FRUIT TRIFLE.--Beat whites of six eggs light, add six tablespoons of
sugar and beat about half an hour then beat in one cupful of grated
pineapple or cut up fresh strawberries or fresh raspberries or cut up
fresh, ripe peaches or apricots or any fruit jam or jelly and beat five
minutes. Serve ice cold in sherbet glasses as it is or chopped with
flavored whipped cream. "Trifle" is sometimes made by using whipped
cream, sweetened, and adding one cupful of cut up fresh berries, or
peaches or orange pulp or bananas chopped, or half a glass of any
fruit, jam or any jelly cut into small pieces. Beat it through the
whipped cream. This is a simple and palatable dessert which can be
quickly made.--Mrs. Whitehead.

dainty and easily made dessert.--Mrs. Whitehead.
Ice Cream, Sherbets, Ices and Frozen Dainties
"Which is not amiss to cool a man's stomach this hot
weather."--Shakespeare.
ICE CREAM.--In packing the freezer use rock salt and crush the ice very
fine. Put it in a heavy grain sack and pound and mash until nearly as
fine as snow. Measure ice and salt allowing four parts ice to one of
salt or ten pounds of ice to three of salt. Pack ice in layers three
inches deep, then shake over one large saucerful of salt, then another
three inch layer of ice and more salt, alternating ice and salt until
you reach top of can. Pack the can with cream, put on the top of
freezer, and let cream stand until it freezes on edges, then turn the
dasher slowly for ten minutes, then quickly until cream is frozen thick
but not too hard. Remove the dasher, put on the top and cork, repack
freezer with ice, cover with heavy carpet and let cream ripen two or
three hours.--Mrs. C. H. McKay.
