Boredom Is
Appetizer

I have had a theory for a long
time that lots Of persons, espe-
cially women, eat too much be-
cause they are bored. More than
one woman has piled up the
pounds by comforting herself on
rainy, depressing days with a good
book and box of chocolates.
I seldom have been bored. and
never for long periods, but I
know from personal experience.
that a little snack Of something or
other is most comforting when
you are at loose ends!!
This is very apt to be true of
women who are in the house
much of the time. It's the most
natural thing in the world for the
woman who has just finished her
house work and baking. to decide
to try a piece Of the pie she has
made while she relaxes.
One Of the very first things, not
only in vibrant living, but in re-
ducing, is to keep busy and inter-
ested. If you actually are inter-
ested all day long you will forget
food much more easily than II you
are bored and restless. y. l.

To Dessert
OfFMiB

The list OF ine quality canned
fruits is almost as large as that
OF fresh fruits. Such fruits AZ
peaches. apricots. cherries, grape
fruit and pineapple need no
treatment other than chilling
for serving, They are delicious
in combination with each other
or with fresh oranges.
The addition of sherry. brandy
or a cordial, such as cointreau or
Benedictine. makes a dessert OF
an epicure's choice. The whole
canned apricots and peaches ar d
unpitted cherries have a special
tang Of their own. Canned april
cots halves are sometimes used
with baked ham TO which they
give both flavor and garnish. The
juice is used for basting while TIE
fruit itself is arranged on the
ham. About half an hour is long
enough to develop an attractive
glaze. Canned sour cherries as
we'll as peaches and apricots lnay
be used now that pineapple may
become scarce and these fruits
are often used in the preparation
Of an upside down cake which Is
served hot as a dessert. Sour
cherries are always . favorite In
the preparation Of deep-dish pies
