Finely crush 35 of the wafers. Place 4 Tbsp. of the butter in medium microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 1 min. or until melted. Add wafer crumbs and 2 Tbsp. of the sugar; mix well. Press crumb mixture firmly onto bottom and up side of 9-inch pie plate.

Add cream of tartar; beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, beating until sugar is dissolved and stiff peaks form. Spoon meringue over filling; spread to edge of crust to seal.
