GOAL-SAVING COOKERY

(By Mrs. C. S. P«tf. in tho "Daily Mail.") I have told you about Susan before, have I not? Susan, who, like her naniesuko, iuis blue' eyes—and what is even more attractive, black eyelashes; and who dislikes using?,her brains—if indeed she has any brains to use. One of Susan's peculiarities is that she never says "1 halo cold dinners" or wet days or thunderstorms or whatever it may bi- that she does hate! Instead fiho look? pieton.s and pays, "Poor John, ho does so hate cold dinners." (John is one of those men who uncomplainingly would eat a cold whale if Susan provided it, wheveas Susan, for all her lovely fragility, is greedy.)-

So J. replied, without too much sympathy. "Then why give ilhiin cokl dinners'-" . . ■ •-.

".But the Coal Controller says—-." "Tho Coal Controller never said you were to give John cold dinners. Ito doesn't know you or John, and besides he is quite n 'kind man."

"It isn't very kind not to let me have enough coal," retorted Susan.

"Would it,"bo kind to let the war ilrnj 'on because we had not coal for our ship: or factories? Would it be kind to lei wounded men die in Italian hospitals foi lack of warmth—of hot food? It's eithei they or you." ■ ' ■

Susan's: blue eyes filled with tears. "Don't bo horrid," she implored. "And I do think you might try and help me." So as I journeyed homo in an omnibus 1 thought. I thought of ovens. They must not he heated more often than is lalwolulely necessary, but that after all is uo reason why we should not have cakus— for cakes are a nourishing, (satisfying, and a cheap food. Cukes may bo steamed or cooked in a frying-pim., Then I thought of hayboxes. Wonderful things arc luiyboxes, though in these days thev are not slull'ed with liny. And vacuum ilasks have their uses. A dinner of hot soup and two cold dishes with hot .coffee io follow is not to bo despised. One can do wonders, too, with one gas ring, an T a biscuit-tin oven, or a threetier 'steamer. 1 also thought of all the. nice t'ooiU which only need ten to sixty minutes' cooking. Also, "Why cook every day?" I asked myself dramatically. 'And suddenly realised th.i: I was speaking aloud and that (lie woman opposite me. was laugJiing. "Wo never do," she said. "Wo have tlireo cooking mornings a week." She wis a nice woman, and we talked about cooking mornings until a palisade of straphangers checked our flow of conversation That evening I sat down and wrote about "Cooking Mornings," "Haybox Cookc-Vy," "Calthrop Cakes" (steamed or cooked in a frying-pan), nnd "11 n-der-one-liour-to-cook Dishes," and becaino fio enthralled that I suddenly realised that it was past one o'clock. Alas— tho electric light!
