Household Hints.

Curried Toast.—Required: One hard boiled egg, six strips of bread, either toasted and buttsred or fried in butter, curry powder, piece of butter half as big as a hen's egg. Hard boil the egg, take out the yolk, and maah it up with the butter, salt to taste, and enough curry powder to well flavour. Spread the mixture on the toasted or fried bread, brown with, a salamander —or if you have not one, use a hot stove — and serve at once.

Chocolate Souffle.—Required: One teacupful of milk, one tablespoonful of flour, two eggs, two tablespoonsful of grated chocolate, one tablespoonful of castor sugar. Mix the tablespoonful of flour to a smooth paste with a little of the cold milk and put the rest on to boil. When it boils, sitr in the flour and boil gently till it comes away from the sides of the saucepan when tipped. Then pour into a basin. Separate the yolks from the whites of the eggs, beat the latter into a stiff froth. Well beat the yolks, then i»our on to them the flour and milk, then add the chocolate andligbtlyßtir in the whites. Pour oil into a well greased dish, and bake in a fairly quick oven for from half to three quarters of an hour. N.B.—lf a Cheese Souffle is preferred use two tablespoonsful of grated cheese, and pepper and salt to taste, in place of the chocolate and sugar.

Mountain Snow. - Required: One pint of milk, castor sugar, two tablespoonsful of cornflour, two egg*, vanilla or almond flavouring, preserved cherries. Mix a ilttle of the cold milk with the cornflour, and put the rest on to beat. Separate the yolks of the eggs from the whites, well beat the former, then add them to the cornflour, and whisk the whites to a froth. When the milk is hot, pour it on the yolks and cornflour, pour back into the saucepan, and stir till it thickens. Spread a layer of any kind of jam in a glass diab, and when the cornflour has slightly cooled pour it into the diah. Let cool, then whisk the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth, add castor sugar and flavouring to taste, pile on top of the cornflour scatter a few preserved cherries cut in quarters over the top, and serve at once.
