dark and dreary and that snow would
fall within a day or two after. Well,
the big day was Just about as gloomy
and dismal a stretch as ever was
drowned In egg-nog, and the snow ar
rived Saturday. True, there was very
little of It, but it made the professor
good.

potatoes. Their price may soar, but it
loco not soar out of reach. If white po
tatoes are properly cooked, they can
always he made palatable. When they
are of good quality and large, they can
be baked satisfactorily. The best way
to do thin is to wash the skins thor
oughly and then rub them with butter
or a little oil, lightly, so that the skins
will not become crisp. Make an open
ing in two or three places in the skin
to allow the steam in the inside of the
potato to escape. Bake until mealy.

way: Chop them, when cold, and put
them into a buttered baking dish.
Sprinkle generously with salt and pep
per. and ovei tin m pour milk until it
shows around them. Sprinkle the tops
with little pieces of butter and hake
In a slow oven until they are creamy
and have absorbed most of the milk.
Creamed potatoes must be made from
fine, good colored potatoes. easiest
way is to heat rich milk, seasoned with
butter, pepper and salt. Cut the po
tatoes in squares and roll In flour. Add
to the milk, and cook until thick In a
double boiler.
Potato puffs can be made from left
over mashed potatoes. To two cupfuls
add the yolks of two eggs and three
tablespoonfuls of cream, with salt, pep
per and a tablespoonful of butter. Stir
over the fire until hot and light. Re
move and add lightly the beaten whites
of two eggs. Brown in buttered muf
fin tins or in a buttered baking dish.
