ATTRACTIVE SWEETS.

'Salad Trifle.—A sponge sandwich, about 1 dozen small biscuits, a small pineapple, a sweet orange, 2 bananas, cream, raspberry jam. Place the sandwich in a dish, spread with jam and fix the biscuits all around. Mix together about half of the pineapple (finely shredded), the bananas (cut into slices), and the orange (cut into pieces, peel, etc., removed). Put the fruit on the sandwich cover with whipped cream, and surround with the remainder of the pineapple. Coloured jelly placed around and over the dish is an improvement in appearance and flavour.

A Quickly-made Sweet. —Make a quickly prepared cold sweet. Moisten some slices of Swiss roll with the syrup from a small tin of apricots, place a large teaspoonful of whipped cream on each, and then half an apricot, skin-side uppermost, to represent the yolk. Meringues.—When numbers of yolks of egg have been used on baking-day, some of the whites may, of course, be used for pancakes, apple-snow, and a number of other things.' But, as the oven is cooling down, this diminishing heat should be utilised. Beat six whites of eggs with gib. castor sugar. When quite stiff, one teaspoon white vinegar is added to the mixture. Cut wafer paper into squares if desired (some people object to the greased taste resulting from the buttering of the tin), and put neat little dabs of the mixture on to the tin with a teaspoon or dessertspoon. Bake 20 minutes.
