of butter fat that the gelatine does
cot offer at all.
Gelatine as it comes in the ordi-
nary package cannot be dissolved in
hot liquid, but must first be
soaked in cold water until it is
completely hydrated, or until 1t will
take up no more water; then dis
solve in the hot liquid which forms
the basis of the dish. Never boil
gelatine, but stir in the hot liquid
until dissolved and remove immedi-
ately from the fire. The instantane-
GUS and ready-to-use gelatines of
course save time, as they dissolve at
once in boiling water.
Observe exactly the directions
given on the box Of the brand of
gelatine you use; but for most of
the standard makes allow two
ounces Of the gelatine to very
scant two quarts Of liquid; this will
give clear quivering Jelly for plain,
orange, grape juice or lemon Jelly;
but when fruit and nuts are added
the better proportion is two ounces
to a scant one and three-quarters
quarts of the liquid.
In moulding the different varie-
ties of bouillons, when a particularly
attractive dish is desired tiny egg
balls or cubes of cooked custard (not
sweetened) may be added, and for
this form Of gelatine dainty do not
have it stiff enough to turn out, but
pile it lightly in the bouillon cups
with the aid Of large spoon.
Both the chicken and beef bouil-
Ions as well as the clear canned
soups may he used as the founda-
ton. When the former are utilized
cook the desired amount Of water
with slice of onion, two cloves. half
a bay leaf and some chopped celery
tops, then add the meat cubes, ex-
ira seasoning if desired, and strain
before adding the gelatine. This
improves the flavor.
When the dissolved gelatine is to
be added to whipped cream or
whipped mixtures, as in Bavarian
creams, parfaits, etc, it must be
cooled before it is beaten in; other

I'll fruit davors, they may CON

yejatines themselves, of raspberry
or oshcr favor. served with cream

INTO and make possible some of the
most delicious of our frozen pud-

,hese are to be given.
The delicate aspic, the natural
zelatine of the bones. made in the
home kitchen, can be practically
duplicated by the aid Of the gelatine
box and fine sense of seasoning.
The hard, rubbery connections, in
differently or feebly favored, that
100 often are offered as "gelatines'
are enough to give these useful
foods a bad name.
Gelatinous foods are easily d.
sested and readily absorbed, but
do not carry large amount of
nourishment, and this fits them
particularly for dessert purposes.
The heavy desserts of the American
table are amazing to our foreign
friends, and probably equally so to
the discouraged stomachs which
when they are already comfortably
feplete and have sufficient job
Of digestion to attend to, find them
