1/4 cup cream or milk.
1/2 tsp. salt.
1 egg.

Grate the cheese, put it with the milk in the double boiler. While
this is heating, make some toast. Mix the mustard, salt and pepper,
add the egg and beat well. When the cheese has melted, stir in the egg
and butter, and cook about two minutes, or until it thickens a little,
but do not let it curdle. Pour it over the hot toast and serve at
once.

BEVERAGES.


TEA.

In making tea, the following rules should be observed. The water
should be freshly boiled. The teapot, which should be of earthen or
china (never of tin), should be scalded and heated before putting in
the tea. Pour on the boiling water and cover closely, and let stand
for 3 or 4 minutes before using. Never, under any circumstances,
allow tea to boil. The usual proportion is a small teaspoonful of tea
to 1 cup of boiling water, but this is too strong for general use.
