I MOUSEHOLP MEATS. Spaghetti and Beef. Take one - pound of chopped beef and same mount of chopped onions and fry brown. Add one cup of spaghetti broken in small pieces, then one can of tomatoes, a little red pep- per, and one teaspoonful salt. Cook half an hour. Scotch Meat Pie. Get good round steak, cut into pieces, and dredge with flour. Into a frying pan put a little butter, a piece of suet, and a small onion. When hot, put in steak and fry brown quickly on both sides. Then cover with water and cook slowly far two hours. Add more flour to gravy if not thick enough. Put into a baking dish, make a rich biscuit dough for the top and bake. Put j a cup in the center to keep the crust from falling into the vravy. Beefsteak and Onions. Take a thick steak (a flank steak is best), chop thoroughly, dredge with flour, spread with butter, pepper and j sail i-j lasUs, place iu a dripping j pan or roaster. Cover with water, cover closely and place in the oven for about an hour. Slice onions, and twenty minutes before meal time spread the onions over the eteak aud return to oven. If the our with which the meat has been dredged does not make the gravy ing the lid of the teakettle, putting a flat wire egg beater over the top and covering with a small pan. To have line in the kitchen well out of the way select the most con- venient place along the wall, put two screw eyes aboojt a foot and a half from ceiling or in the top- i window casing;, allow about a yard and a half of rope to hang il-^wn sides, tie rings in centre of each and fasten on nail or h-.-.k. The rope will say when let down ; to avoid this put weights near each end, or, better still, pin baby'* wooden stocking f.jrms to line with large safety pins. WIFE'S RELAT1\ES GO AHLAD In England HusSanrt'M People Take Second Place. In England, where the question of precedence is a vital one even at family parties, there is a defi- nite rule as to whose relatives shall g<j first, those of the wife or those of the husband. As a matter of fact, says the- Queen, precedence is generally accorded to the rela- tives of the wife. There are 'several reasons for this being so. The wife's mother L> taken in to dinner by law, the h -jst, a = he could not take his own mother or his own sister. Again, a wife could go in to dinner with her brother-in-law, but not with her own brother when other men guests were present. Concerning more distant rela- tions the case is different.
