GRILL-EUGENIE BLAIR

One large sweet potato cut in half, lengthwise. Take out enough of the potato to put in two large oysters (on one side), on the other side put three reed birds. Place two strips of bacon one on top of oysters and the other on top of the birds, season with salt and pepper, place the two halves together and bind with string. Place in oven and bake, when done serve with butter sauce.

BABY CONSTANCE says that since she is only allowed to eat one kind of salad, and as she "likes salad better than candy" here is the recipe:

Crisp lettuce leaves with slices of bananas and grated peanuts, covered with French dressing. "But," adds Constance, "I'd rather MAKE mud pies than salad-it's more fun."

SPANISH CREAM

One package Knox gelatine dissolved in a quart of milk. Yolks of three eggs and a tablespoonful of sugar whipped together. Put these on fire and bring to boiling point, remove and add the whites of the eggs and three tablespoonfuls of sugar, whipped stiffly. Stir through the rest of the mixture, adding vanilla to flavor it. Pour into a wet jelly mold and when cold turn out and cover with whipped cream.

From the way this dessert disappears whenever I make it, it would seem to be a "favorite" with the rest of the family, despite their salads and fra ppés.
