Such sweet dishes lessen the housemother's labors if she will but make them from fresh growths. We greet the spring acids with delight — our sys- tems crave them — and in early spring and summer we have rhubarb, pineapples, gooseberries, strawberries, cherries, cur- rants, and other delicious new growths. ANGEL FOOD PUDDING Use a cake of medium-size of angel food. Cut it through in an upper and under half. For a filling to spread upon these halves — as you spread strawberries on a shortcake — whip stiff one pint of cream. Into it stir half a cup of chopped and seeded raisins, half a cup of almonds and walnut meats mixed, half a cup of soft candies or marshmallows, or any candied fruits you may have in small bits. Flavor with wine, or brandy, or vanilla. Spread the cream and fruit over the lower half of the cake, lay on the upper half with the crust side down, spread this also with the cream and fruit, and serve.
