SUNDAY  NIGHT  SANDWICHES 
1. 

One  loaf  whole  wheat  bread,  of  firm  even  texture,  one 
day  old. 

Use  a  sharp,  flexible  steel  knife  for  slicing.  A  silver 
knife  to  spread  the  filling.  Butter  softened,  not  melted, 
or  mayonnaise.  Too  much  mayonnaise  gives  a  heavy 
flavor,  and  soaks  in. 

Method 

Cut  away  the  crust  and  slice  wafer  thin.  Place  on  a  damp 
cloth.  Spread  with  creamed  butter,  or  any  cheese  paste, 
or  chopped  nuts.  Start  at  one  end,  roll  away  from  you, 
making  the  first  turn  close,  giving  a  little  pressure  at  each 
turn  to  hold  in  shape.  The  center  may  be  dipped  in  the 
nut  paste.  Wrap  in  a  damp  cloth.  One  slice  makes  a 
sandwich,  cylindrical  in  shape. 

2. 

Variation 

Use  the  same  method  as  the  above,  except  cutting  the 
slices  the  entire  length  of  the  loaf.  Use  two  or  three  fill- 
ings, dividing  the  strip  into  halves  or  thirds.  Make  this 
as  the  old  fashioned  jelly  roll,  spreading  and  rolling  on  a 
damp  cloth.  Start  at  the  narrow  end  and  roll,  place  in  a 
damp  cloth  until  ready  to  serve,  then  slice  in  circles  like 
the  jelly  roll.  Filling  may  be  of  pimiento  cheese,  ham  or 
chicken  paste,  chopped  nuts,  dates,  figs  or  olives. 

3. 

One  loaf  of  white  bread.  One  loaf  of  whole  wheat.  One 
or  two  kinds  of  paste.  Jam,  nuts,  olives,  or  figs. 

Method 

Cut  away  the  crusts,  making  each  loaf  the  same  size. 
Slice  one-half  inch  thick.  Spread  one  white  slice  with 
paste,  place  on  it  one  brown  one,  paste.  Alternate  until  five 
slices  are  used,  the  last  being  white.  Reverse,  beginning 
with  a  brown  slice,  alternating  with  a  white,  using  five 
slices.  Paste  between  each  one.  Press  the  layers  firmly 
so  the  slices  hold  together  well.  Slice  one  half  inch  thick. 
The  result  will  be  as  a  five  layer  cake,  alternating  with 
the  light  and  dark.

MOTHER'S  ROAST  TURKEY  AND  DRESSING 

1  small  stale  loaf  bread  Sage 

Hot  water  Few  dashes  celery  salt 

J/t   cup  melted  butter  2  tbsp.  finely  chopped  onion 
Salt  and  pepper 

Select  a  turkey  that  is  plump  and  smooth,  with  soft  and 
pliable  cartilage  at  the  end  of  the  breastbone.  A  cock 
turkey  is  usually  better  than  a  hen  turkey  unless  the  hen 
turkey  is  young  and  plump.  Always  be  sure  the  turkey  is 
carefully  drawn  and  singed.  Wash  the  giblets  and  thor- 
oughly cook  until  tender;  (may  also  add  the  tips  of  the 
wings  and  the  neck,  start  cooking  in  cold  water.) 
Toast  sliced  bread  until  brown,  break  in  small  pieces,  add 
ingredients  then  the  hot  water  to  moisten.  Mix  thorough- 
ly, season  to  taste.  Stuff  by  spoonfuls  in  the  neck  end, 
stuff  the  body  and  sew  skin. 

Roasting — Rub  the  entire  surface  of  the  turkey  with  salt, 
sift  flour  over  it.  Place  on  its  side  on  a  rack  in  the  roast- 
ing pan  (a  savory  roaster  preferred.)  Cover  and  place  in 
a  hot  oven,  cook  for  three  hours  or  until  tender.  Be  sure 
and  keep  plenty  of  water  in  the  bottom  of  the  roaster 
during  the  cooking  and  baste  with  this  every  fifteen  or 
twenty  minutes.  Remove  the  lid  during  the  last  half  hour 
to  brown.  As  soon  as  one  side  browns,  turn  it  over. 
Gravy — Pour  off  the  liquid  in  which  the  turkey  was 
roasted,  add  a  pint  of  milk,  also  the  liquid  in  which  the 

51 


giblets  were  cooked,  bring  to  boiling  point,  add  thicken- 
ing (made  by  mixing  flour  and  water  until  smooth,)  stir 
constantly  until  as  thick  as  desired,  add  salt  and  pepper. 
May  be  strained  if  preferred.

Miss  Louise  Wolfenstelter 

CHILI   BEANS 

Soak  red  beans  over  night.  Parboil  next  morning  and 
cook  slowly  three  quarters  of  an  hour  in  plenty  of  water. 
Use  either  one  quarter  to  one  half  pound  of  salt  pork  or 
bits  of  left  over  ham  with  the  drippings  in  which  fry 
two  or  three  small  onions,  one  green  pepper,  one  or  two 
pods  of  garlic,  two  tablespoons  olive  oil  and  one  medium 
can  of  tomatoes. 

