SUGARLESS ICING;
'OLD-FASHIONED' COFFEE
CAKE?
From Mrs. M. L. r., Washington.
/ have read RICH with great in
tercst for the year that Washington
has been my home and am very
glad that at least I can contribute
to its wealth of household helps.
To the reader who requested a
sugarless icing, / am offering my
time tested recipe.
Combine and blend: Two egg
whites and ! cup light corn sirup.
Place over boiling water. Beat con-
stantly with rotary beater 9 to II
minutes, or until mixture holds stiff
peaks. Remove from heat. Beat in:
/ teaspoon of vanilla extract, few
drops mint flavoring or oil of pep
|permint and few drops red food
coloring Makes enough to fill and
frost two 3-inch or 9-inch layers. /"
The coloring and flavoring may
be varied or omitted altogether. The
two yolks OF eggs remaining may
often be substituted for one of the
eggs In the cake recipe. AS a
working wife, I find that this use
of the yolks is more economical
when time is limited and I can
not make something else" to use
them.
I should like to see recipe for
"oId-fashioned" coffee cake.

SWEATER PATTERN2
FROZEN DESSERT.
From Mrs. F. II. H., BerWyn.)
I'd appreciate some help in To-
eating knitting pattern for an
infants sweater in coat length Cor
shall I just add a few inches to a
regular sweater pattern?), and also
for an infants sleeveless sweater
which crosses over the chest and
buttons at each side, similar to a
shawl arrangement but not the
usual shoulderette. I saw 1t about
four years ago in a popular pattern
book.
May I suggest this simple frozen
dessert that always makes a hit?
Add sugar and vanilla to one-half
pint whipped cream. Make alter
nate layers of the cream and choco-
late crackers, bottom and top lay
ers being cream. Put in freezer
section at regular refrigerator tenn
perature and serve after about six
hours, at least. I'm experimenting
on stepping up the time by crum
bling the crackers. I've also tried
it with graham crackers spread with
apple butter and find it delicious
and not too sweet If the layers of
cream are rather thick.

TRANSFERRING FEATHERS.
From Mrs. G. NJ. R., Wdshington)
Mrs. J. X. MEG, Arlington: In
answer to your note in the RICH
with regard to emptying your feath-
ers from a mattress to pillows, rip
your mattress tick as long as the
opening of your pillow tick. Then
whip the tick to your mattress tick
on each side. Be as careful as you
can not to let any feathers come
out. A razor blade is nice to rip
the threads.
When sewed, hold your mattress
tick up by the corner you have
ripped and push your feathers in
your pillow. Take this to the cellar
to do if you have one. You will find
this very simple. Have your needles
and thread ready before you start
ripping as any jarring will make
the feathers and down fly. I trust
you will find this easy. Tie dust
cloth over your hair.
(From Mrs. A. S. j., Greenbelt.)
Use vacuum cleaner to transfer
feathers from feather mattress to
pillow tick. Draw them into the
bag. Then blow them into the pill
low tick. One tick is all you need
If 1t is feather proof.
