Children
TOCOOk
Family Treasures
Include Recipes
Of Generations
BY ANGELO PATRI.

One OF the most precious pos
sessions Of bride is the copy she
has of the family cookbook 1t is
not one that is bought at a shop.
1t is a sturdy blankbook, usually
looseleaf, carefully indexed, in which
have been entered the recipes that
the family has used and liked for
generations.
There is something in this book
that goes beyond the listed ingredi-
ents of the dishes. The flavor and
taste Of home and family are in it,
memories of delightful occasions
when the host of relatives gathered
round one table to celebrate some
high occasion, such as the 50th an
nlVersary of the old folks wedding,
or the marriage of the last and
youngest one of all. There is laugh
ter and the sound of beloved voices
in 1t and hopes and griefs and de-
slres and ambitions All of family
living that ever drifted across the
table has left its traces in this book.
Boys as we'll as girls enjoy cook
Ing. All the urge children need to
take turn at the stove is clear
way to it. Encourage them in the
least and they go to it with enthu-
slasm worthy of good cause. 1t
is then that they start their cook
DOCKS. Give them the cover, a few
sheets OF paper and a dose of en-
couragement and say, Begin"
AS they grow older and the cook
ing becomes more complicated and
the dishes more festive in character
they begin searching for special
recipes. Now is the time to bring
out the family treasures. Grand
mothers fruitcake for Christmas,
Aunt Susans baked beans for
thanksgiving, mothers pancakes for
Halloween. There is romance and
history in these old recipes. and they
lend a charm to the dishes to which
youth responds like a duck to water.
exchanging recipes is as pleasant
pastlme as collecting and eX-
changing stamps. and much cheaper.
Old recipes that pass from hand to
hand in friendly generosity cost
nothing but the kindness and under
standing that prompted the gifts.
ana they do gladden. the hearts of
those who get them.
This whole matter came up when
bride was entertaining an old
aunt who was great cook.
Said Auntie Sprague, I'D give a
lot II 1 had your grandmother
rules for suet pudding with raisins.
I've tried to make it dozen times
but l don't quite get it. Hers was
dry and crumbly and as light as
log, and it tasted like heavenly
mama. My, I'd like to have that
rule" and she sighed as one who
rellnquishes a treasured dream.
That would be Grandmother
Hills, wouldn't it? Why, I have
that rule in my family cookbook"
and out came the book resplendent
in plaid oilcloth, full of beautifully
hand-printed recipes, each with its
historical background in its place
OF honor. Here it is. I'll copy it
for you gladly"
Just think of the fun of having
recipe your granoaunt was look
ing for, right in your own book.
directly from grandmother herself.
Things like old cooking recipes, old
quilts, old china, shaWls and foot
stools make family rich in back
ground, loyalty and affection. Why
not begin cookbook as a hobby
expression for the children?

of Hands
When Doing
Any Work
Gloves for Every
Household Duty
Work Wonders
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Fay Holden, who has almost lost
her legal identity by playing Ma
Hardy roles for the films, is very
definitely Ma" at heart. Fay
is a home girl, and she frankly
admits that she adores woman's work
about a house-and gardening is
her chief hobby. She understands
the beauty problems of a housewife,
and she must keep ever attractive
in case the studio calls!
Says Fay: 1T takes minor in
vestment of money in the beginning
but every housewife who is interested
in keeping her hands attractive can
do sol I garden and do housework
and cook so I'm not preaching what
l do not practice!"
For dishWashing she wears rubber
gloves and frequently anoints her
hands with lotion or cream, which
she keeps right handy in the kitchen,
before she draws on the gloves.
The heat of the water and suction
of the gloves conspire to give her
hands thorough amounting and
massage while she is getting the
china washed!
When making salads or preparing
vegetables. the efficient Fay Holden
wears rubber caps on her fingers.
She buys them by the dozen, and
they protect her long nails and
polish.
Being a thrifty soul, too, Fay
stacks lemon rinds and pounces on
them to use as skin bleach when
ever she washes her hands. That
is, she uses them to bleach when
her hands are not tanned. She
simply abhores white hands if the
rest of the skin is darker.
Getting right down to vitals, FAY
just laughed when she was asked
how she kept her long, beautiful
nails from being Clipped or cracked
while her hands were so active.
First of ALL my diet is sane one.
I eat foods which do keep my nails
strong. If ever l get too tired from
working at the studio, see that my
nails get painted twice a week with
that new lotion which strengthens
them. Many screen actresses use it.
Over it you apply your colored polish
as usual. Splitting nails are usually
caused by fatigue or faulty diet. but
few women will take the warning
and correct the cause. They like to
blame the condition on a nail polish
they are using or some other hand
aid"
If you had chance to peek into
Fay's utility closet you would see
wardrobe of gloves-gloves for gar
dening, gloves for busting, gloves for
washing dishes, gloves for driving.
And in her bedroom are cotton gloves
for night wear when she feels her
hands and cuticles need a special
treatment of cream or oil.
No wonder Fay Holden can enjoy
a housewives day and take off her
apron to hurry to the studio to be
a screen glamour mother! She
knows what little precautions pre-
vent those dishwashing hands we
read about!

Good Pine Spray
Very Helpful.
This is a good time of year to
stop using furniture polish and wax,
busting with a dry cloth instead.
That sticky touch and heavy odor
seem more intense in hot weather
and a clean surface of paint washed
with soap and water keeps furniture,
stair rails and other surfaces more
pleasant to the touch. A clean, cool

"Streamlined."
If you have arranged a spot for
outdoor dining. the problem of eat

If that is impossible, keep your
dining room "streamlined," with
tops of buffet and serving table
cleared of all but the absolute neces-
stiles. Shining table tops, snowy
white linen, white candles and the
deep green of foliage is still the
coolest effect that can be created
for summer dining. The food you
serve and the frosty glasses of iced
tea with bouquets of mint on the
top are very much part of the in
terror decoration of your dining
room and your eye will respond to

the fact that all the activities of
the household are slowed down
to relieve congestion, may be so
refreshing that the illusion of calm
and GOODNESS is created. Add to
this flowers, green grass, tree or
two in sight; long, cool drinks; light,
lazy clothes and time to relax and
life is suddenly made up of many
joys which you realize are within
your own power to create. Your
house can be just about anything
you make it, and there is no place
on earth where a woman has more
right to exercise her charm and
personality than in her own home,
