St. Remo Broth

3 lbs. of veal - lean and cut into strips; 2 onions, sliced and fried; 3 quarts of water; 1 tablespoonful of minced parsley; 1/2 cupful of raw rice; 2 tablespoonfuls of grated cheese; salt and pepper.

Fry the onions in dripping; put in the meat, and fry to a light brown. Put into the soup-pot with the water, and •boil slowly three hours, or until brought down to two quarts. The meat should be in rags. Strain; cool, skim, and season. Put back into the kettle with the rice, which must have soaked one hour in a little water. This water, also, must go into the soup. Simmer half an hour. Put the grated cheese into the tureen, and when the rice has boiled soft, pour upon the cheese, stir up and serve.

Beefsteak

Flatten with the broad side of a hatchet, and broil quickly upon a greased gridiron. Ten minutes should be enough if you like it rare. Lay upon a hot dish, turn another over it, having salted, buttered, and peppered it, and let it stand five minutes before sending to table.

Potatoes Au Naturel

Cook, without paring, in boiling salted water, until a fork will enter easily the largest. Pour off the water; set the pot, uncovered, upon the range for a moment, to dry off the moisture; peel rapidly, and dish.

Kidney-Beans

Shell; cook in boiling water, a little salt, half an hour, or until tender. Drain, salt, pepper, and butter, and serve in a deep dish.

Raw Tomatoes

Pare and slice. Put into a salad-dish, and pour over them a dressing made of two tablespoonfuls of oil rubbed with one teaspoonful of sugar, and half as much, each, of made mustard, salt, and pepper; then with five table-spoonfuls of vinegar, whipped in, a little at a time.

Fruit Dessert

Use your own discretion and consult your own convenience in devising a tasteful and acceptable dessert of fruits, such as should now be plenty and cheap. Late peaches, melons, banarjas, pears, and apples, are, some or all of them, within reach of housekeepers of moderate means. Arrange in dishes or baskets decorated with green sprays and flowers.

Coffee And Cake

Consult, also, your discretion and the weather in the question of hot or iced coffee.
