Boil the milk with the bntter in it and
a spoonful of the sugar to prevent burn-
ing. Mix the iiour and sugar to^^ether
dry, stir them into the boiling milk quickly
with a wire egg beater, like making mush
and take from the lire as soon as it begins
to thicken. It will finish cooking in the
pies. Line 2 deep custard pie plates with
crust rolled very thin and pour the
whole 3 pints 01 mixture into them — if
you have people enough to eat so much,
if not, of course the receipt can be
divided. The butter is the only flavoring
needed in this mixture and must be good.
Bake m a slack oven until the filling be-
gins to rise in the middle. It will rise
and flow over the edge if baked too long.
Cost of mixture here 17 cents and crusts
of rich paste 10 cents for two. Cut each
pie in eight — they are deep enough for
that. Can be made richer yet with cream.

There is music on the water to-night —
serenading party in boats— fifteen young
ladies have come to the Trulirural House
to board for a week or two — glee club or
seminary class or something of the sort
from Basswood City, and they are down
at our boat landing singing. Proprietor
of the Trulirural l.as instigated th^m to
that — knows ttiat our side cannot muster
even a parlor quartette. If Mr. Farewell
would put his hired girls in a boat and
tell them to sing their loudest that party
would soon be put to fl2:ht. I suppose that
would not do— It would make what they
call a scandal, and, instead, the manager,
the housekeeper and 'bus driver are hang-
mg the trees full of Chinese lanterns, and
the boat boy with the big hat, is getting
out some fire-works.
"For it makes the heart so gay.
To hear the sweet birds singing
On their summer hol-i-day."
_ It does put new life into a fellow who
IS weary of his ill success when duck
hunting to see the game come circling
around at last.

The glory of the custard pie, is in the
depth or thickness of it. The distance
should be great between the glossy surface
