FRUIT DESSERT.— Cover the bottom of a berry disli with a layer of sliced oranges; sprinkle on pulverized sugar, then put on a layer of strawberries, and so on alternately until the dish is full. Over the whole pour orange juice in the proportion of 3 oranges to a quart of berries. Let stand about an hour, and just before serving sprinkle with pounded ice. Fruit Dessert No. 2 — Cut bananas, oranges and pineapple in small pieces; arrange them in alternate layers in a glass dish, with pow- dered sugar and grated cocoanut between each layer. Squeeze the juice of a lemon on top and set on ice for 4 or 5 hours. The last thing before serving sprinkle grated cocoanut freely on top. It makes a nice dessert with white cake.
