and told reporters the almost in
credible obstacles he had to over

Miss Culley, sparkling-eyed,

After each appeal, which included

Prepare Mincenneut Now
By the Chef

If you want, you may, Of course,
buy your holiday mincemeat al
ready made in jars at the corner
store. But how much better is the
homemade product! I remember
so we'll the delicious aromas that
came stealing out Of Grandma's S
kitchen just about this time every
year-for Grandma belonged to

Gated long "ripening'' for mince-
meat to be at its best.
Here is the quantity" recipe
she used; from 1t came mince pies
and turnovers throughout all the
winter months.
Chop 3 pounds of lean beef fine,
and also chop fine 2 pounds Of
meat. Mix with 3 quarts of apples,
finely chopped, 3 pounds of seeded
raisins, chopped. 2 pounds of cur
rants. and / pound of citron cut in
small pieces. Add " cup Of can

cup of lemon juice. " cup orange
Juice, 2 tablespoons of salt, 4 cups
Of sugar, and q cup Of coffee.

Mix in 2 cups of cider, tea
spoon each of cloves, allspice and
cinnamon, and / cup of currant
jelly. Cook for 2 hours, and then
let cool. Add 3 cups of brandy and
l cup of sherry. turn into a crock,
and let stand for at least / week
in cool place. If wanted to keep
indefinitely I suggest sealing the
mincemeat in sterilized jars as a
good precaution, although Grand
ma always kept hers just in the
crock in the cellar. But farm
houses weren't kept so warm in
those days!!
Incidentally. an early version of
today's deep freeze: In Colonial
days New England housewives
often baked as many as so or
more pies at a time, and stacked
them in big jars. Then they stored
them in a shed where they would
freeze-and when q pie was want
ed it was thawed out in the "pie
cupboard" in the fireplace Chin

Why Grow Old?
Why Grow Old?
GROOMING Is Really inexpensive

Good grooming and daintiness
are two of the most important
/ factors in attractiveness. We just
expect woman to be this way,
and a slovenly woman is there
fore repulsive!
We read so many advertisements
and so many articles about this
that it seems one more would be
unnecessary, and yet we still see
many women who are careless in
such matters.
It doesn't take money to be
dainty but it does take constant
effort. The following list will al
low you to check yourself to see if
you may have become careless in
any of these small ways.
l.. Of course, the daily bath Is
taken for granted. In hot weather
two baths are better. Take one
tub bath and a shower. Use the
time in the tub for few minutes
of relaxation and for lubricating
the skin. Apply cold cream to
your face and neck before getting
into the tub. The heat from the
water will spur the penetration.
2. DO you use a deordorant regu-
larly? How often you should use
one depends on you individually,
the weather, and how active you
are. Most women need one daily,
but some find that three times a
week is enough. Be sure of this.
Sometimes this is more offensive
to others than to you.
3. Do you change the shields
in your clothes frequently?
4. Do you have superf1uous hair?
You cannot look we'll groomed to-
day If you do.
S. Are your nails we'll groomed
or do you 60 about with hang
nails and chipped polish I think
most Of us error sometimes with
Clipped nail polish.
6. Do you have shampoos often
enough? Perspiration in the hair
can be as offensive as when it is
under the arms.
Z. Do you arrange your hair
carefully and often enough? Wispy
hair can ruin the general effect.

Stepnoother's
Problem
By Angelo Potri

wrote here one day that a
stepmother's task was hard one
that somehow she must win over
the children to her side but that
did not know how that was to
be done. A stepmother wrote to
say that she had been a success
full stepmother and gave me some
hints on how she did it.
The first thing she did was to
say to the children, your father
is lonely. He has nobody to cook
for him, nobody to mend his
clothes, keep his home and look
latter you children. He has asked
me to take on this responsibility
and because I am very fond of
him I have said I would pro-
vided you were willing to have
me do so. It's up to you now.
II you want me to come as your
mother, all right. If you do not
I will go out of your life and stay
out"
The children agreed to have
her come. Once she was settled
in the home she told them, II
shall expect you to treat me ex-
actly as I treat you. Do to me as
I do to you. If you do that we
will get along all right"
She kept to her bargain and
the children, in time, understood
and went along with her. Some
times they forgot, being children.
but when the error was pointed
out they corrected it without too
much fuss. In time they forgot
she was stepmother and claimed
all her love and care as they
would have of their first mother.
Gaining the goodwill of the
children should be the first step
always. I agree with this mother
that unless the children are will
ing. unless they see that there is
need and a place for this new
mother, she is not likely to win
them to her side.
This sometimes takes some wis
dom, some patience, even tireless
wooing. but If the mother-to-be
has the qualities that are re-
quired: affection for children as
children, a sense of children's
need for loyalty to an ideal, SYM
pathy for these children's loss, a
desire to make up to them for
that loss, she will. before too lone,
win them over.
The fathers part is not easy.
He. too. has a loyalty to his lost
wife. to his children, yet he needs
love, he needs companionship and

whom he sees in this stepmother-

EVEN THOUGH we've told
you before, we want to remind
you again that PORK is one of
the best buys in meats. This
hasn't been true for some time,
so we thought you might like
to be reminded again.
Time was, not so long ago,
when pork was in the luxury
class, and those of us who had
to budget to the last dime
couldn't afford it. But the
plentiful supply of pork this
year puts it back down in the
class where most of us can
enjoy it.

ness again. So many delight

Center Market City for them,
too. The beautiful yams and
sweet potatoes, for instance. A
bountiful crop Of potatoes, and
roast carrots are superb fare.
We like a tart relish with
our pork, and you've probably
canned some this summer. If
not, you can find it at Johnson
& Lancaster's stand. Apples
and apple sauce are perfect
go-togethers with pork.
And don't forget how de-
lightful pork chops are. If you
like them as well as Lii Abner,
you probably take pride in your

to say nothing that might make
them feel they were being forced

can be done but it is never easy.
