For a company luncheon or supper it is not necessary to serve +more than a hot dish, a salad, a biscuit or sandwich, a dessert and a +beverage. A first course and a relish may be provided if desired. + + +SUNDAY NIGHT SUPPERS + +The following menus were arranged especially as Sunday night suppers, +but they are equally suitable for midday luncheons or high teas. Many of +the dishes will be found desirable for afternoon teas or evening +spreads, and for use in tea and lunch rooms, and for automobile picnics. + + +PRELIMINARY PREPARATIONS + +Preparations for Sunday night suppers should be made on Saturday as far +as possible. For a luncheon it is a help to have some things done the +day before. For picnics and parties much must be done in advance. As an +aid to the hostess we have listed after each menu what these preliminary +preparations may be. + + +COOKING AT THE TABLE + +Many of the hot dishes may be prepared in a chafing dish or on an +electric grill. For these, much of the measuring may be done in advance, +the ingredients being put in small dishes on a tray. Coffee and tea may +be made at the table with electric appliances. + + +SANDWICHES AND BISCUITS + +Sandwiches may be made and wrapped first in dry cheesecloth, then in +damp cheesecloth, and placed in a covered crock some hours before a +meal. The hot biscuits may be replaced by rolls or bread and butter if +desired. + + +AUTOMOBILE PICNICS + +For picnics the beverages and hot dishes may be prepared at home and +carried in thermos food jars. The cold dishes may be packed in a small +portable refrigerator. The biscuits, sandwiches, cakes, and cookies +should be carefully wrapped in wax paper and packed in boxes. Ice creams +may be taken in the freezer. Hot sandwiches and bacon may be cooked over +the coals or on a portable oil or alcohol stove. In some menus it may be +desirable to omit or modify a few of the dishes, if food is to be +carried several miles. + + +MARKET ORDERS + +Supplies for use on Sunday evening should, of course, be purchased on +Saturday. To prevent any mistakes in ordering we have listed under each +menu the foodstuffs that will be required. Supplies that are usually +kept on hand are not listed, as + + Baking powder + Cayenne + Cornstarch + Bread flour + Pastry flour + Molasses + Mustard + Paprika + Pepper + Rock salt + Table salt + Granulated sugar + Soda + Spices, whole and ground + Table sauce + Vanilla + Vinegar + + + + +HOW TO BUY + +Some things are listed in the market orders that many people always have +on hand. This is for the benefit of those who do not prepare all their +meals and have little space for seldom used supplies. As far as feasible +the amounts of material in the market orders are such as could be +purchased. They may differ somewhat from the amounts called for in the +recipes, thus leaving some foodstuff on hand. In many cases it may be +more economical to purchase in larger quantities than those given. In +some cases smaller amounts are called for than can be purchased, as +one-half can, or one-fourth cup, in case supplies on hand are adequate +without purchasing more than required. Butter only is given in the +market orders. In cooking, margarine, lard, and other shortenings may be +used instead, if preferred. + + + + +MEASUREMENTS + +In all recipes measurements are made level. Measuring cups, divided into +thirds and quarters, are used, and tea and table measuring spoons. Cups +of dry material are filled to overflowing by putting the material into +the cup with a tablespoon, and are then leveled off with a knife. Tea +and tablespoons are filled heaping with dry material, and then leveled +off with a knife. Flour should be sifted once before measuring. + + + + +RECIPES AND MENUS + +The recipes are planned to serve eight persons. Most of them may be +divided for a smaller party. + +The average cost of the menus is fifty cents per person. Some of the +dishes may be made less expensive and rich by substituting milk for +cream, and by other substitutions and omissions that will suggest +themselves to the resourceful hostess. Many types of dishes are given. +Many variations are possible. + +In some menus a choice of dishes is suggested. A few recipes are given +that are not called for in the menus. These are usually to show how to +utilize in a different way something for which a recipe is given or to +use in another meal some foodstuff left from a recipe. + +These recipes and menus have all been tested at Miss Farmer's School of +Cookery. The author wishes to express here her appreciation of the +painstaking work of all the members of the staff of the school who have +assisted in making this little book possible. + +BOSTON, MASS., August, 1922. + + + + + * * * * * + + + + +MENU I + +Fruit Cup +Hot Ham Sandwich +Currant or Grape Jelly +Tomato Salad with Cheese Dressing +Cocoa Ice Cream +Fig Marguerites +Tea with Candied Mint Leaves + + + +PRELIMINARY PREPARATIONS + +Fruit cup ready to chill +Ham prepared for the sandwiches +Tomatoes peeled and placed in ice box +Salad dressing made +Fig marguerites made +Candied mint leaves prepared +Ice cream ready to freeze +Jelly made + + + +MARKET ORDER + +1 pound cooked ham +1 cream cheese (Roquefort flavor if desired) +1 quart milk +1 pint cream +1/2 pound butter +6 eggs +1/2 pound white grapes +3 or 4 oranges +2 lemons +1 pound (4 small) tomatoes +1 green pepper +1 head lettuce +1 bunch mint +1/2 can sliced pineapple +8 maraschino cherries +2 tablespoons mayonnaise dressing +1/2 pint raspberry or strawberry syrup +1/4 pound figs +2 ounces walnut meats +1 ounce tea +1/8 pound cocoa +1 loaf sandwich bread +1/2 pint grape or currant jelly or juice +Oil of spearmint +1 package small round crackers +1 ounce marshmallow cream +1 cup salad oil +Loaf sugar + + + +FRUIT CUP + +Remove skin and seeds from + 1/2 pound white grapes. If grapes are firm, boiling water may be +poured over them and allowed to stand 1 minute, when skins will come +off easily. + +Pare + 2 oranges, removing white part with the skin, and remove sections +free from membrane. + +Cut + 4 slices canned pineapple in dice. Mix the fruit with + 1/3 cup sugar + 1 tablespoon lemon juice + 1/2 cup orange juice + 1/2 cup syrup from canned pineapple, and + Few grains salt. Put into ice cream freezer, surround with ice and +salt, and stir occasionally until juice begins to freeze. Serve in +cocktail glasses, garnishing each glass with a + Maraschino cherry. + +[Illustration: FRUIT CUP] + + + +HOT HAM SANDWICHES + +Put + 1 pound cooked ham through food chopper. Add + 4 tablespoons creamed butter, + 1 teaspoon mustard and + 1 teaspoon paprika, and mix well. Cut +Bread in sixteen 1/4-inch slices, spread eight slices bread with +the ham mixture, cover with remaining bread and press slices firmly +together. Cut each sandwich in three strips. Beat + 2 eggs slightly and add + 2 cups milk. Dip sandwiches, one at a time, in this mixture, and sauté +in butter, cooking on one side until browned, and then turning and +browning the other side. Serve very hot. + +Other meat, or marmalade or jam may be used in sandwiches in place +of ham. + +[Illustration: HOT HAM SANDWICHES] + + + +GRAPE OR CURRANT JELLY + +Wash and pick over + Fruit. Crush in kettle one layer at a time and boil, stirring +frequently, until juice is extracted from pulp. Let drip through +double piece of cheesecloth, rinsed in cold water, over night or +till juice no longer drips. Do not squeeze. To + 1 tablespoon juice add + 1 tablespoon alcohol; stir and let stand 10 minutes. If +2/3 of the mixture is cloudy use + 2/3 cup sugar to each cup juice. If all is cloudy use equal parts +sugar and juice. (This is called the Pectin Test.) Be sure that juice +mixed with alcohol is discarded immediately. Measure remaining juice +into kettle, bring to boiling point, add required amount of sugar and +cook to 220 degrees F. or until mixture will show two distinct, firm +drops when dripped from side of spoon, or when small amount will +become firm when dropped on very cold saucer. Then skim and pour into +sterilized glasses. + + +_Second Extraction_ + +Return fruit pulp to kettle, add barely enough cold water to cover it, +bring slowly to boiling point, stirring to prevent burning on; cook +5 minutes, drain and finish as for first extraction, boiling 5 minutes +before adding the sugar. + + +_Third Extraction_ + +Proceed as for second extraction. Oftentimes the juice from second and +third extractions may be combined before being made up into jelly. By +making three extractions the amount of jelly obtainable from a given +amount of fruit may be almost doubled. + + + +TOMATO SALAD WITH CHEESE DRESSING + +Cut + 4 tomatoes in halves in such a way that they come apart in points. +Arrange each half in a nest of + Lettuce leaves. In the center of tomato pile + Cream cheese forced through a coarse strainer. In center of cheese +put a +Few bits of green pepper finely chopped.

Open the freezer occasionally, +scrape cream from sides and mix well, using a long-bladed knife. If frozen +in an ordinary freezer, it is not necessary to beat the cream. Put mixture +in can of ice cream freezer, surround with three parts ice and one +part salt. + +Let mixture stand 5 minutes, then turn crank slowly until mixture is +stiff. When frozen drain off ice water and repack, using four parts +ice and one part salt. + + + +FIG MARGUERITES + +Put in top of double boiler + 7/8 cup sugar and + 3 tablespoons water. Stir until sugar is dissolved as much as possible. +There will still be small sugar crystals remaining. Wash sugar crystals +from inside of double boiler with pastry brush dipped in cold water. Add + 1 egg white, unbeaten. Place over hot water and cook, beating constantly +with egg beater for 7 to 12 minutes or until mixture will hold its shape. + +Add + 1 tablespoon marshmallow cream and + 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, and fold over and over until again stiff +enough to hold its shape. Add + 1/3 cup (3) figs cut in small pieces and + 1/3 cup nut meats cut in small pieces. Pile on + +Small round crackers and bake at 375 degrees F. for 10 minutes or until +delicately brown. This rule will cover 3 dozen small crackers. Should +frosting be too soft to hold its shape after adding marshmallow cream, +it may be again placed over hot water, and folded gently over and over, +until it becomes slightly granular around the edges. Remove from hot +water, and continue folding over gently until of the desired stiffness. + + + +MARSHMALLOW FROSTING + +Use above mixture with or without figs and nuts as a cake filling or +frosting. It need not be baked. + + + +CANDIED MINT LEAVES + +Wipe + Fresh mint leaves, remove from stems and rub each leaf gently with +the finger dipped in + Egg white slightly beaten. Mix +3 tablespoons granulated sugar with +3 drops oil of spearmint, and sift over each side of the mint leaves. +Lay close together on a cake rack covered with wax paper and leave in a +warm but not a hot place until crisp and dry. Serve in + Tea with + Sliced lemon and + Loaf sugar. + + + +TEA + +Half fill a perforated tea spoon or tea ball with + Orange Pekoe, or other preferred tea.

