Cream one-half cup of butter, add one cup of sugar, the well-beaten yolks of six eggs, one-half cup of milk, and two cups of flour, with which two teaspoons of baking po\vder has been sifted. Flavor \vith one-half teaspoon each of lemon and vanilla extract. Pound Cake. Cream one-half cup of butter, gradually add three- fourths cup of sugar and work till very smooth and light. Add a saltspoon of mace, a tablespoon of lemon juice, and one by one beat in three eggs. Then mix in one cup of flour. Bake in small shapes in a moderate oven for half an hour or more. Fruit Cake.

Crumble or grate one-fourth pound or one-half cup of almond paste, mix with one egg white, and beat till smooth and stiff. Gradually add one-fourth to one- half cup of powdered sugar. Roll in balls or drop from a teaspoon on ungreased paper spread on pans. Bake in a moderate oven about thirty minutes. Brush the under side o£ the paper with water to remove it from the cakes. Oatmeal Macaroons. Rub one tablespoon of butter into one-half cup of sugar, and mix with one well-beaten egg. Stir in one and one-half cups of rolled oats, one-fourth teaspoon of salt, and one-half teaspoon of baking powder. Drop small shapes on greased pans, and bake in a hot oven until brown and crisp.

When boiling, quickly stir in one cup of flour and let it cook, stirring constantly till the mass leaves the sides of the pan in a smooth ball of paste. Milk may be used instead of water.

The same mixture as for cream puffs is put through a bag and tube in long, narrow rolls. When baked, they are filled with a thick cream filling and are frosted. Vanity Fritters. Fry the cream puff dough by teaspoonfuls in deep fat until puffy, brown, and crisp. Drain on paper, then roll in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon. Sections of fruit may be coated with this mixture and fried for fruit fritters. White Frosting. One egg white, one teaspoon of lemon juice, one cup of powdered sugar.
