From MRS. W. W. KIMBALL, of Chicago, Lady Manager.

OUR GRANDMOTHER'S SYLLABUB.

From MRS. SARAH S. C. ANGELL of Michigan, Lady Manager.

One quart rich cream, juice and peel three lemons, one pint sherry wine, one quart pulverized sugar. Grate the lemon peels and express the juice, add sugar and pour over these the wine; stir until sugar is thoroughly moistened and then slowly add the cream. When mixed take whip-dash and with a tablespoon remove the floating bubbles which rise to the surface. Drop the contents of your spoon into lemonade or champagne glasses, continuing thin process until all the cream is whipped. If the mixture becomes too thick and creamy to make bubbles, dilute it with sweet milk. This quantity will make thirty or forty glasses or fill a four-quart glass howl. Great care must be taken not to dip the spoon too deeply into the mixture, the froth is what is desired.

CLARET PUNCH.

From MRS. FRONA EUNICE WAIT, of California, Alternate Lady Manager.

Take half a gallon of good claret and a pint of old whisky and mix them thoroughly; sweeten to taste by mixing the sugar with a little water to dissolve it before it comes in contact with the alcohol. Take a can of pineapple, or one fresh one, and chop fine, put juice and all into the punch; set the whole mixture on ice and let it stand at least three hours before using; serve some portion of the pineapple with each glass.

BEEF TEA FOR CHILDREN.

From MRS. IDA M. BALL, of Delaware, Lady Manager.

Use soup meat without bone cut into dice, and to every pound of meat use one pint of cold water. Cut up the meat on a dish, not on a board, as the latter absorbs the juices. Have the proper measure of water beside you in a soup basin or bowl, and as you cut up the meat sprinkle it moderately with salt and throw it into the cold water; there let it remain for two hours, then put it all into a sauce pan and set it on the fire. Watch carefully the first rising and skim and secure this as it is the very essence of the beef; put it into a clean bowl and let the beef go on boiling ten minutes, no longer; then pour the extract through a sieve to the first skimmings; stir before using. For older children than infants you may flavor with onion and a few cloves.
