This pudding is served cold without sauce and the following ingredients are sufficient for six persons : Three oranges, one-half lemon (juice) one pint milk, one tablespoonful corn starch, one cup of sugar, two eggs, one-fourth teaspoonful salt. Peel the oranges, removing all the tough and white skin, and cut them half the size of a nutmeg, taking out the tough portion in the center. Place the oranges in a pudding dish, squeeze the lemon juice over them, add half a cupful of sugar. Stir up and let stand while the rest of pudding is prepared. Beat the yolks of the eggs, stir in two teaspoonfuls milk, add the same quantity of milk to the corn starch, and beat these two mix- tures together. Heat the rest of the milk in a milk boiler, and when boiling add the eggs, corn starch, etc. Cook five minutes, add the salt and the rest of the sugar, remove from the fire, and lay the mixture, a spoonful at a time on top of the oranges in the dish. Beat the whites of the eggs stiff, add to them a tablespoonful of sugar, spread the icing on top on the pudding, and brown it delicately in the oven. This pudding should not be made over night as the oranges would in that time give off too much of their juice. — Mrs. J. E. Patton. CHOCOLATE BEEAD PUDDING. One cupful bread crumbs, two cupfuls scalded milk, one ounce chocolate (1-8 Ir-ge cake) one fourth cupful boiling water, one-third cupful sugar, one egg, one-fourth teaspoonful salt, one-half teaspoonful vanilla.

Add this to the bread mixture. Beat the eggs, add the sugar and salt ; add the first mixture to the egg mixture, then add the vanilla, and turn into a buttered pudding dish. Bake as a plain pudding, and serve with whipped cream, lemon sauce, or hard sauce. — Mrs. E. A.
