Cut off all fat, and chop together very fine ; dissolve one box gelatine, pour into it one coffee cup of the liquor meat was boiled in ; add to the chopped meat. Mix thoroughly and put in press. Mrs. Belle M. Jewett. POTTED MEATS. An excellent substitute for the expensive potted meat fill- ings can be made from the odds and ends of cold meat minced and seasoned with Worcestershire Sauce. Another appetiz- ing sandwich is made from cold sausage crushed fine and spread on the buttered side of a biscuit.

Mold in loaf and bake two hours, basting as soon as there is sufficient liquid in the pan to do so. Florence Collins Porter. SANDWICHES. For winter sandwiches use chicken, tongue, ham, beef, mut- ton, duck, celery, caviar. For summer, cherries, pineapple and plums blend. Fruits should be chopped. The sandwiches may be cut in different shapes with an ordinary biscuit cutter, any style of crescent, which may be halved ; the plain rounds may be halved or quartered. Plain finger shapes are always popular, and good sized squares are probably best of all for hungry picnickers. CHEESE AND NUT SANDWICH. A can of soft, rich cheese that you can mash walnuts in.
