It has been observed that "Change is the sauce that sharpens appetite."

Fish Croquettes To 1½ cups cold flaked halibut or salmon add 1 cup thick white sauce. Season with salt and pepper, and spread on a plate to cool. Shape, roll in crumbs, egg and crumbs, and fry in deep fat. Drain, arrange on hot dish for serving, and garnish with parsley. If salmon is used, add lemon juice and finely chopped parsley. Mrs. Golden.

Steamed Salmon (Very good for luncheon.) One large can of salmon, 2 eggs beaten lightly, 2 tablespoons melted butter, ½ cup bread crumbs, little lemon juice, pepper and salt. Pour off the juice, pick out bones and chop fine. Beat crumbs in eggs and butter. Steam one hour in round tins. Two 1-pound baking powder tins will answer the purpose.

Sauce for Salmon Make milk gravy of 1 cup milk, add liquid from salmon; lastly add 1 egg beaten lightly. Do not let boil after adding egg. This recipe will serve ten persons and served with mashed potatoes and the sauce makes a very nice luncheon. Deborah Hirschberg.
