| "Gonsaberry Fool 4" and Lemon Squash
are, as a rule, plete mysteries to Americans.
| though they often hear OF them in stories of
English life In one of Kate Douglas Virgins
/ stories, the American girl wonders whether
lemon squash" is drink or pie. To clear
away the mystery for some, here is recipe for
| the fool:
| It is made from green gooseberries. Cut OF
| the tips and tails Of the berries and put them
| into jar with two tablespoonfuls of ale and
| little moist sugar. Set the jar in saucepan
| of boiling water, and let the berries boil till
they soft enough to mash. When this
stage is reached, beat them into a pulp and
work this through a colander. Sweeten
thoroughly and whip in, very gradually, equal
| quantities of milk and cream, allowing half
pint each to every pint of the gooseberry pulp.
Serve cold in glass dish in small glasses.
We do not properly appreciate the gooseberry
here-it makes delicious jelly. though ex-
perenced cooks say that the fruit should never
be squeezed through the jelly bag; that only
so much of it as will drip through should be
jelled.

through with considerable entertainment.
Mrs. Stowe paid second visit to England in
1856, but the trip was disappointment. and
most of her quondam friends in London utterly
ignored her existence, regarding her as obso-
ete and played out. Her melancholy and
mortifying experiences during the visit caused
| Macaulay to indite some weighty remarks in
his diary upon the subject Of 81 lions:
