CHRISTMAS DINNER,
THE TURICEY.
The turkey should hang for two nights,
If frozen, plunge it. into a tub of fresh water
to thaw before cooking. To make the
stuffing or filling, take one pouud of bread
crumbs, one teacupful of sweet cream, one
raw egg, two tablespoonfuls of melted
butter, one slice of onion, minced fine.
Season with salt and plenty. of black
pepper. Fill the body of the turkey and
the hollow in the breast from, which the
eraw was removed. Take a stitch or two
in the skin, to prevent the eseape el the
stuffing. Rub salt and pepper over the
turkey, dredge it well with sifted flour ;
put in a pan with two quarts of water and
set in the oven to roast As it cooks, haste
continually with the gravy in the pan.
TN hen the back is brown, turn first one side
then the other to brown, dredging eaeh time
with more flour. Last of all brown the
breast. Let the fire be steady, but not too
hob, or the turkey will be brown before it
is done. For a twelve-pouod turkey allow
three hours at least. If the turkey bas
been properly dredged, the gravy wilt need
no additional thickening ; but if it is not
quite thick enough, a little flour, mixed to
a smooth paste, may be added, stirring well
meanwhile to keep it smooth. All of the
grease should be skimmed from the gravy
before sending it to the table.
cnicavoe PIE.
Cut up and boil the chickens in just
enough water to cover them and when
tender take out and out into smaller pieees,
removing. the thick skin. Line a deep
baking pleb with a crust rolled twice as
thick as for a frnit pie. Pot in the chicken
in layers, sprinkling each layer with a little
salt and flour, Fill the dish, nearly full
with the liquor in which the chickens were
boiled and add if liked a few bits of butter
aud a little pepper. Cover with an upper
crust, cutting ont o seotion from the centre,
and closing the outer edges neatly.
For the crust use one quart of flour into
which has been sifted three teaspoonfuls of
baking powder and a teasp000ful of salt.
Rub in a cup of bntter and mix with sweet
milk as soft as can be rolled out.

also to dislodge the stems.

3riNCE. MEAT AND PIM
"Two months to mellow" was the alvice
of a famous housekeeper in regard to mince
meat. It is the custom with many good
cooks to make sufficient meat at Christmas
time to last all winter. Sometimes the
apple is added and the whole mixture cook-
ed long and slowly and then put away in
earthen jars or sealed in glass fruit oans ;
another plan is to prepare the meat, fruit
and seasoning and add the chopped apple
as needed. This is a good way for plain
mince meat or where large quantities are
made. In any case it is true that mince
meat improves with age and as soon as it is
settled cold weather it is time to make it
and have it off your mind.
Hygienic? Nobody believes it is, yet
everybody wants just a few mince pies each
season, although, doubtless, there are fami.
lies who eat altogether too many.
The best rule for mince meat, like the
baby and the sewing machine, is generally
one's own, yet there are some unfortunate
hoesekeepers who have none of their own,
and for their benefit several excellent rules
are given, from which they may select ac-
cording to their own taste, pocket -hook or
husband's digestion. Some housekeepers
buy a tongue for mince meat, others think
any scraggly or cheap piece will do. I find
it a satisfactory way to get a solid piece
from the roiled. This season I shall use
some boiled cider and sortie preserved citron
of my own make. The apples will be added
because. they are on hand, and the grated
rind and the juice of lemma which are an
addition to any formula.
Finally after it is prepared I must trust
t,o housewifely vigilance to keep the mince
meat in a steam -heated apartment, where
evely place from pantry to tiny basement
storeroom is ;warmed day and night.
The following rule will make
A DELICIOUS COmPorND
and originated with Mrs. Green, a teacher
of cookery. This quantity will make ten
Two cups of chopped meat, five cups of
chopped apple, Otte cup of molasses, three
cups of brown sugar, one map of boiled cider;
season with two teaspoontifis of cinnamon,
one each of cloves, allspice and mate, the
juice and rind of one lemon. Add also one
cup of the liquid in which the meat was boil-
ed, one cup of vinegar, one cup of water,
three teaspoonfuls of salt, tWO 0111)S of chop,
ped raisins, mie and one-half cups of chopped
citron and candied orange peel, two cups of
currants, one-half cup of chopped suet or if
no suet is used butter may be sebatituted.
