Sprigs of parsley or delicate celery-tops may be used as garnish, and it is a very elegant-looking as well as savory dish.

The legs and wings can be left on and trussed outside, if liked, making it as much as possible in the original shape; but it is no better, and much more trouble.
JELLIED CHICKEN.
Tenderness is no object here, the most ancient dweller in the barnyard answering equally well, and even better than "broilers." Draw carefully, and if the fowl is old, wash it in water in which a spoonful of soda has been dissolved, rinsing in cold.

Put on in cold water, and season with a tablespoonful of salt and a half teaspoonful of pepper.

Boil till the meat slips easily from the bones, reducing the broth to about a quart.

Strain, and when cold, take off the fat.
