When done split it open, cutting only the edge and then tearing the rest of it apart and put between the two thicknesfies a quart, of berries which you have mashed arid sprinkled thickly with sugar. Leave enough of the berries to heap on the -top: Eat this warm with cream and sugar. If you ahoose you can add to the looks and the deliciousness ot the dish by putting whipped cream around the cake and on top of it. Strawberry Shortcake, IL — Cream a Cup of sugar and two tablespoons of butter and stir into them three eggs, beaten -light, and half a cup of rich milk. Beat well, put in a cup of, flour, which has been,sifted, with a'tea,spoon of bak- ing powder, and bake in three lay- ers in jellyerase' tins. When cold take the cakes from the tins and spread halved strawberries be - ween the bottom and second and the second and third layers, reserv- ng enough *hole berries to arrange on top. Heap whipped cream over all and .pass cream with the cake. Strawberry FlOat.--Crush two quarts 'of ripe strawberries, drain the juice from them,- sweeted to taste, and mix with it a pint of sich cream.. Whip light the whites of four eggs with as many table- spoons of' powdered sugar, beat the crushed berries into this, adding a little more sugar if the berries are unusually tart. Pour the cream and juice' into, a glass dish and heap the 'bellies on top of this. If you wish you min line the bottom of the dish with split lady fingers. Strawberry Charlotte. -Mash a quart of ripe berries and strew them with sugar. Let them stand for ten minutes' and then put through a vegetable press.

Strawberry Jelly. -Soak a pack- age of gelatin in a cup of cold water for an hour, unless you use the in- stantaneous gelatin, in which case a shorter time is required. Crush two cups of ripe berries and set them aside for a quarter of an hour with a cup of granulated sugar stirred into therm. Dissolve the gelatin in e pint of boiling water, add the sugar and mashed berries, and strain through a fine sieve or a coarse cloth. Set aside to get cold. When this stage is reached, whip the whites of five eggs to a stiff froth and beat the partially formed. jelly into it, a little at it time.
