Cheap Cake Filling. — Two cups sugar, butter size of egg, half cup milk and water mixed; cook until it ropes; add small spoon cocoa or chocolate before taking from fire. Spread be- tween cakes. — Mrs. W. H. Wilson. Fruit Filling. — Dissolve three cups sugar in one of water without stirring until it hardens when dropped in water. Beat whites three eggs stiff, then pour over them the boiling syrup, beating constantly. Take out half of icing and add pineapple, cocoanut or banana and spread between layers of the cake. Then ice the cake with plain icing. This never fails if the in- gredients are good. Chocolate Filling. — Two and one-half cups of sugar; add enough water to dissolve it, and boil until it strings, or will ball up in a cup of cold water ; cut about one-quarter cake of Bak- er 's chocolate into little pieces, put in a plate and set in the stove to melt. When the sugar has cooked enough, add it slowly to the half beaten whites of two eggs, and then add the chocolate and beat till it begins to grow stiff; then ice the cake.— Mrs. I. B. Tigrett. Chocolate Filling. — One cup grated chocolate, half cup but- ter, one cup sweet milk, two cups sugar ; boil till thick. Flavor with vanilla and beat until almost cool. Spread rapidly be- tween cake. — Mrs. W. H. Wilson.
