When fruit tart begins to boil out at side it is usually ready. *Macaroni, a l'Italienne-14 pound macaroni, 2 tablespoons flour, 2 tablespoons Crisco, salt and paprika to taste, 1/2 cup brown stock, 1½ cup tomato pulp, and 1/2 cup grated May 14 cheese. Make sauce of Crisco, flour seasonings, stock, and tomato pulp.

Tomato pulp should be quite thick from long cooking. Add macaroni, cooked until tender, in boiling salted water, rinsed and drained. Reheat in double boiler, adding cheese meanwhile. Serve when cheese is melted and whole is very hot.
