U. S ADOPTING
OLD CUSTOMS
English Afternoon Tea
Gaining in Popular-
ity in America
In America the English and Scot-
tish custom of serving afternoqn tea
with the table linen with scones and
crumpets is becoming increasingly
popular in many homes. On the con-
tinent this form of hospitality is a
custom that has grown so common
that it is made a daily affair with-
out much ceremony.
Here in America these teas used
to be teas only in name because ul*
was the fartherest thing from the
menu—ices sandwiches calces and
fruit drinks often being the foods
served.
ow the idea of hot breads with the
real serving of tea along with jam
and marmalade has hegun tr» ta.ce
root here from the “high tea” cus-
tom in England. These hot breads
are often muffins toast crumpets or
toasted scones and are served some-
times with hot or cold meats or
eggs. This kind of a menu is par-
ticularly attractive to both the
hostess and her guests for an in-
formal meal on Sundays in June
when friends drop in.
Muffins and crumpets are usually
baked on griddles in muffin rings.
However their baking involves so
much labor and skill when made al-
ter the old English recipes that "hey
s.re usually purchased from the bak-
er.
Since these are hard to find only
in large cities during certain
months below are given some of the
desirable recipes for tea dishes.

VEAL LOAF IS GOOD
SUMMER MEAT DISH
Here if a good idea for a summer
meat dish that if easily prepared
j and will always l.e. a favorite with
i the whole family.
No one need he told how delicious
j a really good veal loaf tastes but
| there are a few people who still do
not know wha! a treat veal loaf
made with mushrooms can be.
j Have the butcher grind 2 pounds
i of choice veal “from the round" to-
' gether with 1-2 pound of fresh pork
and 1-2 pound salt pork.
With the meat mix seasoning to
taste a dash of pepper and 1-2 tea-
spoon of salt is about right for this
quantity to suit the average taste.
Add 4 soda crackers that have been
j ground fine. 1 raw egg and a scant
cup of mushrooms that have been
cut into small pieces. Canned mush-
rooms may be used or the fresh
ones parboiled and sauted lightly in
butter before they are put in the
loaf.
Work the ingredients together
well pack them into a well oiled
baking dish and bake for about two
hours in a slow oven. This is equal-
ly good hot or cold. Grape or cur-
mnt jelly is especially nice served
with it.
