This is the last lesson which you will receive in this first course of plain cooking, and as, lesson after lesson, you have been learning about the different ingredients you are to use in this, there is little for me to say excepting to help your judgment in the selection of des- serts. When you have a hearty, salt-meat dinner, use a cold, light, deli- cate pudding, like a boiled custard. When you have a fish dinner, which does not give the nourish- ment that meat does, a boiled, hearty pudding. A lemon corn-starch pudding can be used when you are short of milk, and a broken cold pudding can be made fresh again by arranging it in a clean dish and covering it with a meringue. I have wanted you to enjoy these lessons, so have added these pretty desserts for a treat, and also that, in the variety of dishes all through the course, you may be able to arrange " Bills of Fare " for different meals, if we can have the privilege of lessons next year for the girls who have been learning this year. I hope through the summer you will review receipts and lessons, and recall all you can of the letters, that you may go on still further another year. For what should a woman know better than how to conduct and care for a home ? QUESTIONS. Question. When you have a hearty dinner, what kind of a pudding or pie should you have f Answer.
