A cake in time saves nine days of explanation. So if you have let time slip by without making your Christ- mas fruit cake, better do little mixing in the morning and all will be forgiven. These two recipes are rather easy and therefore won't take all day for preparation. They are last-miunte cakes and call to mind, once they are tasted the biblical warning that "the last shall be first"
 Quick Fruit Cake
 One-half cup shortening, cup brown sugar 1 egg, cup niince meat, 1-2 cup milk 2 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking powder, Id teaspoon cloves 1.4 teaspoon cin- namon, IA teaspoon salt, 1-4 cup chopped nuts l-4 cup chopped candied fruits.
 Cream shortening and gradual. ly add sugar. Cream again. Beat egg, add and beat well. Add mince meat and beat well. Sift dry ingredients together. Add al- ternately with milk to nnince meat mixture. Fold in chopped nuts and fruits. Grease loaf pan line with reased paper and turn in cake. Bake in moderate oven (325 degrees F) for 1 1-2 hours.
 The Yankees always were re- sourceful. When a good Yankee housewife had been delayed in making her regulation fruit cake, she'd turn out one of these deli- cious substitutes.
