m liquor, a beaten egg and
some melted butter, the quantity varying with the amount of clams used;
stir in the chopped clams. Wash clean as many shells as the mixture will
fill, wipe and butter them, fill heaping full with the mixture,
smoothing with a spoon. Place in rows in a baking pan and bake until
well browned. Send to the table hot.

~SCALLOPED SHRIMPS~--Make a sauce with a level tablespoon of cornstarch,
a rounding tablespoon of butter and one cup of milk cooked together five
minutes. Season with one-quarter level teaspoon of salt and a few grains
of cayenne. Add one can of shrimps after removing all bits of shell and
mincing them fine. Use, if preferred, the same amount of fresh shrimps.
Put into buttered scallop shells, scatter fine bread crumbs over the
top of each, and dot with bits of butter. Set in a quick oven to brown
the crumbs, and serve hot in the shells.

~STEWED CODFISH~--Take a piece of boiled cod, remove the skin and bones
and pick into flakes. Put these in a stewpan, with a little butter,

shapes, dip them into egg beaten with cream, then in sifted breadcrumbs
and let them stand for half an hour or so to dry; then fry them a

place on a napkin on a dish and serve. The remainder of the chicken
stock may be used for making consomme or soup.

brown sauce; add three onions cut in halves.

~BEEF HASH CAKES~--Chop cold corned beef fine and add a little more than
the same measure of cold boiled potatoes, chopped less fine than the
beef. Season with onion juice, make into small cakes, and brown in
butter or beef drippings; serve each cake on a slice of buttered toast
moistened slightly.

~BEEF RAGOUT~--Another way to serve the remnants of cold meat is to melt
one rounding tablespoon of butter in a pan and let it brown lightly. Add
two rounding tablespoons of flour and stir until smooth and browned; add
one cup of strained tomato and one cup of stock or strained gravy, or
part gravy and part water. When this sauce is thickened add two cups of
