One-half box gelatine, 2 cupfuls of sugar, juice of one lemon, 3 eggs (whites), one pint of boiling water. Pour the boiling water on the gelatine, add the juice of the lemon, and sugar. When nearly cold, strain; add the whites of the eggs beaten quite stiff, beat the whole together, put in a mould and set on ice. With the yolks of the eggs, one pint of milk, one large spoonful of sugar, one teaspoonful of corn starch make a boiled custard; flavor to taste. Serve cold by pouring the custard around portions of the snow.

A hasty dessert made in seven minutes. Two cupfuls boiling water, three-fourths cupful granulated sugar, two tablespoonfuls corn starch. Boil together briskly five minutes. Beat in the stiffly whipped whites of two eggs. Flavor to taste. Serve cold with cream. Sliced oranges, pineapple, candied cherries or cubes of jelly add greatly to this dish.
Mrs. D. M. Candor.
One pint or a little more of boiling water, beat into it four tablespoonfuls cornstarch dissolved in a little cold water. Add stiffly beaten whites of two eggs, one-half cup sugar, pinch of salt and flavoring.
One pint milk, yolks of two eggs, one whole egg, one half cup sugar, salt and flavoring. Mrs. Whitsitt.
Soak a scant half box of gelatine in two tablespoonfuls water for 15 minutes. Pour on two cups of boiling water, add one cup of sugar and the juice of two oranges. Let stand until the mixture begins to thicken, then add the whites of two eggs beaten light, and the whole beaten with a wire spoon until white and light like snow. Turn into small molds, and set away to chill. Serve with a liquid sauce.
Heat two cups of milk to the boiling point, add one level tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with one-half cup of sugar and cook five minutes. Add the well beaten yolks of two eggs, cook two minutes, then add a teaspoonful of orange flavoring and cool. Pour around the snow when taken from the moulds.
