Some Timely
Recipes

Every housewife is familiar
with the pamphlets which are
thrown around daily about
every subject under the sun but
once in while we find one that
is so genuinely helpful that we
feel the urge to pass it on.
Such a one thrown in my
door some time ago speaks a
language all women who have
to count their pennies and cal
cries understand. The recipes
given are good, and the ingre-
dents are those to be found on
every pantry shelf, just the
plain everyday kind of food
stuffs we all have on hand.
Especially good is this one for:
SPONGE CAKE
2 eggs
! cup sugar
cup pastry flour Cor ordi.
nary flour sifted twice.
4 tablespoons cold water
teaspoon baking powder
Pinch salt
/ teaspoon vanilla or
l tablespoon mon juice
demon juice is BETTER.
Beat eggs lightly. Add sugar
and beat until creamy. Add
salt, flour and baking powder,
and beat again. Stir in the
water and lemon juice and pour
at once into cup cake pans or
large pan, if you prefer. Bake
in a hot oven about 20 minutes.
This makes a light and de-
licious sponge cake and is GER
tainly easy to make.
Served with Raspberry De.
light "a jello dessert), one has
a dessert that is both appealing
to the eye and a fine finish to
a meal. It is not too heavy and
yet supplies the necessary
sweet touch that any meal
needs.
To prepare Raspberry Delight
make one pint raspberry jello
or similar prepared gelatine.
When partly set stir in one cup
crushed pineapple (pour off as
much juice as you CAM, and
cool. Make one pint lemon jello
and when cool whip with an
egg beater until fluffy. like
whipped cream. Use as a sauce
on the raspberry jello and gar
nish with maraschino cherries.
For economy sake these cher
ries. which add that little touch
of nicely to many foods, can be
purchased in the ten cent size
and will be plenty for an aver
age family for several times.
This dessert is very colorful
and looks a great deal more ex-
penSive than it is-the only
thing it does take time for prep
aration but it never fails and is
therefore good for beginners in
houSeWifery.
If just one package of jello
is on hand let half of it become
set in your sherbert cups and
then whip the other half as per
above instructions and your
dessert will be just as good and
will be In all one color scheme.

Which brings us to the realiza
ton that the lack of fireplace
presents something of a problem
to a decorator, too. Whether we
have a professional help us with
our homes, or whether we do them
ourselves to the best of our abil-
ity, We need something of the sort
to draw the room together, to
build it around. We need the
warmth and friendliness of a fire
place.
So why not RI O. for a house in
the near future, with a fireplace
in every room, if we really want
it. Here's the story of one couple
who really got what they wanted.
Plans Beginning
Near Madison, Conn, stood an
old house, built before the War of
the Revolution. When the last
member of the original family died
the property fell into disrepair.
It was part of a large estate and
in an out-of-the-way location.
A New York newspaper man
and his wife acquired the prop
erty for the proverbial song about
five years ago. The depression
came along and their dreams of
doing great things with the old
house faded. In the glow of the
first pride of possession they had
scrubbed it from top to bottom,
but there the renovation ended.
They spent a few week ends at
their country place" during the
summer but lack of convenienCes
and inefficient fireplaces soon
diSpelled the dreams of a roaring
fire within and snow without in
the winter time. With the enact
ment of the National Housing
act and the formation of the
Modernization Credit Plan Of the
Federal Housing Administration,
their dreams were renewed. They
borrowed from private financial
institution the $4,000 maximum
obtainable under the plan for the
modernization of private homes.
They worked wonders on the old
house, whose good basic conStruc-
ton, the couple had, Of course,
aScertained before buying.
The house boosted a living
room and den but neither room
was large. BY knocking out walls
and doing away with a small hall,
a room approximately 1920 feet
was obtained. The stairs to the
upper floors went up from this
room. The inefficient fireplace
was rebuilt and now blazing logs
warm heart and body of the
rooms occupants.
Decorative Details
One side of the room was
paneled in pine and the eroded
brick of the original fireplace was
replaced by new red brick. The
remaining walls of the room were
papered with typical American
pattern-dull, terra Gotta leaves
on a cream background.
Glass doors were placed at the
entrance to what had been back
hall and which the new owners
choose to use as a main entrance
to their house. A door from the
living room, which was the orig
inal main entrance, leads to a
terrace and the visitor approaches
by a flagstone path leading to
the side door. This obviates the
annoyance of the casual caller ar
irving in the middle Of a family
conference in the living room.
The small-paned windows were

WHITE MORE

The old is new as white MORE
is high-lighted as an important
fabric for wedding gowns. A
lovely gown, in rich white MORE,
is done on nodded lines with a
long train. The sleeves are puffed
and draped from the shoulder
and there is a ruching at the
neckline.

SMART SUIT

Shadows gather and late after.
Moons find smart women gathered
at fashionable hotels and restau-
rants. A street-length suit, on
two-piece lines, is fashioned OF
chartreuse and silver silk lame.
It has tiny buttons down the
tight little bodice and there is a
wide, stitched velveteen belt in

Of evening coat can be ordered
either in precious ermine or in
BACKED white lapin. The model,
a swagger coat, has tuxedo revers,
a plastron front and a jeweled
clip for fastening.

Since you did not resume your
maiden name after your divorce,
you should use the Mrs. when ap'

No. AS a matter of fact it is
excellent form for a bride to wear

the sender for the thoughtfulness,
and then she chats informally and
