Pleasing
 The Man
Glorify His Cake With
 Good Icing

The well-known sweet tooth of the
 man might be turned to the advan- tage of the cook in many ways, if only she would remember it.. :. es- pecially when need for economical menus arises.
 There may be nothing more at- tractive than croquetteS made from leftover meat, with escalloped to- matoes and mashed potatoes for the main course. But if the man spies a fine big layer cake in the back ground, he will consider that meal a feast.
 The cake must be ICED, however, with thick, smooth, creamy icing that is firm yet soft to the touch. No man works up much enthusiasm over plain cake, but every mothers son is moved to praise by a well-iced one.
 The cooks reward comes through knowing that the icing almost wholly of sugar and an inexpensive touch in itself-gives not only extra goodness, but adds miraculouSly to the energy value of the menu, for sugar is one of the best and quickest energy foods. The cake we so often consider luxury or an extra which comes at the end of a meal,in reality can be relied on to bolster up the light or simple menu and round out its food value in a very wholesome satisfying way.
 Much of our hesitation about hay ing cake as often as we'd like could be easily dismissed if we would con- slider it in this light. Make it a good cake, with plenty of frosting, plan the menu with it's high calorie con- tent in mind, and we need make no apologies to the pocketbook for its freuuent service.

SUMMER SALAD DRESSINGS
 Ry Betty Rarclay
By Betty Barclay

Many housewives know how to salads, but find themselves at a loss when deciding upon fitting dress ing gfor each one. This is unfor- unate, for good dressing adds much to the flavor of the dish. Here are recipes for two dressings that you will find particularly pleasing;
 Brabant Dressing
 Mix together the yolks of four eggs, one teaspoon mustard, one teaspoon salt, one tablespoon sugar, one teaspoon butter, four table spoons vinegar and a dash of red pepper. Cook in a double boiler until thick. Cool and then beat in one cup whipped cream and one cup chopped nut meats. This is deli cious salad dressing for fruit salad.
 Cream Dressing
 A cooked dressing made with cream will be found excellent for serving with vegetable, meat or fish salads. Mix together one-half table spoon salt, one-half tablespoon mus tard, three quarters tablespoon mus tard, three quarters tablespoon su- gar and one tablespoon flour. Then add the yolks of two eggs, beaten lightly, three tablespoons melted butter, three-quarters cup of cream or rich milk and one-quarter cup vinegar. Stir constantly in double boiler, cooking until the mixture be- comes thick. Strain and cool.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-06-11

these directions for its making and serve it for any special luncheon, dinner of supper menu, you will not fail to make that meal long remem- bered for this unusual course.
 Tomatoes Lily With Cucumber
 Select firm, perfect, fairly large tomatoes for this purpose and have them very cold. Wipe each care- fully with a damp cloth. Now take tomato in the hand, placing the stem end downward in the palm. With very sharp, thin -bladed vegetable knife, beginning at the center or blossom end which is up- permost, score downward over the skin to just about half of the to- mato, outlining sections that rad fate like the petals of water lily. Do this very lightly, so that you just cut through the skin, but do not cut into the meat beneath it.
 Now slip the knife under a section and gently loosen the skin so that each section can be pulled outward, away from the tomato, like the cur wing outer petals of flower. This will leave the top half of the to- mato peeled and ready to be scoop ed out in the center, while the skin sections are turned back in delicate pointed petals.
 Remove the meat as you would for stuffed tomato salad, let the tomato drain, and when ready to serve fill with finely chopped cu- cumber meat mixed with mayon- naise. Decorate the top with spot of the dressing and sprinkle with paprika. Place the tomato in nest of crisp lettuce leaves arrang- ed on a glass service plate, and send to the table, with mayannaise in crystal bowl served separately.
 For color combination, natural beauty and fine flavor, this is fancy salad that cannot be equalled.
 Another lily salad-but one more appropriate for luncheon or supper menus than for the wedding feast, is made by hollowing out half-heads of small lettuceS and filling the cavi-

First President Had
 Fondness For Butter
Diary Reveals George Washington Had Problem
 Securing Product-Pies Named After Martha

It must be remembered that dur ing Washington's time butter was used very generously as spread and in cooking. Some of the recipes for which Martha Washington is famous owe their deliciousness of flavor to the butter which is in- cluded in the ingredients. Here are several of these colonial recipes:
 Martha Washington Pie
 1-3 cup butter
 l cup sugar
 2 eggs
 1-2 cup milk
 l 3-4 cups flour
 1-2 tsp. salt
 21-2 tsp. baking powder
 Cream the butter until soft, add sugar gradually and well beaten eggs. Mix and sift flour. baking powder and salt and add alternate ly with milk to first mixture. Bake in two shallow tins well buttered 30 minutes in moderate oven. Put the following cream filling between layers and sprinkle the top pith powdered sugar For color a thin

layer of red jelly may be added to the top layer.
 Cream Filling
 3-4 cup sugar
 1-3 cup flour
 1-8 tsp. salt
 2 eggs
 2 cups scalded milk
 l tsp. vanilla
 1-2 tsp. lemon extract
 Mix dry ingredients, add slightly beaten eggs. Gradually pour scala double boiler and, stirring constant ly cook until mixture thickens. Cool and add flavoring.
 Indian Pudding
 1-2 cup cornmeal
 cups milk
 13 cup dark molasses
 1-2 tsp. salt
 2 tbsp. sugar
 1-4 tsp. ginger
 Scala the milk and stir in the cornmeal very gradually to avoid Jumping. Add the remaining ingre- dients after milk has thickened. Pour into a buttered baking dish and bake two hours in moderate over (300 degree F). Serve with cream.
 AS one scans colonial cook books, one often discovers strange names of dishes, unknown and unheard of in many parts of the country to- day. In studying the menus of Washington's day "flummery" and whipped "sillibubs" are frequently mentioned as the dessert. Flum- mery is form of blanc mange while whipped sillibubs is a beaten mixture of cream and sweet cider One popular Washington dish which is still favorite today is floating island pudding. A delicious recipe for this is the following:
 Floating Island
 2 egg yolks
 1 cup milk
 2 tbs sugar
 IA tsp. salt
 1-2 tsp. flavoring
 2 egg whites
 Scala milk in the top of a double boiler. Beat egg yolks slightly, add ing sugar and salt. Pour the milk over the egg mixture gradually. Re- turn to double boiler and cook until it thickens. Beat the egg whites un- til stiff. Add a tablespoon of sugar. Cook this meringue by dropping spoonfuls of it on pan of hot water and cook slowly until it is set. Put cust ard into serving glass es and place meringue on each one.
