A whole baked ham, attractively
decorated and garnished. is the
standby of the homemaker who
wants to make dinner an occasion.
That Is one reason why ham has
become tradition in many homes
for Easter dinner. With ham an
economical point value many fami-
lies will be able to carry on the
custom this year.
For family reunion ham is a
delicious, easy and practical choice.
Even in homes where family re-
union is not planned an Easter ham
may be practical and possible. The
leftover portions of ham can be
used in many interesting ways that
extend the meat.
These are just a few of the posi-
bilities:
HAM IN RAISIN SAUCE.
Cook "a cup of raisins in 1 cup
of water. Add u cup brown sugar,
4 tablespoons vinegar, juice of /
lemon and a dash of ginger. Thicker
liquid with 2 teaspoons Of cornstarch
smoothed with cold water. Heat
slices of ham in sauce and serve.
HAM CROQUETTES.
Combine ground cooked ham with
a very thick white sauce. Form
into rolls. Chill. Roll in crumbs
and brown in drippings.
HAM LOAF.
Combine ground ham with soft
bread crumbs, beaten egg and milk.
Season with pepper, onion and
chopped parsley. Bake in a mod
crate oven / hour.
HAM SALAD.
Combine diced ham, shredded let
tuce, diced sweet pickles, celery and
sweet red peppers, mayonnaise and
prepared mustard. Chill. Serve on
crisp lettuce.
BAKED SMOKED HAM.
Place ham fat side up on a rack
in an open roasting pan. Make an
incision and insert meat thermom-
eter so that the center of the bulb
reaches the center of the largest
muscle. Be sure that the bulb does
not rest on either fat or bone. Do
not cover and do not add water.
Place in a slow oven 600 F. and
bake until done. Smoked ham is

onion, a dozen pepper corns and a
bay leaf to the baking pan and then
pouring in bottle Of beer. As the
meat roasts, haste often with the
liquid, adding more beer If it evapo-
rated too fast. A 5-pound shoulder
takes about two hours to roast and
is then served garnished with lemon

Dear Miss Dix: I am a. man OF
26, married three years.. have one
child, and I am bored to death with
marriage. My wife is a good wife
according to her lights and I am not
a philandering husband, or in love
with any one else, but I feel that
I cannot stand her any longer be-
cause she simply surfeits me with
affection and is so possessive that
I do not feel that my soul is my
own.
She tags me everywhere I go if
she possibly can and even tries to
drag me shopping with her. When
we are at home together, in addi-
ton to being in the same room at
the same time must kiss her every
Is minutes, or her feelings are
hurt. When we go out together,
I must devote myself exclusively to
her. If I ever forget and call her
by her name instead of honey"
or darling" she pouts.
This love-making is too much for
a tired businessman. My attempts
to carry on have worn me to a
FRAGILE. I have contracted matri-
monial govt. What shall T do?
HENPECKED HUSBAND.
Answer-Why don't you join the
Army? 1t seems to me that is the
best way out for you. because your
ever loving spouse can't follow you
across the seas, and after such a
steady and prolonged diet of kisses
you will probably relish a few bullets.
1t is a curious thing that al
though love is the chief business
with women in life they seem to
learn so little about it from a prac-
tical, working standpoint. They
rarely find out that men want their
love rationed. They crave a little
of it, but when a woman begins
stuffing it down their Threats morn
ing, noon and night they get so fed
up on it that they lose their taste
for it completely.
Many wife thinks that the way
to keep her husband Is to cut him
of from all other interests and
people. She has the insane idea
that she must be all-in-all to
him. She makes him give up his
old friends, never step out with
out her, not even read the evening
paper, but put in the whole time
telling her how beautiful and Won
dertul she is, and how he adores her.
And she doesn't realize that all this
perpetual love-making bores him to
death, and that when she insists
on being petted he wishes he had
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1944-04-03

the nerve to bite her instead OF kiss
her. There is nothing easier to
overdo than loving.
Dear Miss DIX: I am the ex-wife
of doctor. He was very good to
me, but due to my insane jealousy
of his women patients he divorced
me two years ago. We have four
lovely children and although I tell
them that their father doesn't care
for them and that they can get
along without him, I feel that they
need him. I love him very much.
but am of very jealous nature.
Do you think there is any way
that I could win him back and that
we could be happy together?
HEARTBROKEN Elk.
Answer: The only chance you
would have of getting your husband
to remarry you would be through
the children and you are weakening
that by prejudicing them against
him. When we hear of a couple be-
ing divorced and the mother being
given the custody of the children,
we seldom stop to think of what a
heart wrench it is to the man who
must give up the youngsters who
are bone of his bone and flesh and
the very core of his heart.
You are making a big mistake
when you let your jealousy, even of
your own children, make you alien
ate them from their father. If he
comes back to you, it will be their
hands that will draw him once more
into the matrimonial fold. 1t will
be because he longs for them and
wants to feel that he has some part
in their lives and to help them be-
come fine men and women.
If the children beg their father to
come back to them, he may do It,.
But | do not believe that any man
who has had to leave his wife be-
cause her groundless jealousy was
running his career ever goes back
to her of his own accord. He has
drunk too deeply of the bitter cup.

Round About the Home
