(see figure 6). But a much easier, cheaper, and more effective mode is simply to stick on gum-drops of ^-t^a^af^^w^v^ — 2 different colors. If a good, clear white gum-drop can be procured use the three colors alternately — red, yellow and white — and the effect is very nice. The beauty of such a piece of work amply repays any lady who has the time and taste, for the trouble of mastering the accom- plishment, and for the small cost
of material. The cost of the lat- "^'Sfcl^a.

professional caterer for a similar piece of work, is very small.
Raised Pie. — Make dough as for Meat Pie ; roll half inch thick and cut out the base, (2), prick with a fork to prevent blistering, and lay aside on the pan ready for baking. Then prepare the oval bottom, (3), wash over with egg, and place evenly on cen- ter of base. Now roll out dough, half an inch thick^ in a narrow strip, long enough to go all round oval bottom (measure out- side of oval by passing a string around it) ; cut straight and even, one inch wicie. Wet ends, which should be cut slanting to make fit closely, and lower edge, and wrap this around the oval piece wliich lies on base, join- ing ends and bottom edge securely. Now fill case to within half an inch of top with bran, place over it a thin cover of dough (with small hole in center) ; wash the outside (except top, which only serves to keep sides in place,and is not used ) with egg, and bake in a moderate oven till brown. When cold, cut out

Now fill shell with a meat or game filling as in Meat Pies ; place jelly (cut in pieces one-half inch square) on top (6), and mold a but- ter lamb and place on top of it, (7). Add the chopped parsley, (8) ; also place the cornucopias in position. Place cut roots (4) one in each cornucopia (9) ; place sliced lemon on top edge and add small root flowers at base of cornucopias, securing them with butter.
