MUTTON BROTH AND VEAL BROTH ^ These two broths are made on the same principles as the previous ones. The knuckles of veal for veal broth, the shanks of mutton for mutton broth, and the bones of both kinds should be parboiled and rinsed in cold water. Mutton requires more boiling than veal. The vegetable garnishing is about the same as for the other broths. If plain mutton broth is desired for invalids or people with delicate stomachs, a handful of pearl barley, thrown in the stock when it is first put on the stove, 6 MA m LOUIS' EVERY WOMAN'S COOK BOOK When Served. Guests. Remarks. LOUIS' EVERY WOMAN'S COOK BOOK gives the broth a milky appearance. This broth is very soothing to the stomach, also aiding the digestion. Veal broth is very gelatinous, especially when calves' feet are added to it. Calf's foot jelly can be made from this stock, and if the vegetables and other seasoning are omitted this broth can be used for sweet calf's foot jelly if flavoured with wine, brandy, etc. LOUIS' EVERY WOMAN'S COOK BOOK When Served.

Stir well together, then add about four quarts of plain stock. Put on the range, and let it come slowly to a boiling point. Stir occasionally, but when near the boiling point take out the spoon. When it boils, move the saucepan to where the contents will simmer for about one and one-half hours or more. Strain carefully through a cloth. Some carcasses of fowls, or necks, wings, etc., chopped up fine, and added to the beef, will improve the flavour, or if extra good consomme is required a parboiled fowl should be added to the bouillon when it begins to boil. A few drops of " Kitchen Bouquet " will give the con- somme a light brown colour. KITCHEN BOUQUETS Melt three ounces sugar in frying-pan. Stir until it smokes and is of dark colour.
