MODERN "HUMBLE PIE"
DISH THAT HAS MANY THINGS TO
RECOMMEND IT..
OF Ancient Origin, II Is Well Worth
Copying by the Housewife Of the
Present Day--lneredlents Gen.
orally on Hand.

Humble pie is still met with in the
rural districts Of England. Scotland
and Ireland. 1t is not merely the
%proverbial dish which the proud must
sometimes eat. Originally it was a
meat or game pie made for the SER
wants of noblemen and furnished an
%appetizing and economical method of
utilizing the less desirable parts of
animals brought in from the chase.
After a prolonged and successful
hunt a p%rodigious humble pie was
made sufficient for all the r%etainers
of the estate. This was eaten in the
great kitchen after the nobleman and
his guests had enjoyed the choicer
portions. The pastry used for this
huge pie was originally made from
the ~drippings from the roasts of veni-
son or game, which increased the
savory flavor of the finished dish.
The modern humble pie can be
baked in a deep t%ireproof pudding
dish of a size to meet the needs of
the family. Line the dish with plain
crust and place large pieces of ray
potato here and there, so that the
crust shall be weighted down and not
lose it's shape while baking. When
partly cooked remove from the
oven, take out the pieces of raw
potato and fill with a hot mixture of
whatever material is at hand, such as
remnants of cooked veal, beef, liver,
ham or fowl, enriched with bits Of
finely chopped suet, highly seasoned
with onion Juice, minced parsley, pep
per and salt, and moistened with
gravy and broth.
Stale bread, cut in dice, cubes of
potato or other cooked vegetable may
be added if the supply of meat is
scant. Smooth the top of the filling
neatly, arrange strips of crust in lat
tice fashion and return to the over
until the top is we'll Drowned. This
dish somewhat resembles the econom
ical shepherds pie. which is topped
with mashed potato instead of crust
and which does not have anything be
tween the meat filling and the fire
proof dish.
Either of these dishes makes {
hearty meal if served with gravy Of
tomato sauce and affords an economi
cal and easy method of utilizing left
overs of meat or vegetables. Wher,
Irish stew is left from a previous
meal this will be found a good fillinl
for a humble pie.

But Mary did not. A sensible, truly

a sweeter smile than ever when he
told her of his decision.

cite crepe, and chiffon, as well as the
metal gauzes, suggest themselves for
more fanciful boleros. Fine laces run
with silver or gold threads that out
line the pattern, or the metallic lace3,
will make lovely little jackets and d
new fnery by way of variety to the
evening or afternoon gown or to the
dance frock.
Even an amateur or a beginner in
needlework ought to have no trouble
in making one of these fascinating &C
~cessories of dress. There are only
two seams to sew at each side, the
shoulder and underarm seam. They
are so short that it will not tax the
patience to fell them by hand. Hand
work is to be recommended for all
these small garments and is impera-
tive when the metal laces are used.
If you are considering what to make,
as an acceptable holiday gift for some
friend, the little bolero presents few
difficulties and many charms.

The Goddess of Fashion appears to
be taking a vacation, or perhaps she
has a%bdicated; at any rate she is is
suing few edicts. We do not hear
thou shalt or thou shalt not" and
are left to do as we please, with a
world of new designs in hats and
gowns to choose from. They include
many beautiful things.
In the early season there was a
universal vogue for the black velvet
hat. y 1t is a becoming thing, this
black velvet hat, but when ninety-nine
out of a hundred women wear it it
becomes monotonous. The demand
has swung away to black hats in
plush and velours and to the dark col
ors that look so well with the metal
trimmings and handsome furs and
feathers.
Two hats are pictured here which
are SO good in shape and in design
and in every particular that they may
be chosen with the comforting CON
viction that there is nothing better.
One is a moderately wide -brimmed
model, with lines lifting a little at the
front and a little more at the back.
Its small, round crown is concealed by
three soft half-plumes mounted over
1t. They are topped by one of those
odd steel ornaments mounted on a
stem, which look like nothing on the
earth OIL in the air above it. Perhaps
this is a part of their fascination.
A hat of this kind must be devel-
oped in materials of excellent quality
and will be beautiful in d~ark-colored
velvet with plumes in shades of the
same color, or in black.

For Hot Biscuit.

Any hostess who prides herself on
her delicious biscuit should not fail
to keep them tasty by having them
covered during the neal, so that they
will retain the heat. An attractive
cover can be made of white linen hav-
ing a square center and four pointed
ends. On one of the pointed pieces
two biscuit might be embroidered.
To make the design more realistic
you can tint the biscuits brown and
then outline the edges of them. Or,
in place of using the design, en-
broider the words Hot Biscuit" on
the linen. Have such a ready
for the next plate of hot biscuit you
serve to your friends and enjoy the
praise you will receive for your
n~eedlework and your culinary ability.

Culinary Kinks.

Sometimes it is convenient to re-
roa a joint of meat hat has been cut
into. One of the best ways to do
this is to prepare some mashed po-
tatoes and to owe the joint all over
with this till 1t is even in shape.
a knife dipped in hot water can be
used to smooth it over. If you wish
your dish to look extra nice brush the
potato over with a beaten egg. You
will need a quick oven and as soon az
the potato is brown the meat is ready.
Serve it with sauce or gravy.

Rule for Baking a Cake.

Divide the time into four parts. Dur
ing the first part the cake should rise
and not color at all. In the second it
should continue to rise and begin
family to color. In the third it should
become evenly tinted a very light
brown. In the fourth period the heat
may be slightly diminished, if neces-
sary, and the cake will shrink a very
little from the sides of the pan. A
covered pan is useful in some ovens.
Do not move the cake during the sec
ond and third quarters. Let it cool
while hanging in the inverted pan.

At the election in November: 1913,
