n ounces of powdered sugar beaten with the
whites of six eggs for one hour. Add ten ounces of grated chocolate and
seven ounces of ground almond. Bake like kisses in a moderate
oven.--Mrs. Whitehead.

COCOANUT DROP CAKES.--Two cupfuls of sugar boiled with one cupful of
water until it threads from the spoon. Beat the whites of two eggs very
light. Beat in the hot syrup and beat until light and thick, flavor

in little stiff cakes on buttered papers on tins and brown a delicate
color in a moderate oven. Invert the papers and brush the backs of
paper with a little cold water when the cakes will readily slip off.
Chopped pecans may be used instead of cocoanut but there must be enough
nuts to make a stiff mixture that will not run when dropped on the
papers.--Mrs. Whitehead.
