1 would also like to share our IA
yorite recipe for frozen custard
Four cups milk, l teaspoon corn
starch, heaping; 3 eggs, cup sugar
4 teapsoon vanilla. Cook as for
any custard and allow to become
cold before putting into refrigerator
Place in largest tray as this makes
more than most recipes. Set control
at coldest point. Stir after 20 min
utes, and every Is minutes thereafter
until stiff and mushy, about hours
This seems like a lot of work, but
the stirring is the secret Of its sue
cess. 1t will become hard otherwise
If desired, l cup Of crushed peaches
may be added after the custard be-
comes cold.
We especially like this custard
made into a refrigerator sandwich
cake. Line largest tray with wax
paper, put a layer OF cake, either
bought or homemade. generous
layer of custard frozen OF ice
cream, and another layer of cake
Cover with the wax paper and freeze
at coolest point 3 or 4 hours or make
1t the day before. We have kept ii
two days at medium cold. Slice
and serve with sliced fruit ano
whipped cream or plain.

Can any one tell me where may
obtain a plant I have heard called
only by the name "Flowering Fool,
but which is the daintiest of viney
plants, with small, pink blossoms at
Joint intervals all along the long
vine-like stems. These hang down
over the edge of the flower pot like
a brides shower bouquet. except
that the tiny flowers are pink. There
are either none at all, or only very
small leaves on the vines.

ICED TEA.
From Mrs. w. S. C., Washington.
Into a quart jar of cold water put
three or more tea balls (use more II
YOU like tea stronger). Put on the
lid and let 1t stand in the ice box
for three hours or more. This will
make delicious iced tea and does not
REQUIRE so many ice cubes and the
tea Is all ready and cold when you
want it, with very little trouble
Serve with lemon and sprigs of mint
if available.
from Mrs. S. E. L, Washington
In answer to the request on how
to make good iced tea, this Is my
method. Use a good sized earthen-
ware teapot and use two tea balls OF
best quality tea. Have about a cur
and a half of water boiling hard ano
pour over the tea balls. Cover the
pot and let steep at least one-halt
hour. When ready to serve add ice
enough to fill the rest of teapot
Have plenty of lemon quarters and
ice on the table. We use one-quar-
ter grain saccharin, crushed, to each
large glass of tea. 1t is healthier
than sugar in hot weather and
tastes just as good in iced tea.
