and all through the house"

otis the week after Christmas.
and all through the house
n Eft some real poet finish
these lines for which we glad
lily provide the theme, viz:
that the week after Christmas,
and between ii and the second
glamorous holiday Of New Years,
the homemaker is suffering from
a mild form of exhaustion and
should not attempt TO follow her
schedule of Housekeeping AS
Usual"
II is possible TO have too much
of even a good thing; and often
having the two most "feasting"
holidays of the entire year piled
up within seven days OF each
other, may, and does, present
dietary hazards. They do bring
excitement, interruptions, and
DELAYED meal hours into the most
smoothly running household ma
chinery No other holidays make
meal planning. cooking and serv-
ing so arduous.
What can be done so that the
homemaker can take IT all in her
stride, as it were, and not be-
come so tired out that IT re-
ouires almost half of the next
month to get the household back
TO normal?
First, take some fasting with
your feasting! 1t will be good
discipline, good regimen, and
save the homemaker's strength
10 serve simple meals.
BY fasting we do not adyo-
cate abstinence from food-by no
means! But we do offer the spg.
gestion TO make the meals 'on
the intervening days between the
two big holidays as plain and as
simple in form as possible.
To begin with. here's an ex-
cellent chance TO feature the one
dish meal. and little else. Why
not trot eHt-the soup tureen.
and make the whole meal of
soup, or chowder? If there are
few turkey or other poultry trim
mings left on the platter, turn
them right into the soup pot,
let il simmer while you work
cor preferably relax and call
the family 10 dinner TO enjoy a
grand tureen OF soup, crackers,
and some of the gay fruits still
remaining in the holiday fruit
basket. Nothing more,

ReStful Holidays for Mother T00/

Again, try a big bowl OF we'll
cooked rice. and offer with it a
choice of milk, butter, cinnamon,
honey, and a bowl of cut-up
fruits so that each person may
take his choice of accompani-
ment to it. Thousands. yes, mil
lions of other inhabitants of this
old globe. eat boiled rice every
day of their lives; we can eat 1T
during these holidays so that
both our stomachs and our host
ess may have rest.
Who said plain comm e al
mush Probably not many of
our readers of the present day;
but check history, and 1T will
be found that any number of
well-known men, and women too,
seemed TO thrive on a supper Of
cornmeal mush, or mush and
milk. And, frankly, it's a nota-
BILE dish!
kIAKE the cornmeal perfectly
WI smooth and well-salted; cook
IL long enough 10 avoid any sus-
picion of its being raw in taste;
have the consistency right[not
too soupy, not too dry-but a
thick, rich stirabout Of golden
deliciousness. Use as a generous
topping, top milk, or butter, or
maple syrup-but wait-it al
ready whets ones appetite mere
ly TO write about ii!
The mention of eating a sup
per consisting only Of some dish
like rice, or cornmeal mush. or
bread and milk, recalls a con-
versation the writer had with a
famous and rich man. At his
home table his guests were Of
fered every delicacy from soup
to nuts, while he was served a
large bowl of hot milk and
crackers.
Questioned as to this rather
strange contrast between his own
and his guests food, he replied:
Il like TO test myself in the
midst of plenty. Now / can
have everything I would like TO
eat But suppose fortune
was swept away Gas many have
BEEN what would it do 10 me
If ] could not adjust myself TO
sudden poverty? So. on several
nights a week, ] am served only
milk and bread, or rice and milk,
and picture myself with only this
one dish available. / find it good
discipline"
Many of us would do well TO
copy the practice of this remark
able man. especially in these
times.
IN many homes during this holi-
day interim, the homemaker
never knows Just how many per-
sons will sit down for any par
ticular meal In this uncertain
state, one clever woman follows
the plan Of not preparing any
thing until they all show up,
Then she has not wasted any
foods. nor is she disappointed
But how does she manage?
many WILL Instantly exclaim-
Well, as mentioned previously,
she relies on frozen foods, Of
which there are new varieties
being added every day: frozen
baked beans for one item, frozen
corned beef hash for another.
She buys these frozen products,
and keeps them ready in the re-
frigerator.
If two guests arrive. she opens
one portion; If many arrive she
opens packages as required.
