CHAPTER XIV:
Some Secret Diplomacy


The evanishment of Captain Mag

critical a moment. was too much in

ways to arouse much comment Every

New popcorn may be used as soon
as it has dried sufficiently, and the
crop is usually ready, if properly
stored, by Christmas time. If old
corn will not pop because of having
become too dry, the popping quality
may be restored by moistening or
sprinkling with water before using.

Following Old Customs
With New Delectables,

There is always something at
tractive about sitting up ito see the
old year out and the new year in"
and so many informal parties are
given on this occasion that four
supper menus (arranged for differ
ent numbers of guests have been in
cluded with the budgets for the serv-
ice Of each.
A glance at the menus and the
cost will show how an excellent meal
may be obtained at home and at
much less expense than the same
supper served at a restaurant.
To prepare the pimento puree for
the clam broth in the first supper
menu whip half a cupful of double
cream solid, flavor delicately with
salt and celery salt and fold in a
teaspoonful Of pimento that has been
pressed through a sieve. Place two
teaspoonfuls of this puree on top of
each cupful of clam bouillon.
For the frozen dessert in menu
number two scald three cupfuls of
milk and add three eggs beaten with
one and a half cupfuls of sugar and
a few grains of salt. Cook until the
mixture coats the back of the spoon

then the heat reduced to finish bak-
ing; or it may be put into a mod
crate oven $3.50 degrees Fahrenheit
to 3I5 degrees Fahrenheit) before it
is quite so well risen, and allowed to
complete the rising process while the
oven is being heated up to 400 de-
grees Fahrenheit or little higher,
after which the temperature is re-
duced to complete the baking process.
Results are equally good in either
case, if the procedure has been prop
erly followed, is the opinion of the
United States Department Of Aeri
culture.
Again, ovens Of varying sizes and
construction do not always bake in
the same way, even though the ther-
mometer may record the same tenn
perature in every case.
Choose temperatures with the fol-
lowing principles in mind:
|. The larger sizes of loaf, roll,
muffin, potatoes and such usually re-
quire lower temperatures for longer
periods, and the smaller sizes higher
temperatures and shorter periods,
other things being equal.

important. A half-pound sponge cake

By Virginia Carter Lee

IN PLANNING the menu for the
New Years dinner, try to make it
entirely different from those served
on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
The family will welcome a new main
course, and several variations of the
usual turkey or roast chicken are
suggested here In the budgeted din
ners which are arranged for parties
Of different numbers.
In the first dinner menu the cost
for two people may seem excessive,
but it should be taken into con-
sideration that there will be any
number of left-overs that will do
for one or more subsequent meals,
and guest may be even asked in if
desired, for there will be ample
service for three.
In planning this dinner, halved
grapefruit may be substituted for
the soup, and the cost will be some
what reduced. The Devonshire
cream with the apple macaroon pie
is an old English sauce and is made
by putting pan of fresh, unsteril-
lied milk in a cold place for twenty
four hours. Then place over hot
water and scald, but do not boil.
Put again in a cold place for twelve
hours and remove the thick, clotted
cream which will form on top.
The jugged hare is another Eng
lish dish and is particularly good.
The dessert for the same dinner is
made by covering vanilla eclairs
with pistachio icing. Dust thickly
with chopped pistachio nuts and
just previous to serving insert a
layer of pistachio ice cream inside
on top of the cream filling. The
tops may also be decorated with
candied cherries.
The baked fresh ham in the
third dinner menu will be found
quite as delicious as a roast fowl,
especially if served with oyster
dressing, made with grapefruit juice
instead of vinegar, and add the
tiniest pinch of curry powder.
In the fourth dinner menu is in
cluded the old-time favorite-boned
turkey. This is particularly delicious
and extremely easy to carve, since
there are no bones to interfere with
carving. Save the bones for another

OF heat for best results in popping
should make good corn begin to pop
in one and half minutes. If it
begins to pop in less time, or if too
much corn has been put in. it will
not be so crisp and haky. If it takes
much longer for the popping to be-
gin the heat is probably not great
enough, or the corn may be of poor
quality.
If the corn is in frst-class condi
tlon one pint of grains properly ap-
plled will give from fifteen to twenty
plnts of popped corn.
Styles of Serving
The regulation way is to pop the
corn, salt it, sprinkle with hot,
melted butter and eat at once. The
ofdfashioned way was to pop the
corn in covered skillet with butter.
lard and salt being added before
the popping began. Dry popped corn
can be eaten with sugar and cream
like breakfast food. Children will
often eat cereals in this form when
they cant be induced to eat plain
cooked cereals.

" INTER TIME is popcorn time,
and whether you inhabit a
wee kitchenette apartment with a
single gas plate or q more spacious
dwelling with perhaps an open CRATE
or real fireplace, popping corn may
easily be an interesting part of YOUR
winter evening programs.
The informality and fun of the
merrily hopping and jumping grains
and the undiguised delight of eating
1T, either salted and buttered or
sugared, or in delicious taffy balls,
are recommendations enough. When
you add the fact that corn eaten
this way is the whole of the grain

there is an added reason for indulg-
