Of Andrea's news.
"Bettina always gave parties, -
Andrea went on in a dreamy voice.
She gave one that day-or was
going to. The house was full OF
flowers and there were nice things
TO eat. Then she got a telegram
that meant she had to catch a
train for Kansas City shat night.
She said it was too bad that Jim

Chestnut CrOquettes
Give Necessary Protein
Plus Plenty Of Goodness

Though many homemakers aren't
conscious of it, they do, in menu
planning take into consideration
certain dishes that contain protein,
or iron, to say nothing of the presc-
ious vitamins. We are told that
certain foods contain certain neces-
sary things, SO, approaching the
brains of the individuals who de-
termine such things, we take it for
granted and serve such dishes. In
cluded among these we find very
valuable, tasty and most interest
ing one, in the form of
CHESTNUT CROQUETTES
2 cups hot mashed chestnuts
a tablespoons fat
2 eggs
Salt and pepper
Few drops onion juice or
2 tablespoons minced onion
Egg and crumbs
Mix the chestnuts, fat, slightly
beaten eggs and seasonings. Shape
into croquettes. Roll in crumbs
then in beaten egg and again III
crumbs. Dry in deep hot fat (375-
800 F.) until crumbs are brown e
to 5 minutes).
The croquettes may be served
with brown sauce or tomato sauce.
