Mothers are like babies, they are
the proper gender Of lit" In the eyes
Of their families. However. the opln-
ion that mother is an excellent cook
has been shared by all who have been
guests at our board. Housework has
never ceased to be a novelty to her,
and it has always seemed to be her de-
sire to tickle the palates and hearts
of her children. And she has succeed
ed admirably.
The other day when we were look
ing over some of the old recipe books,
the reminiscent mist that covered her
eyes was followed by a happy CLEAN
at the thought of the pleasure each
savory formula has given.
1t has always seemed that mothers

are n of the most precious tidbits.
This Is the recipe: One pound OF
flour, one pound of sugar. one pound
Of buttsr, one or two eggs to make the
mixture a dough, a dash of cinnamon;
strew blanched almonds on top of the
cakes.
This Is an especially old way Of ma
king German puffs. Mother could hard
ly refresh her memory from the faded
pages. but OF course she almost knows
It by heart. for at each Yuletide sho

cream the butter and sugar, and then
add eggs until light; add %cocoanut;

used a custard for dessert will supply
the food value needed.

form of a fowl. reservinE a portion for
the wings and legs, stick in a piece of

EMERGENCY LuNcHEoNs.

We often hear OF wonderful meals
prepared from cold chicken or a leg
OF lamb combined with a good imag-
ination, But we all find ourselves at
times minus the chicken or a lamb
with even one leg left to stand on.
1t Is times Hike these that try wom-
ems souls. The city oman who has
the corner grocery to support her try
ink hours need not worry, but the
woman In the country. where the
grocery is miles away, needs to pre-
pare ammunition for times Of siege.
No one would car to have canned
goods served to them when fresh food
is obtainable,, but the ease of prepara-
ton Ia an advantage many times.
II good oil Is kept on hand, q French
dressing is quickly made or a cooked
dressing may be kept indefinitely.
Canned salmon. shrimp. chicken
and Goldfish are always good, and may
be quickly served in any number of
tasty dishes. Peas. beans, corn and
tomatoes are vegetables which are re-
liable. Canned asparagus will make a
most appetiziDg salad or in a white
sauce with toast makes a satisfying
luncheon.
Canned fruits, pickles, ~jellies and
preserves are usually found in most
homes. These will make, with small
cakes and cookies, a nice dessert.
With a can of peas, corn or tomatoes,
in fact any of the vegetables, q good
cream soup or PURGE may be made,
provided milk Is at hand, or II may
use the canned article if the supply is
not always to be depended on.
Then a can Of salmon may be pre-
pared in timbales or served with q
chopped pickle or two on lettuce as a
salad.
A steamed pudding may be cooked
in fifteen minutes, using a baking pow
der mixture, milk and a bit Of fruit.
Shortcakes are always acceptable, n
II fruit juices are strained and COM
bined with gelatine, sponges and jel-
lies in many varieties can be pre-
pared. Thus, with a well-stocSed
emergenc shelf, a sudden guest need
not strike terror to the heart OF the
housewife.
