THE SUNDAY DINNER PROBLEM.

When the duty of preparing the Sunday dinner falls on the housewife it, is hound to mean a bit of a rush; for if there is one day in the week that really is full, it is Sunday, especially in a house where there arc children. If it is to be a hot dinner the meat must, unfortunately, be cooked in tlio morning, but this need not really occupy her for more than a few minutes if she will only depart from the fetish of oven roast meat. There is no reason why the whole family should not spend Sunday morning up to dinnertime together, without the harassed housewife looking anxious about that precious dinner. There arc two solutions to the probJmn —if you have a haybox cooker use it, for the joint, and have a steamed pudding cooking over a slow’ fire or turned down gas jet. if you have no haybox, do the next best thing, and pot roast the joint. Lightly roast tlio .joint the L lay hefine if you ilo not want to keep the oven on all (ho morning, and then on Sunday put it in the pot with a few vegetables, some dripping, ami a little gravy, and place the whole tiling in the oven. It will cook very slowlv ■mil be more juicy and tender than when roasted in the ordinary way. For a bird use a fish kettle.
