We all like desserts that taste
wonderful and look fancy but are
not too time consuming to prepare.
Ice cream, the all-American favor
ite, is a marvel when perched
jauntily atop cakes. pies and other
q la mode specialties. The best
part about ice cream Is that 1t
knows no season just as popu-
lar in winter as 1t Is on q sultry
summer day. This season Of the
year use 1t to top warm ginger
breads, fruit puddings and fruit
pies.
And here's new a la mode idea
you'll want to try -. mincemeat
triangles topped with ice cream.
The spicy triangles will be a
change from the usual mincemeat
pie plus the fact you won't have
to fuss with making a pastry
crust. The interesting flavor COM
bination will bring forth many
compliments, whether they are
served as a dinner dessert or a
midevening snack when you are
entertaining your canasta cronies.
Have you ever tried a mince-
meat sundae when you wanted a
less-rich dessert after a heavy
meal? You can heat the prepared
mincemeat just as it comes from
the package or it can be thinned
with a bit of water and stepped
up with lemon juice to heap on
top of a slice Of ice cream. 1t
makes a sundae new in the annals
of home entertaining, and one that
is sure to increase your reputa-
ton as a clever cook.
Still q third idea for this popu-
lar team is a mince pie brought
up to date. For convenience !
suggest you use one Of the pre-
pared pastry mixes. Roll the pas
try in the shape OF a circle and
cut in triangles and bake. The
pastry triangles can be baked the
day before you will use them II
that method fits into your sched-
ule to better advantage. There's
no soggy undercrust this way,

WhyGrow
Old?
BY Josephine Lowmon

Most of US think we have ade-
quate lighting in our homes. but
II we talk to experts in lighting.
we may find that we are making
errors which can be easily cor
rected.
Our eyes are 50 very important
to US that it behooveS us to learn
about correct lighting. Eye strain
can make you tired. it can cause
red lids and squirting lines. to
say nothing Of what 1t does to
those very valuable orbs through
which you see the world!
think the following rules
which my light company has given
me will be. helpful to you.
/. "Get good distribution Of
light throughout the room (for
better appearance and easier
seeing) by using ceiling and wall
fixtures and by using open-top
shades on your lamps.
2. use light-lined shades to get
the best possible reflection Of light
toward the seeing work and
throughout the room.
3. "A good lamp is q necessary
part of each furniture grouping
where the eyes are used. In gen.
eral, 1t should be placed not more
than "a inches away from the
seeing task.
I. Shade all bare lamp bulbs.
Unshaded bulbs can produce
harmful glare that hurts the eyes.
Besides that, they are wasteful
where downward light is desired.
5. BE sure your lamps meas
ure up to the right height and
that the shades are large enough
to give a good spread of light.
6. "Fill all empty sockets, so
that the light is ready when you
need it.
7. "Use the right sized lamp
bulbs for all your lamps and light
ing fixtures. Dimness and shad-
ows cause eye strain and possible
eye defects In the long rum"
I wonder how many men and
women have to wear glasses long
before they would have, because
Of years Of inadequate lighting.
and how many children are Gre
ating eye defects because Of It?
I imagine that the total would
be staggering.
Do not allow your children to
lie on the floor when studying,
or curl up In a dimly lighted
chair. Have them sit at a we'll
lighted desk for the good of their
eyes and their posture! Do the
same thing yourself.
