RECIPES OFFERED,
from Mrs. c. M. T., Washington. ]
It would hardly do to write a first
letter to RICH without adding my
voice to the chorus of praises 1t sc
receives with every mail
I keep hoping it will soon appear In
the Sunday paper, too, double size
As it is, I guess I've already clipped
more recipes than I'll be able to try
out the rest OF my natural life!
For A. E. Y. Of Washington, who
asked for a dessert made with pine
apple, marshmallows, whipping
cream, topped with graham cracker
crumbs, the following from Bette,
Homes and Gardens" may fill the
bill until the lost recipe can be re-
covered:
Fluffy Pineapple Pie: One IA.
ounce can d2s cups crushed pine
apple, 2 tablespoons sugar, 3 table
spoons flour, q cup sirup from,
pineapple. beaten egg, II
marshmsllows, quartered, u CUP
heavy cream, whipped. Drain pine
apple. Mix sugar, flour. and dash
If salt; add pineapple sirup, blend
Cook over low heat until thick. Add
. little to egg. stir into remaining
1ot mixture; cook until thick. Add
narshmallows; stir until melted
Add drained pineapple; chill 1 hour
Fold in whipped cream; pour into
,-inch pie pan lined with y cup
1anilla wafer crumbs mixed with
tablespoons melted butter and II
whole waters upright. Chill 80
minutes. Il have used this recipe
a graham cracker crust
or vanilla waters and using II cup
.offee cream instead OF whipping
cream, and it is super delicious. The
of the filling is such
hat I'm sure 1t would be equally
satisfactory to pour it into sherbet
fishes or custard cups and top with
,raham cracker crumbs)
For Mrs. B. E. S. of Washington,
he following recipe, also from
Setter Homes and Gardens may be
he eggless, butterless, milkless
,pice cake she Is seeking.

ihortening. l cup brown or granu-
ated sugar, IL cups raisins, IL
ups water, 2 cups enriched flour,
"a teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons baking
Il teaspoon soda, l tea
;poon cinnamon, " teaspoon cloves.
Z teaspoon nutmeg, "a teaspoon
mace, / teaspoon vanilla extract, a
up chopped California walnut
meats. Combine shortening, sugar,
'aisins, sifted dry ingredients; mix
thoroughly. Add vanilla and nut
meats. Pour into waxed paper
med AZ by 8A inch loaf pan. Bake
n moderate oven $50 degrees / hour.
Keeps well-grand for lunch boxes.
This recipe I have not tried, but
low that I have copied 1t, 1t sounds
rood enough that I think shall!
