BRIDGE SALADS.
"SLOWPOKE" SON?
(From Mrs. J. II. NJ, Washington.)
For the lady from Harrisonburg
who wanted a new recipe for a salad
suitable for an evening bridge, here
is one I have used successfully and
it's so easy to make. Mix together
l cup crushed pineapple, 10-cent
size jar of maraschino cherries (cut
in small pieces and a scant table
spoons of sugar. Let this mixture
stand for one hour. Mix together
l package of cream cheese (small
size) with 3 tablespoons of salad
dressing or mayonnaise until mix
ture is smooth. To this add l cup
of cream whipped. Finally add fruit
and freeze. 1t will almost fill the
average size ice cube tray.
Can any one help me find a way
to remedy the slowness and pro-
crastination of my 5-year-old son
over every little task he has to do
for himself? If I don't keep remind
ing him I think he would take all
day to get dressed. wash himself,
get ready for meals, take of his
snowsuit, etc. I have tried every
thing, but nothing seems to induce
him to keep up with the world.
From Mrs. M. J. F., Washington.
