Autumn Months By MudBe Bares Statesman Woman's Kdltor We think of gingerbread and apples together, but peart go equally well with the cake. Either fresh of canned pear halves may be served as a dessert with the gingerbread. Some women put a alios of pear on the top of the gingerbread and finish off with lemon sauce. Another-autumn dish combines sweet potatoes and dried runes. Put layers of the potatoes, alternate with prunes in a bak lg dish.

Boil 1 cup raisins in cup water for about S minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir in a cup of currant (or other tart, red jelly) and some grated rind. Add a teaspoon dry mustard blended with a little of the jelly and heat welL Here's something different in topping for cakes and pud dings.

Boil dried apricots in wa ter to cover until tender. Drain, force through a sieve. Add an equal amount of sugar and boil from 5 to 8 minutes. Spread over the filling on a tart. Tomato pudding, a fine dish to serve with hamburgers, pork chops, veal cutlets or an omelet for the family dinner, is made like this: ' I 1 TOMATO PUDDING 4 cup water " 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup brown, sugar 3 cups bread cubes 2Vi cups stewed tomatoes cup butter Measure water into saucepan. Bring to a boil. Strain toma toes through a sieve into water. Add brown sugar and salt and stir well. Let boil about 5 minutes. Stir in bread cubes and mar garine or butter.

I A quick dressing that stimulates an old fashioned sour cream sauce for cabbage slaw can be made by adding lemon Juice and sour cream to mayonnaise. Even the sour cream can be made by adding lemon juice at the rate of a teaspoon to one cup cream, and allowing to stand for awhile.
