A Delicious Custard.

The recipe for this delicate dessert has been handed down in my family for many generations: Into each in- dividual custard cup put the yol6 of one egg; add one heaping teaspoonful of sugar, two gratings of nutmeg and five tablespoonful of sweet milk. Incorporate thoroughly, and set the cups in pan of hot water. Bake iD a moderate oven until firm. When cool, cover with meringue, using the whites of the eggs for this pur- pose, and allow one tablespoonful of powdered sugar to the white of each egg. Through the very tip-top of each snowy mound drop teaspoon ful of orange marmalade.- The May Delineator.
