To Sc Left-Oyers.

Cold cooked meat of every kind
may be chopped, and used for Gro
quotes, cecils, boudins, meat balls,
hash or ragout. One pint of chop
ped meat viii make seven GRO
quotes.
Cold mutton is best in pilaff or
mashed in tomato sauce.
Cold boiled rice may be reheated
moment in boiling water, or used
IN mullins, puddings or griddle
cakes.
Bits of ham near the bone make
good ham falls, and the bone goes
IN the stock pot
The water in which vegetables
are boiled is saved for soups.
Yolks of eggs must be put at
once into glass of cold water.
They may be used for mayonnaise,
custards, or boiled for au gratin or
made into gold cake.
Whites of eggs left over make
silver cake. cocoanut
cones, sponges, apple float, or DO
tatO puff.
Baked potatoes may be made into
but must be made up while
the potato is warm. They can then
be put aside to reheat at serving
time.
Waste nothing! Even a table
spoonful of stewed tomatoes adds
flavor to a brown sauce, and the
same quantity of green peas gives a
better appearance to the breakfast
omelet. The cost of living is regu-
lated by the waste from the
kitchen.
brushing pastry lightly with
syrup will give it that fine glaze
considered so desirable.

However meager be my worldly
