More Cold
Soups
By the Chef

Here are a few more cold soup
Suggestions to tuck in your kitchen
files for the warm days ahead.
Fruit soups are not known uni
versally in this country, but have
long been a great favorite of the
Ecandinavians, who are connoisseurs
when it comes to food. They are
both refreshing and nutritious and
with all the fresh fruit obtainable
in this country should be accepted
more widely.
Take, for instance, a cherry soup
You may use canned cherries or.
II they are in season, about 21a
cups of fresh ones. Remove the
stones, II any, and combine the
cherries and their juice with 3l2
cups of water. Add a piece of Gin
namon and a tablespoon or so of
sugar, depending on the sourness of
the cherries.
Dissolve 2 tablespoons of corn
starch in 2 tablespoons Of water
and add it to the cherries. Place
over a low flame and let cook until
clear, stirring all the time. Press
all through a sieve, flavor with
lemon juice and chill well before
serving.
That old springtime favorite,
rhubarb, also makes a fine soup.
Cut a pound of it in pieces and
put In a saucepan with about a
quart of water. Let boil, then
cover and cook until the rhubarb
is soft. Press it through sieve,
add sugar to taste and thicken with
cornstarch dissolved in water as for
the cherry soup. Cook until clear.
Then add the hot soup to the beaten
yolk of egg and then chill. This
Is good served with dab of whipped
cream on top.
A good, quick cold soup is made
by adding a little curry powder to
clear chicken broth and then chill
ing well-or, If you like, add gen tin
and serve jellied curried chicken
soup!
And there is a delicious cold
celery soup that we serve often in
our house-and is always welcome:
Chop / small onion and fry it in
. little butter until it is trans
parent. Then peel 3 potatoes and
cut them in thick slices. Put them
with the onion and a small bunch of
chopped celery, leaves and all, in
a kettle with or cups of water
and bring to a boil. Let simmer
gently for an hour, adding water
if needed.
Press through a fine sieve. Add
q cup Of milk and tablespoon of
grated Parmesan cheese, return to
fire and let simmer for ten minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to
taste. Stir in the yolk of l egg,
diluted with little water, keeping
soup hot, but not letting 1t come
to a boil. When well-blended, let
cool and then chill thoroughly
before serving.

Household hints: II breakfast
dishes are thoroughly rinsed before
washing, the hot, soapy water can
be used for hopping up the floor,
wiping around woodwork, etc., or, by
adding q little ammonia, good
enough to clean up the stove, re-
frigerator, ct al.
After having paid dollar for

quilted robe to be cleaned, I decided
it was close to being paid for a sec
ond time. I decided to try the au-
tomato washer, popped it in with
mild soap fakes and 1t came out
beautiful. Needs very little IRON
ing when dry. Hope this helps
those who've been doing the same.

Every one likes individual meat
loaves with their good share of out
side crustiness. Tiny ham loaves,
spicily favored with brown sugar
and cloves, are neat little packages
Of outside crispness and inside juci-
ness, and they're a good standin
these days for slices of baked ham.
From a shank or butt end of UNI
cooked or tender type ham, or even
from a cured pork shoulder or
picnic" these attractive little
loaves may be made. Served with
raisin sauce or a mustard cream
sauce, they're a tempting entree for
springtime luncheon or dinner
party. So that the menu will fairly
pop with spring touches, accompany
the spicy ham loaves with a sea-
sonal green vegetable and a fruit
salad garnished with bright red
strawberries.

but they are very small and very
expensive. Watermelons are begin
ming to come in from Florida, and
some mangoes have also been seen.
Blackberries and strawberries are
fair. Clingstone peaches-fit only
for cooking-are found in most mar
kets. A few more bananas have
been seen around. Pineapples are
in light supply this week, but there
are plenty Of grapefruit. lemons and
lines. Oranges are scarce.
All kinds of chickens will be avail
able for the week end. Eggs are
about the same as last week-both
in quantity and in price. Good sup
plies Of cottage cheese are on hand,
with some cream cheese and ched-
dar also offered. Meats continue
scarce in practically all types and
cuts.
Your old standby, fish, however,
is going strong. Fine swordfish
steaks top the list, followed closely
by Boston mackerel, croakers, but
terfish, trout, white perch and the
usual fillets. Fresh salmon Is to be
had, at a price, and also In the
luxury brackets are crabmeat, lob
sters, Florida lobster tails and soft
crabs. Thereu be more of that
lobster meat in. tins on hand this
week end, but no shrimp. One OF
your best bets is still shad-roe or
buck-it's nearing the end OF the
season, though, so don't wait too
long to serve it again.

ANSWERS AND QUERIES.
From Mrs. M. L. H., Washington J
have a few suggestions, q recipe
and a request and wish to express
my appreciation of the RICH.
Cleaning copper and brass. Allow
pieces to soak for q while in fairly
strong solution of q cleaner used for
woodwork and walls. The one ]
use is a pink powder that turns the
water green when dissolved. Wash
pieces in this after soaking for a
while, have plenty of old cloths
handy. Dry, then polish with dry
cloth. Don't use water except to
rinse out insides of articles in use
Bad stains may have be cleaned of
with metal polish Qiquid which
you get at the dime stores, but the
above is an easy way to keep them
bright. Badly stained copper can
be cleaned by painting with solu-
ton of what is commonly used fol-
cleaning drains. Use paintbrush
or swab and q strong solution. AL
low to dry, then scrub with steel
wool. This Is only for very black
pieces that salt and vinegar will
not clean.

RAISING GuPPIEs.

(From d. M. F., Washington
Have been very successful in rails
ing guppies. Food and water are the
important things. Water can be
quite dirty, providing it has plenty
Of grass growing in it, but the water
must be room temperature, when
you change from one water to an
other.
In drafts they die quickly, so one
can't keep them near the window.
For food I use the dust guppy food
bought where they sell fish food. If
you can't get it fine enough shake
box that fish food comes in and the
dust from the contents will feed
them nicely.
Shake grass few times a day and
II the babies are there they will
come to top. Remove them instantly
as females as well as males eat
them as soon as they are born, if
they don't get out Of the way. The
grass gives the young a place to hide
until you can protect them.
