POUND CAKE:
AMBROSIA.
from Mrs. M. s.. Washington.)

tFfOm Mrs. M. s., WGSttngton.)
Perhaps the cake Mrs. j. H. of
Alexandria asks about is old
fashioned pound cake: One pound
butter, l pound sugar creamed
well and then creamed some more.
Add IL egg yolks beaten until
almost white. l pound of flour,
IL very stiff egg whites.
You can add a grating of nut
meg and teaspoon of<vanilla. or
instead 3 teaspoons good brandy
and a little mace. This cake is
usually served without icing. but
sometimes a little orange or lemon
peel is grated over the top. It's
wonderful rich flavor is supposed
to come just from good butter,
good eggs, much beating and care
full baking.
Now that Christmas is almost
here, many people will be plan
ming to serve ambrosia. Actually,
it is as delightful and foolproof,
a dessert in July as in December,
for it is simply mixture of fresh
oranges, fresh pineapple and
freshly grated coconut. with sugar
to taste, according to sweetness
of the fruits. It would be just
about impossible to ruin such a
mixture, but if you want to serve
it in the old Southern tradition.
you must remember that it is def,
nitely a spoon food. There must
be no shapely piece of fruit, but
simply a very juicy mass.
Two hundred years ago it was
a very great treat to have these
fresh fruits in the middle of
winter. Nowadays, it can be deli
cious even if one or more of the
ingredients comes from a can,
but it will not have the same tang.
Properly, it should ripen and
blend at least "a hours in a cool
place before it is eaten. Vitamins
may be lost, but flavor will be
gained.
For holiday entertaining we
used to have a big bowl of eggnog
at one end of the table and an
equally big bowl of ambrosia at
the other end, with plates of
fruit cakes and pound cake in be-
tween. Millions of calories and
wonderful memories!

MOTEBALL CENTERPIECE?

This is my first request of RICH
although I have followed your
suggestions and recipes and have
been so pleased with all. Can any
kind reader tell me what liquid is
added to a dish of artificial flow
ers, placed in water, and moth
balls?
This liquid makes the moth
balls bob up and down. slowly,
and it makes a wonderful and

cover just what liquid is added.
Thank you.

OYSTER STEW.
From Mrs. E. M. L.. Alexandra

(Fronl Mrs. E. M. L.. Alexandria,
For S. j. H., Arlington: A good
oyster stew requires that you do
not leave it a second after its
preparation is started. and don't
start it until you are ready to
eat it. Having it stand is what
causes the skin on the top. This
recipe will serve two generous or
three smaller portions.
Put u pint oysters and a little
salt in a small saucepan. In
another pan, put a pint of milk
or somewhat less if the oysters
have much liquor. Add table
spoon of margarine, salt and dash
of pepper. Place both pans over
low heat. Cook the oysters just
until they frill around the edges.
Heat the milk until it is just
below the boiling point. the point
where it beads around the edge of
the pan. Have the soup dishes
warm and place the oysters in
each. Then add the warm milk.
The only blending is done in the
dish and that is the secret of a
good oyster stew.

WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

fFrom Mrs. J. r. B., ArlingtonJ
To Mrs. S. w., Arlington: was
interested in your item on the
golden wedding celebration, it is
a special day and should by all
means be observed. My folks
celebrated theirs in '43, they too,
live a distance away in a small
town.
Be sure you have a guestbook
for each caller to sign. I hired
a local man to take snapshots of
my folks and of our immediate
family. This was done earlier In
the day out of doors. Open house
can be held in two shifts, from
to 4::30 pm. and from to 9 pm.
You might have local ladies,
maybe through their church. bake
angel foods and frost with yellow
icing, get trays from some organi-
zation, serve a slice of cake, a
small saucer of ice cream, yellow
mints and coffee. People come
and go so the house would not be
too crowded or some relations
could fix up the trays and maybe
youngsters serve them. The paper
napkins could have the names and
dates on them printed at small
cost. MARY Jones and Bill Smith,
married January /, 1900"
Just insert small notice in local
newspaper. "Open house. Mr.. and
Mrs. are celebrating their
golden wedding anniversary on
January l and they invite their
friends and relatives to call be-
tween the hours of 2 and 4 or Z
and 9 pm"
If you feel the relatives want to
be more active, why not have a
pot-luck buffet supper between
$50 and $50 pm. Plan a menu
and tell each what to bring.
Postal cards could be written for
these arrangements. If they want
ed to donate something to your
folks. why not suggest each family
giving paper money and this could
be made into a huge corsage or
table boquet with lots Of yellow
crepe paper for trim. Set the
whole thing in a yellow vase.
There should be basket of yellow
NUNS sitting somewhere maybe
your own gift and your brothers.
One or more of the younger
relatives could meet the people
at the door to take coats, hats,
ETC.. and get them when the
guests leave. Another should be
sure that every one signs the
guestbook. 1t should be a merry
day and I hope it will be.
For my folks, I made a huge
scrapbook, which began way back
when Dad was counting Nom. I
went through the old pictures and
found all I could about their So
cial and religious activities
through the years. Put the old
marriage certificate in it, snap
shots of their home at various
times. in fact every thing I could
find. Found stork pictures and
told of the arrival of the children
as to the hour of the day, the
doctor and nurse, the weight, etc.
It was fun. I keep adding to it
each time I'm home as there are
activities and pictures to add to
the history. Some day it will be
a treasure. Good luck.

My wife insists it's not etiquette
to put gravy on potatoes, par
ticularly when out somewhere. I
respect my wife's judgment ex-
cept in some of these matters.
What's her basis for this edict?
COR since she quotes you, I should
perhaps ask you what's yours9
Answer: I can't tell you why,
but it is rule of etiquette not to
pour gravy over potatoes, making
a little lake in the middle of them.
Therefore, when out among peo-
pie who are likely to be critical
it is best to restrain this impulse.
