through. When cream is difficult to whip, add to it and beat with it the white
of an egg. Sweetened and flavored this is a choice dessert alone, but it may be
served in various ways. Baked apples, and fresh or preserved berries are

SNOW FLAKE.
One package gelatine, pint cold water, quart boiling water, pint wine, three
lemons, three pounds sugar, half small bottle vanilla; put this away until cold;