For a company luncheon or supper it is not necessary to serve +more than a hot dish, a salad, a biscuit or sandwich, a dessert and a +beverage. A first course and a relish may be provided if desired.</p> + + +<h3 class=intro>SUNDAY NIGHT SUPPERS</h3> + +<p>The following menus were arranged especially as Sunday night suppers, +but they are equally suitable for midday luncheons or high teas. Many of +the dishes will be found desirable for afternoon teas or evening +spreads, and for use in tea and lunch rooms, and for automobile picnics.</p> + + +<h3 class=intro>PRELIMINARY PREPARATIONS</h3> + +<p>Preparations for Sunday night suppers should be made on Saturday as far +as possible. For a luncheon it is a help to have some things done the +day before. For picnics and parties much must be done in advance. As an +aid to the hostess we have listed after each menu what these preliminary +preparations may be.</p> + + +<h3 class=intro>COOKING AT THE TABLE</h3> + +<p>Many of the hot dishes may be prepared in a chafing dish or on an +electric grill. For these, much of the measuring may be done in advance, +the ingredients being put in small dishes on a tray. Coffee and tea may +be made at the table with electric appliances.</p> + + +<h3 class=intro>SANDWICHES AND BISCUITS</h3> + +<p>Sandwiches may be made and wrapped first in dry cheesecloth, then in +damp cheesecloth, and placed in a covered crock some hours before a +meal. The hot biscuits may be replaced by rolls or bread and butter if +desired.</p> + + +<h3 class=intro>AUTOMOBILE PICNICS</h3> + +<p>For picnics the beverages and hot dishes may be prepared at home and +carried in thermos food jars. The cold dishes may be packed in a small +portable refrigerator. The biscuits, sandwiches, cakes, and cookies +should be carefully wrapped in wax paper and packed in boxes. Ice creams +may be taken in the freezer. Hot sandwiches and bacon may be cooked over +the coals or on a portable oil or alcohol stove. In some menus it may be +desirable to omit or modify a few of the dishes, if food is to be +carried several miles.</p> + + +<h3 class=intro>MARKET ORDERS</h3> + +<p>Supplies for use on Sunday evening should, of course, be purchased on +Saturday. To prevent any mistakes in ordering we have listed under each +menu the foodstuffs that will be required. Supplies that are usually +kept on hand are not listed, as +<p> +<blockquote> + Baking powder<br> + Cayenne<br> + Cornstarch<br> + Bread flour<br> + Pastry flour<br> + Molasses<br> + Mustard<br> + Paprika<br> + Pepper<br> + Rock salt<br> + Table salt<br> + Granulated sugar<br> + Soda<br> + Spices, whole and ground<br> + Table sauce<br> + Vanilla<br> + Vinegar</blockquote> + + + + +<h3 class=intro>HOW TO BUY</h3> + +<p>Some things are listed in the market orders that many people always have +on hand. This is for the benefit of those who do not prepare all their +meals and have little space for seldom used supplies. As far as feasible +the amounts of material in the market orders are such as could be +purchased. They may differ somewhat from the amounts called for in the +recipes, thus leaving some foodstuff on hand. In many cases it may be +more economical to purchase in larger quantities than those given. In +some cases smaller amounts are called for than can be purchased, as +one-half can, or one-fourth cup, in case supplies on hand are adequate +without purchasing more than required. Butter only is given in the +market orders. In cooking, margarine, lard, and other shortenings may be +used instead, if preferred.</p> + + + + +<h3 class=intro>MEASUREMENTS</h3> + +<p>In all recipes measurements are made level. Measuring cups, divided into +thirds and quarters, are used, and tea and table measuring spoons. Cups +of dry material are filled to overflowing by putting the material into +the cup with a tablespoon, and are then leveled off with a knife. Tea +and tablespoons are filled heaping with dry material, and then leveled +off with a knife. Flour should be sifted once before measuring.</p> + + + + +<h3 class=intro>RECIPES AND MENUS</h3> + +<p>The recipes are planned to serve eight persons. Most of them may be +divided for a smaller party.</p> + +<p>The average cost of the menus is fifty cents per person. Some of the +dishes may be made less expensive and rich by substituting milk for +cream, and by other substitutions and omissions that will suggest +themselves to the resourceful hostess. Many types of dishes are given. +Many variations are possible.</p> + +<p>In some menus a choice of dishes is suggested. A few recipes are given +that are not called for in the menus. These are usually to show how to +utilize in a different way something for which a recipe is given or to +use in another meal some foodstuff left from a recipe.</p> + +<p>These recipes and menus have all been tested at Miss Farmer's School of +Cookery. The author wishes to express here her appreciation of the +painstaking work of all the members of the staff of the school who have +assisted in making this little book possible.</p> + +<center><i>BOSTON, MASS., August, 1922.</i></center> + + + + +<hr> + +<p> + +<hr> +<h2>MENU I</h2> + +<center>Fruit Cup<br> +Hot Ham Sandwich<br> +Currant or Grape Jelly<br> +Tomato Salad with Cheese Dressing<br> +Cocoa Ice Cream<br> +Fig Marguerites<br> +Tea with Candied Mint Leaves</center> +<hr><hr> + + +<h3 class=prep>PRELIMINARY PREPARATIONS</h3> + +<blockquote>Fruit cup ready to chill<br> +Ham prepared for the sandwiches<br> +Tomatoes peeled and placed in ice box<br> +Salad dressing made<br> +Fig marguerites made<br> +Candied mint leaves prepared<br> +Ice cream ready to freeze<br> +Jelly made</blockquote> + + + +<h3 class=prep>MARKET ORDER</h3> + +<p class=ingred1>1 pound cooked ham<br> +1 cream cheese (Roquefort flavor if desired)<br> +1 quart milk<br> +1 pint cream<br> +½ pound butter<br> +6 eggs<br> +½ pound white grapes<br> +3 or 4 oranges<br> +2 lemons<br> +1 pound (4 small) tomatoes<br> +1 green pepper<br> +1 head lettuce<br> +1 bunch mint<br> +½ can sliced pineapple<br> +8 maraschino cherries<br> +2 tablespoons mayonnaise dressing<br> +½ pint raspberry or strawberry syrup<br> +¼ pound figs<br> +2 ounces walnut meats<br> +1 ounce tea<br> +⅛ pound cocoa<br> +1 loaf sandwich bread<br> +½ pint grape or currant jelly or juice<br> +Oil of spearmint<br> +1 package small round crackers<br> +1 ounce marshmallow cream<br> +1 cup salad oil<br> +Loaf sugar</p> + + + +<hr class=menu> +<h3 class=prep>FRUIT CUP</h3> + +<p class=ingred>Remove skin and seeds from<br> + ½ pound white grapes.

