Morgan Lamb The Year Round Now that a more adequate supply of fresh, lamb is within easy reach of every Canadian housewife throughout the entire year, the meal -planner will want to acquaint herself with the enany uses of lamb and the proper cuts to ask for. At her meat market she will find lamb cut in this way: the hind quarter is divided into two legs of lamb, the back into rib and loin cuts, and the front is either bon- ed and rolled whole or made into sev- eral cuts — shoulder breast, neck and shank. The leg is essentially a roast- ing cut, but it can he boiled or sliced into steaks and broiled.. The rib and loin cuts are used for either roasts or chops; they are delicate and de- liciously flavored. Lamb chops are most convenient for the house -wife who wishes to serve an easily pre- pared meal. - The front may be boned, rolled and roasted, or cut into small sec- tions and made into stews, casser- oles., shoulder roast and soup. Shoul- derchops are very economical cuts. The flank is used for stewing and braising and is especially useful for making broth. In addition, lamb yields a number of edible parts which, although inex- pensive, can be cooked into delicious combinations as a change from the regular meat cuts. Lamb brains make an excellent omelet, or they may be scrambled, creamed or fried. Lamb fries make a tasty fried dish and the heart, when braised stewed, or stuf- fed and baked, is a real delicacy. The kidney may be grilled, boiled or stewed. The liver is delicious when fried with bacon and jellied lamb tongue is ideal for slicing cold. The correct condiments for lamb are mint sauce with hot roast Iamb and currant jelly with cold roast slices. Caper sauce and spiced fruits add zest to boiled 'lamb. Oven Dinner An oven dinner is the answer • wen -you •have civics and social ser- ,vsigesessiLa chili duty all on your mind at -eine -time as well as a family to keep. healthy and well fed. Aside from. the time -saving„ mind - relieving assets of an oven dinner, there is a good deal to be said for haking,ineats and vegetables that or- - etinarily ,are .cooked. some Other .way,. •leedffg'•ro uy Xivei''1>ven Meal should be those that may bo cooked - at the same temperature and for approximately the same length of time. For instance, try this one on your family: Frankfurters a la York- shire, cabbage baked in milk and fruit compote. Frankfurters A La Yorkshire Five frankfurters, 2 cups flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 eggs, 1 cup milk, 2 tablespoons . melted butter, Pour boiling, water over frankfur- ters and let stand while making bat- ter. Mix and sift flour, baking powder and salt. Beat eggs slightly, add milk and stir into dry ingredients, Add melted butter and stir just enough to mix. Turn into a well greased baking dish. Cut each frank- furter in half crosswise and press into top of dough. Bake 30 minutes in a hot oven (400 degrees F.). Serve from baking dish with medium white sauce. Cabbage Baked in Milk There's no better food bargain than a head of cabbage. It's good for two meals at least and is equally edih'o cooked or raw. Ono and one-half pounds new cab- bage, 1 teaspoon salt, 34 teaspoon • pepper, 1 cup milk, 2 tablespoons butter. Shred cabbage and put into a well buttered casserole. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and add milk. Cover and bake 30 minutes in a hot oven (400 degrees F.). When ready to hot fat, serve, dot with butter. through Fruit Compote One pound apricots (dried), 1/2 cup seedless raisins, 1 oranges 1 table, spoon lemon juice, 1 cup water, 2-3 cup sugar. Use white seedless raisins If you can get them. Wash apricots and raisins and put in baking dish. Add grated rind and juice of orange and lemon juice. Add sugar and water„ cover and bake 30 minutes in a Isai oven (400 degrees F.). Serve warm with hard sauce. A long cooking period at,'4, lo* temperature will solve the problems of the housewife who must be out all afternoon. Meats are seared at a high temperature for 10 minutes, then the heat is reduced to 2'75 de, grees F. and the rest of the dinner put in to bake for three hours or longer at this temperature. Batters and doughs cannot be baked at the low temperature, but meat loaves, cheap cuts of meats and many veg- etables do very wen. by this method. The fruit compote suggested In. the short -time dinner might be cooked for a long time at a low tempera- ture, too. A TASTY DISH Meat and onions, salt and gravy, Macaroni, crumbs and cheese, Butter and a touch of pepper; Every housewife carries these. Blend them — plain directions fol- low. Serve them—it will be a treat, Quickly made and inexpensive; Watch your guests and family eat. Here is just the kind of a recipe ,you need for an emergency dish when guests arrive and catch you napping. A little left -over meat, a package of macaroni and a few other staples from the shelf and refrigera- tor — and there you are.

FAMILY FAVORITE Doughnuts have often been refer- red to as the way to a man's heart. Certain it is that few can resist the crusty sugared surface of a real doughnut. One important thing to remember in making doughnuts is to mix them as soft as the dough can be easily handled. Then, when rolling and cutting, take care not to work in an excess of flour. That is what oausee doughnuts to be dry and tough. If you own a deep fat thermo- meter, it should register 370 deg. F. before you drop in a doughnut. • If you have no thermometer, cut a cube of fresh bread 1 inch square and test it. It should turn golden brown in 60 seconds. Any kind of fat or oil may be used for deep fat frying. Lard is a little greasy, but a corabination of 2-3 lard and 1-3 suet is very acceptable. Vege- table oils also may be used, as they absorb practically no odor. Doughnuts should.be dropped into the fat, turned as soon as they rise to the surface, and then turned fre- quently until they are a golden brown.

