Celery, Stewed

Wash the stalks clean, cut them into inchlong pieces, and soak an hour in cold water. Drain, and place the celery in a stewpan, with boiling water to cover and let it simmer slowly one-half hour or until tender, by which time the water should be so reduced as to measure not quite one-half cup. Add a cup of cream or milk, and when the liquid boils, thicken it to a cream with a little flour rubbed smooth in a tablespoon of butter. Add salt and pepper and serve.
