LITTLE LADIES' TART (a pretty dish for a Juvenile party)

Rub four ounces of fresh butter into half a pound of flour. Add a pinch of salt, three ounces of pounded sugar, and three well-beaten eggs. Work these ingredients into a firm paste, and roll it out three or four times, dredging lightly with flour to prevent it sticking to the board. Make it into a round shape, about a quarter of an inch in thickness, ornament the outside edge with a fork or spoon, put it on an oven plate, and bake in a quick oven. When sufficiently cooked, take it out and let it cool. Just before serving, spread lightly over it different coloured jellies and jams, laid in strips from the centre like the spokes of a wheel. Time, about twenty-five minutes to bake. Probable cost, 1s. 6d. Sufficient for five or six persons.
