STORING COOKIES:
OZARK PUDDING.
mrs. H. ", Bethesda

ton: The way to keep cookies
beautifully crisp is to store them
in an empty dry cereal box,
being careful to fold over care
fully the inner carton. I dis
covered this only recently, after
years of having cookies become
limp and soggy in cans.
Mrs. G. H. NJ, who requested
a recipe for Ozark pudding, the
following is attributed to Mrs.
Truman. I found it in an old
House and Garden magazine.
Beat one egg. If you use an
electric mixer, turn it to the
lowest speed and beat the egg
one minute. Gradually add "a
cup sugar, continuing to beat
the mixture until very smooth.
Set aside.
Measure 2 tablespoons flour,
Ia teaspoons baking powder,
and 70 teaspoon salt. Sift to-
gether and add to the egg sugar
mixture, stirring it in well. Add
u cup chopped raw apple, and
teaspoon vanilla. Generously
butter a 9-inch shallow pie
plate. Pour in pudding and
bake IS minutes at $50 degrees.
Serve with whipped cream or ice
cream. Delicious.

In answer to Mrs. US letter
I submit the complete poem,
IF I Should Die Tonight"
II should die tonight.
My friends would look upon my quiet
Before they laid it in its resting place,
And laying snow-white flowers against
Would smooth 1t down with fearful
And fold my hand with lingering caress.
Poor hands, so empty and so cold
II should die tonight.
MY friends would call to mind with
Some kindly deeds the icy hands had
Some gentle word the frozen lips had
brands on which the willing feet had
The memory Of my selfhshness and
My hasty words would al be put aside,
And so ! should be loHed and mourned
tonight.
If I should die tonight.
Zen hearts estranged would turn once
more to me.

And soften in the old familiar way.
conscious clay?
Oh. friends. pray tonight.
Keep not your kisses for my dead cold
The way is lonely. let me feel them now.
Think gently of me; am travel worn;
My faltering feet are pierced with many
Forgiye. oh. hearts estransed. forgive.
When dreamless rest is mine shall not
The tenderness for which long tonight.

CAR COVER.
Mrs. G. E. L., Arlington
j. L. E., Washington: I saw
these being used in Florida a
few years ago. but I heard that
they were not satisfactory, be-
cause they held the moisture
during the day and caused cars
to rust. The suns rays cannot
penetrate through the plastic.
OF course, the salty air in
Florida is of itself hard on cars.
1t seems to me that the very
fact that you see so few of them
used on cars serves to indicate
that they are impracticable.
Many, many cars stand on the
streets in this area sans covers.
