HOT WEATHER.
DISHES
BY Hannah Wing

" HE hot weather brings a
desire for dishes, and even
- whole meals, that are cool
both in appearance and taste. To
affect such dishes there is no bet
ter medium to use than the ever
ready gelatin. 1t may be used to
present everything in the menu
from soup to dessert in a chilled
form If desired.
The plain, unflavored gelatin is
best to use in general meal plan
ming, as the flavors and seasoning
may be better controlled by the
user. There are no difficulties in
using this gelatin. One has only
to learn that 1t must be slightly
softened in small quantity Of
cold water before 1t is dissolved
in hot water or any other hot
liquid that is to be. used.
One tablespoon of the gelatin
will set one pint Of liquid mate

have the dish ready for use. more

Among the meat dishes that
may be served cold are the
jellied meats. the meat mousses,
and the jeIlied meat salads and
leaves. Cold sauces are sometimes
served with cold meats just as
hot sauces are with hot meats.
The favorite of these Is a Chaud
Froid sauce which has been stiff
fened with gelatin. This is made
by adding one tablespoon Ct soft
ened gelatin to a white sauce
which has been made with awhile
or chicken stock instead Of milk.
The meats are coated with the