Many of +the dishes will be found desirable for afternoon teas or evening +spreads, and for use in tea and lunch rooms, and for automobile picnics. + + +PRELIMINARY PREPARATIONS + +Preparations for Sunday night suppers should be made on Saturday as far +as possible. For a luncheon it is a help to have some things done the +day before. For picnics and parties much must be done in advance. As an +aid to the hostess we have listed after each menu what these preliminary +preparations may be. + + +COOKING AT THE TABLE + +Many of the hot dishes may be prepared in a chafing dish or on an +electric grill. For these, much of the measuring may be done in advance, +the ingredients being put in small dishes on a tray. Coffee and tea may +be made at the table with electric appliances. + + +SANDWICHES AND BISCUITS + +Sandwiches may be made and wrapped first in dry cheesecloth, then in +damp cheesecloth, and placed in a covered crock some hours before a +meal. The hot biscuits may be replaced by rolls or bread and butter if +desired. + + +AUTOMOBILE PICNICS + +For picnics the beverages and hot dishes may be prepared at home and +carried in thermos food jars. The cold dishes may be packed in a small +portable refrigerator. The biscuits, sandwiches, cakes, and cookies +should be carefully wrapped in wax paper and packed in boxes. Ice creams +may be taken in the freezer. Hot sandwiches and bacon may be cooked over +the coals or on a portable oil or alcohol stove. In some menus it may be +desirable to omit or modify a few of the dishes, if food is to be +carried several miles. + + +MARKET ORDERS + +Supplies for use on Sunday evening should, of course, be purchased on +Saturday. To prevent any mistakes in ordering we have listed under each +menu the foodstuffs that will be required. Supplies that are usually +kept on hand are not listed, as + + Baking powder + Cayenne + Cornstarch + Bread flour + Pastry flour + Molasses + Mustard + Paprika + Pepper + Rock salt + Table salt + Granulated sugar + Soda + Spices, whole and ground + Table sauce + Vanilla + Vinegar + + + + +HOW TO BUY + +Some things are listed in the market orders that many people always have +on hand. This is for the benefit of those who do not prepare all their +meals and have little space for seldom used supplies. As far as feasible +the amounts of material in the market orders are such as could be +purchased. They may differ somewhat from the amounts called for in the +recipes, thus leaving some foodstuff on hand. In many cases it may be +more economical to purchase in larger quantities than those given. In +some cases smaller amounts are called for than can be purchased, as +one-half can, or one-fourth cup, in case supplies on hand are adequate +without purchasing more than required. Butter only is given in the +market orders. In cooking, margarine, lard, and other shortenings may be +used instead, if preferred. + + + + +MEASUREMENTS + +In all recipes measurements are made level. Measuring cups, divided into +thirds and quarters, are used, and tea and table measuring spoons. Cups +of dry material are filled to overflowing by putting the material into +the cup with a tablespoon, and are then leveled off with a knife. Tea +and tablespoons are filled heaping with dry material, and then leveled +off with a knife. Flour should be sifted once before measuring. + + + + +RECIPES AND MENUS + +The recipes are planned to serve eight persons. Most of them may be +divided for a smaller party. + +The average cost of the menus is fifty cents per person. Some of the +dishes may be made less expensive and rich by substituting milk for +cream, and by other substitutions and omissions that will suggest +themselves to the resourceful hostess. Many types of dishes are given. +Many variations are possible. + +In some menus a choice of dishes is suggested. A few recipes are given +that are not called for in the menus. These are usually to show how to +utilize in a different way something for which a recipe is given or to +use in another meal some foodstuff left from a recipe. + +These recipes and menus have all been tested at Miss Farmer's School of +Cookery. The author wishes to express here her appreciation of the +painstaking work of all the members of the staff of the school who have +assisted in making this little book possible. + +BOSTON, MASS., August, 1922. + + + + + * * * * * + + + + +MENU I + +Fruit Cup +Hot Ham Sandwich +Currant or Grape Jelly +Tomato Salad with Cheese Dressing +Cocoa Ice Cream +Fig Marguerites +Tea with Candied Mint Leaves + + + +PRELIMINARY PREPARATIONS + +Fruit cup ready to chill +Ham prepared for the sandwiches +Tomatoes peeled and placed in ice box +Salad dressing made +Fig marguerites made +Candied mint leaves prepared +Ice cream ready to freeze +Jelly made + + + +MARKET ORDER + +1 pound cooked ham +1 cream cheese (Roquefort flavor if desired) +1 quart milk +1 pint cream +1/2 pound butter +6 eggs +1/2 pound white grapes +3 or 4 oranges +2 lemons +1 pound (4 small) tomatoes +1 green pepper +1 head lettuce +1 bunch mint +1/2 can sliced pineapple +8 maraschino cherries +2 tablespoons mayonnaise dressing +1/2 pint raspberry or strawberry syrup +1/4 pound figs +2 ounces walnut meats +1 ounce tea +1/8 pound cocoa +1 loaf sandwich bread +1/2 pint grape or currant jelly or juice +Oil of spearmint +1 package small round crackers +1 ounce marshmallow cream +1 cup salad oil +Loaf sugar + + + +FRUIT CUP + +Remove skin and seeds from + 1/2 pound white grapes.

