Answer to Housewife
With Hungry Family
By MAXINE BUREN .-.t.
Statecjnan Weman't Editor 1
To get variety into desserts and not to make !
vfthem too fattening, is the problem that faces !
Jnic ucuu Hunger uumig mese wintry aays.
Fruit is such a handy dessert throughout part j
of the year, but right now there's only an oc- i
vasivuai 1IC3U aiicijr iu use. .
To get fruits into the dessert you can of i
course go into canned fruits, or you can make
use oi aried iruits .which many women for- j
get all about, but which are really very nice, !
or you can use fruit juices.
imea apricots, prunes, peaches and apples
are found in the larger markets and will rive
... i , . variety io aessens. i ne woman whose family
like! prune whip, might try apricot or peach whip from the
same recipe. Chiffon pies lend themselves admirably to peaches,
Prpnesand apricots. Use your favorite whin dessert. Dilin? th
lining into the baked or unbaked shell, whichever the recipe i
designates. - - :
A bountiful meal calls for a light dessert like this Prune Apri- I
cot Tapioca. The tapioca is colorful and nourishing with plump i
prunes and sunny drietd apricots, and it' extra fluffy with beat-l!
n fgg white. This pudding is a paper-cup treat in a lunch box
TOOV ' - -V ; . j - . -t
PRUNE APRICOT TAPIOCA . . V
2 cups milk
' ' legg if: -f ": i ;!
3 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca:
cup granulated sugar c
teaspoon salt
teaspoon vanilla extract
Vi cup cooked prunes ..- .
H cup sweetened cooked dried apricots - - - -
Combine milk, lightly beaten "egg yolk, tapioca, sugar and!
salt, and cook and stir over moderate heat until mixture reach-!
es boiling point. Remove from heat at once. Fold in stiffly !
beaten egg white and v,anilla. Pit and chop prunes. Slice apri- f
cots. Fold fruits into tapioca. Stir once after about 15 iftinutes. I
Serve plain or with cream. Serves '4 to 5. . -!.
Frozen fruit juices certainly have Hone much to simplify one j
task for housewives. There's considerable variety in juices to:
be found in the frozen foods cases now, and one of the most at
tractive to look atand nice -flavored ones is lime juice.
Frozen juices are ideal for frozen desserts, and just at St
Patrick's Day would be an excellent time to try lime juice in
this attractive sherbet . . ' t
. 1 ' . X ' LIME ICE '
1 cup sugar
t::..' lcupmilk j
1 cup heavy cream
1 ean fresh frozen limeade
" 2 cups water
; 5 drops green coloring r . ,
Blend sugar, milk and cream together in heavy pan and stir
over moderate heat only .until sugar is dissolved. Remove from
heal Blend contents of limeade can with 2 cups water and
stir slowly into milk and cream mixture. Blend in green color
ing. Pour mixture into 2 refrigerator trays and place in freez
ing compartment of refrigerator. Set dial for fast freezing.
W hen mixture is frozen (in about 2 hours) return dial to nor
mal. 8-10 servings. - " ' ' ' .x;
ItVfoiMo playraround with canned fruits for dessert too.
Of course there's unlimited opportunity for originality. Peaches
provide refreshing taste and nice color. Put fruit atop cup
cakes that have been frosted with whipped cream and sprinkled
with coconut Or arrange peach slices around Bavarian cream.
Peach or apricot upside down cake makes variety where pine
apple upside down cake is frequently served.

Lime ice is c refreshing winter dessert and now' days may b made with fresh frozen Kmo
juice. The crttractive green ice is certainly appropriate to St. Patrick's month, cmd also gives
a spring-like touch to any menu. f ' ; -A !, : ' V
There just couldn't be ci nicer dessert io serve at this rime of year when fresh fruit's at a
premium.,,The dessert uses dried prunes and apricots with tapioca made fliiffy with egg white.

Points in Buying Sewing Machine Told
How to make a good buy in a
home sewing-machine is a ques
tion of concern to many families
now that there are so many types
of machines selling at different
prices and suited to different
purposes.' In response to demand
from families the country over,
the U. S.!! Department, of Agri
culture has just . issued "Buy
ing Your ! Home Sewing Ma-
chine" (HG-38), an illustrated
publication prepared by a com
mittee of State and Federal Ex
tension specialists. Single copies
are free from the Office of In
formation,: U. S. Department of
Agriculture, Washington 25, D. C.
Before you go shopping for a
machine, the specialists advise
considering the kind of sewing
for which you'll use it For plain
sewing, making simple garments,
patching, , mending and darning
a straight-sewing machine is sat-,
isfactory. Many women prefer it
for fine dressmaking and tailor

machines are for specialty sew-fch or reS T noped
whether , specialty istitchingj will
be done often enough to warrant
the added cost' of such a '! ma
chine. ' " ! i : 1 ;?
Whether fo buy a cabinet or
portable machine is another im
portant question. A cabinet with
well-supported leaves and sturdy
legs gives good, sewing support
and is ready for immediate use.
The portable is the choice where
space is limited as in small
homes or apartments, or where
the machine must be moved, oft

Many other points to help buy

be a good lifetime , investment
