tablespoon- fuls of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoonful of salt. Chop up 3 ozs. of butter in this pre- 76 June* pared flour. Beat one egg in a bowl, add to it a half pt. of sweet unskimmed milk, and mix well. Pour this quickly, but a little at a time, into the flour, stirring until thoroughly mixed. Roll out about \]/2 inches thick and bake in a large well greased square baking pan, about 20 minutes in a very hot oven. When done split in halves and butter both halves. Place one on a large dish and dust it with powdered sugar. Cover it well with strawberries slightly mashed, sprinkle thickly with powdered sugar. Place the other half, crust side down on top of the berries, and cover with fruit and sugar as before. Serve hot with cream. — ''Table Talk." 3. — Fruit Jelly. Three-fourths of a box of gelatine dissolved in y? pint of cold water. Then add one pint of boiling water, juice of 2 lemons, 2 cups of sugar, 1 cup of wine; strain, and when beginning to harden, stir in the following fruits cut up in pieces, two oranges, 2 ba- nanas, 6 figs, 9 dates, 10 English walnuts. Pour in a border mould. Serve ice-cold with whipped cream that has been sweetened and flavored piled high in the centre. 77 June. 4. — Strawberry Pie. This is very nice, made like any other fruit pie, but it is nicer if the berries are slightly mashed, sprinkled with powdered sugar and heaped in shells of paste which have been previously baked. Pile whipped cream on top.— "Table Talk," Phila. 5. — Cerealine Fritters with Apples.
