Three parts fill a buttered cup with
the mixture, and bake till firm.
A little well-flavoured jelly, broken up and put into a cup, will always
be a welcome addition to a repast of this description. The same may be
said of tartlets, turnovers, cakes of all descriptions, lemon
cheesecakes, &c. Fruit juice, sweetened agreeably and firmed with a
spoonful of dissolved gelatine, supplies a very delicious sweet. When a
pudding, cream, or tart is being made for the family, it is very easy to
take out a portion and cook it separately in a small glass or jar, to be
used for the school luncheon next day. Some girls would enjoy a morsel
of cheese and a sea-foam biscuit as a relish. A little trouble spent is
well worth while. We should not hear half so many complaints about
over-study and over-pressure, if girls attending school had a good
luncheon in the middle of the day; and before mothers and elder sisters
make up their minds that a girl is doing too many lessons, and that the
teacher must be asked to excuse a portion thereof, they ought to
consider whether they are doing all that is possible to furnish the
young student with food which will give her strength to make the most of
the precious opportunities for improvement which will be gone all too
soon.
