THANKS to Mrs. T. E. S.,
SilUer Spring.

Mrs. T. H. c., Chevy Chase, Md,
wanted a recipe for patty shells. I
have never attempted them, being
intimidated by the rather elaborate
recipes generally found for them.
But if she can beg or borrow copy
of Irma Rombauers Joy Of Cook
ing" she will find in that inesti-
mable book complete directions for
making them. (And I have never
yet found a recipe in it which didn't
turn out to be perfectly Since these
rules cover almost page and in
volve such things as washing the
butter preferably Ion cold, windy
day." I shall not use up the RCH's
valuable space in recording them.
Instead I should like to offer very
quickly prepared and tasty substi-
tute for regular patty shells: Cut
the cruStS from large, fresh slices of
bread-as many slices as you wish

slice with softened margarine. Press
into large muffin tins and bake in
slow oven (250-30O degrees) until
edges are slightly Drowned When
cool the shells should be crisp with

our host said he usually added half

bacon-but like most of us now,
bacon for him is only a dream.
The squads were put back into the

liquid was disappearing too fast and
a little bouillon was added when
necessary.
The result was superb, both in

done right tom the casserole and
there was s'de plate of shredded

proof, because It Is almost a Ger,
tainty that your family will try to
break it.
1t Is heartening thing, though,
to get a letter like yours and hear of
a stepmother who has been a real
mother to her husbands children,
and Of children who have appre-
ciated the affection and work and
sacrifice that their stepmother has
given them. When such a thing
happens, it makes a beautiful rela-
tionship and brings about so much
happiness that 1t is a pity that it
is the exception instead of the rule.
Perhaps human nature will have
to be made over before the majority
Of second wives can keep from being
Evening star., 1945-04-02

jealous of the first wife and her
children, or before the children can
keep from being suspicious of a
stepmother and resenting her con-
troll over them.
But there are women like you who
are big enough to meet the situation
with patience and wisdom and love,
and who have enough mother love
to make the children forget that
they are motherless, and great is
the work that they do. 1t is more
than anything that money can pay
for, but if the stepmother wants TO
leave them, when she dies, some
thing that will carry her ability to
help them beyond the grave, surely
she has a right to do it.

Recipe for Rosette Waters and
Patties-Take 2 eggs, teaspoon
Of sugar, Y teaspoon of salt, / cup
Of milk, cup of flour "a little more
If necessary. Beat eggs slightly
with sugar and salt; add milk and
-four, beat until smooth. This
amount will make 40 rosettes.
Screw handle into one OF the
irons and put rosette iron in hot
lard to heat before dipping 1t into
the batter, not letting the batter
come over the top Of the iron. Re-
turn it to the hot lard, thoroughly
covering the iron with same, for at
least 20 seconds, but not over IS
seconds. Remove from iron with a
piece of clean cheese cloth.
When making rosette patties
leave sugar out of batter.
If rosettes do not come of easily
from the iron, they are not friec
long enough to be dry in the center
If they are not crisp they have been
fried too quickly. If they have
blisters that absorb the fat the eggs
have been beaten too much. If they
drop into oil or grease from the iron
the iron is not deep enough in the
oil.

COOKING FISH.
FURNITURE HINT.
(ThankS to Mrs. A. w. A.,
WaShington.)
In response to Mrs. c. T. F.-and
all women who would like to cook
fish easily and tastily, I offer the
following recipe:
Dip fish in a bowl Of heavily salt
ed milk q tablespoon salt, cup
milk. Cover fish with finely sifted
bread crumbs. Place fish in we'll
creased baking pan Cbacon grease
may be used. Sprinkle fish with a
little Oil, or cover with small dabs OF
bacon grease.
Cook in very hot oven-500 de-
grees-for 10 or IS minutes, depend
ing upon thickness of fish.
The fish will not burn, but will be
beautifully Drowned on all sides, the
full flavor will be retained. there
will be no cooking odors and the
baking pan may be easily cleaned.
This method is recommended by
the United States Fish and Wild
life Service, and I think 1t is the
most practical, the most efficient
and the most delectable way of cook
ing any kind of fish flllets, steaks or
small whole fish on the market.
I would also like to make sug-
geStion to mothers whose children
scratch and mar their furniture.
Rub a tiny bit of butter into the
mark. let it stand an hour, wipe off
and polish. Presto! 1t looks like a
new piece of wood.
