Miss Maurice. SALMON LOAF.

A mold of salmon that is very good hot or cold is an appetizing variation from the ordinary canned salmon as a lunch or supper dish. Take out the contents of a pound can of salmon, remove all particles of bone and skin ; beat two eggs lightly ; add to the fish with one cupful of stale Dread crumbs ; season with salt and pepper, one tablespoonful of lemon juice and one sprig of finely chopped parsley; pack in a well buttered mold and steam two hours.

Mrs H. A. McCraney, Sacramento. SAUCE FOR SALMON LOAF.

Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, add two tablespoonfuls of flour and pour on slowly one pint of hot water. Add one

teaspoonful of salt, half a saltspoon of pepper, two scant table- spoonfuls of butter, beaten yolks of two eggs and a teaspoonful of lemon juice. It is better to acid a little of the hot mixture to the eggs before combining the whole, to blend perfectly.

Mrs. Adolf Petsch. FRICASSEE OF SHRIMPS.

Put a large spoonful of lard or butter in a saucepan, add a heaping spoonful of sifted flour; stir until a golden brown color, then add a little finely chopped onion, stirring constantly until the onion is thoroughly wilted. Put in a quart of shelled raw shrimps ; continue to stir until the shrimps become of a pale pink color ; then add three cloves, salt, red and black pep- per to taste ; also a little Worcestershire sauce, and half a can of stewed tomatos which have been passed through a sieve.
