Beat the yolks of 6 eggs, add 2 scant oz. corn starch, beat until smooth, then add the juice and grated rind of 2 lemons, and a very little water to thin it. Put the balance of the water (a qt. should be used altogether) in a double boiler with 3-4 of a lb. of sugar and 1 oz. gelatine. When boiling hot stir in the corn starch mixture, cook thoroughly and when cold stir in the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs. Set away in a cool place for 3 or 4 hours. Mrs. Odenbaugh.

Soak 1 cup tapioca or sago for 2 hours in cold water, add 1 qt. of milk, and cook in a double boiler until clear. Beat together yolks of 4 eggs and 3 tablespoons sugar, a ltitle salt, butter size of an egg and stir it into the boiling sago. Cook about 5 minutes, and turn a layer about 1-2 inch thick into the bottom of the pan, slice banana thinly over the custard and continue these layers until the custard is used up. Beat the whites of the eggs very light, sweeten slightly, spread on top and return to the oven for a few moments. Serve very cold. Fresh peaches or oranges are very nice used in the same way.
