CHOCOLATE FRUIT PUDDING is made
by adding large cupful of fruit to an
ordinary chocolate blanc-mange. Rasp-
berries or peaches cut into very fine pieces
are best adapted for this. 1t is most
appetizing addition to pudding.

black raspberries is highly recommended;
one quart of currant juice is liberal al
lowance for ten pounds of berries; heat
the currant juice; add the sugar; when
it has reached the boiling point add the
fruit.

perfectly cold; just before use slice ba-
nanas very thin and heap in the custard
dish. Put the whites Of the eggs on the
top over all.

work at each end. The work may be fas-
tened with red, or blue, or with white.
The white gives little nicer look to the
towel than the colOred. Overcast the edges
just above the fringe.
AN agreeable dish for dessert is made
in this Way: Line deep rie-plate with a
rich crust, put layer of red raspberry
jam on this and cover with mixture
made by beating three eggs, one cup of
powdered sugar, tablespoonful of butter;
flavor with very little almond extract;
put this smoothly over the jam; bake till

two quarts of cold water; let the mixture
boil slowly for two hours. While it is
bOiIing put in a large jar three pounds of
sugar, one ounce OF cream Of tartar, ten
quarts of lukewarm water; one cup of
yeast ard the whites of three eggs. Pour
the hot liquid over this and let it stand
TOR day before bOttling; fasten the cOrks
securely with strings.
To MAKE AN APPETIZING BEEF STEW,
take out the bone and bind the pieces of
beef tightly, putting a lemon, pared and
cut IN two, and some herbs in before
binding. Place it in as small a stew-pan
or kettle as will allow CT it's beng covered
with water. Let it cook slowly and gently;
do not add any water unless absolutely
necessary. Slice large onion and fry it
brown, and add to the water also any
sliced vegetables you choose; or cook the
vegetables in kettle by themselves and
serve on platter with the beef. If you
do not add any water you will have very
rich gravy, and a portion of it may be re-
served for SOUP stock.
