DANDY FRUIT
DESSERTS
BY Hannah Wing

TT is on the unexpected Occa-
i sions that the ever-ready
canned fruit fufills not only
It's usual mission Of quick and
easy desserts for the family but
because, in o jiffy, any one Of
Q long list Of dainty and de-
liciOus different" desserts that
may be quickly achieved, II one
has on hand q variety Of cam
ned fruits, done In their own
delicious juices, with syrup
enough to render them adapt
able for the metamorphosiS
into . sweet for dinner.
Whipped cream or whipped
evaporated milk enter into .
secret affiliation with many Of
these fruits, and offer the Op-
portunity for richness and di-
verSity Of flavor.
Take some halves Of pears.
Put into the refrigerator to be
come cold. Fill the hOlloWs
with jelly wine or currant or
gliava-and serve with some Of
the chilled Juice. Or open q
can Of great golden peaches.
Fill one-haR with SWeetened
whipped cream, favored with q
little almond, sprinkled with
cOconut, top with another half
peach and serve with whipped
cream, and If you have them
crumble q macaroon into the
cream.
Little cup cakes, followed
out and filed with cream and
luscious red raSpberries, and
served with some Of the rasp-
berry Juice are delectable. II
cup cakes aren't in the cake
trunk very fresh and dainty,
ones are available every day at
your grocer'S and lend them
selves admirably to such do
ings, or q sponge cake or lady
fingers may be similarly en-
plOyed.
Slices of pineapple may be lib
orally coated with marShnal-
low cream, another slice placed
over them and served very cold
In their syrup. With cakes or
cookies they are wonderful. Or
fill the centers Of the slices with
orange H1arlmalade or tart jelly.
Canned figs served with cream
or with cream cheese, mashed
and seasoned with salt and
paprika.
Sponge cake, though a favor
ite, does get stale quickly, and
+ nothing dresses it up and makes
o special dessert of it as quickly
and easily as canned fruit.
Split q sponge cake and put
together with apricot puree
(made by rubbing canned apri-
cots through q sieve),. whipped
cream, sWeetened and favored,
and chopped toasted almonds.
Cover sides with puree and nuts,
cover the top with puree and
whipped cream and sprinkle
with nuts.
Cut a stale sponge cake in
slices and line a glass serving
dish with them; sprinkle the
slices with cooking sherry, then
spread over them a layer of jam
or preserved fruit; add other
layers Of cake and preserves
until the dish is full. Pour over
the whole q quart Of cold, rich
boiled custard, favored with
vanilla. Iarnish the dish with
meringue.

Speaking Of greeting cards
and most people are these days,
what with Christmas coming
along, not to mention all the
birthdays and what not here
are a few things that may be
interesting:
The history Of greeting ca1ds
literally dates from remote an
tiquity. A boulder carrying q
terse chisseled message from
q Stone-Age caveman was the
first greeting card. Then as
civilization progressed, writing
in the earlier AsSyrian periods
was done on clay tablets and
baked before transmission. In
Egyptian times the sending Of

The oldest Greek statute now ex-
tant, governing the disposition Of
real" property, comes from the Is.
land of Crete. This is the law of the
city of Gortyna, dating from perhaps
B. @. 40. This Inscription, the larg.

law. came to light less than fifty years
ago; for the stones on which It was
chiseled had been buried for 1000
years or more and Its discovery made
a sensation in the learned world. 1t

1000 years ago women in this Cretean
city could own property. Moreover.
