Market days had always seen her father's table crowded with farmers, teamlisters, &c.. for the reg ular shillirg dinner and "Polly' light, deft hand at a pudding or a roait. a "pasty" or a "lip was well known and appreciated. More ever. she could cut and trim, salt and hang or pack a piece oi meat with the best and her "clotted cream" and butter were famous. So away went eighteen-year.old Polly to a small, snug little farm house of gray stone. with a queer stack of chimnlleys-al odd wing it one side and the most pictur esque of latticed windows, which looked forth on a tidy farn-a barnyard well stocked with tiwl some good acres of grain and an orchard that yielded well. At the back of the house was a rIuning stream and a bit of delightful old garden. Little time is wasted over sentiment among there people, al though they never under any cir cunstalnces which have comle to my knowledge lose all fielinlg of r, miance-the women do not fade as they grow older like so many of our farmer's wives, nor do the men sink into the (luerulous and in healthy condition which I verily believe is the result of the miserable cookery existing in nearly all the homes of our working classes. And how, it will be asked, do the English farming people live a Taking the family I cite as an ex ample their general daily menlu wa.s as follows: Breakfast (in sum mller at about half-past five and in winter shortly before seven) con sisted of bacon, cold or hot, some tiies eggs nicely fried or cooked up with cold potatoes, after a re ceipt I wili presently give. Tea or milk for the young people-of whom in ten years there were seven at II farm, the Y- home and beer for the master of the house ; on wash days Mistress Poily had her glass a-s well, and 1 the womanl who was hired to as sist her was allowed the same. The potato-egg dish was made as t follows: The eggs, beaten with a light, swift hand, had added to them a pinch ofsalt, pepper and a bit of chopped parsley and tiile of ( oion. The cold potatoes were then lightly whipped up with twvo or thrniee tablespoonfuls of 1 milk ; the whole mixed together and fried in lard or butter a nice brown.
