A year's cookery

makes them hard and indigestible. Even when wanted well done, they should always be cooked so that red gravy will run from them when they are cut. Have ready a little maitre d’hotel butter (April 15th), about half a tea-spoonful for each kidney. Put the kidneys, the hollow side uppermost, on a very hot dish. Place the allotted portion of maitre d'hotel butter in each one, and serve quickly. A little toasted bacon will be found a great improvement to this dish. Sardines (January 12th) ; Porridge (January 25th). Luncheon. — Savoury Pice (June 17th) ; Baked Omelet (August 6th). Dinner. — Sole au Gratin (May 3rd) ; Roast Pork (March 4th) ; Apple Sauce (September 29tli) : Sage and Onion Stuffing (September 29th) ; Goose Pudding, if liked (September 29th) ; Potatoes (May 12th) ; Cabbage (June 4th) ; Compote of Peaches (April 11th); Cheese (June 8th). _ Things that must not be Forgotten. 1. As soon as the pork comes from the table, lift it upon a clean dish, and carefully preserve any gravy that may have run from it. 2. Turn the beef, and rub the pig’s cheek. 3. If any sole is left, it may be made into fish cakes for breakfast ; and these will serve instead of the kippered salmon. (See January 13th.) If the bones of the sole are not otherwise required, they may be stewed for an hour in as much water as will cover them ; and the stock thus made can be put with the bones of the whiting to make fish stock for the lobster soup.
