A dawning interest ill the clock's hands as they veer round towards inoalhours is one of the little ironies of convalescence. When the world shakes its head over the night nurse's report, and day and lamp-light aro one drawnout nightmare, the jellies and soups, frothy eggs, and brandied milks are always as carefully thought out as if tho unfortunate victim were conscious of, or, anyway concerned with, food or anything else. Convalescence, on the contrary, is the greediest period of existence. There is nothing in tho wide world so interesting >a« breakfast, except, perhaps, lunch, tea, or surprise "betweens." The irony lies in the amateur nurse's loss of interest when this point is reached, and the cook ■usually allows herself, day after day to" send up tho chicken wings, and panadas, ehleken-teas, and egg-flips, which generally succeed in putting the farmyard off the active list for years to come. As an alternative to egg and milk, a new laid egg, well beaten to a. froth, can he mixed with coffeo or tea, the ege being added almost a drop at a time, so as "to eivoid curdling it. Instead of using a whole egg, ifiTniy people prefer to take only the yolk, which should be first beaten up in a tablespoonful of boiling water, and may . then be mixed with milk, coffee, or tea, or —when cool—be made into a refreshing drink by stirring into it a half-bottlo of seltzer or soda-water.

Veal jelly, made by cutting up and then simmering a knuckle of veal slowly in a very little water—nicely seasoned — is nourish in'„' in later convalescence. When ensilv detached from the bone, the meat should be freed, from gristle, and a layer placed at the bottom of a breakfast cup, half the yolk of a hardboiled egg—finely flaked—sprinkled on the. top, and a little more of the meat and egg added, until the cup is nearly full, A little gelatine should then he added to the reduced liquor in which the knuckle was boiled, stirred into the meat, and the cup Bet aside to cool, and when cold the jelly may be turned out and served. As a "pick-me-up," there are few better inventions than an "egg-oy«ter." To make it a perfectly new laid egg is broken into a cup containing half a teaspoonful of lemon juice, a Tittle pepper and. salt are strewn over tho top, and the egg i« Bwallowed, ae an oyster, without whisking. Bnrley cream is another excellent 11 o'clock stimulant. A good method of making is that of shredding four ounces of veal cutlet—freed from skin and fat—and putting the meat in a saucepan with -J-oz of pearl barley and half a nint of cold water. After stewing it slowlv for two hours, the meat and barlcv should be nressed through a sieve, half a gill of thick cream added, with salt and pepper,- and the whole, when reheated, served as it is, or a spoonful at a time.' P.or-ched eggs on or tomatoes, are more appetising than if imply served on toast, whilst an excellent MVirary custard may'be made with i alf a lint of beef-tea stirred gradually into a'Snail dessertspoonful of cornflour, then . simmered over the fire, and when cooked, a well-beaten egg stirred in. AVhere sweets are concerned, jellies are usual favourites, although, from port wine and Bordeaux, through the gamut of coffee, milk, lemon, and orange, to Dutch flummeries and egg jplHps. there is no reason why the same dish should be evolved again unless the invalid should wish a repetition.