If  salt  pork  is  used,  dice  about  three  slices  of  bacon  into 
this  vegetables  mixture  and  fry.  If  ham  is  used,  it  will 
not  be  necessary. 

Use  one  and  one  half  teaspoons  chili  powder,  or,  if  you 
can  get  it,  use  the  real  chili,  grinding  it  up  or  powdering 
it  in  your  hand,  add  to  the  vegetable  sauce.  Drain  the 
beans,  add  to  the  sauce,  and  simmer  slowly  for  the 
rest  of  the  day.  These  are  better  if  allowed  to  stand 
in  the  sauce  over  night. 

Plenty  of  parmesan  or  other  grated  cheese  should  be 
shaken  over  the  top  when  served,  or  if  you  like,  place  in 
baking  dish,  cover  with  cheese  and  bake  in  the  oven.  This 
may  be  done  instead  of  cooking  all  day,  but  the  cheese 
must  then  be  added  about  half  an  hour  before  serving. 
Cover  beans,  if  oven  baked,  and  bake  slowly  for  several 
hours.  Add  water  or  tomato  juice  if  they  seem  dry.

CANDIED  FIGS 

Dissolve  1  tbsp.  soda  in  boiling  water.  Pour  over  fruit. 
Let  stand  10  minutes;  Rinse  figs  well;  make  syrup  of  2 
parts  sugar  to  1  part  water.  Boil  fruit  slowly  15  minutes. 
Let  stand  over  night;  boil  again  15  minutes;  let  stand. 
The  third  morning  boil  again  and  let  stand  until  begin- 
ning to  cool  then  drain  and  roll  in  sugar.  Figs  should  be 
ripe  but  not  broken  and  care  should  be  taken  not  to 
break  them.

FONDANT 

3  cups  finely  ground  cane  sugar     1/16  tsp.  salt 
%  tsp.  cream  tartar  1  cup  boiling  water 

Combine  dry  ingredients,  add  boiling  water,  set  over  low 
flame  until  sugar  is  melted,  then  increase  heat  and  boil 
briskly  until  it  can  be  picked  up  in  a  little  water  (cold) . 
Remove  and  wipe  mixture  from  sides  of  pan,  cover  with 
a  dampened  cloth  then  with  lid  of  pan  and  set  aside  to 
cool.  When  cool  enough  to  allow  the  finger  to  be  press- 
ed to  the  bottom  of  the  pan  it  is  ready  to  be  beaten.  When 
it  creams  roll  into  a  ball  and  wrap  in  waxed  paper.  The 
next  day  knead  to  a  smooth  consistency  on  a  large  platter 
or  any  hard  cold  surface.  This  will  prevent  the  formation 
of  crystals.  The  secret  of  good  candy  from  now  on  is  the 
flavoring.  This  amount  is  generally  divided  into  3  parts, 
colored  and  flavored  according  to  taste.

TO  PRESERVE  A  HUSBAND 

Be  careful  in  your  selection ;  do  not  choose  one  too  young, 
and  take  only  such  varieties  as  have  been  raised  in  a 
good  moral  atmosphere.  When  once  decided  upon  and 
selected,  let  that  question  remain  forever  settled,  and 
give  your  time  and  thought  to  domestic  use.  Some  insist 
on  keeping  them  in  a  pickle,  while  others  are  constantly 
keeping  them  in  hot  water.  But  even  poor  varieties  may 
be  made  sweet  and  tender  and  good  by  garnishing  with 
patience  well  sweetened  with  smiles;  then  wrap  them  in 
the  mantle  of  charity,  keep  warm  with  a  steady  fire  of 
domestic  devotion,  and  serve  with  peaches  and  cream. 
When  thus  prepared  they  will  keep  for  years.

MENU 


French  Line  chefs  prepare  every  dish 
as  though  it  were  to  pass  inspection  by 
the  illustrious  Savarin  himself.  They  as- 
sume— and  rightly — that  French  Line 
passengers  are  connoiseurs  of  fine  living, 
who  tolerate  no  slightest  deviation  from 
the  high  tradition  of  the  most  renowned 
restaurants.  But  all  the  velvety  excel- 
lence of  a  well  made  sauce  ...  all  the 
classic  simplicity  of  a  consomme  .  .  . 
the  studied  skill  of  the  most  talented 
chef  .  .  .  would  be  wasted,  if  in  decor- 
ation ...  in  suave  service  (English 
speaking)  .  .  .  and  in  congenial  com- 
panionship, the  French  Line  did  not  in- 
sure those  attendant  and  necessary  har- 
monies without  which  no  dinner  may  be 
reckoned  a  masterpiece. 

You  will  always  find  a  superb  menu  on  the 
famous  fleet  of  the  French  Line  *  *  *  the 
"Nonnandie"  (World's  largest  ship)  «  *  *  "He 
de  France"  *  *  *  "Paris"  *  *  *  "Champlaln"
