EGG PUDDING-SAUCE. Beat to a cream one cupful each of butter and sugar, the yolk of a raw egg, and a glass of wine ; beat the white of an .egg to a froth ; make the sauce as quickly as possible ; when the ingredients first named are beaten to a cream, stir in a gill of boiling water, and the white of the egg, and send the sauce to the table at once.

The same pudding is excellent if baked in a buttered dish until the dough is quite done, for about half an hour. BERRY SAUCE. Mash a cupful of ripe berries ; beat a cupful of sugar and half a cupful of buttA: to a cream ; beat the white of an eggEgg Pudding-Sauce to a stiff froth ; mix all these ingredients lightly together, and then serve the sauce at once ; it should not be made until it is wanted for the table.
