Ye Otde Tyme Liver and
Kidney Pye a Delicious
- Reminder of Suppers in
Olden-Time England
By MRS. M. A. WILSON
ConriaM, Idle, bv Mrs. M. X, Wilson.
Ail iitahts Hraened.
"ANY post ronds and the King's
highway lead out from London
town. Along these roads, before the
day of the motorcar, at convenient
distances apart, usually from eight
to twelve miles, were old inns and
taverns that mado a specialty of
caring for man and beast.
Usually the cooking in these places
was under the direct supervision of
the innkeeper's housewife. She had
a couple of bright-eyed and rosy
cheeked lassies to assist her. Many
of these inns arc still in existence
and the folk now motor out to try
Mother Caspwell's liver and kidney
pie.
The old inn, with its sturdy old oak
beams, aged to a blackness that
equaled old mahogany, was sur
rounded by great oak trees. The
heavy door opening into tho tap
room occupied tho center of tho
building, while close by was a door
that led to the sideroom, with its
immense fireplace. Hero in this side
room, with its ancient furnishing,
one may still cat ye olde tyme liver
and kidney pye.

This Is Her Advice
When the recipes call for one cup
of sugar, uie one cup of white corn
sirup in place of tho sugar unci then
reduce the amount of liquid required
in the recipe to one quarter. 'I'lih
means thnt n recipe that calls for:
One cup of sugar,
One-half cup of milk or icncr,
may be ndjusted to this formula :
One cup of white corn sirup,
1'our tablespoons of icalcr,
or ..
One ani one-half cups of sugar.
One cup of milk or water,
in place of which you may use:
One and one-quarter cups of while
corn sirup or molasics,
Eight tablespoons of water or milk
or one-half cup.
The regular amount of shortening,
Hour and baking powder may be
used that tho recipe calls for.

cup of cold water for twenty min
utes. When the liver and kidney nrc
tender remove from tho saucepan
and cool. Cut into dice and then line
the deep pio pan with pastry. Place
a layer of the diced kidney and liver
in the bottom'of the pan and then a
layer of the sauce, and then a sec
ond layer of meat and a last layer
of sauce on top. Wet the sides of
the pastry and then place on the top
crust, pinching the edges closely to
gether. Cut three small gashes in
the top crust to permit the steam to
escape. Brush with water or milk
and then bake in a slow oven for one
hour.
To prepare the pastry, use part of
the bacon fat and part suet. Place
three cups of flour in a mixing bowl
and add
One teaspoon of salt,
One tablespoon of baking powder.
Sift to mix and then rub in six
tablespoons of bacon fat; after the
bacojj fat is well blended rub in four
ounces of finely chopped suet and
mix to a dough with three-quarters
cup of ice-cold water. When mixing
the dough take care not to knead,
but to chop by cutting and folding
over. This will give a delightful and
fine flaky crust.
Banana Custard
Place two cups of milk in a sauce
pan and add
One-half cup of cornstarch,
Four bananas, rubbed through a
sieve.
Stir to dissolve the starch and then
bring to a boil and cook for five min
utes, slowly. Now add
One-half cup of sugar,
One teaspoon of vanilla extract,
Yolk of one egg.
Beat to blend and then rinse the
custard cups with cold water. Drain
well and pour in the custard and set
aside to mold.

My dear Mrs. Wilson:
I appreciate your suggestions of
platter dinners more than any
thing. I use your biscuit recipe,
only I use two spoons of baking
powder and one spoon of soda, with
sour or' buttermilk. Please tell
me if poached eggs may be served
in individual cups they are cooked
in? Please describe bouillon cups
and cocktail glasses. Can va
rious fruits be mixed? I live in
the country and have a great deal
to do, but like a nice table and good
cats. Don't buy only very few
things. I have had the bread
mixer recommended by a few
writers; can you recommend one?
Thanking you for your services, I
am (Mrs.) J. 0. B.
Poached eggs may be served in in
dividual cups and garnished with
finely chopped parsley. Bouillon
cups are shaped similar to tea cups;
they have two handles; or, in other
words, a bouillon cup is a two
handled cup. Cocktail glasses are
bowl-shaped glasses on short stems.
Fruit juices and fruit and vegetable
cocktails may be used in these
glasses. Good bread can be made
using a mixer or by the old-fashioned
method.