Mix the fruit with + 1/3 cup sugar + 1 tablespoon lemon juice + 1/2 cup orange juice + 1/2 cup syrup from canned pineapple, and + Few grains salt. Put into ice cream freezer, surround with ice and +salt, and stir occasionally until juice begins to freeze.

Add + 4 tablespoons creamed butter, + 1 teaspoon mustard and + 1 teaspoon paprika, and mix well. Cut +Bread in sixteen 1/4-inch slices, spread eight slices bread with +the ham mixture, cover with remaining bread and press slices firmly +together. Cut each sandwich in three strips. Beat + 2 eggs slightly and add + 2 cups milk. Dip sandwiches, one at a time, in this mixture, and sauté +in butter, cooking on one side until browned, and then turning and +browning the other side. Serve very hot. + +Other meat, or marmalade or jam may be used in sandwiches in place +of ham. + +[Illustration: HOT HAM SANDWICHES] + + + +GRAPE OR CURRANT JELLY + +Wash and pick over + Fruit. Crush in kettle one layer at a time and boil, stirring +frequently, until juice is extracted from pulp. Let drip through +double piece of cheesecloth, rinsed in cold water, over night or +till juice no longer drips. Do not squeeze. To + 1 tablespoon juice add + 1 tablespoon alcohol; stir and let stand 10 minutes. If +2/3 of the mixture is cloudy use + 2/3 cup sugar to each cup juice. If all is cloudy use equal parts +sugar and juice. (This is called the Pectin Test.) Be sure that juice +mixed with alcohol is discarded immediately. Measure remaining juice +into kettle, bring to boiling point, add required amount of sugar and +cook to 220 degrees F. or until mixture will show two distinct, firm +drops when dripped from side of spoon, or when small amount will +become firm when dropped on very cold saucer. Then skim and pour into +sterilized glasses. + + +_Second Extraction_ + +Return fruit pulp to kettle, add barely enough cold water to cover it, +bring slowly to boiling point, stirring to prevent burning on; cook +5 minutes, drain and finish as for first extraction, boiling 5 minutes +before adding the sugar. + + +_Third Extraction_ + +Proceed as for second extraction. Oftentimes the juice from second and +third extractions may be combined before being made up into jelly. By +making three extractions the amount of jelly obtainable from a given +amount of fruit may be almost doubled. + + + +TOMATO SALAD WITH CHEESE DRESSING + +Cut + 4 tomatoes in halves in such a way that they come apart in points. +Arrange each half in a nest of + Lettuce leaves.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. + + https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06 + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part +of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is +identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single +digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For +example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at: + + https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234 + +or filename 24689 would be found at: + https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689 + +An alternative method of locating eBooks: + https://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL + + diff --git a/old/10582-8.zip b/old/10582-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..2c94986 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10582-8.zip diff --git a/old/10582-h.zip b/old/10582-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..6b13a4a --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10582-h.zip diff --git a/old/10582-h/10582-h.htm b/old/10582-h/10582-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2369f45 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10582-h/10582-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,3592 @@ +<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> +<html> + <head> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content= + "text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> + <title> + The Project Gutenberg eBook of FOR LUNCHEON AND SUPPER GUESTS, by ALICE BRADLEY. + </title> + <style type="text/css"> + <!-- + * { font-family: Times;} + body { margin-left: 2em; + margin right: 2em; } + + P { margin-top: .75em; + text-indent: 0em; + text-align: justify; + margin-bottom: .75em; } + + P.ingred { margin-top: .75em; + margin-bottom: .75em; + text-indent: -2em; + text-align: left; + margin-left: 2em; } + + P.ingred1 { margin-top: 0em; + margin-bottom: 0em; + text-align: left; + text-indent: 0em; + margin-left: 2em; } + P.ingred2 { text-align: left; + text-indent: 0em; + margin-left: 2em; + margin-top: 0em; + margin-bottom: 0em;} + + blockquote { margin-left: 4em; + margin-right: 4em; } + blockquote.small { font-size: 90%; + margin-left: 4em; + margin-right: 4em; } + H1,H2,H3,H4,H5,H6 { text-align: center; } + H3.intro { margin-top: 3em; } + H3.prep { margin-top: 3em; text-align: left} + H4.prep { text-align: left; + margin-left: 1em; } + H4.caption { margin-top: .75em; + margin-bottom: 2em; } + + HR { width: 65%; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; } + hr.menu { width: 45%; margin-top } + + + --> + </style> + </head> +<body> + + +<pre> + +Project Gutenberg's For Luncheon and Supper Guests, by Alice Bradley + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

