2 cups stale bread crumbs. 1 teaspoon salt. ^ teaspoon pepper. 1 onion, minced. }/2 cup chopped celery. 2 tablespoons butter or 3^ cup finely chopped salt pork. Brown the celery and the onion lightly in the fat. Then mix the ingredients lightly, combining them with a fork. Spread the stuffing over the steak. Roll the steak crosswise, not lengthwise, and tie it in two or three places with clean string. By rolling it crosswise you will cut across the grain when you carye, and the sliced meat will be more tender. Roll the outside of the mock duck in flour, then sear the surface in a small amount of fat in a baking pan. Add more flour if necessary, so there will be enough for brown gravy. When the meat is thoroughly seared on all sides, add a cup of water, cover closely, and cook until tender. This takes about 1 hour and a half. When the meat is done, mix 2 tablespoons of fat with an equal amount of flour, add the liquor from the pan, and enough water to make as much gravy as you need. If the steak had fat on it, there may be enough fat and also flour in the pan to make the gravy without adding any other. FIVE-MINUTE CABBAGE Shred the cabbage up finely. Cook it just about 2 minutes in hot milk — half as much milk as you have cabbage. Then for each quart of cabbage add a cup of cream or rich milk, with 2 tablespoons of butter blended with 2 tablespoons of flour. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and boil just 3 or 4 minutes. The result is a crisp vegetable, delicate and delicious. FRIED APPLES AND BACON Select good tart apples. Peel them. Cut them in 1/2 to 1 inch cubes. Fry the bacon in a heavy skillet.

Pile them up rather high in the frying pan. Sugar to taste. Be sure you use enough sugar — apples fried this way require a little more sugar than ordinary fried apples. Cover the apples. Cook slowly until tender. Then remove the cover, and turn the apples gently, so the pieces will keep their shape. Let them brown lightly. They are then almost transparent. Place them in a hot platter; surround them with crisp bacon. WAFFLES 2 cups milk. 3 teaspoons baking powder. 2 cups sifted soft- wheat flour. \}/2 tablespoons sugar. 3 tablespoons fat.
