While Baltimoreans are supposed,
according to the books. to live on
terrapin, the fact is that that de-
hghtful beastie is now 80 scarce and
50 expensive that terrapin stew is
about as far out Of the reach Of the
man of the town as buffalo steak is
to the resident of the Western plains.
Terrapin may be had-but at a ter
rifle price.
But there is another dish, not
nearly 50 well known away from
Baltimore. which is enjoyed during
the season by the rank and file of
Baltimoreans-and that Is the
famous crab cake.
And 1t Is this crab cake that the
last meeting Of the Club de Jeudi
enjoyed as the central dish Of their
Thursday night feasting. The four
couples gathered around q grand
dinner:
Grilled MGrrotD Bones
Baltimore Crab Cakes
Cole Slato French Fried Potatoes
Watermelon
Coffee
Incidentally, may We point out
that it would be rank treason for q
Marylander to consider q crab cake
made of any sort OF crab meat except
that Of the great crabs OF Chesa-
peake Bay-great, that is, in quality
relatively small in size, compared
to the monsters from Pacific waters.
However. that does not mean that a
very good crab cake cannot be made
from the canned crab to be found
now and then in food shops-even
though a nat1e of the Free State
will assure you he would ehoke on
such an outrage. But w. get to
that later.
Now, for the grilled marrow bones.
This Is mans dish which one and
all enjoy-though it is as rarely
seen as the proverbial hens teeth.
All one does is speak to the butcher
day or 50 in advance and have
him save some marrow bones. These
he will saw in three Inch lengths
one length for each portion. And
then he will split them lengthwise
with his cleaver. Now they are ready
for grilling. Wipe them clean and
dry. Spread little prepared mus
tard over the open surface and add
pepper and salt. Lay the bones, fiat

Can any of your readers tell me how
I might thin these to spreading

FRICASSEE OF LAMB.

A short time ago your very fine

family finds delicious and 1t can
be made of cheap cuts Of beef or

of lamb and had the butcher cut
of all the chops possible and cut
the remainder into small pieces.
Another time I used small pieces of
beef.
Cut meat In small pieces. about
pinch cubes; salt. pepper and roll
in flour. Melt suet. pork fat, or
other fat. in heavy pan, brown meat

OVEN CANNING.
REQUESTED by Mrs. A. Z. r.

Among your many helpful recipes
and suggestions I have not seen one
for oven canning. Some of us have
only small amount Of vegetables or
fruit at time, and do not possess
pressure cooker, so simple and
sure recipe would be welcome. So
if any one has such recipe should
be very appreciative.
COUPON II.

I read with interest the comment

women who stormed the shoe stores

I agree with those who disapprove
Of such behavior-and I feel that 1t
puts women in general in a very poor
Lght-which is hard on those of us
who have honestly tried to comply

SAUERKRAUT IS a Belgian
dish! Would you ever have
guessed il? Gibbons IN his
"Decline and Fall of the Roman
Empire says il was first made
by Belgian soldiers of a Roman
legion in England from wild
cabbage discovered along the
Thames River near London,
Salted and carried back 10 Bel

the Roman Empire. From there
the idea spread over Europe
We're indebted for this infOr-
nation to Charles Holiday, a
gardener al 1883 Northlawn,
who also gives us the recipe
that ne has used for more than
so years, for an odorless kraut;
