NORMANDY CAKE.--A very nice and
simple desert is made from plain
round s'delicate" or gold cake.
When the cake is cold cut off the top
and cut the whole Of the inside out to
within an inch and a half Of the crust.
Crunlble up part Of the cake yon have
taken out into "a dish and mix with il
thorou ghly some spoonfuls of raspber-
~ or grape jam and rich custard.
Fill the cut-out cake with this mixture
and pile over the top some nice
whipped cream.
WATERCREss SANDwICHEs.-W
wash some watercress, and then dry
it in cloth, pressing out every atom
| Of moisture, as far as possible. Have
stale tin loaf and some fresh butter,
and with sharp knife cut as many
thin slicos as will be required for two
! dozen sandwiches; then cut the cress
to small pieces, removing the stems;
! place it between each slice of bread
and butter, with slight sprinkle OF
salt, press down the slices hard, and
cut them sharply on board into
small squares, leaving on crust.
= CHICKEN SOUP FOR INvALIDs.--Take
all the bones of a chicken, crack them
and stew them down for many hours
with the dark meat of the CARCASS
using the breast as broil or stew, as
the invalid prefers. Flavor the broth
delicately with bit of thinly cut lemon
/ peel and some sweet herbs tied in a
piece of muslin. When cold this soup
will be delicate jelly, and it is some
times preferred by invalids in this
form. When soup is Wautedsthe jelly
has only TO be melted down. Ofcourse
all fat must be eliminated from, the
soup. %|@&*' q -t.'"$s*S = '~
SUGAR IcING.-To l ID. OF extra
refined sugar add OF. of fine white
starch, pound finely together, anc
then sift them through sgauze; Their
beat the whites Of three eggs to {
froth. The secret OF success is to beat
the eggs long enough, and always one
way; add the powdered sugar by de
grees, or it will spoil the froth Of the
eggs. When all the sugar is stirred
in, continue the whipping for half al
hour longer, adding more sugar if the
ice is too thin. Take little of thu
icing and lay it aside for ornamentine
afterward. When the cake comes ou'
OF the oven spread the sugar icing
smoothly over it with knife, and dr..
it at once in cool oven. For orna
menting the cake the icing may b
tinged any color preferred. For pink
use few drops of cochineal; for vel
low, a pinch of saffron, dissolved; TO
green, tho juice of some choppe,
Spinach. Whichever is chosen, let tn
coIoring be first mixed with little
colorless spirit, and then stirred int
the white icing till the tint is dec
enough. To ornament the cake wit
it, making cone Of stiff writing pa
per, and squeeze the colored icin
through it, 50 as to form leaves, bead
ing, or letters, as the case may be.
requires nicely and care to do it wit
success.
