 salt, cream of tartar and vanilla.  Beat until whites begin to hold their


 shape.  Very gradually beat in 1 1/2 c sugar and continue to beat until


 stiff but not dry. On 12 inch heatproof flat plate spread about 1/3 of


 meringue to within 1 inch of edge. Pile remaining meringue around edge to