Mix all together thoroughly and cook two
hours slowly. •
A ItIUCH-eRIxED 'RULE
is the following One and one-half pounds
of meat --after it is boiled---ohoppcd fine,
one and one -tall pounds of suet chopped
fine, three winds of chopped apple, one
pound of sugar, one cup of molasses, one
quart, of boiled cider, oue tablespoonful

half tablespoonful of cloves, a scant quarter
of a cup of salt, one nuance.; one and one
pounds of raisins seeded and ooe and
one-half pounds of currants. Cook /slowly
until the apple is done ; then add the juice

Two cups of meat, four cups of apple, two
teaspoonfuls each of salt, cinnamon and all-
spice, two cups of brown sugar, one oup of
raisins, one cup of currants, two cups of
sweet pickle vinegar or one cup of water
and the juice of four lemons. Chop the meat
fine also the apples and the raisins after
stoning them. Cook all together until the
apple is soft.
moeuau'a mane rm.
Use four pounds of lean beef, two pounds
of suet; boil them together until tender,
then cool and, skint of' all the top of the
liquor and ohop it fine with the beef. Have
twelve cupa of chopped apple and three
quinces chopped ,fine and three quarts of
sweet eider ; cook the apple and quince a
little in the cider. Then mix together
thoroughly the chopped meat and suet, the
apple and quince, cider, four pounds of seed-
ed raisius, four pounds of currauts, one
Quart of brandy, two quarts of molasses six
lemons and six oraoges (the juice only), diree
ounces of citron out tine, one and. one-balf
ounces each of clove, cinnamon, mace and
and nutmeg, one teaspoonful of black pep-
per, and aalt to taste. Heat the mixture to
the boiling point and it is ready for use.
The juices of canned fruit may be used in
mince meat and are an exeellent addition.
Inetead of raisins, fresh grapes may be
used ; stone them and spread thennover the
pie before putting on the top crust.
Mother estimated that this rule would
make about three gallons of mince meat,
and. advised the beginner to make ball the
rule at the first trial.
She also said that if one did not use the
brand, boiled eider might be substituted
for a part of the brandy, and the liquor in
which the meat was boiled used to make up
the remainder. Too much boiled eider
give a a bitter taste to mince meat.
APPLE POPP rte.
Pare, quarter and core eight sour apples
and steam until tender. Ranh througn
strainer and season while hot with a level
tablespoonfulof butter,alittle mace, the rind
of a lemon grated and sugar to taste. When
cold line plates with paste and fill with the
cooked apple, cover with puffpaste and cook
in a hot oven from thirty to forty' minutes.
OYSTER VILLINO VOR PATTIES.
Brown a tablespoonful each of flour and
butter together, pear on slowly one.half
cop of oyster liquor and one-quarter cup
of hot milk. Season with Salt and pepper
and add a teaspoonful of essence of enchant -
les. Add a cup of parboiled and drained
oysters anti fill the patty elinee.
Tilt: ntw RULE FOR PCPC PASTE
different from that which has been gis en in
the cooking school atprevious lectures. Use
a pound of flour, the yolk of one egg., a tea-
spoont al of salt and a teaspoonful of lemon
juice. Mix with ice water mini it is a
stiff dough like a ball, then toes it on to the
board and knead a long tirne.
The kneading of puff paste is contrary to
all previous notioesin regard to pastry mak-
ing ; the object evidently is to thoroughly
incorporate the yolk of the egg and the
lemon juice, Having kneaded the paste
dough, pat And roll it out, and put it away -
to chill.
Butter for 'puff paste must be washed to
remove the buttermilk. Rinse the bowl
with hot weter then putin n piece of ice.
Dip the hands into hot then into ice cold
water and work the butter over in the ice
water until it becomes waxy, then pat it to
remove all the moisture and divide it into
long stips and lay on a clean napkin in
pan sot in another pan of i.e or where it
will get thoroughly chilled.
