MADE INTO DINNER DESSERT

Apple Sauce Prepared In German Fashion a Richer Dish Than American Prototype. . Prepared in the German way, apple sauce becomes a dinner dessert rather than, as with us, a breakfast or luncheon relish. One would not care for the Tdutonlc version as a perpetual thing to the exclusion of our own excellent Yankee dish, but once in a while it is extremely tasty, especially when no other idea for the family dessert presents itself. After preparing the sauce as usual, sprinkle with cinnamon*, decorate with halves of blanched almonds and serve with cream. For another dessert, simple and yet good, make a quart of soft custard and stiffen it while yet warm with a halfbox of gelatin dissolved in a Httle cold water. Smooth and cool it at the same time by slow stirring. Now beat stiff the whites of the eggs used, fold them in, flavor according to preference and set them in a mold. Serve with cream or with preserves around it in the form of a ring. A dainty which may be substituted for the meat course with' benefit to the digestion on dog days is fish cream. Pick the cold cooked fish free of skin and bones and pass it through the meat chopper. To two cups of this add one cup of/ milk which has been poured while boiling hot over one cup of bread crumbs and allowed to a tend 15 minutes, Season with half a teaspoonful of minced chives of parsley. Add two tablespoonfuls of melted butter and ’two beaten eggs. Pour the mixture into a greased mold and steam for 30 minutes. Serve on a hot platter. Or the family might be tempted with a- delicate chicken loaf made from leftover portions from a cold cooked fowl. Chop the meat, and to a pint of it add a cup of thick white sauce, seasoning to taste. Line a , mold .with boiled rice, and, while the rice is still hot, put in over the top and bake in a pan of water half an hour. Unmold and serve with cream or tomato sauce or surround with chicken gravy thickened.
