Do not throw egg-shells away, out crush into a powder and with a little coarse suit, vinegar and hot water, use for rinsing out discoloured bottles. Whip cream at an open window, and after partly whipping it. add a teaspoonful of cold water, and continue beating. Repeat this several times until it. is the required thickness. The water makes the cream much lighter and increases the bulk, so that it goes much further.
