Your dressing, dancing, gadding, where's the good in ?
Sweet lady, tell me—can you make a pudding ?

EVE'S PUDDING.
If you'd have a good pudding, pray mind what you're taught.
Take two pennyworth. of eggs when they're twelve for a groat.
Then take of fruit, which Eve did once cozen, well pared and
grated, at least half a dozen. Six ounces of bread—let your
maid eat the crust—and the crumbs must be grated as small as
fine dust. Six ounces of currants, but pray pick there clean,
lest they grate in your teeth; you know what I mean. Six
ounces of sugar won't make it too sweet. With salt and with
nutmeg 'twill then be complete. If you have a mind to be
clever and handy, take some good lemon peel and a. wine-glass of
brandy. Three hours let it boil without puff or flutter. Then
serve it up with some good melted butter. Adam tasted the
pudding. It was wond'rous nice, ,so Eve cut her husband another
large slice.—Miss Bessie Davidson, Kelso.
