So use quick frozen poultry to save time of plucking and cleaning. Chicken pie tastes good in the country air, especially with cheese biscuit circles en top. Use a quick frozen fricassee chicken (or a fresh killed fowl, if you prefer) for this meal in a dish. CHICKEN FIE WITH CHEESE CIRCLES One fowl (4 pounds) cut In pieces, 4 cups boiling water, 1 teaspoon salt, 4 tablespoons chicken fat, 4 tablespoons flour, 8 cups chicken broth, pepper. Place chicken in kettle, add boiling water to half cover, add salt, simmer for 2 to 3 hours or until tender.

Remove from heat and when cool remove chicken from broth and separate meat from bones. Skim off chicken fat and place in refrigerator to chill. Mix chicken fat and flour to a smooth paste in a saucepan. Place over heat, add broth gradually, stirring constantly, and cook until thickened. Season and add pieces of chicken.

Pour into baking dish. Place cheese circles on top of hot chicken mixture; bake in a very hot oven (450 for 20 minutes. Makes 6 servings. CHEESE CIRCLES One and one half cups sifted flour, 3 teaspoons powder, tea snoon salt. 3 tablespoons shorten ing, or chicken fat cud milk.

TOMORROWS MENU BREAKFAST: Strawberries with cream, dry cereal, bacon rolls, coffee, milk. LUNCHEON: Hot clear tomato bouillc cottage cheese and raw vegetable salad, whole wheat sandwiches, iced chocolate, milk. DINNER: Chicken pie, cheese circles, green peas (quick frozen), garden salad, raspberry short cake, coffee, milk. cup grated American cheese. Sift together flour, phosphate baking powder and salt; cut in chicken fat or shortening with two knives or pastry blender.

Add milk, stirring until a soft, but not sticky dough Is formed. Place dough on floured board, pat out to tt inch thickness and cut into rings with doughnut cutter, or form into 2 inch rounds. Sprin kle with grated cheese. Bake as directed. For fried chicken, try a garnish of fruit brushed with melted but ter and broiled until lightly browned.

Use well drained spoon viz cubes of canned pineapple and canned apricot halves alter nated on wooden skewers inter spersed with halved maraschino cherries for added color. Place three cubes of DmeacDle and two apricot halves on each skewer. Brush with melted but ter and broil on each tide until lightly browned. Serve at once while piping hot This is an easy trick and gives the summer meal added tuup.
