hen about set, add 1 pint of whipped cream, and pour into a mold. It makes a still prettier dish to serve half or quarter of peaches, half frozen, around the cream. =Charlotte Russe.= 1 pint cream, whipped light, 1/2 ounce gelatine dissolved in 1 gill of hot milk, whites of 2 eggs beaten to a stiff froth, 1 small teacup of powdered sugar. Flavor with vanilla or little almond. Mix together the cream, eggs, sugar and flavoring, and beat in the gelatine and milk when quite cold. Line a mold with slices of sponge cake or lady fingers, and fill with the mixture. Set upon the ice to cool. =Champagne Jelly.= 1 box gelatine, 1 pint boiling water, 1/2 pint cold water, 1/2 pint sherry, 1 lemon, 1 lime, 3/4 pound sugar, 1 teaspoon essence cinnamon. Soak gelatine in cold water, add hot water, sugar, wine, lemon and lime, and boil five minutes. Add 1 pint champagne and strain twice. =Coffee Jelly.= 1/2 box gelatine soaked in cold coffee. When well dissolved, pour in a pint of boiling coffee, sweeten to taste, and set aside to cool. When quite cold and almost jellied, beat up till it becomes a light foam.

Steam four hours. =Pancake with Fruit.= Take 4 eggs, a cup of cream or rich milk, and flour enough to make a thin batter. Add a little fine sugar and nutmeg. Butter the griddle and turn the batter on. Let it spread as large as a common dinner plate. When done on one side, turn it, as a pancake. Have some nice preserves, and spread over quickly.

Be careful and not make the batter too thin. =Strawberry Custard.= 1 cup sugar, 1 quart milk, yolks of 5 eggs, white of 1, and vanilla. Let the milk boil, then add eggs and sugar, and let cool.
