CREAMED STRING BEANS.

Cut the ends and string them. Put them in a covered saucepan with water, and cook till tender, drain, and remove any strings that may have adhered, then place again in the pan, add one cupful of cold milk, and salt to taste; thicken with flour mixed smoothly with soft butter to the consistency of thick cream; let them cook until the sauce is thoroughly done, add a dash of pepper, and serve in hot covered dish.