For a company luncheon or supper it is not necessary to serve +more than a hot dish, a salad, a biscuit or sandwich, a dessert and a +beverage. A first course and a relish may be provided if desired.</p> + + +<h3 class=intro>SUNDAY NIGHT SUPPERS</h3> + +<p>The following menus were arranged especially as Sunday night suppers, +but they are equally suitable for midday luncheons or high teas. Many of +the dishes will be found desirable for afternoon teas or evening +spreads, and for use in tea and lunch rooms, and for automobile picnics.</p> + + +<h3 class=intro>PRELIMINARY PREPARATIONS</h3> + +<p>Preparations for Sunday night suppers should be made on Saturday as far +as possible. For a luncheon it is a help to have some things done the +day before. For picnics and parties much must be done in advance. As an +aid to the hostess we have listed after each menu what these preliminary +preparations may be.</p> + + +<h3 class=intro>COOKING AT THE TABLE</h3> + +<p>Many of the hot dishes may be prepared in a chafing dish or on an +electric grill. For these, much of the measuring may be done in advance, +the ingredients being put in small dishes on a tray. Coffee and tea may +be made at the table with electric appliances.</p> + + +<h3 class=intro>SANDWICHES AND BISCUITS</h3> + +<p>Sandwiches may be made and wrapped first in dry cheesecloth, then in +damp cheesecloth, and placed in a covered crock some hours before a +meal. The hot biscuits may be replaced by rolls or bread and butter if +desired.</p> + + +<h3 class=intro>AUTOMOBILE PICNICS</h3> + +<p>For picnics the beverages and hot dishes may be prepared at home and +carried in thermos food jars. The cold dishes may be packed in a small +portable refrigerator. The biscuits, sandwiches, cakes, and cookies +should be carefully wrapped in wax paper and packed in boxes. Ice creams +may be taken in the freezer. Hot sandwiches and bacon may be cooked over +the coals or on a portable oil or alcohol stove. In some menus it may be +desirable to omit or modify a few of the dishes, if food is to be +carried several miles.</p> + + +<h3 class=intro>MARKET ORDERS</h3> + +<p>Supplies for use on Sunday evening should, of course, be purchased on +Saturday. To prevent any mistakes in ordering we have listed under each +menu the foodstuffs that will be required. Supplies that are usually +kept on hand are not listed, as +<p> +<blockquote> + Baking powder<br> + Cayenne<br> + Cornstarch<br> + Bread flour<br> + Pastry flour<br> + Molasses<br> + Mustard<br> + Paprika<br> + Pepper<br> + Rock salt<br> + Table salt<br> + Granulated sugar<br> + Soda<br> + Spices, whole and ground<br> + Table sauce<br> + Vanilla<br> + Vinegar</blockquote> + + + + +<h3 class=intro>HOW TO BUY</h3> + +<p>Some things are listed in the market orders that many people always have +on hand. This is for the benefit of those who do not prepare all their +meals and have little space for seldom used supplies. As far as feasible +the amounts of material in the market orders are such as could be +purchased. They may differ somewhat from the amounts called for in the +recipes, thus leaving some foodstuff on hand. In many cases it may be +more economical to purchase in larger quantities than those given. In +some cases smaller amounts are called for than can be purchased, as +one-half can, or one-fourth cup, in case supplies on hand are adequate +without purchasing more than required. Butter only is given in the +market orders. In cooking, margarine, lard, and other shortenings may be +used instead, if preferred.</p> + + + + +<h3 class=intro>MEASUREMENTS</h3> + +<p>In all recipes measurements are made level. Measuring cups, divided into +thirds and quarters, are used, and tea and table measuring spoons. Cups +of dry material are filled to overflowing by putting the material into +the cup with a tablespoon, and are then leveled off with a knife. Tea +and tablespoons are filled heaping with dry material, and then leveled +off with a knife. Flour should be sifted once before measuring.</p> + + + + +<h3 class=intro>RECIPES AND MENUS</h3> + +<p>The recipes are planned to serve eight persons. Most of them may be +divided for a smaller party.</p> + +<p>The average cost of the menus is fifty cents per person. Some of the +dishes may be made less expensive and rich by substituting milk for +cream, and by other substitutions and omissions that will suggest +themselves to the resourceful hostess. Many types of dishes are given. +Many variations are possible.</p> + +<p>In some menus a choice of dishes is suggested. A few recipes are given +that are not called for in the menus. These are usually to show how to +utilize in a different way something for which a recipe is given or to +use in another meal some foodstuff left from a recipe.</p> + +<p>These recipes and menus have all been tested at Miss Farmer's School of +Cookery. The author wishes to express here her appreciation of the +painstaking work of all the members of the staff of the school who have +assisted in making this little book possible.</p> + +<center><i>BOSTON, MASS., August, 1922.</i></center> + + + + +<hr> + +<p> + +<hr> +<h2>MENU I</h2> + +<center>Fruit Cup<br> +Hot Ham Sandwich<br> +Currant or Grape Jelly<br> +Tomato Salad with Cheese Dressing<br> +Cocoa Ice Cream<br> +Fig Marguerites<br> +Tea with Candied Mint Leaves</center> +<hr><hr> + + +<h3 class=prep>PRELIMINARY PREPARATIONS</h3> + +<blockquote>Fruit cup ready to chill<br> +Ham prepared for the sandwiches<br> +Tomatoes peeled and placed in ice box<br> +Salad dressing made<br> +Fig marguerites made<br> +Candied mint leaves prepared<br> +Ice cream ready to freeze<br> +Jelly made</blockquote> + + + +<h3 class=prep>MARKET ORDER</h3> + +<p class=ingred1>1 pound cooked ham<br> +1 cream cheese (Roquefort flavor if desired)<br> +1 quart milk<br> +1 pint cream<br> +½ pound butter<br> +6 eggs<br> +½ pound white grapes<br> +3 or 4 oranges<br> +2 lemons<br> +1 pound (4 small) tomatoes<br> +1 green pepper<br> +1 head lettuce<br> +1 bunch mint<br> +½ can sliced pineapple<br> +8 maraschino cherries<br> +2 tablespoons mayonnaise dressing<br> +½ pint raspberry or strawberry syrup<br> +¼ pound figs<br> +2 ounces walnut meats<br> +1 ounce tea<br> +⅛ pound cocoa<br> +1 loaf sandwich bread<br> +½ pint grape or currant jelly or juice<br> +Oil of spearmint<br> +1 package small round crackers<br> +1 ounce marshmallow cream<br> +1 cup salad oil<br> +Loaf sugar</p> + + + +<hr class=menu> +<h3 class=prep>FRUIT CUP</h3> + +<p class=ingred>Remove skin and seeds from<br> + ½ pound white grapes.