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.

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.

roasted, add a pint of milk, also the liquid in which the

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.

% 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"
* * * "Lafayette," all sailing from New York
to England and France * * * or on the French
Line's Pacific Coast fleet, "Oregon" * * *
"Washington" * * "Wisconsin" * * * "Wy-
oming" * * * "Winnipeg," sailing from Los
Angeles via Central America and Panama to
France.
