the whites of 3 eggs until stiff and dry, adding 1/2 t cream of tartar when the eggs are foamy. Pour the syrup slowly onto the whites of the eggs and continue beating until cold. Add I T vanilla, and i pt. heavy cream, whipped stiff. Put into moulds and let stand for 3 h, packed in equal portions salt and chopped ice. For this Easter Luncheon color half of the Parfait with either the yolk of an egg or with the yellow coloring matter. Put into the moulds in layers or with a marbled eft'ect. A very attractive way of serving the dessert for this luncheon would be as follows: Make Vanilla Wafers, roll as cornucopias, fill with the Angel Parfait and lay on a dessert plate with a daffodil beside it. Rolled Vanilla V/afers Cream 54 c butter, add gradually ^/^ c powdered sugar, and cream in 34 c milk, adding it a few drops at a time. The mixture should be smooth and creamy. If it seems to curdle, too much milk has been added at a time. By beating well it will become smooth again. Then add ]4 c bread flour and 3^ t vanilla. Spread the mixture very thinly on an inverted buttered dripping pan, smoothing it with a broad bladed knife or spatula. Mark in 3 inch squares and bake in a slow oven until delicately browned. When done draw 278 LESSONS IN COOKING the pan to the front of the oven, and with a sharp pointed knife run along the crease, separating each wafer. With the point of the knife raise the edge of each wafer and roll either in cornucopias, or cylinders, cornerwise or straight across. This must be done while the wafers are very hot, otherwise they will be too brittle. If they become brittle while handling put back in the oven and reheat. Have the plate and knife ready at hand so that not a moment will be lost after the process of rolling has begun. It may seem a little difficult at first to handle the wafers while they are so hot, but a little practice will make it very easy.