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. + + https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06 + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part +of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is +identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single +digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For +example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at: + + https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234 + +or filename 24689 would be found at: + https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689 + +An alternative method of locating eBooks: + https://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL + + + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + diff --git a/old/10582-h/images/012.png b/old/10582-h/images/012.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..fe94c91 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10582-h/images/012.png diff --git a/old/10582-h/images/013.png b/old/10582-h/images/013.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..5ac2692 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10582-h/images/013.png diff --git a/old/10582-h/images/015.png b/old/10582-h/images/015.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..c9319cc --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10582-h/images/015.png diff --git a/old/10582-h/images/021.png b/old/10582-h/images/021.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..6102986 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10582-h/images/021.png diff --git a/old/10582-h/images/023.png b/old/10582-h/images/023.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..96b4135 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10582-h/images/023.png diff --git a/old/10582-h/images/028.png b/old/10582-h/images/028.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..6bccb53 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10582-h/images/028.png diff --git a/old/10582-h/images/032.png b/old/10582-h/images/032.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..0baa812 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10582-h/images/032.png diff --git a/old/10582-h/images/038.png b/old/10582-h/images/038.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..6628102 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10582-h/images/038.png diff --git a/old/10582-h/images/039.png b/old/10582-h/images/039.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..934c785 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10582-h/images/039.png diff --git a/old/10582-h/images/042.png b/old/10582-h/images/042.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..2b3a4cb --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10582-h/images/042.png diff --git a/old/10582-h/images/053.png b/old/10582-h/images/053.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..967155e --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10582-h/images/053.png diff --git a/old/10582-h/images/060.png b/old/10582-h/images/060.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..36a757d --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10582-h/images/060.png diff --git a/old/10582-h/images/065.png b/old/10582-h/images/065.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..2541c51 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10582-h/images/065.png diff --git a/old/10582-h/images/068.png b/old/10582-h/images/068.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..442f0ce --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10582-h/images/068.png diff --git a/old/10582-h/images/078.png b/old/10582-h/images/078.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..e6d1f3a --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10582-h/images/078.png diff --git a/old/10582-h/images/083.png b/old/10582-h/images/083.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..97c5cab --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10582-h/images/083.png diff --git a/old/10582-h/images/089.png b/old/10582-h/images/089.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..92d11f0 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10582-h/images/089.png diff --git a/old/10582-h/images/093.png b/old/10582-h/images/093.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..625b35c --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10582-h/images/093.png diff --git a/old/10582-h/images/096.png b/old/10582-h/images/096.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..ad61ac9 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10582-h/images/096.png diff --git a/old/10582.txt b/old/10582.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f77c390 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10582.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3212 @@ +Project Gutenberg's For Luncheon and Supper Guests, by Alice Bradley + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

For a company luncheon or supper it is not necessary to serve +more than a hot dish, a salad, a biscuit or sandwich, a dessert and a +beverage. A first course and a relish may be provided if desired. + + +SUNDAY NIGHT SUPPERS + +The following menus were arranged especially as Sunday night suppers, +but they are equally suitable for midday luncheons or high teas. Many of +the dishes will be found desirable for afternoon teas or evening +spreads, and for use in tea and lunch rooms, and for automobile picnics. + + +PRELIMINARY PREPARATIONS + +Preparations for Sunday night suppers should be made on Saturday as far +as possible. For a luncheon it is a help to have some things done the +day before. For picnics and parties much must be done in advance. As an +aid to the hostess we have listed after each menu what these preliminary +preparations may be. + + +COOKING AT THE TABLE + +Many of the hot dishes may be prepared in a chafing dish or on an +electric grill. For these, much of the measuring may be done in advance, +the ingredients being put in small dishes on a tray. Coffee and tea may +be made at the table with electric appliances. + + +SANDWICHES AND BISCUITS + +Sandwiches may be made and wrapped first in dry cheesecloth, then in +damp cheesecloth, and placed in a covered crock some hours before a +meal. The hot biscuits may be replaced by rolls or bread and butter if +desired. + + +AUTOMOBILE PICNICS + +For picnics the beverages and hot dishes may be prepared at home and +carried in thermos