If difficulty is experienced with whipped cream, add one white of egg and stand the basin in a vessel of cold water for one hour. This brings success, and the white of egg will increase the bulk without altering the flavour. * * *

If a tall glass vase, or even a tumbler, is broken at the top. and it is desired to keep it, fill it with cold water up to the required height, and there tie around the vessel a piece of string soaked in paraffin or turps. Set fire to the string and the jagged, broken glass will break ofT. Fine sandpaper will smooth the new edge.
