Boiled Icing

Boil one cup of granulated sugar with one-fourth cup of water, until the syrup hairs when dropped from a spoon. Have ready the beaten white of one egg. Pour the syrup slowly upon the egg, stirring constantly. Flavor the same as the cake and spread on the cold cake, when the icing is stiff enough not to run. Cut in squares or slices.
