Put butter and water into a saucepan, and, when boiling and the butter quite dissolved, add the flour; remove from fire and beat well till smooth. . Turn into a basin and leave until nearly cold. Beat the yolks of the four eggs and work them into the cool paste; then do the same with the whites. Beat all well together for five minutes. Drop the mixture in dessertspoonsful on to greased paper and bake in a moderate oven about twenty minutes. When cool open the tops and fill with whipped dream. To remove grease spots from silk, cover the stain with powdered magnesia and then hold the material near a fire. The heat causes the grease to be absorbed by the powder, which can then be easily brushed off. "HELEN'S WEEKLY."
