Stir the sweetbreads and eggs over the
fire until soft cooked. Place a sjjoonful
of the green puree in the small dish in
the manner of a border and the scram-
bled sweetbreads in the middle.
833— Pineapole Fritters and Sauco
835— Vanilla Jelly.
Sweet jelly of gelatine (No 465) made
with a little lemon juice to help in the
clarifying but without lemon pee land a
flavoring of vanilla instead. Color like
golden syrup with few drops burnt sugar
caramel. (See No 694. )
Open 2 cans pineapple, save the juice
cut the larger slices in two.
For the batter :
2 cups flour.
1 small teaspoon baking powder.
2 eggs .
I cup milk or water.
I tablespoon oil or melted lard.
Pinch of salt✪ Pineapple Fritters.
Put all at once into a small pail or deep
pan and beat up with a spoon. Put in
the pineapple slices, take up well coated
with batter and drop into a kettle of hot
lard. Fry light-colored. Drain well and
break off the rou^h edges. Serve with
thick sauce in the dish. To have fritters
of good shape the batter should be made
thin. Too much lightness makes them
absorb grease. To have them of very
light color use water instead of milk in
the batter — but some people must have
them well browned, which calls for milk
or a spoonful of syrup mixed in .
834--Pineapple Sauce.
Half pineapple juice and half water, a
cup of sugar to 2 cups of it, and a table-
spoon of starch . Boil and color pink
with raspberry or other fruit juice✪ Pineapple Sauce. It
should be thick enough to coat over a
fritter and glaze it, and when so used the
articles are put on the bill ot fare as "pine-
apple fritcers glace."

We^ have a neNv boarder this morning
but his meals wili not count at present.
Early^ breakfast ordered for a doctor who
is going away. I hope no sickness has
broken out at our resort. My "sec" has
an unusual amount of business to talk
over with the other girls and has let the
Lyonaise potatoes bum up.
At seven o'clock a little three-year-old
comes running over the croquette ground
to tell me that the doctor has brought her
a new brother and I ask her what she'll
take, but she says ma won't let her eat
anything before breakfast time.
There the nurse comes to borrow my
scales without saying what for.
When she brings them back she says
"just twelve pounds and only half-a-
pound to take off for the wraps."
Now, that must be pretty good weight
for the newspaper paragraphs generally
quote them at ten i)ounds. You see,
MrsTingee, the effects of good cooking
and good feeding — everything is sleek
and fat around here.
Only 37 is the house-count to-day
though it went up with the thermometer
and touched 49 during the week, and I
expect everyone will be on time to dinner
as no person in this house excursionize
on Sunday. If there wis not something
to expect from the advertising that is out
it would look as though the past week was
the culmination of our season's business
and small affair it would be. But the
advertising is bound to work a change ; it
has torn up all our peace and quietness
already in one way and made great
trouble with the meals, getting them or-
dered an hour earlier or an hour later or
divided in two or three or turned into half
meal and half picnic lunch and making
dinner small and disappointing by the ab-
sence of guests,and supper large and vex-
atious through their unwonted promptness
and inexpressible appetites. For this
