At last weeks gathering Of the
smart little Club de Jeudi-that
group OF gourmets who meet once
week In different houses, with the
masculine members taking turns at
planning and cooking the dinner
the host decided to prove a pet
theory of his that a commonplace
ordinary dish may, by dint of care
full preparation and skillful season.
ing, be raised to really epicurean
heights.
This time, his experiment was q
pot roast, which was partly cooked
in advance and permitted to stand
overnight In its own liquor, adding
greatly to its tenderness and rich
flavor.
A nice beef shoulder clod was Sc
lected for the meat and around this
main course the following menu
was evolved:
Hot Fish Roes on Toast Rounds
Pot Roast With Vegetables
and M1caroni
Toasted Rolls Butter Curls
! Apacado and Romano Salad
"Tipsy Parson"
Coffee
| Canned herring roes were used for
the appetizers. These were removed
from the tins, drained and mashed
with silver fork with lemon juice,
cayenne, a tiny bit of minced onion
and just suspicion Of ground mus
tard. The mixture was spread upon
buttered toast rounds Of fairly large
size and run quickly under the
broiler to brown. Then they were
served at the table, with small
knives and forks-not as canapes In
the living room but as a substantial
first course for the dinner.
/ A shoulder clod Of beef, weighing
about ~ to 5 pounds, was pur-
chased for the pot roast, along with
a nice lump of fat begged from the
butcher. The meat was wiped with
a damp cloth, sprinkled with salt
and pepper and dredged lightly with
-four.
Then it was put into a kettle with
a good bit of bacon drippings and
scared on all sides until q nice
brown. Now, just enough water to
cover was poured over the meat,
along with q couple OF bouillon
cubes. three or four sliced carrots,
four sliced onions, some stalks Of
celery with the leaves on, bay leaf
and six tomatoes, cut in pieces. The
lump Of fat was placed on top Of the
meat. The kettle was covered and
the meat allowed to simmer-not
boil-for four hours.
All this was done in the evening
before the dinner was to be given.
At the end Of the cooking time, the
heat was turned Of and the meat
allowed to remain in its juices In the
kettle until the following night,
when actual dinner preparations got
under way.
Then, an hour before the meat
was scheduled to be served, It was
heated up again In its own kettle.
To the liquid was added . cup Of red

Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Miss Dix: So many young
wives, whose husbands are overseas
complain Of the loneliness and
dreariness Of their evenings. I'm
doubtedly darkness has q depressing
effect upon us. Things seem worse
at night than they do in the day
So I would suggest to these young
women to alter their schedules radi-
caly. Let them spend the days
out OF doors as much as possible and
leave most Of their active household
duties for the evening hours, so as
to give them occupation.
There Is no reason why cleaning,
laundering and much of the prepa-
ration Of food cannot be done at
night. Nothing relieves distress of
