sugar. Fill patty-shells of thin puff-paste and bake half an hour in a moderate oven. 64 APRIL 8th "How sweet the butter our own hands have churned!" — Chasles Reade ("It Is Never Too Late To Mend"). THE small modem churns that come for "making butter while you wait" solve all difficulties in the way of having the fresh, sweet butter so much liked by many people, but no one need be deterred from having it by the lack of a chum, as the largest sized egg-beaters and a kitchen-bowl answer admirably. The cream needs to be heavy and it comes more quickly if it is near but not at the souring point. Beat briskly past the whipped-cream stage and the butter soon comes. No better butter can be made than has been produced with a bowl and a wooden paddle. APRIL grn "He heard the bacon sputter on the fork, And heard his mother's step across the floor.** — ^Jean Ingelow ("Poems"). HE might as easily have heard the bacon sputter in the frying-pan, if his mother had placed there half a dozen slices when the pan was hot. To make fried bacon delicious, remove, when beginning to curl up at the edges, ^5 to a hot dish, and fry half a pound of mushrooms, steamed, washed, and peeled, in the bacon fat left in the pan. Pour them over slices of toast, arrange over them the bacon and serve hot. APRIL lOTH "To feed on caviare and eat anchovies." — ^Ran- dolph ("Muse's Looking-Glass "). SPREAD on delicate slices of toast anchovies from which the heads and backbones have been taken: the best are those packed in bay leaves ?ind spices. Lightly scramble five eggs, in which are stirred one large tablespoonful of butter, four of cream, salt and pepper. When the eggs begin to thicken turn on to the toast. A cupful of tomatoes cut in bits is an addition much liked by many, or stewed tomato may be used if more convenient. APRIL iiTH "The sweets shook and trembled, till it was quite impossible to help them." — Charles Dickens ("Sketches by Boz"). FOR a pleasant and wholesome des- sert, orange charlotte is well adapted. Soak one-third of a box of gelatine in a third of a cup of cold 66 water ; when dissolved pour on a third of a cup of boiling water, the juice of a large lemon and one cup of sugar. Strain and add a cup of orange-juice and pulp and a little of the grated rind. Cool in a pan of ice-water; when cold add a cup of cream whipped stiff. Line a mould with lady-fingers or stale cake and pour in the orange mixture. APRIL I2TH "A bam-door fowl Wliich does not awe you with its claws and beak. But which in cackling sets you thinking of Your eggs to-morrow at breakfast, in the pause Of finer meditation." — ^Mrs. Browning ("Aurora Leigh"). EGGS fried in sweet-oil make a pleasant variety and are more deli- cate than the usual fried egg. Put about two tablespoonfuls of olive- oil in a hot spider; when the oil is hot break in one egg, then another; by the time the second egg is in the pan the first will be ready to fold over. By the time the second is folded the first is ready to take out. Repeat until enough eggs are cooked. 67 APRIL 13TH "This dish of meat is too good for any but anglers or very honest men." — ^Isaak Walton ("Complete Angler"). EBOBBED mutton" is a dish that would answer to the gentle angler's description. Remove all the fat from a loin of mutton and cut it into chops or steaks. Dip these into the yolks of three eggs and sprinkle over them bread-crumbs seasoned with salt and pepper and summer savory. Place them together as before they were cut and tie them in shape. Roast them in a quick oven half an hour, basting with butter and the juices of the meat. Make a gravy by adding to the liquid remaining in the pan after the meat is cooked a tablespoonful of flour and a teacupful of tomato catsup. APRIL 14TH "You'd find sandwiches and sherry in plenty if you were to search his carriage." — ^Trollope ("Phineas Finn"). A DELICIOUS sandwich to eat with wine is made of Jordan al- monds, pounded in a mortar, sprinkled with sugar, moistened with rich cream, and spread on thin slices of Boston brown bread
