Break two eggs in a cup and fill with cream, and one cup sugar, one teaspoonful cream tartar, one-half teaspoonful soda and one and one- half cup of flour, with a little salt. From MRS. MARY PAYTON, of Oregon, Lady Manager. One cup of sweet thick cream, sweetened and flavored with vanilla. Cut a loaf of cake in two and spread the frosting between and on top.

"All of you children have always been so healthy. I don't believe Doctor Russe will listen to her going to the seaside, and the mountains are so monotonous! Other people's children are a great responsibility." Suddenly Isabelle clapped her hands. "I have it!" she cried. "Send her up to Aunt Marthe, and then we can tease Papa to let us go to Newport.
