My Lady's Satchel.

By

T.K

I thoroughly approve of what, (or him) my Lady is pleased to term • The Co-operative Husband.' Tarn quite as sure as abe ia, that no successful home c:i» be maintained without hiru. I am more than ready to become an example of the w*y in which an ordi nary man may be developed into that usetul and eminent being. But like so many of the charming photographs that my dear dioUtiice has been tailing lately, I am shut up and labelled Ifo be kept for future development.' Apropos of the other aide of the ques tion I find some useful jotting* in her d book. I transcribe a few of them. 1 hat the appearance of a meal should always be inviting, the first essential v cleanliness. Your table may be covered with choice damask, wi*h costly china and solid silver, but, if .the cloth is spotted and ill washed, if ,tbe silver is dull, and the places and dishes clouded and dim, you may decorate as much as you please. You may even have a well-cooked dinner, ■ but still it baa notihe attractive charm it oaght to have. You m&y have nspery of coarse texture, you may have crockery instead of 1 China, and Britannia mefcal (or electro-plate, at the beat) in p'.aco of silver, *nd yet, if yoar tablecloth be snowy white, (and soap and water and blue are cheap), and your plates and diehes brilliantly clean, and your spoons and forks as resplendent as whitening, and wash leather, and elbow greasa can make them, you will have a table that will be refreshing even to look upon, though you may not be one privileged to partake of the wholesome food, which is]sare to be prepared for such well kept utensils. Appropriate to tow-homely table are a few tasty and inexpensive diahea. It is wonderful what a number of good things cs.n be Bade out of a neck of mutton. In these days when meat haa gone rap, it is worth while considering what can be done with the cheapar 'cuts'. Procure a neck of mutton, see that it is perfectly sweet, wash it all care fully, for traces of blood often hang about the throat, which would spoil your dainty dish besides being injur ious to your health. Divide the neck into neat chops-—the butcher will do it for you—take six, eight, or more according to the number yon must provide for, ©artfully remove the bone, with a small sharp knifp, beat these pieces of meat with your potato-beater on your meat block, trim them into nice round cutlets } prepare bread-crumb beat ap an egg, dip each cutlet firsc into the egg, then into the bret»d crumb and fry a nice brown, if you have no other dripping for your pan, while you are preparing your meat, you can have the fat from your ' joint' melting in your frying pan, until you have sufficient for your purpose, then run ning the scraps of skin and keeping only the liquid latin the pan, put ia your outlets, do not forget pepper and Bait to taste, serve on a hot diah round nicely mashed potatoes or stewed tomatoes Carefully bone the rest of the meat (brown those bones in the oven, but by no means burn them), put it through a mincing machine (-kin and all) with mixed herbs; when nicely minced mix pppper, salt and spice, and a weh beaten egg, flour your hands and shape nice, plump sausages, flour them well and set them in a cool place ready for to-tnorrow'd breakfast or dinner as you mny choose. Th^se are two good meals from a despisf d neck of mutton ! Of the browned bones make a good gravy, which wii! greatly improve both of these dishes e?pecially if you add a littb home-made chutney or ketchup, or tomato sauce. Agtin other two dishes from tin's same 'joint'if one may dare so to dignify it Prepare your chops as before but do not remove the bon* 1, fry quickly (with flour sprinkled over) to bright bones, when browned remove from pan and Btew gently with pot herbs, and pepper and salt, stew for an hour and a half gently,' take off stewpan, dissolve a little gelatine in the gravy, take out the chop 3 and carefully remove the bones;put the meat into a clean pud ding basin (previously rinsed with a little cold wate>), pour the gravy over until the meat is covered, stand in a cool place until next day, then remove the cold fat from top of the basin and turn the contents on to a dish ; garnish with parsley. You can have as pretty aod taßty a jelly mould, for supper, luncheon or breakfast as any house keeper need dpsire, and if eggs are plentiful and you like them, and you boil a coup!© hard and lay slices of them in the bottom, and round the sides of your basin, before putting the me.it into it, you will find it an im provement, and wme people like to have some well boiled maccaroni and place it (instead of the slices of hard boiled eggs or along with them in the basin. Then from the remainder of the meat remove all the bones (brown them wi'.h sauce onion in the bottom of your stawpan with sufficient fat to keep from burning— Must not burn — while you are preparing the meat) if the meat is scrappy beat it on a board with your potato 3 beater then lay upon it aome duck or chicken stuffing roll the meat into a meat roll with some wide tape. Then take yoar stew pan pour cfi all the fat, put in your 'mock chicken'or 'duck', fust cover with boiling water, stew very gently for two hours, If you decide to nvkfl a 'chicken' of your meat—leave out the onion when you brown the bones. "When it is cooked, you can make a beautiful gravy of some of the broth in which it has been stewed. This 'chicken' or 'duck' is admirably baked. "The bonea for making gravy may then be laid round the baking tin well ii-jured and of coarse removed when the chicken is dished. This is very good eaten hot orcoid, I have given you two pairs of recipes for cooking this 'bit' of meat and I have at least two pairs more but I most leave them for another Una?.
