a teaspoonful of salt, half a teaspoonful of black pepper, and rather less of paprika. Spread the paste over the slices of rare beef and dredge liber- ally with flour. Have a very hot frying pan, put in it three tablespoonfuls of butter, as needed, cook quickly, and serve as soon as done on a hot dish. If a still hotter dish is desired, increase the mus- tard and add cayenne. 138 AUGUST 9TH "Bestrew'd with lettuce and cool salad herbs." — Beaumont and Fletcher ("Woman Hater"). THERE are very few vegetables that do not make an excellent addition to a macedoine salad — the " cool salad herbs " are almost un- limited. A few boiled potatoes, a plateful of lima or string beans, of peas, carrots, spinach, or boiled onion, may be har- moniously joined with uncooked celery, cress, or lettuce, and may be blended with a mayonnaise dressing and garnished with olives or capers or sliced cucumber pickle, or may be served with a simple French dressing poured over them. AUGUST lOTH "The coffee was boiling over a charcoal fire, and large slices of bread and butter were piled one upon the other like deals in a lumber yard." — Charles Dickens ("Sketches by Boz"). MUCH as French and Vienna coffee have grown in popular favor, some occasions and some people demand the old-fashioned sort, which may be made clear and delicious. Put in a bowl one heaping tablespoonful of ground coffee for each person and one for the pot ; add to it sufficient water 139 to moisten it thoroughly; put into the pot with as many cupfuls of boiling water as you have tablespoonfuls of coffee, less one. Add the crushed shell of an egg, or a little of the egg itself, beaten up with water, and allow it to come slowly to the boiling ; let it boil two or three minutes; take from the fire, put in a cup of cold water to settle it; put it back on the fire ; let it stand for a few minutes and pour into the serving pot, which should be hot. AUGUST iiTH "There was a ripe melon, a fish from the river in a memorable B^amaise sauce, a fat fowl in a fricassee and a dish of asparagus followed by a dish of fruit." — Robert Louis Stevenson ("The Treasure of Frauchard"). A PRESENT fashion for serving the small cantaloupes, or musk- melons, is thoroughly to chill the melons on ice; just before serving cut in halves and remove the seeds, putting in each half melon a large spoonful of ice cream, and for this purpose a rather plain cream is preferred. For those whose digestions warrant it this is an agreeable way of combining two favorite dishes. 140 AUGUST I2TH ''In reply to her sarcastic inquiry, he artlessly owned that he should like another cheese-cake." — Thackeray ("The Virginians"). M IX the curd of three quarts of milk, a pound of currants, twelve ounces of sugar, a quarter of an ounce of cinnamon, the same of nutmeg, the peel of one lemon, chopped to a paste, the yolks of eight and whites of six eggs, a pint of scalded cream and a glass of brandy. Put a light thin puflF- paste in patty pans and Uiree quarters fill them. AUGUST 13TH "There's a piUau, Joseph, just as you like it, and papa has brought die best turbot in Billingsgate." —Thackeray ("Vanity Fair"). FOR a Turkish pillau boil a fowl as for fricassee; add to the water in which it is boiled a teacup- ful of rice, half a teacupful of raisins, the same amount of blanched almonds, and a red pepper pod, from which the seeds have been carefully removed. Serve with the chicken. It will be a very hot dish. 141 AUGUST 14TH "He relieved the bag of a bottle of wine, slices of meat, hard eggs, and lettuce, a chipped cup to fling away after drinking the wine." — Geo&GE Mesedith ("The Amazing Marriage"). AN excellent variation on the hard- boiled eggs of picnics or luncheon baskets is to make them into salad eggs. Remove the shells, cut in halves, take out the yolks, and with a silver fork rub them smooth ; stir in oil and vinegar in the proportion of one spoonful of vin- egar to two of oil ; season with salt and paprika. Replace in the whites and press to^^ether. They are very appetizing on a journey. AUGUST ISTH ''And lo! two puddings smoked upon the board." — Pope. A SMOKING com-pudding is a pleasant sight when the mercury is low in summer. Scrape a dozen ears of full-gro>vn com by slitting each row of kernels with a sharp knife, and then with the back of the knife scraping all the soft part out, leaving the empty htill on the cob. Add a pint of milk, a cup of sugar, a teaspoonful 143 of salt and a tablespoon'ful of melted butte
