Many Delicious Breads and Cakes Cream
BY FRANCESCA MCKINNEY.

0y E6ANCESCA MCKINNEY.
OUR SCOUTS SUGGEST
Those who Ike fruit compete for
dessert should certainly have the
big crystal clear glass dish In the
shape Of a pineapple. The ideal
part Of this item is the fact that 1t
has a top, preventing cut fruit from
turning dark due to being exposed
to air. This bowl also has another
excellent use II you happen to have
q beau that sends you gardenias, for
they also turn dark from the air.
Put q little water in the bottom of
the dish, then your gardenias, and
place the top on carefully; you will
be amazed how long they will last :.
The all-purpose knife should GER
tainly be a welcome addition to
your already large collection of
knives. This one has a section that
is extra sharp for peeling fruit while
the other section is notched for cut
ting soft fruit so 1t won't be squeezed
out Of shape. -.
A gadget that will be very useful
on the hors d'oeuvre tray to keep
your fingers from getting soiled con-
sists Of a pair Of metal tongs for
lifting canapes of the tray onto the
plate.
Many will be glad to learn that
the old-fashioned type of doll, with
china head, arms and legs and the
saw-dust body may once again be
purchased. They are Just like the
ones that grandmother played with
Get one Of these and dress her like
Scarlet O'Hara and give her to your
little girl; it will be one of her most
treasured possessions. 80.
The perfect lamp for the baby,s
room Is made Of plaster, fashioned
IN the shape Of a sleepy tots head
The light from q tiny bulb shines
through the yawning mouth that is
shielded by the baby's hand. II
more light is necessary turn the
head away from the hand
Usually on glass jar caps there
is q little inscription TAP lightly to
open," and nine times out of ten
nothing happens until you have
done everything short of breaking
the glass. Finally the top comes
OF and by that time you have lost
your taste for the contents of the
jar. At last some one has come to
the rescue and has put on the
market glass jar opener made on
the principal of a famous can
opener. -.
Instead Of using the metal crumb
tray and brush for crumbing the
table before dessert is served, try
the latest type. known as 'crumb
sweeper" This is an miniature
carpet sweeper that couldn't be
cutter, and all crumbs disappear
with q few quick strokes over the
table.
For the card table top that looks
"a little the worse for wear" buy a
quilted cover that will fit neatly
over the top and sides and hide "a
multitude Of SINS" Use one side
when playing cards and then turn
to the other when ready to serve
refreshments. <@f
II you are In the habit of sending
airmail letters to your sweetheart,
here is fine Easter present to give
him or her. A silver cigarette case
has an airmail stamp done In
colored enamel, and the post mark
circle can be engraved with the
name of your city and the date. The
name and address in your own
handwriting will be transferred to
the case, giving that personal touch
to your gift. >.

of roll--invented and named in
memory Of that famous Mother
Goose character, Little Jack Horner.
You will remember that, while sit
ting in a corner. this young man
accomplished the "feat" of extract
ing plum from his Christmas pie
with his thumb. He was pretty set
up about the whole thing. and
patted himself verbally on the back
in consequence.
It has long been a source of child
ish interest as to what the plum
actually was. Most of us have &C
cepted our elders decision that it
was no more nor less than an extra
fat raisin-but some of us have re-
manned skeptical. And now we
have new version of that Christ
mas pie" which contains what
would seem to be the real plum
itself-a fat, cooked, pitted prune.
Anyway, you will find that the
children will go for this delicious
and nourishing type of roll with ex-
ira glee when you tell them that
here, at last, is the true version of
Little Jack Horner's christmas pie. "
Although these rolls do not call for
Sour milk, we are giving you the
recipe today because we are so
pleased with it, and it seems to fit
into the general theme of the story.
Ice the rolls with a confectioner's
sugar frosting if you wish, and serve
them as after-school snacks with
mugs of milk for the youngsters
before they 60 out to play.

Must for
Family
Fiance
Duty of His Mother
Call at Once on
Mother of Girl
BY EMILY POST.

There is really only one must"
for the mans family as soon as
his engagement has been an
nounced. Which leaves me very
little to answer the somewhat upset
mother who writes: MY son has
recently become engaged. Knowing
that there are certainly many things
expected Of his family, realize that
I am completely uniformed be-
cause I can't think of any. How
ever, since this is the first engage
ment in our family, suppose I can
be forgiven. But nevertheless
should be enlightened"
This duty of the mans mother
Is to go at once and call upon the
mother of the girl. And then If
she chooses this is not an obliga-
ton, but it is usual, she and her
husband give a party of some sort
for their sons f1ancee. Or at least
they invite the members of their
family to dinner or to supper or to
tea to meet her. If the girl is q
stranger, a party for her would be
more of an obligation than If she
is young neighbor who is known
to all the relatives and friends-in
which case the invitation TO meet
her would mean merely that the
party is given in her honor.
Dear Mrs. Post: My fiance's young
aunt. is a well-known radio star
I have asked her to take part in
our wedding and she has consented.
Now somebody tells me that it would
have been much more f1attering had
I asked her to sing. I feel very
let down about this because I had
felt 1t rather cheeky to ask her to
sing, and had really hoped. she
would be pleased to know that it
was for herself and not for her
services as a singer that we want
her.
Answer-I think you are entirely
right in your reasoning. and agree
that asking her to sing would have
been asking too great a favor of
her-unless she had told her nephew
that she would like to sing for YOU.
AS 1t is, am sure she is pleased
to know that you wanted her to
be bridesmaid because you like her
for herself.
Dear Mrs. Post: Our daughtes has
surprised us by wearing an engage
ment ring. We had hoped they
would wait to decide this serious
question. because they won't be able
to marry for several yesrs anyway
But the ring is here and my daughter
walks around in trance these days,
radiantly happy. Since she's going
to wear the ring, do you think 1t
would be better that we announce
the engagement in the papers and
perhaps even give her a party? It
seems long time ahead to start the
drums beating.
Answer-Her friends will know. OF
course, If she wears her ring, but !
think If I were you would let that
be SUFFICIENT for the time being. Later
you can announce the definite date
for the wedding land give a party,
too, If you choose). On the other
hand, the question Of whether or
not to announce an engagement Sew
eral years before the wedding de-
pends solely upon the. individual
feelings OF your daughter and her
fiance. and your willingness to con-
sent to their engagement.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I would appreciate some advice
regarding my piano. It is mahog-
any, and when bought it the sales
man told me never to put polish on
1t, but merely to wipe it with soft
cloth. This I have never done, but
now it needs cleaning as there are
children's finger prints all over it.
Could you suggest some method Of
cleaning it?
NANCY w.
Answer-I wash my good mahogany
with soft cheesecloth dipped in mild,
warm soapsuds and wrung out al
most dry. Wash small area and
then dry Immediately and thorough
ly. Then use a good piano polish
which is sold in the piano shops,
and polish it well. Certainly the
polish recommended by the piano
manufacturers cannot hurt it, and
as furniture, it must be cleaned
regularly. Good furniture is hard to
hurt, and the care you take in doing
this job according to instructions
will give you good results.
