shortcake for dessert-but there

dation for it-either sponge cake or
biscuit dough, and yet you have
plenty Of. whipping cream, and un-

quart selected y tsp. salt
ripe strawberries " cup or more
" pint double powdered sugar
cream
Wash the berries we'll, drain, and
cap. Whip the cream until stiff add
the salt and sugar, and continue the
whipping until all are well blended
Fold the berries carefully without
crushing them into the cream until
each berry is coated. Serve at once.
If the berries stand after combining
with the cream, the Juice is likely to
be drawn from them and the cream
thinned.

Of the seven famous ones are always
fairly easy to pick out though there
are really several thousand stars in
their number.
"Then my Hyades stars are cele-

from the Hyades toward the north