Surprised at "Serg. Amer."
Dear ('within I read a letter in
jour pincr fiom one 'who signed in
name "Serg. Amcx." It makes such
foolish complaints about not having
jet met, a girl particular enough to
save kisses and hugs for her husband -to-be.
He docs not know yet that
kisses arc like water in the ocean, you
can never dry that water out. That
man must not have had much experi
ence. A girl of today makes n steady
custom of Kissing a boy. J. G. F.
Answers "Twenty-one"
Dear Cynthia "Twenty-one's" let
ter is just too sweet for anything, but
why pick on the girls?" We all know
that to the men of today tho difference
i between the girl and girl is money; the
I man that marries the girl with position,
j manners and dress that cries money,
i why he just simply leaps into popular
' ity. and the world credits him with the
Vt of horw-sense then, why in the
name of Amnion sense, should woman
tie brainless, and why pick on the ric
man's son if he spends lots of money?
Doesn't he reap experience with every
wasted cent? Why should he be close
fisted with what he doesn't miss? The
world needs the circulation of money ;
let him be of some benefit.
And why, Twcnty-ono, bo hard on
the girl who marries money? Sho need
pity, not harsh judgment, for most men
lose much In becoming rich, nnd a jaded

FAIN HAY IT.
Would It Be Proper?
Dear Cnthla: I am a daily reader
of your paper and thought perhaps jou
could help me out on this subject: I
am n young girl of nineteen and nm en
gaged to a young man who has a sis
ter who has taken such n liking to me
that she has asked me If I would comer
out to her house and board with them.
She has n mother who is a very deal
woman and she has also nsked mo to
come out. You sec. this girl has no
steady girl friend nnd she isn't old
enough to go with bojs, so sho insists
on my coming to live with her and go
around with her. Do you think it
would be right for me to go, ns I nm only
boarding now? ucar uyntnia, u you
don't mind, will you please publish my
answer In vour paper and I'll thank
you very much, as I don't quite know
what to do.
A VKKY ANXIOUS ItKADEIt.
T u-nttM not mil it Imnroner exactly
dear, but it seems wiser not to board In
your fiance's home.
No doubt o would be a comfort to
the mother and sister, but It is wiser
not to go there to stay.
When do vou intend to marry? Will
the engagement be n long one? Tell me
n little nunc and perhaps I can advise
further.
Kissing Games
Dear Cntliia Your column has
nlwns been of great interest to me,
but I have never written to you, ns 1
never had any questions to nsk, Now,
however, T nm going to nsk your
opinion nboul something on which my
friends nnd I disagree.
A friend of mine is giving a Hal
loween party, and "kissing games" is
one of tho pastimes. Is it right for
boys and girls between fifteen nnd
seventeen to piny kissing games. Cyn
thia? I don't think so. In tho first
place I think it shows' too much partial
ity, don't you?
My friends are surprised, because I
nm a girl who likes boys and am not
n bit bashful. I feel at home with
them just as if they were girls. I have
many boy friends and we nrc all pals.
Hut still, I don't think it right for girls
nnd boys of our age to play it. Please
give mo your opinion about it. Cynthia.
SIXTEKN.
Kissing games arc not wrong strictly
speaking, but they nre apt to lead to
much familiarity, nnd there arc many
other good games to play.

WATCH OUT FOR THE FAIRIES
ON THE NIGHT OF HALLO WEEN
It's Their Time to Play and They Work All Kinds of Mischief
on Poor, Unsuspecting Mortals Who Can't Hear Them Laugh
HALLOWEEN'S here! And, oh, the
plans for parties, for costumes, for
decorations and for mischief i For Hal
loween is the one night on which the
fairies mingle with the elves and raise
havoc with mortals. Men think it's
the wind that blows the smoke from
bonflics into their eves nt this time
of year, but children know that it's
just the naughty little sprites who
can't wait until flint one night to start
their mischief. They fly about with
their tiny bellows niid send the smoke
stinging into grown-ups' eyes whenever
they see n bonfire, nnd then they laugh.
Some people think it's the crackling
of the leaves on the outside of the fire,
but children know thnt it's just the
giggling of the gny mites as they scam
per away in search of more victims.
Nearly grown-ups feel the presence
of the goblins, too. They bavo their
paitles indoors on Halloween, but when
n girl pnres nn apple nnd swings the
paring threo times round her bond then
lets it go upon the floor nnd finds that
it makes an almost perfect F, and
then looks up with scarlet checks to
find Fred looking just as scarlet nnd
shining-eyed, she knows thnt somehow
or other n little fairy got Into'tlie house
and tugged nt that apple peel until it
looked thnt way. And when she starts
down the cellnr stairs in the scary dnrk
carrying n wiggly candle and a slinky
mirror she knows that it was a snick
ering elf that mnde the candle suddenly
flicker nnd nlmost go out, but she
doesn't give him nwny. She just giggles
n little and says airily, "I was so
scared. It must have vbeen n sudden
draft that blew the caiiille that way."
REAL grown-ups know about the
mischievous fniries, too. On the
morning after Halloween, when they
come out on their porches and find
their gates taken off and enrried away
and their porch chairs turned over, nnd
corn thrown all over tho front wnlk,
they smile and remember when they
were young, and you hear them say,
"Well, the fairies were at work out
here last night, nil right!" Then they
straighten things up ngain nnd go in
the house nnd say. "William Jones, I
told you you could do anything but
knock those chairs over nnd take that
sate off I"
There's n funny feeling about Hal
loween. The smell of burning leaves
nnd the tang of October in the nir,