Having et illed the paste and butter they
are ready to be incorporated. Pound out
the paste with the rolling pin into a long
shape and lay on one of the pieces of chilled
butter which has been rolled out to nearly
the size and shape of the paste. Fold each
side of the paste toward the centre, then at
the end fold one-third over to the centre
and the remaining portion over that. This
makes a square block of paste -with many
layers: Turn the block of paste half way
round then pound out until about one.third
of an inch thick; use weedier section of
the butter in exactly the same way, folding
again. Repeat a third time and the butter
is then all added.
Now every good cook understands that
the blisters which appear on the surface of
the pastry must not be broken, and this is
one reason why pounding or patting the
paste into shape is better than to roll it
and risk breaking the blisters or bubbles of
air. Every bubble of air which can be en-
closed by folding chilled paste is so much
additional lightness when it is put into a
hot oven and the air attempts to escape.
Seven times is not too many to fold and
pound out the paste, but it must be kept
thoroughly cold, and if it grows warm set
it away at once to chill and always be mire
to chill it before using. A warm, muggy
atmosphere affects puff paste audit will not
be as nice as when made on a clear day.
Puff paste when baked in patties and
st ells is much lighter than when it is in a
pie because the dampness of the filling de-
tracts from its dry, feathery lightness. Roll
the paste evenly about one half an inch
thick. Cut cent circles and from one half
cut out another smaller circle. Put the
large circle and the rim together, wetting
with ice -water; bake the small circles
separately. Having rolled out the crust
for the patties, chill it in a pan of ice or
where it is very cold. The oven should be
hot but not hot enough to brown the top
before the paste has risen. rt will take about
twenty.five minutes to bake the patties.
There will always be a bit of uncooked paste
in the centre of the lower crust of a patty
which must be carefully taken out with a
small spoon or fork. •
Do not use puff paste for the tinder etust
of pies; it is a waste of strength, beside the
undercrust ought not to be puffy.
In rolling out plain paste you can roll in
any direction.
A DAINTY CHIRISTMAS TEA.
The principal meal on Christmas Day, is,
of course the dinner, wnich is, geuerelly
speaking, of a very elaborate character;
the tea, therefore, in order to be really ap-
preciated sliould form as far as possible, a
pleasing contrast. Nothing of a hot, heavy,
or greasy nature should be provided, but
only those light, elegant trifles which are
so enjoyable when accompanied by a cup of
judiciously made tee: One exception, how-
41111111111111P
ever, is generally made to this rule, and that
is in favor of the time.honored Christmas
plum cake, which, it must be confessed,
is rather a substantial delay, and yet with-
out which the tea-Mble wonld, in tae esti-
mation of the young folks at any rate, be
lacking in it chief atteactnin.
•As to the manner of serving the meal -
whether the guests shall gather round 'he i
table and enjoy their tea n the comfortable,
old.fasbioned style, or whether they shall
be allowed to sit or stand about the room as
inatjoo. prompts them and have the 'cups,
etc., handed roun de -that is a point to be de-
cided by each individual hostess, who is
supposed. to arrange these little details
according to her own ideas of what will be
more pleasing to those whom she is enter -
tabling. In any case, however, the table
should be rendered as dainty and atttactive
looking as possible that it may act as 0 sort,
of stimulus to the appetite ; and this point
eau be very eiisily accomplished, by just
bringing 4 little, genuine good taste to bear
upon the subject. In arranging the widens
dishes, which should be the very loveliest
we possess, intermix them with a plentiful
supply of winter flowers and delicate ferns,
if such are to be had • if not, use holly
and .holly -berries widen, when arrarged
artistically, form a most pleasing and etre°.
tive decoration. The , flowers and ferns
appear to best advantage when placed in
smell finger -glasses or slender vases, but
the holly, with its beautiful, brilliant berries
should be arranged in long, trailing sprays
upon tee snowy -white cloth. The Making
and twisting of these spraya in a light,
graceful fashion, is work wnieh requires
eertain amount of both skill and patience,
but a little practice soon makes perfect and
the art is well worth learning. I will now
give briefly, a few receipts for cakes which
are ia every way adopted to the festive oc-
easion, and which never fail, when properly
matie of course, to meet with full and
hearty a ppreeio;
L
PATTDM
These appetizing little cakes ,are very
easily made and are riot at all expensive.
