any occasion.
Clean and wash 4-pound rabbit.

head to use for the stocko Put the
rabbit, Gut in serving pieces, and
the head, in covered kettle. Add
about 3 quarts of water, couple
of onions, some bay leaves, pepper
corns, celery tops, good dash OF
salt and tablespoons vinegar.
Bring to a boil and then let simmer,
skimming from time to time.
The rabbit should cook slowly for
an hour or longer, until tender.
Then lift out the meat and let the
liquid cook some more. Put some
fat in a frying pan, brown Il cup
of chopped onions in this. Blend
in 4 tablespoons flour and work
smooth with the rabbit stock. Add
a small can tomato paste and a
tablespoon of vinegar. Season with
salt, pepper and few whole cloves.
If mixture is too thick. thin with
more stock. Add the pieces of rab-
bit for serving (but not the head.
Let simmer, turning from time to
time. When the rabbit is so tender
as to almost fall from the bone, add
a couple of handfuls of ripe black
olives and cook for 10 minutes
longer. Serve rabbit with sauce
poured over all.

The appetizer and first course,
which really decided the nationality
Of the dinner, was a great jar of
wonderful, fresh caviar, shipped as
a belated Christmas present to one
member of the group by Russian
friend. While we usually link Rus
sia and caviar, the truth is that the
Romanians really dote upon it and
some of the finest caviar I ever
have eaten has been found in
Bucharest.
1t was served this time with
proper fanfare - the container
packed in a bed of crushed ice.
Every one took a helping of the
great gray eggs and ate them with
toasted French bread. There were
wedges of lemon for squeezing over
the caviar and little dishes of
minced onion, riced hard-cooked
eggs and curls of sweet butter were
there for those who wished to gild
the lily. We drank vodka. instead
of cocktails or sherry, from little
squat glasses.
After the caviar came a wonder
full dish of rabbit with olives. &C
companied by sort of cornmeal
mush that the Romaniians love.
Then came a salad of leeks, cooked
whole, chilled and served with a
tart French dressing. Dessert was

Corned Beef,

A good old-fashioned dish which
has given many well-known res
taurant it's claim to fame is Corned
Beef and Cabbage, These two homely
foods, each with its characteristic
flavor, keep company so well it has
become an American tradition to
serve them together.
Today, the old methods of cook
ing corned beef and cabbage have
been modified. AS far as the meat
is concerned, we have discarded
the term boiling" and substituted
"simmering." In other words, the
modern rule for cooking meat in
water Gas for other cooking methods)
is to use low temperature. The
water SINNERS, but should never
boil. The new technique makes the

meat more tender and palatable
easier to slice, and reduces the loss
of flavor and food values into the
cooking water: ...
AS for the cabbage-no longer dc
we serve cabbage that is faded-out
water-soaked, and strong from toe
long cooking Today it's the style
to cook all vegetables just until
tender i. no more. With cabbage
we try to preserve as much Of the
natural greenness as possible, and
keep the vegetable just mite crisp
When cooking it with meat, it's a
good idea to lay the wedges of cab
bage on top of the meat, so that
they can cook in the steam.

TO CLEAN COPPER KETTLE.
{ From M. L. H., Washington.)
Recently, I found an old copper
boiler in the basement OF my aunt's
home. 1t was completely black and
battered. have spent hours clean
ing up such things, as I am very
fond of copper and brass, but con-.
cluded to try something different
in this case.
I was spending the summer in a
small town in Michigan. I took the
boiler to a metal works. They hung
it in an acid bath which took all
the black off. They bumped out
the dents, then buffed it, and had
beautiful copper piece (for hold
ing plants. The cost was very
small. You could probably find a
metal works here that could do the
same job. The same firm did brass
plating for me. Metal mirror frames,
candle sticks, a clock case, ETC., from
which the plating had worn off.
1t is easy to keep copper and
brass bright with a good metal
polish. I got an excellent one
lately in one of the better grocery
stores. 1t comes in a small round
tin can with screw top. Silver
polish is not satisfactory for either

FOOD GIFTS.

From Mrs. A. L. R., Fredericksburg.)
Re: Mrs. M. F. T.'s request about
food gifts for Scotland in The Star
of January 13. My husband sent
his sister in Scotland last year q
box containing a Christmas plum
pudding, 2 bottles 1000 tablets each,
one-fourth grain saccharin, two
packages of dates and also two
packages of figs and a box of candy.
He marked on the declaration that
this was Unsolicited Food" I'M
agine his surprise when his sister
advised him that she had to pay for
duty Oh the package an amount
equal to IS in our money. I would.
therefore, be careful about sending
food or luxury items when there
is such heavy duty to be paid at
the other end, although we are asked
to send food to England and Scot
land as they need it badly.
From Mrs. M. E., AlerandridJ
AS to gift parcels to Scotland, as a
British war bride" l am passing on
a list of the things which my family
appreciate most. Canned fruit, pot
ted cheese, nuts, gelatin desserts,
pudding mix, shortening, pastry
mix and canned butter. AS all these
are practically nonexistant, and
have been for six years they are
considered great luXuries. Canned
meat. preserves, soap and soap
powder are still very strictly ra-
toned, so these would be appre-
ciated, too. For real luxury a box
of chocolates could be included. AS
for packing fruitcake, have not
tried sending one home Il sent the
dry ingredients instea0 but while

The burlap wears as it comes in
contact with the floor. In a we'll

inside the material. I have hemmed
most of my rugs before hooking

A rug made of wool material would
