BOILING QUESTION, "!

It is safer to over-cook rather than

Six hours under-cook, should be the minimum for boll- ing, and another hour or two for steaming. In boiling, it is essen- tial to keep the water bolling all the time. As it evaporates, add fresh boiling (not cold) water to keep the level about half-way up the basin.

Sauce for the pudding is pre- ferably a good stift brandy but- ter. Stand in lukewarm water a basin containing a quarter-pound of fresh butter, and beat the butter to a cream. Sweeten with sugar, and add liqueur brandy to taste. Keep in a cool place until required. Incidentally, if you like to "light" the pudding, use a liqueur brandy poured from a heated spoon.

* DELICIOUS SWEETS No holiday table is complete without a gay array of jellies, blancmanges, trifles, and other colourful and Easty sweets. The well-known firm of Bird's offer you a brilliant assortment of such "goodles" in easily prepared and wholesome form...
