APRICOT SOUFFLE:
SHIRT SAVER.
(Fronl Mrs. H. S. L., Silver Spring. J
| do not believe I have sent you
this recipe before. Now that april
cots, dried, can be bought again,
hope it is liked by the readers as
much as it Is by my own family.
Apricot Souffle: One pound dried
aprlcots, wash, cover with water and
simmer until the water is practi-
cally cooked out and the apricots
are very tender. Has to be stirred
constantly when water is low to keep
from burning. The apricots are al
most dry, not sauce Press through
colander, add l cup sugar. Cool,
add beaten whites eggs. Keep
cool until serving time. Over this
serve thin custard which makes
sauce. Custard sauce: One pint
milk, 2 egg yolks Cleft from first
part), 3 tablespoons sugar, IL table,
spoons cornstarch, u teaspoon salt,
l teaspoon vanilla, added after re-
moving from fire. Either cook in
a double boiler or over medium
flame, stirring constantly.
Since mems shirts are so scarce,
those with worn collars can be SAL
vaged. Carefully rip out the collar,
turn the wrong side to the outside,
baSte and sew once on the sewing
machine as was done originally,
then baste and stitch again. The
worn part of the collar Is then inside
where 1t does not show or scratch
the neck and a few months are
added to the life of the shirt.
COMMENTS.
From Mrs. R. L. G., Washington J
Mrs. l.. M. M. may I sing your
praises! Your suggestions on child
feeding are truly wonderful. After
seeing so many letters on keeping
the baby on the bottle until he is 2
or even years old, I had begun to
feel almost ashamed to admit that
my baby was given the cup at six
months and I was able to pack the
bottles away at seven months. When
the pediatrician first suggested it,
wondered how it would work out.
AS he predicted, she drank more
milk than ever, and by being able
to drink milk between foods, her
food tasted better and she ate more
Next time, I, too, plan on Offering
the cup sooner and am encouraged
to know it has been done as early
as six weeks. One more suggestion
would add to yours would be to
offer the baby his first orange Juice
and water from a cup rather than
from a teaspoon or bottle. Several
OF my friends have done this with
encouraging success. When I was
teaching my baby to drink from the
cup and having some difficulty with
1t coming out the sides of her
mouth, among the many helpful
answers to my plea in the RCH, one
lady gave me the address of a
canned milk company that sold a
weaving cup" for Is cents. It took
me a year to receive mine and to a
recent inquiry for a second one, they
told me they have suspended TAX
ing orders for them for the present
due to inability to fill previous or
ders. Department stores or baby
shops may sell something similar,
though. 1t has modified lip on
1t that fits snugly in the baby,s
mouth.
To mothers of small children. Do
you make cinnamon pies" for your
Youngsters? Place the trimmings
from your pie crust in strips in
pan, spread with butter, sugar and
cinnamon and place more strips on
top. Don't worry about how raggedv
they are, just put fat strips with
fat ones and thin strips with thin
ones. My mother used to let us
make our own pies when we were
ever so small. We swelled UP with
pride when they came out of the
oven. 1t was a start in giving us
a real interest in cooking, half the
battle OF doing a good job.

r1es, but they do not seem to have it
