WHEN separating the yolk from the white of an egg, break it into a funnel over a glass, for the white will pass through, leaving the yolk in the funnel.

Milk is not so likely to boil over if a china pie funnel is put in the centre of the saucepan, and it will not burn if a lump of butter is dropped into a warm saucepan be fore the milk is poured in.

Different Sweets

HERE are three recipes for special-occasion sweets.

To make ginger cream, boil three-quarters of a pint of milk and pour over two eggs well beaten and mixed with threa ounces of caster sugar. and a teaspoonful of ground ginger. Mix up together and add half- an-ounce of gelatine and a few drops of essence of lemon. Stir. over the fire, without boiling, till mixture is thick.

When cold, add three ounces of ginger pieces cut up small and a small tin of cream whipped up, or quarter of a pint or more of 1resh cream whipped. Fill into a mould lightly oiled with salad oil. The oil makes it unneces- sary to dip the mould in hot water before turning on to a dish.

Decorate with sweetened whipped cream on top and round. the edge, and sprinkle with a little chopped or grated pistachio nut, or sugar coloured pink or colour granulated green. To sugar, put some in a saucer and mix in a little colouring. Store the surplus in a small corked bottle or covered jar until re- quired again. PEAR SPONGE

Mako or buy a sponge sandwich and put together with apricot jam and pastry custard. Spread the top also with Jam and spread thickly with custard, then arrange some tinned pears on it, tops converging at the centre and the outer side of the pears uppermost. Lay a few halved glace cherries down the centre of each pear and, preferably with a large rose pipe and bag, fill in the spaces with sweetened whip- ped cream, and again add a little pistachio nut.

For the pastry custard, put two ounces each of butter, sugar, and flour and two yolks of exxa in a pan and mix in half a pint of warm milk by degrees. Stir over the fire till
