With Our Mothers and Grandmoth-
ers-EnglIsh Rhubarb PUDDING
Apple and Pie Plant PIE.
(py Ida AMEs wILLIs,,

10y LIDA AMES WILL1S.)
In response to several recent To-
quiries for recipes for rhubarb and
gooseberry dishes, such as mother or
grandmother used to make" the fol.
lowing list has been compiled:
Rhubarb Compote.-This is Aunt
Betty Martins recipe: Make a rich
strip by adding sugar to the water in
which long strips of orange peel have
been boiling until tender, allowing
two oranges to FIVE pounds Of rhu-
barb. Drop into the hot strip a
Single layer of tender rhubarb cut in
three-inch lengths, and cook gently
until clear. Remove with skinner
and add another layer. Use tender
red stalks that do not require peeling,
If you grow your own plants.
Baked Rhubarb. Aunt Betty's
grandniece sends this old-time recipe:
Wash and peel the stalks and cut in
inch pieces, place in a covered pit
kin or bean pot, sprinkle each layer
well with white sugar, allowing at
least a cupful to a quart of rhubarb.
Bake in moderately hot oven about
an hour and a half. In olden times
this was placed. with the baking, in
the Dutch oven.
Old English Rhubarb Pudding
Make a suet crust with one cupful of
finely chopped suet, a pinch Of salt
and two cupfuls of -four tossed well
together. Then mix with just enough
water to make a dough. Do not ham
die much. Roll into a sheet, line a
buttered baking dish with the dough,
reservtng enough to cover the top.
Wash, wipe and pare off the outside
skin from six stalks OF rhubarb and
cut into small pieces. Fill the basin
with the suet, strewing a cupful of
moist sugar through it. Cover with
the crust, pinching the edges togeth-
er, tie up in a cloth, well Toured
inside, put into a deep saucepan and
boil for two and a half hours con-
tinuously, or place in a steamer and
steam for two hours, first cutting a
hole in the middle Of the top crust to
allow the steam to escape. When
done, turn from the basin, Ii you wish,
and serve with sugar or a hard
as you prefer.
Apple and Pie Plant Pie.-This is a
recipe from Missouri: Use equal
quantities Of tart apples and pie plant,
or garden rhubarb, and a good pie
paste. Peel and slice the fruit and
I'LL an earthen dish heaping. cover
ing thickly with sugar, letting it sift
through the fruit. Wet edges of dish,

inch thick and cover the pie with 1t.
being careful not to press the edges
of the paste. Cut two or three lit
tie Sits in the pastry and bake for
three-Quarters of an hour In a mod
erately hot oven, or until the fruit
is quite done. Sift the powdered
sugar over the top of the pie and
serve hot as a pudding, or cold.
Rhubarb Lemonade. - When you
have rhubarb juice left over from
stewed fruit you will find 1t a nice
substitute for lemonade, or mixed with
orange juice it may be frozen and
served as a refreshing and cooling
ice.

him the address of Eleanora. whom he is
determined to see. Courtlandt enters
