To make Russian dressing, add to-
batO chill sauce or tomato catsup
and lemon juice, to plain mayOn-
naise dressing.
If you are planning or equipping
kitchen, think all the time of the
work to be done in it. Don't make
the room too big. Work centers can
be arranged to better advantage in
an oblong kitchen than in a square
one.
Make a rhubarb betty for dessert,
just as you would make apple betty.
Alternate buttered bread crumbs
and fruit, with sugar TO taste. You
can use either stewed or uncOOked
rhubarb. If you use uncOoked rhu-
barb, cover the baking dish for the
first part of the cooking, then re-
move the lid and brown the top
crumbs. Sift a little cinnamon or
nutmeg over the top.
Have many Saturday or weekend
picnics this spring if you own Ear.
Take the whole family along. Keep
special box or picnic kit equipped
with paper or unbreakable plates,
cups, silver, paper napkins, and
waXed papers. Then lunch can be
picked up in no time at all and put
together after the picnic spot is
reached. On your emergency shelf in
the pantry keep few things always
in stock. such as canned or package
goods suitable for these trips.
Waffles served with crushed straw
berries make good dessert for this
time of year. Add cream if you like,
plain or whipped. Sweeten the batter

larger equipment in logical working
sequence. The test for waste space
in floor plan is seeing whether the
equipment can be packed into
smaller well-lighted area in the
same relative positions, leaving
room enough to work comfortably.
NPeanuts make a good sandwich
filling. if you put the roast shelled
nuts through a coarse meat grinder,
and then stir in enough cream to
make the mixture easy to spread.
Add salt. This filling will not be
pasty.
Don't iron white silk with very
hot iron. All silk scorces easily, and
an iron too hot turns white silk yel-
low. Use a warm iron on the wrong
side of the silk, and protect it with

enough at one time to cover the bot
