Mother’s Cook Book.

The grand essentials of happiness are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. ' Ail one’s self is music, if one touches the notes rightly and in tune.—Ruskin. Meatless Meals. As we are asked to observe Tuesday as a meatless day, which all patriotic women will be glad to do, it behooves us to look over our cook books and keep enough recipes for meatless dishes on file to escape monotony. Lima Bean Salad. x Over a pint of cold cooked Lima beans pour three or four tablespoonfuls of olive oil, two tablespoonfuls of cider vinegar, one teaspoonful of grated onion, half a teaspoonful of salt and half a teaspoonful of paprika. Toss and mix; serve with chopped pickle. Peanut butter added to baked beans instead of pork is a change which is liked by peanut lovers.

Onions and Cheese. A most satisfying and wholesome dish Is onions and cheese. Cook the onions until tender, then place a layer In a baking dish, then a layer of good rich white sauce and a thick, layer of grated cheese, cover with another layer of onions and white sauce and finish the top with buttered crumbs. Bake until well heated and the crumbs well browned. Hard cooked eggs may be cut up and added to onions in place of the cheese if desired. Nut Roast. Take a cupful of finely chopped nut meats, add two cupfuls of bread crumbs, a minced onion, a tablespoonful of chopped parsley, a teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce, two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, salt and pepper, two beaten eggs and enough milk to moisten. Form into a long roll, place In a greased baking dish and cover with waxed paper. Bake forty minutes in a hot oven, basting two br three times with hot water and butter. Fresh or canned mushrooms may be used for the sauce. Celery Soup. Cook the outside stalks of celery till tender with enough water to cover', add a small onion, a slice of carrot and a bay leaf. When tender rub through a sieve. Blend two tablespoonfuls each of butter and flour and add to a pint of hot milk, cook with the celery pulp, season and serve hot with croutons.
