time afterwards, wa.
hysterical and declared she would blow
out her brains rather than leave Mitch

Yesterday, tried to hide from the of
ficer, and the girl and Mitchell S
