Potatoes Grated cheese Salt and cayenne Grease a biscuit tray with butter. (Peel the potatoes and cut into very thin slices. Place on the tin, sprinkle with 'gait and grated cheese and then the cayenne. Place in a moderate oven and bake slowly about half an hour until gold'&H-^brown."••-Serve- very hot. Of the dlrl-fuyourite —(Saratoga chips. Peel some potatoes and finely on a marmalade grater, slices in cold water for an hour. Drain, dry the potato on a cloth and fry in deep hot fat till golden, crisp and curly. Turn on to absorbent piper and sprinkle lavishly with salt. These have an advantage in that they are Served cold (in a crystal bowl) and may be made a few days in advance, kept in air-tight jars or tins. Tiny savoury biscuits will come of great use. You can make them at home or you may buy them in tins Dress them too in interesting ways. A quaint decorative piece may be made by securing with toothpicks in order, tiny circles or gherkin, beetroot, cheese, sausage (cooked), and then through the biscuit. Secure the picks to a grapefruit or apple and decorate tastefully with parselv or nasturtiums. Cook well.

Two tasty canapes ane prepared from fancy shapes of .bread fried a golden brown and spread with: (a) minced green peas and a little mint. Garner! with slices of stuffed olives or to whipped cream add a few drops of anchovy sauce and pink colouring. Force on to the bread and garnish with finely chopped parsley —just a sprinkling. Serve hot tiny rolls of bacon stuffed with oyster, prunes, apricots, and secured wit’i picks. They should be really hot and on a paper d’oyley. * In preparing savouiyes for a party the main thing is to have plenty , ideas and a good sense of taste and service. You can do more with tlie-e than with a book of recipes.
