Take a round loaf of baker's bread ; cut in slices about
one'half inch thick; remove any hard or very brown
crust and butter well. Line the sides of a deep buttered
baking dish with six of the slices and lay the seventh in
the bottom. Grate fine one-fourth pound of good cheese.
Melt a small piece of butter and stir into one and one'
half pints of good milk ; dissolve two tablespoonfuls of
flour in a gill of cold milk, add it to the boiled milk
and let it cool. Add the cheese, salt, pepper and four
well beaten eggs✪ Cheese Custard to the milk, and pour it into the baking'
dish. The cheese custard should at least reach the top
of the upright slices of bread. Bake in a hot oven as
you would any bakad custard.
Q Baked Rice and Cheese
Three cups boiled rice; three cups milk; one'fourth
pound grated cheese; three well beaten eggs; one
dessertspoonful of butter ; salt✪ Baked Rice and Cheese. Melt the butter and stir
lightly into the rice and milk; add the eggs, beat in
lightly, and bake in a hot oven one'half hour.
Q Baked Peas
Soak yellow split peas over night; boil until tender, and
then take two and one-haif cupfuls of boiled peas ; one'
half cupful of cracker crumbs; one pint of miik; one egg;
two'thirds cupful of finely minced celery, or one tea'
spoonful of celery salt ; one dessertspoonful butter , salt
to taste. Bake thirty'five minutes.

C[ Baked Beans
Baked macaroni and cheese makes a good substitute for
the meat dish, as do also baked beans. In baking beans
without pork, place a good-sized onion in the bottom of
the bean pot The result is not a perceptible onion
flavor, but a decided enriching of the beans. A goodly
quantity of butter✪ Baked Beans should be added to beans baked with'
out meat. A little while before they are done ; or,
when the beans having the onion in the bean pot are
about half done, stir through them a nut cream, made by
dissolving one heaping teaspoonful of peanut butter in a
little water, and add ordinary butter as well. Do not
use enough nut butter to allow a peanut flavor to pre*
vail, but enough to mellow and enrich the beans.
Q Ked Kidney Beans
Red kidney beans are especially good baked. Indeed,
they are so highly esteemed in Boston, the Mecca of
the baked-bean lover, that one is obliged to pay more
for them there at the cafes and restaurants than for
ordinary kinds. The canned red kidney beans are
almost as good as the fresh ones, and if you pour off
the liquor, rinse the beans, mash a few of them and
add cream, you need not fear them, baked or unbaked,
because they were canned, and they will form a most
palatable addition to your bill of fare.

There was once a man who, when the dew was on
his strawberry vines, and the wren that had her nesi
near his bedroom window had begun her morning
thanks, strode out into his little garden. Without losing
any of the wren's music, he plucked him a bunch of
radishes, cut heads of tender lettuce, picked a pan of
strawberries, added a pitcher of milk and a plate of
crackers or bread, and breakfast was ready. So the
vegetable habit simplifies life.
