to half the sugar called for in the
recipe. Corn sirup, too, may replace
up to one-quarter the sugar in jams

Don't plan on making sweet pickles

for little or no sugar, such as dills
and Saurkraut. OPA says in

confectioner's sugar on top. Or if
you have any spare egg whites. you
could make meringue of these
and bake it along with the cake on
one of the layers. In all you have
used less than one cup of sugar and
no shortening. Serve with plain or
whipped cream or ice cream.

cups of milk and cups OF cream.
Season to taste with salt and pep
per, let cool and then rub through
very fine strainer. When the soup
is cold, add cup Of the heaviest
cream you can find. Chill until al
most icy cold before serving and
then top each cupful with chopped
chives.
Then there's a cold buttermilk
soup with shrimp and dill that
sounds awful, but is really wonder-
full.
To make it. cook a pound of
shrimps-or use ready-cooked Or
canned ones-and chop them rather
fine Peel and dice a medium sized
cucumber. Mix the shrimp and the
cucumber with a tablespoon or so
Of minced fresh dill, a tablespoon of
prepared mustard, a teaspoon of
SAT-, teaspoon OF sugar ana little
freshly-ground black pepper Stir
into this quart of buttermilk and
set to chill thoroughly. This is one Of
the most cooling connections 1
know.
Canned black bean soup makes
fine cold starter for a meal. Leave
out the hard-boiled egg but season
it with a little sherry and put the
customary lemon slices in it, Be sure
it is good and cold.
You also can use canned aspara-
gus soup chilled but it needs pep
ping up with salt, black pepper and
a sprinkling of chopped watercress
or parsley on top.
These are just suggestions to start
you off-I'll have some more for
you later on.

SUGGESTIONS.
(From Mrs. N. w., Washington
l want to commend Mrs. c. L. T.
on her method of living with her
children while doing her housework
Life is too short to shut them up in
a room while you do your work
My experience was that Your work
is never done. so just when would
you get the fellowship which you
and they alike need?
My method of removing crease
spots which will not wash out is to
use any good commercial dry clean
er before you wash the hose. This
works as well on any other garment
such as napkins or house dresses.
To Mrs. r. r. c. l would suggest
that she throw the ounce Jelly
away. If it doesn't taste good alone
1T will spoil anything you would put
1T INTO. The pectin makes your
Jelly taste more of the fresh fruit
since you don't boil the jelly sc
much.
l have seen suggestions for stale
cake used instead of bread in bread
puddings. Why not cookies? OF
course, you wouldn't use as much
sugar and that would be nice, too!
