and is quite an addition. SARATOGA CHIPS Wash and pare the desired number of uniform-sized potatoes. Slice thinly (using slaw cutter) into a bowl of cold water. Let stand several hours, changing the water often or until it is quite clear. Drain and drop them into a kettle of boiling water; allow them to boil just one minute. Drain quickly and cover with cold water. Drain from cold water and dry between towels. Fry a few at a time in deep hot Cottolene, keeping them moving with the skimmer. Drain on soft brown paper and sprinkle with salt. BEETS IN DRAWN BUTTER Wash the small new beets and cook in boiling salted water until tender. Drain and cover with cold water. Rub off the skins and slice them or cut them in cubes. Reheat them in DRAWN BUTTER (SOUR SAUCE) Melt two tablespoons butter in a sauce-pan; add three tablespoons flour, stir to a smooth paste and add gradually, while stirring constantly, one cup boiling water. Boil two minutes, then add four tablespoons hot cream and four tablespoons vinegar (if vinegar is too acid use two tablespoons each of vinegar and water), season with salt and pepper. FIGS IN SHERRY JELLY 1 tablespoon granulated gelatine. 1/4 cup cold water. 3/4 cup boiling water. 1/2 cup best table Sherry wine. Juice of 1 small lemon. 1/2 dozen washed figs. Whipped Cream. 1/2 cup sugar. PROCESS: Soak gelatine in cold water, then dissolve it in boiling water; add sugar and stir occasionally until mixture begins to thicken, then add wine and lemon juice. Chill a pint mold in ice water (a fancy mold is attractive for this purpose). Separate the figs, slice them thinly and dip some of them in the jelly and use them for decorating the mold; then fill the mold with alternate layers of sliced figs and the mixture, allowing the jelly to "set" each time before adding the slices of figs. Chill thoroughly. Unmold jelly on serving dish and surround with whipped cream sweetened and flavored as desired. Use pastry bag and rose tube for this purpose. NUT AND RAISIN CAKE 1/3 cup Cottolene. 1 cup fine sugar. 3 eggs unbeaten. 1 cup pecan nut meats. 2/3 cup raisins. 2 cups pastry flour. 4 teaspoons baking powder. 3/4 cup milk. Grated rind of half an orange. 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. 1/4 teaspoon
