                        Crepes:
   4                    eggs
     1/4  Tsp.          salt
   2      C.            all-purpose flour
   2 1/2  C.            milk
   1      Stick         butter
                        Mousse:
   8                    eggs
   1      Pkg.          chocolate -- (12 oz.)
                        chips
   4      Tbsp.         rum
   1      C.            sugar

Crepes: Combine eggs and salt. Gradually add flour
alternately with milk, beating with electric mixer. Beat in
melted butter. Refrigerate batter at least 1 hour. Cool crepes
in a single layer on absorbent paper.
Mousse: Separate eggs, placing egg yolks in a bowl,
four whites in a second bowl and remaining four whites in a 3rd
bowl. Melt chocolate over low heat. Add yolks, 1 at a time,
beating well after each addition. Blend in rum. Remove from
heat and cool slightly. Beat 4 egg whites in each bowl until
frothy (beating all 8 together will not give you enough vol- 
ume). Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar to each bowl. Beat until
stiff peaks form. Stir small amount of whites into chocolate
mixture. Combine whites and fold chocolate mixture into them.
Refrigerate.
Fill crepes. Top with dollop of whipped cream and a few
sliced almonds.
