SOME RECIPES-

4- t™ Here are Some recipes to try. . ! S oin o from across the seas the Jig Lamb patties and pineapple shou M be a favourite course with tho.o who are dieting to remain, or peihaps become slim. _ Trim some chops and remove hones. Grill whole slices of pineapple in butter. Place the pineapple on a hot dish arid lay the grilled chops on top. . "Coruncopia surprises" arc awluli.v nice. Use bread of a firm texture Spread the butter on the loaf, cut thinly, and roll each slice in the form of a coruncopia- Fill these with a mixture of shrimp, celery and mayannaise. Cooking is no doubt a wonderful pastime. How many hours one spends in the kitchen making meals. One may spend perhaps an hour or more "boalliiig" eggs, "whipping" cream or butter, "chopping" nuts otherwise maltreating sonic sort of condiment or another. These _ preliminary tortures take time b'elievo me. and the result may no doubt—if one goes well—be a delicious, cake, which will take perhaps three minutes to demolish, that is given a sufficient number of people or are bravo enough to help in the demolishing process—what a game,
