Sinotro Irks
 Boston Fans

Boston, Nov. 27-(UP)-Boston's Bobby socks brigade was slightly incensed at Frank Sinatra today after trekking to Symphony Hall only to find that the swami of swoon had passed up a scheduled appearance with Arthur Fielder's Concert orchestra because of a sore throat.
 More voluble members of the teen-agers who demanded and re- ceived their money back at the box office contended that Sinatra had let them down by remaining in New York when he was scheduled for Boston appearance.
 Why didn't he come anyway" said one. He could have just stood there and played one of his records"
 Even without Sinatra, there was plenty of excitement. The tilted janies paraded up and down shout ing: We want Sinatra!"
 Promoter Suencer Fuller - soon almost as hoarse as his absent at- traction from answering the tele- PAAOAAC CAPIoA4lC0 OVC1 d4lO ONST that Sinatras sore throat was too serious for him to sing.
 We have an ironclad contract with Sinatra," he said. Tt provided that he be paid $5,0O0 for the con- cert, and it also provided that the promoters would be reimbursed if he didn't appear"
 Meanwhile Cinatra'S Neu vorlr representative shnounced all en- agreements are of temporarily and "the voice" will be taken to Palm Springs, Cal, for a rest.

arm, she makes with toothpick
in the soft dough and the marks
stay in right through the baking.
But roll the toothpick along. other
wise the dough tears.
Like human beings. gingerbread
people should be sweet and tender
- but strong. A good dough is
essential. Here's the Glenn recipe:
GinSszhesaA Ne.
teaspoon salt
n teaspoon nutmeg (optionaD
n teaspoon cloves
3 teaspoons cinnamon
teaspoon ginger
5 cups sifted -four
cup shortening
~ cups sugar
egg, well-beaten
cup light molasses
u cup hot water
~ teaspoons soda
Sift together salt, spices and
l cup of flour. Cream the shorten
ing, add sugar gradually, beating
until light and fluffy. Add egg,
then slightly warmed molasses.
Dissolve soda in hot water and
stir into the mixture. Don't beat,
stir - to avoid bubbles. Stir in
sifted -four and spice mixture grad
ually. Add remaining -four, cup
full at a time, just until dough is
soft and moist to the touch OF the
finger, but never, never sticky.
About 5 cups of -four usually
works perfectly but it may vary
slightly depending on the -four.
Chill the dough in the refrigerator
6 to 8 hours. Roll out small
amount at one time on lightly
Toured board. Roll dough to Is to
ID inch in thickness. Santa Claus,
donkeys, pigs and other fatties
look better thick-cut. Stars,
trees, angels are prettiest made
daintily thin.
When a cardboard pattern is
used, lay it on the rolled dough,
cutting around the outline with a
small, sharp-pointed knife. folding
back the outside dough as you
work. With a pancake turner.
transfer the figure to a creased
pan. Bake in a moderate oven
(35OoF.) about 8 to 10 minutes.
Yield: rs to 100 figures, depending
on size. Rack the cookies to cool
and dry before adding the fancy
decorations. Use a seven-minute
icing and work with but a table
spoonful at a time so crystals
won't form. Add least bit of pow
dered sugar to hasten the drying.

Today Irene Glenn sells all the

Wooden Patterns
IRENE used paper patterns in the

vide the picture people; these are
carbon-paper-traced to the wood.
Silhouettes work best when it
comes to the decorating. Lines
which are to be accentuated with
icing - eyes, buttons, pockets -
should be drawn into the pattern,
as a memory aid.
