Mix the cornstarch in a little water and pour into the pineapple juice and stir to keep it from scorching. Let it cook for 10 minutes, then pour it in over the whites of the eggs and beat till it is very light. After it is beaten enough add the sliced pineapple cut up in small squares and some walnuts chopped fine. Cream Puffs Put half pint of water and 4 level tablespoonfuls of butter into a sauce pan, sift and measure a half pint of flour when the water is boiling and the butter thoroughly melted turn in hastily the flour and stir rapidly over the fire. In a moment you will have perfectly smooth soft dough ; take from the fire and stand it aside until partly cool. Break 4 eggs into the batter, beat thoroughly and stand it aside in a cool place for an hour. Then drop by tablespoonfuls into greased shallow pans and bake in a moderate oven for 36 to 40 minutes. The batter must be dropped far enough apart to leave room for swelling. When the puffs are done fill with sweetened whipped cream or custard. — Miss PEARL HINDS, Nautilus Club.
