Cut the saddle and hind legs from a large Belgian hare, and put the remainder in a roasting pan with two sliced onions, one carrot, one stalk of leek, one-half stalk of celery, a few pepper berries, two cloves, three bay leaves, two sprigs of thyme, and three ounces of butter. Season with salt and pepper, and put in oven and roast until done. Then sprinkle with three spoonfuls of flour, and roast again until the flour is brown. Then put in a casserole with two gallons of water and a little salt and one pound of lentils, and boil for four hours. Then force all that is possible through a fine sieve. Roast the legs and saddle of the hare, and cut the meat in half-inch squares. Put the strained soup back in the casserole, bring to a boil, add the cut-up hare meat and one glassful of sherry wine, and season if necessary with salt and Cayenne pepper. Crepes Suzette.

Mix the sugar and butter to a light cream, then add the liquor and orange, and mix thoroughly. Spread some of the cream over each pancake, and then fold in the form of an English pancake. Place them in a chafing dish, pour two ponies of brandy or kirschwasser over them, and light just before serving. THE HOTEL ST.
