Looking a little bit ahead, we find
that May IA is Mothers Day, so if
you are so fortunate as to still have
your mother with you, start now
planning some special way that you
can pay homage to her on this day
set aside for that purpose. To many,
like myself, this is just day of
tender memories, for our dear moth
ers have preceded us into the great
beyond, but l like to feel that my
own precious mother is still look
ing down from heaven, watching
over me just as she, and your moth
ers, did all during their stay on this
earth.
If your mother is a busy house
wife she no doubt would like an
entire day free from household
chores. So pin a corsage on her
shoulder and take her out to church
and to dinner, and don't fail to tell
her before hand so she won't be
planning for dinner at home. Make
it a great day for Mother.
Maybe you would just like to
make mother a delicious cake for
this special day and here is one
she is sure to like.

You will want plenty of frosting
for this cake, so here is a recipe for
Seven-Minute Frosting
2 egg whites
112 cups sugar
112 teaspoons light corn syrup or,
"a teaspoon cream of tartar
70 cup cold water
Dash of salt
l teaspoon vanilla or other favoring
Place all ingredients, except flaw /
oring, in top of double boiler, mix
thoroughly. Cook over boiling wa
ter, beating constantly at high speed /
until mixture forms peaks, about 7 |
minutes. Remove from heat and /
hot water, add favoring and con-
tinue beating until right consistency
to spread. If desired you can add
a few drops of red food coloring
to make pink icing. But the white
cake is usually the favorite. Now
you can use your artistic abilities
by coloring small amount of the
icing and decorating the top of
cake with wreath around edges and
the word mother in the center.
Wait until the cake is cold to ice
it and for the decorating icing, that
must be very cold and stiff to hold
its shape.
Or maybe you know that mother /
is specially fond of chocolate cake,
so here is one made with brown SUI
gar for extra richness
