STRAWBERRIES;
MILK SHAKES. STAINS?
(ThankS to Mrs. S. L. NJ,
WdshinQton.l

Washington
Strawberries that will hold their
shape: Four cups strawberries, cups
sugar. Drain off all water from the
berries, add sugar, cook slowly until
boiling then let boil hard for min
utes. Pour into large platter and
leave for "a hours. Put in jars as
you do jelly. Strawberries cooked
this way do not turn dark, they
stay whole and bright red. Cooking
them only minutes you do not lose
the strong strawberry flavor and
they are almost too pretty to eat.
I have found that a good way to
get children to take their egg is to
put it in a milk shake, A banana
milk shake is very good for children.
Make from the powdered banana.
also use powdered coconut for milk
shakes. This powdered coconut
makes very good pies and cakes.
Could some one please tell me
how to remove milk stain from an
unpainted cement porch?

the title of one is Cricket on the

PIGGY-BACK PLANT:
WHIPPING CREAM.
(Thdnks to Mrs. L. M. c.,
Arliu0f0r1

Arlington.)
I wish I could tell Mrs. Q. b. b,
where she could get piggy-back
plant. My own was given to me,
coming from New York City. Once
luxuriant, it has dried up until there
is nothing but what I hope is still a
live root. I saw them for sale last
winter in 10-cent store in Connec-
ticut, so perhaps she could find one
here. Mine was started from one
leaf, placed in water SO that the
place where the leaf and stem join
is wet. New leaves and roots grow
from this place.
Perhaps I can be of more help to
those who lament the lack of whip
ping cream. I never bought any,
yet have always had all I wanted.
1t is necessary that my family
drink a quantity of milk, but they
prefer it without the cream. pour
off about a half cup of top milk from
each quart into a glass jar. When I
am ready to whip the cream, I draw
off the milk at the bottom with a
drinking straw. The remaining
cream whips easily if it is not too
fresh. I prefer it several days old,
at least. In warm weather I chill
the bowl before putting cream into
1t to whip.

Bus -Fekete has fashioned from
Werfel's novel. however, has an un-
fortunate way Of seeming to shy
away from the grandeur Of its
frame as peasant might become
numbed by fear on the steps of a
cathedral. The lovable Aunt Teta,
the religious servant woman of Wer-
fel's imagination, was not like this
in the original novel, nor does she
seem to be in Miss Barrymore's own
deep sense of her. but the play sup
ports neither of them in quite the
style to which their audiences have
become accustomed. 1t remains
possible, happily, that its made
quacies may be corrected, for even
last nights hardly polished presen-
tation had its limitations of play
to take to the heart despite the
carping of the mind.
Certainly Miss Barrymore's Aunt
Teta Is no character to lose without
a fight, one which she herself might
win single handed If that turns out
to be necessary. Here in the stars
65th year is latently one OF her
most endearing impersonatiOnS.
Aunt Teta is a peasant woman, an
untutored cooking genius who can
make masterpieces of the dullest
meats and vegetables. Most of all,
however. she is deeply a religeuse,
wondrously humorous figure in her
canny peasants sense that life is
to be spent buying her way into
heaven. In that, more than in her
culinary art, she Is not to be gain
said in the promptings which come
from inside her.
There are depths of poignance.
humor, sincerity and wisdom in the
character which Miss Barrymore is
patiently capable of finding with
some help from Mr.. Bus-Fekete and
B. Iden Payne in clearing away
stretches of awkward writing and di-
rection which cut her of at too
many disconcerting moments.
Somewhere in the undertoneS of
"Embezzled Heaven" one senses at
least an echo of the humanity
which was noted in Going My
Way" the years most lovable mo-

with heaven by sending her nephew
into the priesthood to pray for her
after her death.
If humanity Is less apparent in
the Vatican scene in which she
startles kindly Pope Plus XI by con-
Tossing that she was trapped by her
own cupidity, it is probably that the
majesty of the setting simply does
not lend itself to easy perception
of human frailty. This is the weak
spot in "Embezzled Heaven" and
the climax of play is no place for
its weakest moment. The Pope's
antechamber, after all. might have
made more fitting place in size
for the meeting between the visit
fully humorous old cook and the
understanding Holy Father.
X X
Aunt Teta's grapple with heaven
is fundamentally comic in its i'm
plications. 1t is definitely that in
the prologue in which she makes
a shrewd peasant deal with her
nephew to enter the priesthood at
her expense.
1t Is strikingly the flavor Of the
first act, Is years later in the amaz-
ing palace kitchen, where she bustles
through dinner for the Cardinal
of Prague in order TO rush of and
collect the fruits of her sacrifice,
or investment. namely home with
the nephew who says he has taken
a pastorate in the family's native
village.
Poignance is the mood of the
second act, the one in which the
aunt discovers that the scoundrelly
nephew, after mulcting her all those
years, had never become a priest at
all. but instead is operating as an
astrologer on cheap carnival cir
cult.
1t was the obvious intention to
combine the humor and wistfulness
OF the earlier areas of the play in
the third act. That is the one in
which a chastened Aunt Teta makes
the pilgrimage to Rome, to find out
II 1T is not possible to make a new
deal with heaven on a much more
honorable basis.
