Chop" fine one-half pound suet, add one half pound currants, one. half 'pound finely sliced citron, one half pound brown sugar, the crumb from che inside of a pound loaf of bread, one cup pastry flour sifted with a half tablespoon of ground cloves, one tea spoon of soda, a half tablespoon of tinnamon, a half tablespon of nut meg, a teaspon of salt. Then, when these dry ingredients are very thor oughly mixed, add one cup milk, a quarter cup cider, four well beaten sggs and two tablespoons lemon juice.

Chill them thoroughly and combine them carefully and at tractively. String beans and cauliflow er go well together. Diced beets and peas, lima beans and carrots, carrots and peas, chopped spinach alone—these are but suggestions. The cook wth an instinctive feeling for what is good in combination will devise a salad out of any left-over vegetables she may have on hand. * sfr Easily Made Toffee To make ordinary toffee put a pound of granulated sugar in a sauce pan, with a teacup of water, a quarter pound of buttgr, and a small can of condensed milk. Cook this slowly for three-quarters of an hour, stirring oc casionally to keep from cooking too fast. To test it let some drop from the end of a spoon on a cold plate and if when cool it is the consistency of tof fee it is ready to take from the fire. Add a few drops of vanilla. Have a plate or plates ready buttered and turn the toffee on this to harden. When it is fairly solid cut into pieces of desir ed size with a clean pair of scissors. Roll each piece in a little powdered sugar and do up in a little piece of oiled paper.
