Take any kind of light whitefish; roll in flour or cornmeal; salt and pepper pieces of butter; grease your paper bag well with butter; put the fish in the bag and seal up; place bag on the grate in a hot oven; allow 10 minutes to pound.

ONIONS.
Prepare onions as for boiling; to 10 onions put in 1 cup water and small piece butter; pin bag and cook for 1 hour in medium oven. When these are done empty in basin with 1/2 cup hot cream or milk; let come to boil and serve.

SWEETS.
Pastry, cakes and sweets generally are wonderfully improved by being cooked in paper bags. The concentration of heat which is thus gained has the effect of making puff paste lighter and more regular in texture and cake mixtures "rise" in a manner that the open oven cannot produce.
