Lessons in cooking through preparation of meals

In the bottom of small moulds, or one large mould, place a layer of bottled "pearl onions." Line the sides of the moulds with alternate strips of red and green sweet peppers or pimentoes and green string beans. Over the pearl onions place a layer of sliced tomatoes, then string beans, then a few cooked peas, with sliced tomatoes on top. Soak 2 T granulated gelatin in ¾ c cold water, dissolve in 1½ c boiling water, add 6 T lemon juice, and ½ c sugar. Mix all well together, and pour over the salad, until it comes to the top of the moulds. Set away in a cold place until well set, chill, then turn out of the moulds, and serve. Asparagus may be used instead of the beans, and other substitutes may be made if desired. Peach Parfait Slice thinly enough peaches to make ½ c, and cover with ½ c sugar. Cook ½ c sugar and 2 T water to the thread stage, and pour onto the stiffly beaten whites of 2 eggs, beating, well all the time. While this is cooling whip 1 c cream stiff, then press the peaches through a sieve, and add to the egg mixture, together with the juice of ½ lemon. Fold in the whipped cream, turn into a mould, seal, and bury in equal portions of salt and chopped ice. Let stand for 3 or 4 h. Preparing the Meal About 1½ h before dinner put the chicken prepared the previous day on to cook. Also at this time scrape the new potatoes and cover with cold water until time to cook. Half an hour before dinner cook the potatoes, and 10 m before dinner cut the bread and butter, unmould the Salamagundi Salad made in the morning, fill the glasses, and place on the table. Cut the cake and place on a side table until needed. Serve the dinner.
