History of Mince Pie and
Recipe for Making It

The first mince pies were baked
in deep trough-shaped dishes lined
with dough and filled with all kinds
of highly-spiced forcemeats. covered
with top crust; and they were
baked only at Christmas time. and
had a peculiar significance. for the
shape OF the dish was supposed to
represent the manser in which the
infant Saviour lay
The spices, then a rare and expen
sive luxury. were symbols OF the
gifts that the Wise Men brought.
There came that dark period when
religious intolerance cast its somber
cloak over the joys of Christmastide,
and mince pie was banished as "a
vain and idolatrous thing"
In 1914 when the English Parlia-
ment abolished the observance of
the three grand festivities" of
Christmas. Easter. and Whitsuntide
mince pies were banned. They were
clearly symbol of popery; as such,
John BunyaH is said to have refused
them when in Bedford Gaol.
This wave of religious intolerance
spread to America, and few years
later the Massachusetts legislature
passed similar law, and so for
mere than q decade there were no
Christmases and no mince pies in
England and America. and when
the ley rigour of the Puritan con-
science began to thaw little. and
the noble dish returned TO favor,
1t was in new form

were gone. and the round plates of

Soda Crackers Once

Remember way back when you
bought soda crackers at the corner
grocery and Friend Grocer ffshed
out the required amount from an
open barrel, or rather open house,
to wandering dirt and pirating
fingers? Crackers that often pre-
scented dirty faces and hard. flinty
hearts. No wonder that many Of
us grew up with a complex against
crackers.
How the picture has changed!
Today soda crackers dwell in CHEEKY
red packages, nesting side by side
on grocer's shelves. Within the
four protecting wrappers of the
package is row on row of dainty
crackers, tenderly crisp and diInpled
with health. Every cracker is a
tiny storehouse of health calories
and delicious taste.

whole of a round nickel a box,
