ANSWERS TO QUERIES.

‘Troublesome.’— l must assure you that your name is quite inappropriate. This is a good way of making a dish of devilled turkey. For sauce I would suggest Schwarze, which, I can assure you, is not at all common. Score the rump, gizzard and drumsticks of a cold roasted turkey at half-inch distances and three-quarters of an inch deep ; rub pepper, salt and cayenne into the divisions and over the legs. Broil for twenty minutes, place the legs, etc., on a •hot dish, and pour over them Schwarze sauce made very hot. The devil can also be served without a sauce, and be more highly seasoned. When this dish is preferred cold, first remove carefully all signs of fat and cover with aspic jelly. Schwarze Sauce (Black Sauce), for game, venison, etc. : Brown two tablespoonfuls of flour and a chopped onion in butter, add some brown stock or gravy, a bay leaf, three cloves, a piece of lemon peel, some salt and black pepper, a dozen crushed juniper beiries, two tablespoonfuls of black currant preserve, a tablespoonful of vinegar, a glass of red wine and a teaspoonful of chili vinegar, or, instead of this, a little cayenne. Boil for a few minutes and strain the sauce.

• Anxious.’—The best sort of corset would be one with a long curved busk. On no account have it tight round the waist, as this would materially increase the trouble you wish to hide. Ido not think these at all comfortable, as it is not easy to stoop. There is another kind made specially with a low belt, which, the advertisement says, never fails to reduce the size. If you like to write to me again, •snd enclose a stamped envelope, I will send you some sketches of corsets, and you could see just what I mean. I think if you sent one of the sketches to a good draper in Auckland or Napiei, he would send you something to suit you by parcel post. Or perhaps you would prefer to write to him direct, stating what you want, and get him to send a sketch of anything he has which would be likely to suit you. Your letter is dated May 3rd, I received it May 16th.