The prepamtienowith which, they.are filled
will, if nicely mads and stored in a nool
place, keep good for several months, and it
IS always 0000venient thing to keep on hand;
it is prepared as fellows: T"rit eight ounces
of butter into an earthenware jar, with the
well -beaten yolks of eight fresli eggs, eight
mama of tinely.sifted white sugar, the
strainedjoice of two fresh lemons and the
grated rind of three. In grating the lemon
rind part of the pulp will adhere to the
grater, and this must be removed by rob-
bing the giater afterwards with a tiny bit
of . tale bread, letting •the crumbs, as far as
possible, he added to the other ingredients,
Set the jar in a saucepan of boiling water
and stir the contents constantly with a SIT101,
wooden spoon until the preparation becomes
perfeotly smooth and about the thickness of
good honey; then remove the jar from the
water anti set it in a cool place, When the
patties are to be batted, line outsome small,
sballow patty.tins with rielf pastry rolled
out, very thin, put a small quantity oilmen
paste into each and bike tor ten or twelve
minutes in a brisk oven. When quite cold,
dnee the top over very lightly with fine,
white sugar and serve, tastefully arranged,
on a lees: dish -paper.
elrELED WAFERS.
Beat six ounces of fresh butter to a cream
then mix it gradually with au equal weight
ef dried sifted flonr, three large, well -boat -
en 5gs, two onneea of fine, white sugar,
4 pinch of salt, a few drops of flavoring es -
mina and three or four tablespoonfulof
creme ; beat the mixture briskly until the
various ingredients are thoroughly blended,
then drop it, a tablespoonful at a time,
epee a buttered baking tin, leaving plenty
at space between for the cakes to swell, dur-
ing the process of cooking, which they will
do to a considerable extent. When cooked
sufficiently and lightly browned, remove
the cakes from the tin, end while still hot,
twist mill one very carefully to theform of
a cornucopia, or a horn, in a very gentle
manner so as not to crank the wafers. Re-
turn the cakes to the oven for a minute or
two to stiffen into shape ; then, when quite
cold, put first a, tiny spoonful of some deli-
cate preserve into each, then a spoonful of
whipped cream, and serve tastefully ars
ranged on a pretty, glass dish.
CHOCOLATE MACAROONS,
Put a quarter of a pound ot grated choco-
late, of the very best quality, into a basin
with an equal quantity of sifted, white sugar
and three ounces of almon ds which have been
blanched and pounded ; mix well, form iuto
a rather soft, light paste with beaten egg,
then drop the preparation, in tiny morsels
of equal size, 'upon a baking -tin which has
previously been covered with a sheet of
thickly -buttered paper, Bake in a moder-
ate oven fax about twenty n-neetes, then re-
move the tin from the ovett, ....ex the sheet
of paper over so that the cakes may rest
lightly on the table, and brush the paper
over with cold water in order to loosen the
cakes and eauee them to separate from it.
Serve cold and crisp, arranged according to
taste on a pretty dish -paper.
FRUIT:LEAVES.
Break three large, fresh eggs into a basin;
beat them welli then add four ounces each
of finely sifted flour and white sugar, a
seasoning of salt and -some flavoring essence,
and continue a brisk beating until all the
ingredients are thoroughly blended. Spread
the paste out in a half-inch layer on a but-
tered baking -tire bake in brisk oven for
about a quarter of in hour, then 'allow to
coon and stadp out in pretty -shaped leaves
with a sharp pastry cutter; cover the top
with a thin layer of green .kitg, dry in a
ceol, oven with the door open; then cool on
O sieve. Serve in a dircle or 'wreath on ' a
pretty glass dish, and .fill in the centre with
a mound of delicately whipped cream, the
latter lightly sprinkled with finely-chopnid,
candied cherries.
I wouldfain offer more receipts would:apace
allow of it, but all I can say is, place the
plumeake in the middle of the table, garnish
it, after it has been properly iced, with holly
leaves and berries, and arrange the other
cakes according to taste; supplement these
with some plates of rolled bread and butter
-a dainty which I dare say every house-
wife knows how to prepare -plenty of plain,
crisp crackers or 'biscuits," as we term
them, and a dish of fresh better made up
into pretty, feteeiful shapes, and -the Clueste
mas tea -table will present an appearance
welcome to all.
