Well, maybe we are as foneh as the
other people who have to bear war,
death, and disaster. Certainly we

there are no reasons why w2 should

as \well face it.

WASTE for the duration and for
of wholesome ft wasted is an ounce that
someone needs: right~ at~ this- moment Tt is an ounce that you are
going to need, too, before this party is over. Again I would urge all
women~s organizaticns to, devote
more of their time to a study of

vital issues of the day. Bridge
clubs, sewing clubs, civic leagues,
sororities could all well afford to
provide the leadership~so urgently
needed at this time in acquainting
others with facts concerning price
trends, consumer information, diet
and health and se on and so forth.
~VHERE IS A LITTLE publication of the department of agriculture that I would like to call to
your attention, It is free from advertising and is not full of pretty
coloed pictures. Yet it is always
chock full of pertinent information
on the whole subject of food and
nutrition, It is called CONSUMEHS GUIDE and costs just 30
cents per year. I think there are
other publications by that same
name, but. this~ one is obtained
through the CONSUMER'S COUNSEL DIVISION, U S,. DEPT. OF

friends.

Holly Wreaths|.... One cup butter, one cup sugar, one egg, two
tablespoons evaporated milk, one
teaspoon vanilla, two and one half
cup flour, one scant teaspoon soda,
one scant teaspoon baking powder,
one fourth teaspoon salt.

Cream the butier anc sugar until
the sugar granuiea are dissolved.
Add the egg, milk and vanilla and
stir until thoroughly mixed. Sift
the flour, then measure it, and resift, with the soda, baking powder
and salt. Stir into the first mixture.
Chill the dough and then press it
through pastry tube, in the shape
of a holly*wreath, onto greased baking sheets. It takes a bit of artistry
to make a bone-fide holly wreath,
I grant you, but the general idea is
still very good and highly accepta-.
ble. Decorate the tops of the
wreaths with bits of angelica (this
is a crystallized~ decoration) and
candied cherries. Baked in a hot
oven for ten minutes. This recipe
will make about one dozen cookies.

Glace Fruits or Nuts~Make-a
syrup or two cups sugar, one cup
| Of water and two thirds cup of
| light corn syrup. Boil without stirring to the hard crack stag. Remove the saucepan from the fire
and put it into an outer pan of
boiling water to keep the syrup from
hardening. Drop in. small fruits or

ed, or nutmeats. Drop them in a
few at a time, skim out and place
on heavy waxed paper to dry.

Mincemeai Christmas Cookies ~
One nine ounce package of. dry
mincemeat, one half cup of water
boiled almost dry, one cup butter,
three fourths cup brown. sugar,
three fourths cup white sugar, ~two
eggs four cups flour, one -teaspoon
soda, one haif teaspoon salt, one
half cup nutmeats optional.

Break mincemea: into pieces. Add
water. Place over heat and stir until all lumps are thoroughly proken
up. Bring to brish boil, continue
boiling butter and add sugar. Beat
eggs slightly and blend with butter
mixture. Mix and sift flour, soda
and salt, Stir into butter mixture,
blending thoroughly. Fold cooked
mincemeat and chopped nutmeats
into mixture. Form in roll. Chilled
cookie sheet in a hot oven for ten
minutes.

Spread in a~ buttered pan, and when
it hardens, mark into squares....
unless you are covering the dates
with it, in which case you will have
the dates cut in half lengthwise.

Remove the pits and lay the

halves at intervals on a greased
dish. Drop a teaspoon of fuage on
each half date. It must be done
quickly to avoid letting the fudge
harden in the pan. ~The hardening
