Beginning Early


Beginning Early
Jack disliked being kissed, and be-
ing a handsome little chap, some
times had a good deal to put up with.
One day he had been kissed a lot.
Then, to make matters forse, on going
to the picture show in the evening,
instead of his favorite cowboy and
Indian pictures, there was nothing
but lot more hugging and kissing.
He returned home completely out
of patience with the whole tribe of
women.
After he had been tucked into bed
mother came to kiss him good night.
He refused to be kissed.
Mother begged and begged, till in
disgust he turned to his father, who
was standing at the doorway looking
on, and said:
Daddy, for the love of Heaven,
give this woman kiss"
Fish Dishes
The Norwegian people having so
much coast line always have fish, yet
never seem to tire of it. One of the
most delicious of fish dishes is
made from canned fsh-balls, making
a white sauce and serving them hot
in the sauce.
The lean varieties of fish they usu-
ally boil, such as cod, red snapper and
mackerel. Cut the slices of the we'll
cleaned fish in diagonal slices, as the
fish stays together better, and cook
in slightly calculated water a few
whole black peppers and little salt;
then cover and simmer until the fish
is tender.
Fish Pudding the fish lit
tie underdone in water with a Ia
blespoonful of vinegar and salt and
black peppers, and then drain and
and pound until all the fiber is brok-
en-. Now season with butter, cream
and fish stock, until it is of the con-
sistency of thin cake batter. Pour
into CREASED molds and steam for
two hours and half. Serve with
drawn butter sauce.
Cod en- Casserole.-Prepare cod as
for frying. Dot the bottom of the
casserole with bits of butter, then
place in it a layer of fish. Dust
lightly with flour, salt and pepper.
Dot with butter and repeat. When
the fish is all used pour over it half
cupful of water or fish stock, a third
Oh Cuplu OI orange juice anu the
juice of half lemon. Add parsley
and onion. Fit the cover tightly and
bake until tender
Baked Salmon.-Clean a four
pound salmon, and stuff with bread
dressing made from a cupful of
crumbs, half a cupful of finely chop
ped apple, paisley, onion, and salt
and pepper to taste. Add fish stock
and a beaten egg to moisten. Wrap
in an oiled paper and place in a bak-
ing dish with water and butter. Bake
in a quick oven for an hour, basting
often, so that the paper is kept
moist. Thicker the gravy slightly
with flour and serve garnished with
radishes and parsley, or lemon and
parsley.
Fried Cod Roe.-Slice the roe and
fry a rich brown in butter. On each
slice is laid a slice of lemon and a
small butter ball mixed with chop
ped parsley Garnish with slices of
tomato and serve cold.
