Cut the crustless bread into rounds, toast it, and proceed as with the milk toast, making the milk half or twoâ€"thirds cream and cooking the toast in a small owl or deep dish, Tomato Toast.â€"Make as you would the milk toast, trimming off the crust and toasting the bread lightly. Do not utter it dry, but dip each slice for a second into boiling salted water, spread butter on quickly, and sprinkle salt on it after you lay it on the dish,. Make a good tomato sauce and pour this over the toast, lifting the slices with a fork, so as to let the sauce get in between them. Cover the «dish and let it stand a few minutes before serving. If you like you can set it in the oven and bake for ten minutesâ€"either way it is goodâ€"or you may pour over the toast the stewed tomatoes which you have freed from lumps and seasoned well, instead oip converting the strained tomato liquor into sauce. This is easier and quite. as efâ€" fective. Many Kinds of Toast. Baked Milk Toast.â€"Trim the crust from slices of read cut about half an inch thick and toast to a delicate rown.

Spread each slice lightly with butâ€" ter, sprinkle with salt, and arrange the slices in a deep dish. Pour over them enough milk to cover the toast, putting it on slowly, that it may soak into the toast. If you wish to expedite the work of preâ€" {mratlon, heat the milk ; but if you 1ave plenty of time, you can put it on cold. When the dish is full cover it and set it in the oven and leave it there for twenty minutes. At the end of the time the contents of the dish should be soft and steaming hot.

If you wish to muke a litâ€" tle richer dish, beat an egg light and put it with th emilk just before mixing this with the oysters and liquor. Giblet Toast.â€"Stew the giblets of chickens until tender, putting a stalk of celery and a quarter of an onion in the water.