food jars. The cold dishes may be packed in a small +portable refrigerator. The biscuits, sandwiches, cakes, and cookies +should be carefully wrapped in wax paper and packed in boxes. Ice creams +may be taken in the freezer. Hot sandwiches and bacon may be cooked over +the coals or on a portable oil or alcohol stove. In some menus it may be +desirable to omit or modify a few of the dishes, if food is to be +carried several miles. + + +MARKET ORDERS + +Supplies for use on Sunday evening should, of course, be purchased on +Saturday. To prevent any mistakes in ordering we have listed under each +menu the foodstuffs that will be required. Supplies that are usually +kept on hand are not listed, as + + Baking powder + Cayenne + Cornstarch + Bread flour + Pastry flour + Molasses + Mustard + Paprika + Pepper + Rock salt + Table salt + Granulated sugar + Soda + Spices, whole and ground + Table sauce + Vanilla + Vinegar + + + + +HOW TO BUY + +Some things are listed in the market orders that many people always have +on hand. This is for the benefit of those who do not prepare all their +meals and have little space for seldom used supplies. As far as feasible +the amounts of material in the market orders are such as could be +purchased. They may differ somewhat from the amounts called for in the +recipes, thus leaving some foodstuff on hand. In many cases it may be +more economical to purchase in larger quantities than those given. In +some cases smaller amounts are called for than can be purchased, as +one-half can, or one-fourth cup, in case supplies on hand are adequate +without purchasing more than required. Butter only is given in the +market orders. In cooking, margarine, lard, and other shortenings may be +used instead, if preferred. + + + + +MEASUREMENTS + +In all recipes measurements are made level. Measuring cups, divided into +thirds and quarters, are used, and tea and table measuring spoons. Cups +of dry material are filled to overflowing by putting the material into +the cup with a tablespoon, and are then leveled off with a knife. Tea +and tablespoons are filled heaping with dry material, and then leveled +off with a knife. Flour should be sifted once before measuring. + + + + +RECIPES AND MENUS + +The recipes are planned to serve eight persons. Most of them may be +divided for a smaller party. + +The average cost of the menus is fifty cents per person. Some of the +dishes may be made less expensive and rich by substituting milk for +cream, and by other substitutions and omissions that will suggest +themselves to the resourceful hostess. Many types of dishes are given. +Many variations are possible. + +In some menus a choice of dishes is suggested. A few recipes are given +that are not called for in the menus. These are usually to show how to +utilize in a different way something for which a recipe is given or to +use in another meal some foodstuff left from a recipe. + +These recipes and menus have all been tested at Miss Farmer's School of +Cookery. The author wishes to express here her appreciation of the +painstaking work of all the members of the staff of the school who have +assisted in making this little book possible. + +BOSTON, MASS., August, 1922. + + + + + * * * * * + + + + +MENU I + +Fruit Cup +Hot Ham Sandwich +Currant or Grape Jelly +Tomato Salad with Cheese Dressing +Cocoa Ice Cream +Fig Marguerites +Tea with Candied Mint Leaves + + + +PRELIMINARY PREPARATIONS + +Fruit cup ready to chill +Ham prepared for the sandwiches +Tomatoes peeled and placed in ice box +Salad dressing made +Fig marguerites made +Candied mint leaves prepared +Ice cream ready to freeze +Jelly made + + + +MARKET ORDER + +1 pound cooked ham +1 cream cheese (Roquefort flavor if desired) +1 quart milk +1 pint cream +1/2 pound butter +6 eggs +1/2 pound white grapes +3 or 4 oranges +2 lemons +1 pound (4 small) tomatoes +1 green pepper +1 head lettuce +1 bunch mint +1/2 can sliced pineapple +8 maraschino cherries +2 tablespoons mayonnaise dressing +1/2 pint raspberry or strawberry syrup +1/4 pound figs +2 ounces walnut meats +1 ounce tea +1/8 pound cocoa +1 loaf sandwich bread +1/2 pint grape or currant jelly or juice +Oil of spearmint +1 package small round crackers +1 ounce marshmallow cream +1 cup salad oil +Loaf sugar + + + +FRUIT CUP + +Remove skin and seeds from + 1/2 pound white grapes.

Add + 4 tablespoons creamed butter, + 1 teaspoon mustard and + 1 teaspoon paprika, and mix well. Cut +Bread in sixteen 1/4-inch slices, spread eight slices bread with +the ham mixture, cover with remaining bread and press slices firmly +together. Cut each sandwich in three strips. Beat + 2 eggs slightly and add + 2 cups milk. Dip sandwiches, one at a time, in this mixture, and saute +in butter, cooking on one side until browned, and then turning and +browning the other side. Serve very hot. + +Other meat, or marmalade or jam may be used in sandwiches in place +of ham. + +[Illustration: HOT HAM SANDWICHES] + + + +GRAPE OR CURRANT JELLY + +Wash and pick over + Fruit. Crush in kettle one layer at a time and boil, stirring +frequently, until juice is extracted from pulp. Let drip through +double piece of cheesecloth, rinsed in cold water, over night or +till juice no longer drips. Do not squeeze.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. + + https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06 + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part +of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is +identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single +digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For +example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at: + + https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234 + +or filename 24689 would be found at: + https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689 + +An alternative method of locating eBooks: + https://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL + + diff --git a/old/10582.zip b/old/10582.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..eaff105 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/10582.zip |
