PLASTIC FURNITURE?
TINFOn?
DESSERT RECIPE.

fFrom Mrs. L. S.. Takona Park
would like more information
from Mrs. E. 8. of Arlington re
the plastic tables and furniture.
Also. do you know of any agency
that can use tin foil? I've been
collecting the inside wrappings
of dental X-rays for many months
and would like to dispose Of them
to a worthy cause.
Here is a favorite dessert recipe
which always makes a hit.
Sour Cream Jelly: Dissolve box
Of favored gelatin in IA cups
boiling hot water. Add " cup
juice Of a canned fruit pineapple
or fruit salad Is usually best
which Is to be used in the mold.
When cool, beat in u cup sour
cream. Pour in mold and freeze.
Serve on lettuce leaf, garnish with
whipped cream If desired. (The
addition Of shredded vegetables
(such as cabbage, apple. celery
and small amount of pineapple)
instead of fruit makes delicious
salad.
I've made the molds In rainbow
layers, using the plain gelatin top
and bottom layers and the sour
cream mixture in center. The
lattei. takes on a different
(thicker) consistency. As a top
layer it looks like layer Of ice
cream on the gelatin.

Reader" until this morning. I
quote the page.
THE TEMPEST.
We were crowded In the cabin;
Not a soul would dare to sleep;
II was midnight on the water.
And storm was on the deep.

For the stoutest held his breath.

But his little daughter whispered.
As she took his icy hand,
