Dear Folks: A friend, Jennie of
Mt. Zion,' has asked for some suS-
gestions for refreshments at church
entertainments, and as this takes
some space and is q matter of inter
est to many of us, l am going to
give a list of measures SO that all
who desire may clip and save.
One sandwich loaf makes twenty
hin sandwiches. These should be
cut diagOnally across, which makes
forty. OF course, you must count
on serving each person ait least two
or three full sandwiches, four Or
six pieces. One gallon of ice cream
will serve thirty-two people. One
gallon of punch twenty-fOur people.
until very tender, will make enough
salad for sixteen people if you use
with it one stalk of celery, cut fine,
and six hard-boiled eggs, mashed or
ground through a meat grinder and
mixed with the chicken, which should
be cut fine with scissors; add one
cup of sweet mixed pickle and
enough heavy mayOnnaise to make
the salad the proper consistency. OF
course, you add salt and pepper to
taste, and if you are in the country
where it is difficult to get celery,
use celery seed to taste. You can
secure celery seed in packages
through your grocer or mail order
houses. A large cake will serve
twenty people, and one pound of cot
fee will make good percolater coffee
for thirty-siX people. Do hope this
will be helpful to many of my read
ers.
Cordially yours,
AUNT JULIA.
Mary Young: You ask for sandwich
suggestions. | have given any num-
Der Of sandwich filings in the past
several weeks, but | am always glad
to add something to our Aunt Julia
cookbook First of all do you know
how we get the name sandwich"
1t is said to have taken it's name
from the fourth earl of Sandwich,
an Englishman. He was playing a
game and did not wish to be inter-
rupted, so when the mealtime was
announced he ordered that meat be-
tween slices of bread should be
brought to the table so that the game
might go on.
A good sandwich can be made of
peanut butter and meat combina-
tions such as nuts, pickles and eel
cry. Chop fine any of these and
mix with peanut butter, add q little
mayOnnaise and spread on bread A
very delicate sandwich can be made
of either fresh butter and finely
chopped parsley or cottage cheese
and the parsley; this should be spread
on thin slices of bread, spread with
butter or mayOnnaise.

Dear Aunt and Beloved Cousins Ifeasc
pardon for intrudns after being away
SO long. but | promised to take a subject
neXt time l wrote in my former letter, so
mere goes. The subject is sympathy L
don't think that subject has been discussed.
We wouldn't give two straws for that neign-
borly sympathy which is called to life only
by the hush of death, and that is one reason
why some folks don't like the public card of
thanks, There should he no occasion for
thanking folks for simply doing their duty.
If your home catches fire it stands to rea-
son the neighbors will help you to save what
they can. Ii YOU are stricken by the death
Of member of the family it is only com
mon decency upon the part of your friends
to come to your aid. And yet this mere
assistance is rare that have seen
strong men with tears streaming down their
faces as they felt the heartbreak OF parting
with loved one, say, what would we DO
without fricuds:' This noble attribute of
sympathy ought not 70 he so rare that only
death or disaster can call It into being. We
ought 10 practice il toward our ueighbors
every day # our lives. You don't know how
a showing Of interest, kind word or
hearty hanGclasp may strengthen the poor
being who is trudging under aload he keeps
hidden from the public gaze. And then.
there is mother. 1t isn't much of task
making mother happy. As her hair whitens
and the light in her eyes begins 20 fade.
her wants grow cOrrc5pondinGly simpler.
But She wants to know that she sometimes
is in your thoughts. wants to be kept in
mind. She needs little change from the
m0notonous routine of her life. Cant YOU
give her UneE Think it over and do some
thing for mother. Give her gift some

fellows Wh2 Have left the old home and are
far frcm her. don't fancy that a letter
