A New Way With Leftover Ham
By Caroline B. King
 Home Enonomics and Culinary Authority

No matter how delicious the boiled or baked ham was when you first served it, or even the day afterward, there is sure to come an occasion when you look at it and wonder how you will ever face the family if you set it before them again. Food is like that, you know heavenly the first day, delicious the next, acceptable the third. But well, you know how it is, espe- cially with the end of whole baked or boiled ham.
 But have you ever tried trans forming it into an entirely differ ent and intriguing dish? Some thing so unlike it's first appearance that it can scarcely be recognized :? If not you will enjoy the method am about to describe, and I'm quite sure the family will demand this good ham a la Raleigh so often you will be obliged to purchase the cooked variety just to satisfy their longing.
 Ham a la Raleigh requires l cup of cooked diced ham, or you may shred it if more convenient, A glass plum or other tart jelly, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1a tablespoon butter, and 4 glass sherry. (Corned beef or tongue may be substituted for ham.)
 Arrange the diced ham in a bak- ing dish, blend the other ingre- dients together, adding paprika and salt as we'll if necessary, pour over the meat, cover and set in a mod crate oven to simmer slowly for half an hour or a little longer if necessary. The sauce should per- meate the meat well in order to bring out the haunting, delicate flavor which is so desirable.
 Serve on a platter with border of mashed or Drowned sweet pota- toes, or French fried sweet pota- toes, as you like. In either case

Sister Ma,y's Kitchen
By MARY F. DAGUE MIA Service SfaffH Writer

This little treatise on pie max - ing is intended especially for the young housekeeper who is on needles and pins about her first Thanksgiving dinner. Pie, believe it or not, is easy to make if you will follow closely reliable rec ipe and use the best materials. The first important item Is short ening. Butter is expensive but II does give pleasant flavor. How ever, many cooks prefer iaro' others swear by vegetable snort ening, and still others wouldn use anything but oil. You take your choice-but whatever 1t fs, make sure it's good of its kind. Cold water and cold, firm fat give a flaky light crust. Pastry madp with hot water and liquid rat IS more compact but very snort. | For one nine-inch pie with tWl crusts you will need: | One and one-half cups sifteo flour. scant teaspoon salt,. 1-4 teaspoon baking powder (opt1onai hui 1t increases the flakiness), 5 tablespoons firm shortening, 4 ta- blespoons cold water.
 Use General Purpose Flour Sift flour once before measur- ing. I like a good general purpose flour for pastry, but some cooks claim 10 get better results with pastry flour. Add salt and baking powder to flour and sift into mix ing bowl, Measure shortening, dropping it through the flour mix ture by the tablespoonful. Cut shortening into flour with two knives or pastry bIender. Don't try to use your finger tips, because the heat of the hand warns the shortening. ,,
 Next add the water gradually, sprinkling one tablespoonful over small area of the dry mixture and working it in with a knife. That avoids the danger of too much water and tough crust.
 Cut off about half the dough and roll on a lightly-floured mold ing board. Roll about one-eighth inch thick, rolling away from the center and always lifting the roll ing pin at the end of each stroke. Make the sheet little larger than the pie dish and keep 1t as round as possible.
 Regardless of the old saying that Its a poor pie crust that can't grease it's own dish," you will find it keeps your under-crust from absorbing the filling if you do grease the pie dish. For this. use the shortening that goes into l the crust.
 Dampcn for Upper Crust Pie Fold the sheet of pastry in half and place in the pie dish, having the center fold of tHe pastry ex- actly on the center lifNe of the pie

The noce thing about a casserole of meat is that it may be the whole dinner or lunch all in one dish, This one-dish combination has lots of advantages. It saves on dishes for one thing and that appeals to all of us. But it also gives such an excellent opportunity to use left over meats or extend small amounts of meat to serve the whole family and 10 combine favors which are just little different from the usual pot roasts, chops or stews.
 One other advantage which must not be overlooked as the ease witt. which such meats are kept hot. If the family is late for dinner or the lunch must be kept hot over two noon lunch hours the covered glass, metal or crockery dish will retain a low even heat with no danger of burning.
 Either frash or left over meat, ham, bacon or fresh or cured sausages combine equally well in the casserole combination. With them may be used cooked rice, noodles, spaghetti, bread or crdack : sr crumbs. left over potatoes CT biscuit crust.
 The one serving of tomatoes, corn, peas, etc, left over from the day before may go into the mix ture along with bits of green pep per and onion, chopped parsley or a little tomato catsup enr favor ing.
 Some favorite combinations are spaghetti with meat. tomatoes. corn, peppers and chopped olives; lima beans with bacon and tona- to, scalloped smoked sausages and potatoes, meat and cegetable pie with crisp biscuit crust. A cas- serole lined with cooked noodles or rice mixed with beaten egg and filled with cut meat and cream sauce is an attractive dish and a tasty one.

Then trim the dough even with the edge of the pie dish by running sharp knife around the edge of the plate. This rim is dampened for an upper crust pie before the upper crust Is fitted over and then the rolling pin IS run around the rim to press the bottom and top crusts firmly together. Flute afterward.
 Pre-heat the oven to 45O de- grees F. and bake for ten min utes if you are baking single crust with a custard-like filling. Then reduce heat to $50 degrees F.. and finish baking for 30 or 40 minutes.

roasted and served rare. The haunch also is often roasted, but should be we'll done. Steak should be cut about half an inch thick and cooked like beef steak broiled, pan-broiled or fried, usu- ally rare.
 Any cut of venison is improved if allowed to stand in a oil and vinegar for several hours or over night before cooking.
 In roasting the saddle, reduce the heat after about half an hour and calculate cooking time from this point. Allow twenty minutes to the pound. Thus four-pound roast would need an hour and fifty minutes.

Cooking Guinea Hen

COOk1nS OulHCd ACA
 Guinea hen, although not 2 game bird, has gamey flavor aifd may. be roasted, too. An onion, few stalks of celery and three or four tablespoons butter dropped in- side. either guinea fowl or pheas- ant before roasting give delicious flavor. Take them out before you serve the bird.
 The slightly fishy taste common to wild ducks can be overcome by rubbing them with a cut onion ard putting a few uncooked cranberrles in each duck when roasting. Wild rice is grand with duck.
 Game needs as accompaniment any tart sauce or jelly and green salad. Vegetables and potatoes had better be a separate course at this meal. The breast of game birds is large and full and will carve nicely into several portions. Venison, properly cooked, and served with currant jelly sauce is the most delicious of the wild meats. It is easily digested too. The saddle or loin is considered , the finest cut. Plenty of fat is an Indication of good duality--in fact, venison can hardly be too fat.

Undoubtedly a great hunt pre- ceded the very first Thanksgiving, dinner. Pheasant, partridge, duck and venison and rabbit were all plentiful in New England-more so than now, though we still have them. s
 These smaller birds are ideal Thanksgiving fare for the modern small family. They are no more difficult to cook than chicken and turkey, either.
 It's best to broil the smaller ones either whole or in halves and serve on toast with an orange jelly sauce. The lrager ones you roast as you do. chickens and serve in much the same way except minus the usual savory dressing.
 Game birds are servde rare, but not too rare. One good way to cook them is in casserole. There's little fat, so brown small birds or the joints or large ones in hot but ter melted in a heavy frying pan. Then pack in casserole and pour butter over. Cover closely and roast !n a hot oven (4OO degrees F) for two hours. Allow pound of butter to five pounds of meat.
