    RICE OMELETTE SOUFFLE.

    Boil a quarter of a pound of well-washed Caro-
    lina rice in a pint and a half of milk until stiff. Stir
    in two ounces of butter, half a pint of cream and four
    egg yolks beaten light with two ounces of granulated
    sugar and vanilla to taste, add a quarter of a pound
    of citron cut fine and two ounces of almonds blanched
    and pounded fine in a mortar. Stir all well together,
    adding at the last four whites of eggs beaten very
    stiff. Put in a pudding dish and bake until firm
    about half an hour. Serve immediately in the dish
    in which it was baked.

    STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE.

    Puff paste makes a delicious strawberry short-
    cake. Roll thin, as for pie crust, and line three layer
    cake tins and bake. Put a quart of fresh, ripe straw-
    berries stemmed in a bowl, sweeten them, cover and
    stand the bowl on the shelf over the range, stir occa-
    sionally and mash slightly with the back of a spoon.
    When serving time comes lay one of the shells on the
    dish in which it is to be served, and pour a third of
    the berries over it, then put on a second and a third,
    decorate the top layer with whipped cream and serve
    with cream. It should be served immediately after
    the berries are added to the crust that it may be
    crisp. Both berries and shells should be cold.

    STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE.-No. 2.

    Make a biscuit dough in the proportion of a pint
    of flour, a heaping teaspoonful of baking powder
    and half a teaspoonful of salt, a tablespoonful of
    butter and enough milk to mix it. Roll about an
    inch thick, cut it round or oblong and bake in a quick
    oven about fifteen minutes. Cut around the edge
    and pull gently apart, butter slightly, have the berries
    prepared as for Shortcake No. 1. Put the crust on
    the serving dish, pour half the berries over it, put on
    the top and pour the remainder of the berries over it.
    Serve with cream.

    GNOCCHI A LA ROMAINE

    Put two ounces of butter in a saucepan over the
    fire with two tablespoonfuls of milk. When this
    conies to a boil stir in four ounces of flour ; then add
    a cup of milk, let it cook, stirring all the time until
    it no longer adheres to the pan, remove from the fire,
    let it cool and then beat in three eggs, one at a time,
    two heaping tablespoonfuls of grated Parmesan
    cheese, a saltspoonful of mace and a dash of salt.
    Set it away to get cold, make it into small balls.
    Have a large saucepan of boiling, salted water on
    the stove, drop the balls into it and let them boil five
    minutes, take them out with a skimmer and drain
    well. Have ready a cream sauce, put the balls in
    this, and when they are hot turn into a baking dish,
    sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and bake until brown
    in a quick oven.

    Salads

    MAYONNAISE DRESSING.

    One-half teaspoonful of mustard, one-half tea-
    spoonful of sugar, one teaspoonful of salt and a dash
    of cayenne pepper ; then add two raw egg yolks,
    beat well and stir in a teaspoonful of strong vinegar;
    add very carefully, drop by drop, a scant three-quar-
    ters of a cup of best olive oil, and as it thickens half
    a teaspoonful of vinegar. This recipe never fails, if
    the directions are carefully followed. The eggs and
    oil should be kept in the refrigerator and be ice cold.
    Lemon juice may be used, instead of vinegar, if pre-
    ferred.

    POTATO SOUP.

    Take four large potatoes, peel and boil them
    tender in water, mash very fine with a small table-
    spoonful of butter, add as much boiling milk as will
    make it the right consistency. Boil in as little water
    as possible one tablespoonful of turnips and two of
    carrots cut into dice ; when tender turn all into the
    soup, add a little cayenne and salt to taste. Just
    before serving beat a quarter of a cup of cream with
    one egg yolk, remove the soup from the fire and stir
    the two together as in other cream soups, and serve
    at once with fried croutons.

    PUREE OF VEGETABLES.

    Cut fine three onions, one turnip, two French
    carrots and four potatoes, put in a saucepan with
    four tablespoonfuls of butter and a little parsley ; let
    them cook about ten minutes, then add a tablespoon-
    ful of flour. Stir well and add two quarts of boiling
    milk, season with salt and pepper and a tiny bit of
    sugar, and when it boils take out the parsley, press
    the soup through a sieve and serve with croutons
    of fried bread.

    PICKLED BEANS.

    Put inl ,} two gallons of water enough salt to float an egg ; then
    boil the salt and water for ten minutes, and put it away to get
    cold. Pick French beans or scarlet runners before they are
    stringy, put them whole into an earthenware crock, and pour the
    above pickle over them. Have ready a piece of wood that will
    entirely cover them ; lay a cloth over the beans, and then put
    on the piece of wood and a heavy weight to press them under
    the pickle. Not more than twenty pounds of beans should be
    kept in one crock, as they do not keep well in large quantities.
    They keep crisp and good for seven months, if in a dry place.
    About once a fortnight the cloth should be rinsed in boiling
    water and then in cold, as a scum will often rise. When re-
    quired for use, take out a sufficient quantity, soak them for six
    hours, changing the water once or twice ; then cut them up for
    table, and boil them like fresh beans. They are very acceptable
    when vegetables are limited in quantity and poor in quality.

    GERMAN YEAST.

    This is only the ordinary beer yeast, kept fresh and fit for use
    for several months, by placing it in a close canvas bag, and
    gently and gradually squeezing out the moisture in a screw-
    press, until the remaining matter acquires the consistency of
    clay or soft cheese, in which state it must be preserved in close
    vessels, or wrapped in waxen cloth,

    SOFT CORN BREAD Have one cupful of boiling water in which
    one teaspoonful of salt has been melted, in a saucepan, and sprinkle slowly
    into it, stirring all the time, one-half cupful of white cornmeal. Stir until
    it is a thick mush and simmer for twenty minutes, then add one pint of
    hot milk, or enough to make a thin batter, and stir until smooth, then cool. Have two
    eggs well beaten, stir them carefully into the batter and pour all into a heated pudding -
    dish in which a tablespoonful of butter has been melted. Give a last stir, and bake
    until brown.

    AUNT SALLY’S HOECAKE Scald one pint of white cornmeal with enough
    boiling water to make a stiff dough. Have the water salted and one tablespoonful of
    lard melted in it. Knead the dough a little and form it into flat cakes about a quarter of
    an inch thick and six inches across. Cook these cakes on a griddle or in an iron frying-
    pan without any grease, turning frequently, to prevent burning. In the South they are
    cooked in the hot ashes in the open fire-place hence the name.

    MANDARIN SHERBET Grate the rind of one dozen Mandarin oranges,
    remove the peel, and squeeze ; add the juice of two dozen more and the juice of two
    lemons, and enough water to make one quart of liquid. Sweeten well and partly
    freeze, then open the freezer and stir in the whites of two eggs, beaten to a stiff froth ;
    close the freezer, pack with ice and salt, and let stand for an hour.

    LALLA ROOKH Whip the whites of five eggs to a stiff froth, also one pint
    of thick cream ; beat the yolks of the eggs very light, and stir in one cupful of fine

    frothy, fold in the cream and then the beaten whites of the eggs ; pour into a mold,

    in ice and salt in a pail, and let stand for three or four hours.