LESSON VII.—NOV. 17 THE RETURN FROM CAPTIVITY Ezra 1:1-6; Psalm 126:1-6 FU MANCHU GOLDEN TEXT — The Lord hath done great things for us, Whereof we are glad. Psalm 126:3. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING TIME — The letter which is found in the twenty-ninth chapter of Jere- mlah was written in the early part of the reign of king Zedekiah One 586 B.C.) The first chapter of the book of Ezra refers to events which took place in the reign of Cyrus, king of Persia, B.C. 538. The date of Psalm 126 cannot be accurately determined but, of course, it was some time at ter the return from Babylon;611'6.; counry round abou in 'which the Jew- ish exiles were living. Now. At first sight a strange word with which to open a book. It implies the resumption �r continuance, not the commencement, of the narrative. "In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia." He Is called king of Persia, not because he was born a Persian prince, but because the Persian king- dom was the most important of his conquests. "That the word of Jeho- vah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished." The reference here, of course, is to Jeremiah's prophecy of the seventy years' captivity, which we have just been considering.

It should be noticed that the social leaders are mentioned first, the heads of the great farailies, an indication that the movement did not originate among the humbler class. "And all they that there were round about them strengthened their hands." The Jews who sought to re- turn were like a convalescent essay_ ing to walk and needing assistance.

R Is remarkable that the king, who was a believer in many gods, and who, on the monuments, speaks on himself as a worshipper of Nebo and •Merodach, should speak in such exalted terms of the God of the Jews. "And he hates charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah". This divine mission is de- scribed in Isa. 44:24-28; 45:1-13. "Whosoever there is among you of all his people, his God be with him." This is a familiar form of blessing comparable to our "good -by," whch is an abbrevated form of God be with you. "And let him go up to Jerusa- lem; which is in Judah, and build the house of Jehovah, the God of Israel (he Is- God), which is in Jerusalem." We Should carefully observe that the edict permitting the Jews to return to Jerusalem did not conipel them to return. There was no forced expul- sion of these people from Babylon. "And. whosoever is left, in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and With beasts, besides the freewill.of- tering for the house of God which is in Jerusalem." Dr. Ryle has para- phrased the Opening of this verse as follows: In any place where survivors of the Jewish captivity are to be found sojourning, there let the natives of the place, the non-Israelitish nel- t &hors, render them all assistance. • ,"Then rose up the heads of fathers' Story of Coats .Is Colorful Leather and Suede Ones Popular in The . • West which most frequently is helieellar; The belted oat is equally favorf/ end retains the essential non, ehal once by the character ef materisl., its color, and the detail& The belt assumes importance auri bright, trickily designed, and wide*, The sleeves are Usual Manetaler4 ed, but some models pull them into the armholes and expand them hi the lower half, The corsage 1:tartlet,' is often softly draped either by' means of the cut itself or by pleats, A particularly attractive gentle' molded model, shown by the Hemp. ton Coat Co., is cut like •a cam*, and buttoned all the way down the front front neck to hem, under a fly..

Many sports coats are interlined with wool, and some of them have extra linings that slip in and out along zipper fastenings. When the coat is part of a three-piece en. semble, the lining—or "back" as it is called this seasen—is likely to match the skirt and jacket under- neath, or the gayer of them, if they are contrasted. Bulky collars, preferably of fur, are comforting to the ears and kind- ly to the color tones of the nose on a brisk day in the bleachers.

About half Orttena are made of patterned tweeds and the others of fleece, Irish friezes, wool hopsacking weaves; Scotch monotone woolens in off -shades of high tones, camel's hair, and hairy wools—which represent one of the very newest trends — in plaids, checks, herringbones, crossbars, and solid surfaces. In the country they tone with autumn woods and in town remind one that where pavements are not, rich colors flame up out of the ground. Black and navy coats, too, are worn, as foils for • bright frocks. Leather and suede coats are high fashion on the west coast and are beginning to be felt as a trend in the east, where they are obtainable in smart shops, although they have not been conspicuously promoted. The eyes of most youngsters are fixed at this moment on the big games. These set a standard for gaiety, warmth and a casual silhou- ette. The swagger lends itself ad- mirably to the picture, and it is, of course, warmest when it is as long as the feock. Three-quarter and seven -eighth lengths are also ap- proved, however, and knee-length is the newest idea. A clever swagger model by Helen Cookman has a deep patch pocket set obliquely in the very front, which will act not only as a receptacle but also as a muff. Raglan sleeves prevail and are usually seamed down the should- er from the collar line to the wrist, Ideal For School A delighful dress for a school, college or young business girl has been chosen for today's pattern.
