Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

Potato recipes will appeal TO the
new bride-these have been pre-
pared especially for the amateur
cook. She must remember that there
are different kinds of common pota-
toes. Some are naturally mealy and
light and others are OF the soggy
and woody brand.
Some cook quickly without the
bone in the center and others
cook raggedly on the outside and re-
fuse to become tender In the center.
If you find the potatoes doing this
add a cup Of very cold water. This
stops the boiling and drives the heat
to the center of the potato.
Mashed Potatoes.
Five medium sized potatoes, 2
tablespoons butter, l teaspoon salt,
pepper, milk.
Pare potatoes and let stand in cold
water to completely cover for an
hour. Put on to cook in cold water.
Cover. When about half done. add
salt. Boil until tender and drain.
Shake the pan of potatoes over
the fire to make perfectly dry. Do
not put the cover back on the po-
.tatoes as this makes them soggy.
Put through a ricer Or mash care
July Will u Wire lldSI1tT.
Be sure the potatoes are free from
Jumps If a ricer is not used. Make
a little well through the mashed po-
tatoes and fill this with milk. Put
over the fire, add butter and beat.
Add milk to make moist, beating well
with the potato masher or a cut
spoon.
Season with more salt, IL neces-
sary, and pepper. Beat well and
serve at ONE. The exact amount of
milk cannot be given, for some pota-
toes seem to absorb more milk than
others. The richer the milk used for
mashed potatoes the better the dish.
Fresh Fried Potatoes.
Pare potatoes and slice very thinly.
Let stand in very cold water for half
an hour and drain. Put half lard
and half bacon fryings in frying pan.
The melted fat should be about a
quarter of an inch deep.
When very hot put in sliced pota-
toes, sprinkle with salt and pepper
and cover. Cook over a hot fire 1O
minutes with V on. Remove
cover, reduce heat and finish cook
ing. The potatoes cook in their
steam for the 10 minutes they are
covered and crisp when uncovered
French Fried Potatoes.
Pare potatoes and cut in strips
the length of the potato. The strips
should be about three quarters of an
inch wide and deep. Let stand ar
hour in ice water. Drain and dry be-
tween towels. Use old towels as the
potato water may stain.
Drop into deep hot fat and cooi
until a light brown. Drain ano
sprinkle with salt to serve. A frying
basket is convenient to have but
wire dipper or skinner may be used
to remove the potatoes from the fat
Do not try to cook too many at &
time. Each piece should have room
at the top of the fat. When the ia
stops bubbling around the potatoes
they are done.
Potatoes Roasted With Meat.
When potatoes are roasted wit
meat each potato should be seasone'
with salt and pepper when put int
the pan. Basic with the drippings l
the rooster and allow an hour an
fifteen minutes for potatoes to cool
Do not choose large potatoes an
have them uniform in size. If tn
roast is small and is to be done rar
the potatoes should be put in as 500
as the flour is Drowned.

Today's letter is unique. 1t is the
story Of an unconventional romance
which lasted late into a woman's
life.
1t began in a day when "sublima-

They honor their father ana their
mother. They honor family Efe be-
cause they saw honor and respect in
the married life of their parents.
Yet they know and their father
knows that there was n man
whom their mother never dared II
see.
1T loved this man nearly twenty
five years and my husband did not
guess it. This man and my husband
were close friends. We are a hos
pitable family and the man often
was our guest. In consequence,
have known days of agony and
nights of prayer for strength to en-
dure the presence of the man

Finally, I became unable to en-

This is an honest confession of .
terrible experience. 1t suggests the
thought that love in marriage some
