in the same custards, desserts and salads which seem so new when varied in color, flavor or form.
 Even plain boiled rice takes on a new character when formed into a fleecy little lamb (easily accom- plished with tin lamb mold) and surrounded with a field of diff ferent vegetables, or garnished with sprigs of crisp cress.
 It does not take a great deal of time to put on these fine finishing touches which make food such an intriguing subject to the little folks. Now and then cut their whole wheat bread into fancy shapes with your ten-cent set of cooky cutters. Make jolly Cheshire cat with a grin of cream cheese, two specks of cheese for nose, two larger spots of cheese with raisin or currant centers for its eyes. These sand diches, with a dish of stewed fresh cherries, will seem like a wonder full feast. The more economical the menu, the more we should try to make it attractive in ways that add little, if anything, to it's cost. I think these few suggestions will hlep you to invent many others of a like nature little tricks that will add much pleasure to your little child's meals.

old friend Mashed Potatoes, for ex- ample, can appear in a dozen dif- ferent forms, and still be mashed potatoes. Serve them plain some times-but not always. Try varying their appearance by occasionally making them into patties and browning them quickly on both sides in hot butter. A little bit of finely minced parsley or onion soft ened in butter will give the patties an individual flavor.
 a Or, whip mashed potatoes to heecy whiteness, then sprinkle them with grated cheese and paprika, pile into little baking dish and place under the broiler to brown lightly. These are delicious and nourishing.

Into the depres- sion put a tablespoon of sauce made by mixing together 1-2 cup of grated cheese, IA cup leftover tomatoes or chilli sauce, salt and paprika to taste. Place the craters under the broiler until they brown lightly and the sauce bubbles and flows down the sides.

Or make the Spinach into flat patties, mixing it first with few bread crumbs and 2 Tablespoons of minced onion soft sned in butter.

Broth Differs From Beef Tea Bouillon Stock, Consomme
l,y BERNICE BRETT.

woul be one quart of water to one pound of meat or meat and bone, and almost any meat or fowl can be used chicken, mutton, beef, lamb, veal or any meat desired.
 To make beef tea pint of cold water is poured over one pound o1 lean round of beef cut in half inch cubes and placed in jar or utensil which can be put in a water bath never so hot that you can't put your hand in it for just second or two. Which is to say that beef tea is extracted" rather than cooked" as we do soups and brothS.
 Bouillon is made from lean beef delicately seasoned and is usually cleared by dropping egg white into it to take up all coagultions pro duced during cooking. The clarify- ing process is not attempted until after the bouillon has been cooked down to the quantity desired.
 Then let it stand so that the fat, if any, will rise to the top as the liquor cools. Return to the stove and drop in the beaten white of an egg and the crushed she'll and bring quickly to boiling point, stirring all the time. Part of the egg will come to the top and some will go to the bottom of the pan. Remove the top froth and drain the bouillon through the fine strainer or cheese cloth.
 When properly clarified bouillon is almost sclear as water, and we usually use little sauce or coloring to give it the flavor and tone we want. Then we season it a bit, sometimes with chopped par sley or lemon rind, and it is ready to be served as first course for luncheon or dinner.
 Clear broths and bouillon are used chiefly as stimulants to the digestion at the beginning of the meal and really contain little nourishment. For soups" we usu- ally add vegetables, rice, barley, vermicelli bits of meat, and so bring up the food value to point where soup can almost be consider ed as the main dish of the meal.
 To make a thick soup with broth foundation such sa Creole soups, diced vegetables are usually cooked together in butter, then a little flour added and the mixture thinned down with stock that is already made. For a moderate rich vegetable soup, the seasonings such as onion, parsley and celery may be cooked with the broth; the diced vegetables added later, after the broth has been clarified. and cooked for perhaps 20 or 30 minutes.

ing left-OVerS; Of combining one fairly expensive ingredient with chapter foods which make the lux uries go twice as far and seem twice as tasty; and usually they help to make better balanced recipes.
 But of course - like all good things - the casserole recipe has its shortcomings. It requires oven heating, and sometimes long hours of cooking, which raises the fuel cost. And in warm weather we avoid oven cooking as much as pos sible because of the heat it creates. Top-stove cooking with the help of an inexpensive dome shaped oven that fits over one flame solves that problem. There are several types of these cookers on the mar ket, all of whic hoperate on prac- tically the same principles. .

Although we are in the habit of using interchangeably the terms broth, beef tea, stock, boulilon and consomme, each has its own dis tinctive quality and method of pre- paration, and each its own parti- cular use.
 Broth differs from beef tea in that broth is made with bones and meat which usually contains some fat, while beef tea is made only of lean meat and has ! none of the gelatin which is present in the broth. Again, broth may have few seasonings, or vegetables introduced, but beef tea is always merely what its name implies, the juices extracted from a lean piece of beef, with no elaborations.

Pleasing The Man
By CHLOE HANSON

When nothing else seems to tempt the appetite of the man who is habitually depressed and lan- guid in warm weather, try this light and delicious dish which is unfamiliar enough to pique his curiosity:
 Calf's Feet on Toast 4 halves of cold boiled calf's feet 4 l tablespoon chopped onion
 1 Chopped pepper
 1 dozen mushrooms
 l tablespoon butter
 l cup water or bouillon
 F teaspoon celery salt
 A cup sherry.
 Buttered toast
 You should be able to buy the cooked calf's feet at any first class delicatessen. If not, order them at the butchers and clean, split and boil them for about 5 hours. Re- move bones from the calf's feet and cut the flesh into neat small pieces.
