CRACKERS AN ASSET,

Keep on hand several boxes of crack
ers, sweet and otherwise. They are
valuable when company arrives unex.
pectedly.
If hot dish Is wanted butter un-
sweetened crackers, put in layers In
deep baking dish with grated cheese
between, seasoning each layer with a
little salt and cayenne, cover with boil
ing milk and bake until the top is
brown, the crackers twice their orig
inal size and the cheese melted. An
egg may be beaten up with cold milk
and used instead Of hot milk It will
form delicate custard with the
crackers and cheese.
For another hot dish drain a can
of tomatoes, use the solid portion in
place of the cheese, season liquid and
pour over crackers. Bake as before
For filling cracker sandwiches, free
sardines from skin and bone, add an
equal quantity of hard boiled egg, rub
to a paste and season with cayenne
and lemon juice. Salmon, Neufchatel
or cream cheese may be mixed to a
paste with chopped nuts or sweet pep
pers and seasoned with cayenne and a
little salt Chopped olives also go we'll
with cheese. Freshly roasted peanuts
chopped and mixed with butter makes
a good filling, also any of the salted
meats.
For a sweet any of the slightly
sweetened crackers may be put togeth-
er after being slightly buttered, with
filling of chopped nuts and raisins,
or chopped dates and preserved ginger,
/ or figs and nut meats with grated lem
on peel, grated or shredded cocoanut
mixed with powdered sugar and a lit
| tie sweet cream, or cocoa, sweetened
and slightly moistened with cream, is
loked by many.
Spread crackers with marshmallows
chopped in pieces. sprinkle with nuts
and candied fruit finely chopped, cover
with another cracker and set in oven
till marshmallow is melted. Or use
marshmallow cream, which may be
had at grocers. 1t makes delicious
| filling.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am a mar
ried woman 40 years old and have been
married % years, but have no children,
although | long for them. My father
died when l was 2 months old and my
mother married again when | was =
or 3. She took me to her new home,
but her husband did not want me. and
so she took me to my grandmother,
her mother. | stayed there until l was
10 years old, and then my grandmoth-
er died. My mother took me again.
because | got about $500 from my
grandmother. We used the money to
come here to America from Germany
| had to keep out of my stepfather5
| because he is so jealous of my father.
l have been a mother to all my half
sisters. They all married from my
home, as their father made things mis-
cradle for them. Even now they come
to me when they want anything done
and nothing has been too hard for me
to do. They don't appreciate it. Now
my father is too old to work and | told
mother that he and she might come
and live with us. But my mother
wants to stay with another daughter,
because she doesn't like my husband.
They want me to take my stepfather
| alone, and l don't want to do that.
| don't feel that | owe him anything,
! because | had to 60 to work when |
was IL years old. My mother has
some money, but if I took him and he
| got sick it would make no difference.
| would have to stand all the expense.
| have had such experiences in the
past. Just as soon as l take hold OF
trouble they turn their backs on it.
My husband earns less than any of
my brothers-in-law, and that is an
other reason l feel l ought not take
! him, but my mother is bound l will.
l have a very good husband and he
lets me do just as l want. l often wish
he would be like my sisters husbands,
because then he wouldn't let me take
my stepfather What do you think I
| ought to do?
UNHAPPY WIFE.
The burden of your stepfather
should not fall on you. Absolutely
refuse to take him. The money which
you would spend on him should be
