it, Place in baking-pan with about
two inches of water, dot with bits OF
butter, and sprinkle with -four. Pu:
into moderate oven and bake for
about an hour and a half. Basic
while 1t is baking. Serve decorated
with lemon and parsley.
To fry shad cut the fish into pieces
about as large as your hand. Roll
these in -four that has been seasoned
with salt and pepper. Have a frying
pan so filled with very hot lard that
the pieces are entirely immersed and
fry golden brown. Serve very hot
with potato puff.
THE . L n G. HOUSEKEEPER
says that shad is so rich it should not
be fried and so she advises broiling It
instead in a dry, very hot skillet.
When done it should be served with
either Matted hotel or a tartare
sauce. In the former case use COM
bination OF melted butter and lemon
juice highly seasoned: in the latter
use mayonnaise as base and add ia
it pickles parsley, olives and chives
chopped fine.
A breakfast fit for a king, the
young housek eeper thinks. consists OF
broiled shad served with crisp bacon
and thin corn pone. The man who
would not enjoy this combination. she
thinks, is flt for treason, strategem
I and spells.

Pete paused to consider. 1t was a
brand new idea to him. Here 1t was
growing dark. with moro than half
Of the coal still in the she'd a two
mile drive back to Vienna and--his
quitting time but an hour off! He
looked at the coal in the shed, the
coal in the wagon and the shovel.
Then he looked at John.
Then he began to Chuckle.
"Ah guess yo' am right" he de-
clared in a relieved tone. Dat Boss
