ceet, and I'm goin' to write hit down
right here, fur the benefit of the young
girls. First, you make a short rich
crust and bake it; then you take cup
of water to2 of sugar and boil it till it
is thick, or, in other words, till it is sir
ruP. You let it cool and beat the yilks
of six eggs an the whites of three.
Then stir in the strip and thickeu with
tablespoonful of flour. Pour into
shallow pans and bake. Flavor with
lemon. When you set them out to cool,
spread some very light sour lilly over
the top. Beat the Writes of the three
eggs to stiff froth, then put in enough
white sugar, = srseeten, place over the
pies and bake to light brown, then
they are ready for the table, and l as
sure you you have pie that amply re-
wards you for all trouble.

He says its worth comia' across the
ocean to see. guess they haint ne use
to get personal about such things, for,
