In my opinion. strawberries as straw
berries. pure and unadulterated cannot
be improved upon. But I'm also old
fashioned enough to enjoy strawberry
shortcake to any other strawberry des-
sert If they must be fixed up. However
as the strawberry season progresses and
the flushed warm berries appear more
and more on our tables. the faded meal
planner may welcome some new concoc-
lions Tor the luscious fruit-1ust to en-
tertain herself even though the family
is willing to attack shortcake three times
a day. After all. of course. strawberries
cannot be spoiled, no matter In what
connection or combination they appear.
But Just for fear you haven't a rule
for short cake, I'll give the following
nrst OF all. The shortcake dough we see
