Carolina rice and wash it well ; if this is done it will not be so likely to burn. Put it in a saucepan with as much water as will cover it, bring it to the boil, and simmer it gently till the water is absorbed, then pour upon it a pint of milk, throw in the thinly-cut rind of half a lemon, add a lump of butter, and simmer gently till the rice is quite soft. Put it in a basin, and take out the Jemon-rind. Beat the rice well with the back of a wooden spoon, sweeten it, and let it go cold. Break two eggs, and put the whites on a separate dish. Stir the yolks unbeaten into the rice. Butter a plain mould, throw a handful of finely-grated bread-crumbs into it ; whisk the whites of the eggs to a firm froth, at the last moment stir them lightly into the rice, pour the mixture into the mould, and bake in a hot oven. It will be ready in a little less than an hour. Let it stand a minute or two, turn it out, and serve.

For To-morrow .—Partridges are now in full season, but they are so uncertain in price that they can scarcely be said to be at the disposal of the strictly economical housekeeper. They should be well kept before being cooked ; if dressed when freshly killed they would be flavourless and hard. The length of time that they are to be kept, and their condition when cooked, must depend, however, upon the weather and the taste of those who have to eat them. Young birds are to be preferred, with dark coloured bills and yellow legs. Muffins (January 29th).
