Things to Remember.

All vegetables gathered fresh from the garden cook in less time than do those bought in the markets. The time given for green beans in this table is under rather than over the amount necessary. When entertaining a company it is well to remember a little table of quantity, which requires: 1 quart of oysters to every three persons present. 5 ehiekens and 15 heads celery, for salad, to every 50 guests. 1 gallon ice cream to every 20 guests. 6 to 10 quarts wine jelly to every 100 guests. 130 sandwiches to every 100 guests. 4 dozen biscuits for every 20 guests. There is another table, which I call the table of propinquity, which it is well to know, as it keeps in mind the fitness of things in preparing a menu. Everyone knows that roast pork should have its accompaniment of apple sauce, but there are other combinations equally fitting, which are often overlooked, to the discomfort of the gastronomist.
