TODAY's HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
BY MARY LEE.
Leftover Fish.

The use of leftover Ash is always a
problem for the housekeeper. Thought
and care are required to make it ap-
petizing
Here are few recipes that may
prove helpful in solving the problem of
a second day fish
Fish curry is more or less novelty
here. and furnishes an excellent means
of serving a rather havorless fish Re
move all the bones and fake the fish
into small pieces: then prepare this
curry: Heat small piece of dripping
in a casserole. slice an onion into it
and fry until brown. Add dessert
spoon of curry powder and dessert
spoon of -four. mixed. Stir until the
-four is brown and smooth. Add a tea
spoon each of Worcester. tomato and
anchovy sauces and half pint OF milk
Set this to boil for FIVE minutes TO
cook the -four. Lift the casserole from
the fire and stir in the fish: replace the
casserole on the back of the stove and
cook slowly for about an hour. stirring
occasionally. Serve very hot. surround
ed by a ring of boiled rice.
HEDGEREE.-kedS is an old
fashioned English recipe for serving
cold fish. Boil one egg hard. chop the
white finely and rub the yolk through
a sieve. Flake the cold fish into small
pieces with a silver fork. removing
the skin and bones. Melt about an
ounce of butter in casserole. Put in
the fish. the chopped white OF egg. a
cup Of cold boiled rice and one beaten
egg: season with salt and pepper. Stir
over the fire until thoroughly heated,
then place the kedgeree in a baking
dish. cover the top with the grated
yolk of egg and set the dish in the
oven to brown slightly. Garnish with
parsley and serve.
a FISH SALAD is palatabl and the
larger kinds OF fish that have few
bones are best for this. Use either
French or mayonnaise dressing. but
mayonnaise is hv far the best. Garnlsh
with capers and olives.
SCALLOPED FISH. = crea med and
scalloped fish. served in individual
dishes, rameauins. scallop shells or
souffle cases or in baking dish. is a
popular way of using leftover fish.
If individual dishes are used-and these
are most desira b,e-melt little but
ter in each. Bone. skin and flake the
fish, season well with salt and pepper
and mix with little white sauce or
cream Pour this into the rameauins.
sprinkle the top with bread crumbs
and dot with small pieces of butter:
then dust little grated cheese over all
and set the dishes in the oven. Do not
leave them in long enough for the fish
to dry 1t should be thoroughly heated
and the cheese and crumbs slightly
Drowned.
Serve Immediately with small sand
wiches of brown bread and butter.

To Make Good Pastry.

Although the United States is pecul-
iarly the home of the pie, Americans
as a peonIe are not good pastry makers.
Every little lunch counter. small bake
shop and bakers wagon carries its
stock of pies
The making of flaky pastry is an art
not difficult to acquire. Success lies
in The mixing and handling Of the
dough rather than in the proportions
of materials used Recipes for pastry
may differ and produce equally good
results Proper manipulation of the
dough is the knack that must he ac
Huired.
\ rule to he remembered in pastry
making is that only light hands make
good pastry. Fine white -four makes
the lightest pastry. but this is not a
necessity except for puff paste. Drdi-
nary household flour can he used.
All flourS. with their raising. should
he thoroughly Sifted and aerated before
mixing. Eutter and lard may he used
in equal proportions. and pure vege-
table buffers or fats are excellent.
Heavily sai:ed cooking butter should
b" avoided. as it is likely to have a
strong taste. Time and trouble will he
saved in the mixing If the fat. when al
all hard. is first beaten to cream
MI pastry should he mi&ed with very
cold water. The board and pin should
he Toured light. and the dough rolled
out with short. sharp rolls. lift the pin
constantly and never go over the edges.
Pastry should he handled as little as
possible. and the first that is rolled is
the best. Bake in hot oven. so that
il MAY rise quickly: open the oven door
only when necessary. and be careful
not to bang il when closing.
Here is an English recipe for faky
pastry. with directions for mixing it:
butter or other fats. one teaspoon OF
baking powder well together. and add
salt to taste. Cream the butter or fat
on Il plate and divide il into four parts.
Rub ope-uuarte" lightly into the -four.
When fine pour little water into the
center. use Il knife for mixing and
make an elastic dough. Flour the
board and pin and roll the paste into
long strip. Put on another portion
of the fat in little dabs. sprinkle witt
-four. cut into three strips and lay one
on top OF the other, pound with the
pin ana roll out again. Repeat this
performance until the fourth portion of
butter is used.
The pastry then is ready for use.
Roll it out again. cut in the desired
sizes and bake in a hot oven. Flaky
pastry rises in layers, air being folded
in At each turn
This method will produce a delicious.
light, ffaky pastry if the directions be
followed carefully

UNEXPECTED MEALS.

often time Is more valuable than
money. in the home well as in busi-
ness. For instance, if unexpected guests
orrive five minutes before lunch hour
on the day you had told the cook you
would like nothing but biscuit and a
glass of milk You would probably
count the expenditure of little money
no extravaganza if by spending it you
could spread forth an attractive lunch
con for your guests. Where there are
good delicatessen shops and caterers in
the neighborhood they reap the re
ward of your desire to save time at
the expense OF money. But where these
popular aids TO quick housekeeping do
not exist IT is necessary to make up for
their lack by having a larder furnished
with supplies that can be quickly con-
verted into dainty dishes for the unex-
pected meal.
Eggs can always be quickly turned
into an omelet. made savory with the
addition Of minced ham or chicken.
parsley or little jelly just before It is
turned. A baked omelet. too, with
cooked macaroni or cooked green peas
or asparagus heads added. is good. And
a plain omelet served with sauce of
tomatoes and sweet green peppers.
simmered together with water or a lit
tie stock until tender, is good enough
to serve as the main dish of light
summer luncheon.
II there is cold meat in the pantry il
can be minced. mixed with a little may
onnaise and converted thus into the fill
ing for tempting sandwiches. Os: it can
be minced simmered with a little
chOnped peDDer. tomato ma rsley and
