in the way of entertainment to add
to this-perhaps game OF some sort
that would be really fun for grown
ups. or anything that some one
might have worked out successfully.
Is there a theme generally carried
out for this sort of party? / shall
be anxiously looking forward to re-
plies in the next few days Tor my
party will have to be about Novem-

CREME BRULEE.
from Mrs. L. A. T. B., ArlingtonJ
For Mrs. M. c., Washington. The
following is taken from Mrs. Rom
bauer's 1.-The Joy Of Cooking"-a
very excellent book. Although the
recipe calls for cream containing 40
per cent butterfat, I have used 1t
successfully with coffee cream when
heavier cream was not available.
Four servings. I usually divide the
recipe for two persons.
"A French custard made in an un-
usual way, which gives it an unusual
flavor. Stir, bring to the boiling
point and boil for exactly minute:
2 cups q pint) 40 per cent cream.
Remove the cream from the fire.
Pour it In a slow stream into: 4
well-beaten egg yolks. Beat 1t con-
stantly. Return the cream to the
fire. Stir and cook it over a low
flame until it is nearly boiling, or
stir aad cook it for minutes in
a double boiler. Place the cream
in a creased baking dish. Chill it
well. Cover the cream with 1a-
inch layer of brown or maple sugar.
Place it under a broiler (keep the
oven door open) to form crust and
to caramelize the sugar. Chill it
again. The cream rnay be made
one day and it may be caramelized
the next

HALF TURKEY?
from Mrs. L. L. H., WGshington.)
Will some one please give me sug-
gestions for preparing turkey where
there are only two in a family who
cannot possibly dispose of whole
turkey? I had thought of buying
part of a turkey for Thanksgiving
or Christmas, but do not know how
to prepare it unless using whole
turkey. ! certainly do not want to
make turkey hash as If 1t were a
leftover.
