Lo: color a delicate pink, — use| strawberry, eurrant or cranberry ; or the grated peeling of an orange or lemon . moistened with the juice and squeezed through a thin cloth, will color a handsome yellow.

To one heaping tea-spoon Poland starch and just enough cold. water to dissolve it, add a little hot water and cook in a basin setin _ hot water till very thick (or cook in a crock; either will prevent its burning or becoming lumpy). Should the sugar be lumpy roll it. thoroughly, and stir in two and two-thirds cups while the starch is hot; flavor: to taste, and spread on while the cake is a little warm. This should be made the day before using, as it takes longer to — harden than when made with eggs, but it will never crumble in — : eutting. This is excellent. —Mrs. Ola Kellogg Wilcox. . Minnesota FRostine. i Beat whites of three eggs until frothy, not white, add one Sa He third pints powdered sugar gradually with one hand, beating — briskly with the other.

H., Copeenel) ( CRULLERS AND DOUGHNUTS. e p To cook these properly the fat should be of the right heat. When hot enough it will cease to bubble and be perfectly still; N try with a bit of the batter, and if the heat is right the dough will rise in a few seconds to the top and occasion a bubbling in the fat, the cake will swell, and the under side quickly become brown. Clarified drippings of roast meat are more wholesome io fry them in than lard. A good suet may be prepared as follows for those. who are sensible enough not to like greasy doughnuts or who He- __ braically oppose lard. Use only beef suet, which is quite as cheap, cleanly, and healthy. Buy from the raed markets, speaking before — _ hand, and securing nice, whole, clean leaves, which cut up in small pieces, put intoa dinner-pot, which will hold well about ten pounds. Crullers
