Cook one cup of well-washed rice in a
quart of milk until tender. Remove from
the fire and while still hot stir into it the
yolks of two or three eggs previously
beaten. These need no cooking as the hot
rice does that sufficiently. Add also sugar
to suit the taste, pinch of salt little
lemon juice and a teaspoonful Of the grated
yellow rind. Beat lightly enough to mix,
and turn into glass or china serving dish.
Cover with meringue made by whipping
the whites of the eggs to stiff froth and
adding Il tablespoonful of powdered sugar
to each egg. Flavor with lemon or va
nilla. spread roughly over the rice and
brown lightly in the oven. which should
be quite cool. If the dish is set on an as

In such life everything conferred in the
monarchs making love and war; and the
monarch was the perfection Of grace and

The fountains of the upper terrace consti-

central avenue to the boiling fountains of
the lake-which constitutes his august
stemach-are the statues. flower beds and
clipped hedges which represent his lace

In the details of this landscape gardening
