| <AuultoTluIn "A more pleasant, pront-
able and instructive excursion would
indeed be difficult to conceive.
My tour was again taken up just
where left off the night before and
my first stop was before the brilliantly
lighted booth of the Fould Family:
Macaroni and Sphaghetti. I was
sreeted by a bright-eyed. smiling
young lady, spotlessly and tastefuliy
dressed in white. From steaming
! casserole l was served with a generous
| bit OF macaroni and cheese, the men,

and was carried back to the fields of
Sunny Italy. and my. first taste of
macaroni. The young lady who served
me was aware or my memory's fleet
| ing visit to those Sunny Chimes and
| hastened to assure me that 1t was
always thus with Folds Macaroni
when prepared according to the re-
ceipts contained in the little booklet
which she handed me. 1 wanted to
prolong my delightful visit to this en-
chanting booth, but the crowds were
pressing close in their desire to taste
OF this Food of the Gods. so l move
on to the exceptionally attractive dis

Such Griddlc Cakes

cakes, the very sight of which set my
mouth to watering. Quite uncon-

the nut-brown cakes are placed be-

rich golden nectar which, am told is

| Would 1, indeed. Again my memory
takes backward flight to the days of
early childhood. when, on crisp and
frosty mornings. Mother prepared just

tempting jars of vegetables and fruit

as one remembers having picked

canned and not fresh peas Is there
| any question as to the brand of canned
vegetables we shall select hereafter?
I think not.
Again we see before us, browning
/ griddle cakes. Sure enough, it's the
exhibit of Teco Flour. The charming
young lady who serves us explains that
| Teco is made with buttermilk, which
accounts for that rich brown color
and the downy texture. And again we
| meet Karo lending zest to an already
perfect griddle cake. There's some
thing familiar here. But when we're
| told that Teco Flour is used at the
| karo booth we are no longer puzzled,
and with nod of understanding pass
en- to the enchanting display of the
| Rerryhill Nursery Company.
| Here we find evergreens of all de-
| scriptions. From small, dwarfsh-
! looking window box cedars to the tall

solve, however. My door yard at home
