DELICIOUS MEAT DISHES

AspIc is made pretty much like soup
stock except that the liquid is strained
and clarified for the jelly. To three
pounds of meat veal. chicken or lamb,
must be reduced to one third with the
cooking for the jelly to form. Let the
meat simmer slowly until done and
then become cold n the liquid: then
remove skin and bones and shred it
finely with a fork.
Return the liquid to the fire and
when it comes to q boil throw in the
crushed shell and white of one egg.
Quickly take off the scum that rises
and strain at once through cheese
add celery salt, white pepper. lemon
juice or vinegar until it is piquant. Put
the meat in mold. pour over the
liquid and, when chilled put directly
against the ice. This dish may be
adorned and varied by putting with
the meat slices of the beet and hard
boiled egg, thin slivers of minced Gel
cry, etc Again.. half of the aspic
may be chilled separately and used to
ornament the top of the mold when it
is served.
The tin or crockery shapes in which
the meat is put for chilling must al
ways be dipped in cold water first.
Serving plates must also be cold or the
meat jelly. which is the most delicious
feature in any of these dishes, will turn
again to liquid when heated.

The giblets-the neck, gizzard, heart,
liver and feet-nust be boiled separate

when they are thoroughly cooked The
feet give the gravy glutinous and de-
l1cious quality, and the boiled water used
for the giblets should be used for the
small quantity the whole chicken needs
to keep from burning. So it is best to
boil the gibletS first.

When Mrs. AtcAdoo, then Miss Eleanor

Tips for Housewives.

A delicious relish to use as dressing
for vegetable salad or with cold meat
has beets for it's foundation. Bake the
beets till tender: then drop them into
cold water and slip off the skins. Press
through a ricer, and to a cupful of the
beet pulp add two tablespoonful of
lemon juice and stir in gradually half
cupful of olive oil. Season with
celery salt and onion juice. Beat until
perfectly smooth.
When cooking liver and bacon get a
sour apple, slice it very fine and add it
to the gravy. This will impart a. de-
licious flavor.
Instead of adding bluing to water in
which lace has been rinsed try making
the final rinsing in milk; it gives a
lovely creamy tone to the lace.
Soiled spots may be removed from
white silk or satin by rubbing them
with a fine flannel cloth dipped in a
little alcohol or ether.
