Clam Chowder

100 clams.

1 sliced onion.

12 butter or other small crackers, that can be split.

12 tomatoes, peeled and chopped.

1 tablespoonful minced parsley and half the quantity of mixed thyme, summer savory and sweet marjoram.

A large pinch of mace and the same of cayenne pepper.

1 cup of milk - hot - for soaking the crackers, and butter for spreading them.

3 tablespoonfuls butter for chowder.

Salt.

Put a layer of clams in the bottom of a soup-pot, next one of sliced tomatoes and onion. Sprinkle with season ing, and drop bits of butter upon them. More clams, more tomato, etc., until all are in. Pour on the liquor-there should be at least three pints - cover, heat slowly for half an hour, then boil quite briskly for twenty minutes. Meanwhile, soak the split crackers - covered - in the boiling milk. When soft all through, butter thickly, and keep warm over boiling water until the soup is ready. Then line a hot tureen with them, and pour in the chowder. Pass sliced lemon with it.

Baked Pickerel

Select a couple of large, fresh fish; score the back-bones with a sharp knife, and lay them in a baking-pan. Pour a cupful of boiling water over them, cover, and bake slowly, basting with butter and water, at least six times. The fish should be tender, yet firm when done. Transfer them carefully to a hot-water dish. Have ready a cupful of rich, drawn butter; strain the gravy from the dripping-pan into it, with a little minced parsley. Heat almost to a boil and pour over the fish. There is no better way of cooking large pickerel than this.

Veal Scallop

Chop the remains of your fillet fine, and season with pepper and salt. Put a layer of dry crumbs in a buttered bake-dish; stick bits of butter over it; cover with the meat and wet this with gravy and warm milk. Repeat this order of strata until your dish is full, covering deep with crumbs. Fit a tin cover on the top and bake half an hour; remove the lid and brown nicely. Serve in the bake-dish.

Mashed Potatoes - Browned

Mash soft with milk and butter; whip up to a cream; season, and make into a four-sided pyramid upon a greased pie-dish. Brown in a good oven and slip to a warm dish. Pass with the fish.

Green Peas. Please see receipt given on Sunday of this week.

Strawberry Shortcake

Please see receipt given on Friday of Fourth Week in May. The strawberry season is so short that you can hardly give this popular dessert often enough to weary your family while the scarlet, flavorous beauties last.

Tea

Hot and strong, will be the better for a little cream bor rowed from the supply meant for your shortcake.
