THE subject of the II. C. h. is in
tensely interesting to the woman of
modeot purse, and under prcacut condi
tions no definite or approximate pro
ratio can bo depended upon to furnish
fiufficient (substance for the daily up
keep of the family.
The experienced housewife is appalled
nt the increasing costs, and if she is one
of the many who have had ery little
material increase in her household bud
get, bhe is surely hard put to make' both
nds meet. Her desire to tcrc Kood,
palatable and substantial food for her
family has led her to discover that she
can scre dainty and nttructhc savories
and entrees and good, wholesome desserts
by frequently eliminating meat from the
menu. This is particularly true if the
family does not regard meat ns the staff
of life.
Anions the country inns that abound
on the English highways wc frequently
find that the vnrious savories play a
prominent part iu the daily bill of fare.
Savory of Deviled Egg
Remove the shell from two hard-boiled
eggs and then rub the eggs through a
line sieve into a bowl. Then add
Three tablespoons of grated cheese,
One teaspoon of grated onion,
One teaspoon of salt.
One-half teaspoon of paprika.
One-quarter teaspoon of mustard.
One tablespoon of finely chopped
parsley,
Tiro tablespoons of melted batter.
Jlix well, using a fork, and then mold
between the hands to shape of a hen's
egg. Set in n nest of lettuce and serve
with majonnaisc dressing. This amount
makes four eggs. -
To srve as an entree, roll lightly in
flour, dip in beaten egg and then roll in
fine crumbs and fry until golden brown
in hot fat. Serve with tartar sauce.
This forms a delicious dish that may re
place meat iu the following menu :
Itudishes I'ickles
Savory Deviled Kggs, Tartar Sauce
Iiakcd Macaroni Spiuach
Lettuce
Banana Shortcake Coffee
Clieeso Cutlets
Place iu a saucepan
One cup of milk,
Six tablespoons of flour, ,
Stir to dissolve the flour and then
bring to a boil and cook for live minutes.
Now add
One-half cup of grated cheese two
ounces,
One tablespoon of grated onion,
One teaspoon of salt.
One-half teaspoon of paprika.
One-quarter teaspoon of mustaiil.
'Heat well and then cook until the
cheese is nwlted. Pour on a greased
platter and let cool, then set aside for
two hours to mold. Form into cut
lets, then dip in flour, coat-with beaten
egg and roll in tine bread crumbs. Fry
until golden brown in hot fat. Insert a
Mnall piece of celery to represent the
bone end of the chop and then cover this
with a frill. This amount will make
6ix large cutlets.
Chelsea Cheese Pudding

one cup when pressed dry. Place this
