CHOCOLATE PIE.
STUCK STOPPER?

(FfOm MRS. n. L.. H., AteTGnQfad.J
If you like chocolate pie, try this
recipe, and I think you'll agree with
me that it's "out of this world"
Chocolate Angel Pie: Beat egg
whites until foamy, add Il teaspoon
salt and IS teaspoon cream tartar.
Beat until mixture stands in soft
peaks. Add y cup sugar gradually,
beat until very stiff. Fold in u cup
chopped nuts and u teaspoon va
nilla. Turn into lightly creased g.
inch pie plate, make a nestlike
shell, building sides up over edge of
plate. Bake in slow oven 600 de-
grees F. for 55 minutes. Cool. Melt
l cake ~ pound sweet chocolate in
double boiler. Add 3 tablespoons
hot water; blend. Add l teaspoon
vanilla. Fold into l cup cream,
whipped. Turn into meringue shell.
Chill.
The meringue pastry" is crunchy
and the filling is feathery light, and
it makes delicious dessert-easy on
sugar, too.
Will some one please tell me how
to remove the glass stopper of a per-
fume bottle which has become
stuck. I would appreciate it very
much.

that he is ready for second grade

say, he can't read by sight. A few
days ago he returned home from
school reading well, but discov-

for when words were pointed out
to him, he failed to recognize them.
