Add a candied cherry or nut meat to the top of each glass as a garnish if desired. This will serve 8 ; divide or increase the recipe if fewer or more are to be served. This makes a very delicious company or party dessert. SNOW CUPS Fill 2 cups of milk in the upper part of a double boiler. IPut 1 quart of water in the lower part and start to boiling over. Put 1/2 cupful of sugar and 1 tablespoonful of salt with milk. While the milk is getting hot, dissolve 4 level tablespoonfuls of cornstarch with 1/2 cupful of milk. (Use small bowl or a cup.) When the milk in the boiler is steaming hot stir in the dissolved cornstarch and milk. Stir slowly till it thickens. Cover and cook for 20 minutes. While this is cooking, set out 8 small cups or gelatine molds; rinse them out with cold water and set them in a shallow pan. At the end of 20 minutes, take the double boiler from the fire. Then add 1 teaspoonful of vanilla, and 2 tablespoonfuls of grated cocoanut to the cooked milk. (The cocoanut may be omitted if you wish.) Stir all well mixed. SNOW CUPS Pour the mixture into the molds and set in a cool place. When ready to use, run a sharp knife around the edge of each cupful to loosen the pudding. Turn each cup (or mold) over a small plate or dish and the individual pudding will slip right out. The snow cups may be turned out into a sauce dish and eaten with cream, or served upon a small plate and garnished with a cherry or a little fruit syrup and eaten without cream. SANDWICHES CHEESE DREAMS Cut 8 slices of bread. (Large sized loaf.) Butter four slices. Grate cream cheese over the other 4 slices. (If it is not convenient to grate the cheese cut it into very thin slices and arrange it neatly on the bread.) Press the buttered slices, butter side down, onto the cheese-covered slices. Lay the four large sandwiches thus made on a pan and put in rather hot oven till brown. These may be toasted on an electric or any other kind of toaster provided the sandwiches can lie flat while toasting. If they are tilted the cheese will run out while cooking. Cut each sandwich in two diagonally and serve at once. These sandwiches will take the place of meat at luncheon or Sunday evening tea. When used at a picnic, they can be made, ready for the toasting, at home and then toasted in a wire toaster over an open fire. Very delicious. VALENTINE SANDWICHES With a sharp knife cut a loaf of bread that is more than one day old into thin slices. Boil 2 eggs for 15 minutes. (These may be boiling while bread is being cut.) Cool in running water, peel and divide yellows from whites. Chop whites fine. (May be put thru a grinder.) Mix yellows with 14 teaspoonful salt, Y^ teaspoonful mustard, 1 teaspoonful vegetable oil and 1 teaspoonful vinegar. Beat till creamy. With a heart-shaped cookie cutter cut the slices of bread into heart-shaped slices. Spread the center of each piece of bread with yellow mixture. Sprinkle chopped white around the edge and press firmly on bread. Dot center of the yellow part with 2 tiny bits of red pimento. Serve on napkin covered plate with sandwiches of plain bread and jam cut in oblong shape. 1S3 VALENTINE SANDWICHES
