Mashed Squash.
Peel, quarter, and boil soft. Mash in a hot colander, pressing hard. Serve in a deep dish, with butter, pepper, and salt beaten in.
String-Beans.
Cut off the strings from both sides; cut into short lengths, and cook tender in boiling salt water. They require twice as much time as peas. Drain, season with pepper, salt, and butter. Set aside half for to-morrow’s salad.
