CAST MONOTONY OUT OF MEALS It’s almost automatic, isn’t it, to think of dinner in terms of meat, po tatoes and some other vegetable? The only thing is to decide which kind of meat and what other vegetable so that meals become almost routine. Why not break,the monotony of such meals and as a start, think of fish instead of meat? There is such a wide variety of fish available to the Canadian housewife at all times that it can be served frequently and not grow tire some. And then there are so many ways of serving it, such delicious gar nishes to accompany it that a whole new field of culinary exploration is opened up. As the next step in get ting away from routine, serve a salad or cole slaw instead of a cooked veg etable. That is a particularly approp riate step at this time of the year. As for desserts, there is no reason to be in a rut there, but if you are, the re cipe below will please you. With this suggested menu, say goodbye to bore dom and start a new dinner table era. There is nothing elaborate or difficult to prepare — it’s just a change for the better, Menu Finnah Haddie Delmonico Cucumber and Tomato Salad Crimson Crystal Dessert Sponge Cak'e Coffee or Tea Finnan Haddie Delmonico 1% pounds finnan haddie 3 tablespoons butter 1% tablespoons flour teaspoon salt Dash of Cayenne Dash of nutmeg 3 egg yolks, slightly beaten 6 slices toast lVs cups light cream or top milk I Wash finnan haddie, drain, cover with cold water, and cook slowly Un- ! til tender.

SOUFFLES THAT PONT FLOP There is one member of a luncheon party which should never sit down. It’s vetjy embarrassing to the hostess when her guests are seated at the table, to have the main dish — the' souffle — not only sit down but fait flat on its face. But as wise cooks know, this need never happen. So i£ in the past yo-u have hesitated to make, a souffle because it might fall, try this, delicious recipe and banish that bogey forever. The addition of quick-cook ing tapioca to the souffle will keep it high and handsome’ all the way. This salmon souffle is ideal for at summer luncheon. It is easy to make and has a delightful flavour. A light salad and a simple dessert are suggest ed to complete the luncheon. Salmon Souffle 4% tbsps. quick-cooking tapioca , Vz teaspoon salt 2/2 teaspoon minced onion 1 cup milk 1 cup water and 2 bouillon cubes, 1% cups minced salmon 3 egg yolks, beaten until thick and lemon-colored 3 egg whites, stiffly beaten Combine quick-cooking Tapioca* Salt, onion, milk and stock in top ofc double boiler.
