Take choice Seville oranges, remove carefully about one-third of the orange, leaving a strip one-half inch wide to form a handle. From this improvised orange basket carefully scoop all the pulp, leaving only the empty shell. Fill this full of Charlotte Russe. This makes a pretty dish.
TAMALES DE DULCE.
From SEÑORA DON MANUEL CHAVES, of New Mexico.
Para hacer tamales de dulce se descojo buen mais bianco y se hace nistamal. Despues se lava muy bien de modo que no le quede nada cal y se muele en el metate muy remolido. Despues se bate la masa en un cajete bien batida y sepulsa en una puca de agua hasta el ver que esta bien alsado. Cuando la masa se sube sobre el agua ya esta de punto. Se le echa una poca de manteca y asucar y se eus pone adatro una poca de canela molida y pasas y se enbuelven en ojas de mais, y se amarran y ya estan listos para ser cosidos con vapor.
A CHEAP DESSERT.
From MRS. KATE CANTHON MCDANIEL, of Texas, Lady Manager.
Beat the whites of four eggs to a stiff froth; place them carefully in a vessel containing a pint of boiling milk; let them remain until set, then remove carefully to a plate. Beat the four yolks and a cup of sugar until light; stir in half cup of sweet milk, pour slowly into the boiling milk, stirring briskly all the while; continue stirring and let it remain on the fire long enough to thicken, taking care that it never boils or it will be unfit for use; flavor to suit the taste. Place slices of any cake in dessert plates; pour the custard over them, put a spoonful of the whites on each piece of cake and a drop of jelly in the center of the whites.
BANANAS IN JELLY.
From MRS. GOVERNOR RICHARDS, of Montana, President State Board and
Lady Manager.
Make with boiling water one quart of strong lemonade, using only the juice of the lemons; soak one-half box of gelatine in a small cup of cold water; stir it into the boiling lemonade and set where it will cool but not harden. Cut three bananas in length-wise halves and lay them in a mould wet with cold water, cover with one-half the jelly and put the mould on ice till jelly is set, then slice three more and pour on remainder of jelly. Serve with cream or soft custard.
