Cookie Hints
.Refrigerator cookies come off
the roll in trim, even slices if
you cut them with your butter
cutter or cheese sliccr.
Colored coconut makes fine
decorations for your Christmas
cookies. Just add a drop of color
to a few drops of water and let
the coconut shreds absorb the
color.
Don't forget to Include your
favorite rolled oatmeal cookie
with holiday baking plans. Cut
them in a variety of shapes anc
decorate with sugar or nuts be
fore baking..
Rolled cookies cut into star
shapes can twinkle. Highlight
each star point with a peanut
half before baking.
It's an easy trick to roll out
oatmeal cookies when the dough
has been chilled a few minutes
before rolling.

Stump and Mrs. Joe Smiley. .-
Try Homemade Fruit Bread
New York (u.R) Anybody who
accuses American housewives of
turning into shortcut cooks
should take a look at holiday
preparations in the kitchens.
The frozen foods and ready
mixes may save hours in meal
preparing, but for many women
there is still no substitute for the
fancy homemade Christmas
cookies, dipped candies and rich
fruit cakes and puddings.
And it's still hard to duplicate
the personal gift of fruit cake or
fancy bread or candy baked and
decorated at home. One sugges-
Hon for a homemade gift is :
new version of a fruit bread. It's
filled with fruits and nuts, with
combination of rolled oats and
brown sugar to give an unusual
texture and flavor.
OATMEAL FRUIT BREAD
Ingredients: V cup fat: cup
firmly-packed brown sugar; 1
egg, well beaten; 'A cup chopped
Brazil nuts, pecans or walnuts;
A cup cooked diced prunes;
14 cup cooked diced apricots; 1
tablespoon grated orange rind; 1
cup rolled oats; 2 cups sifted all-
purpose flour; 2 teasps. baking
powder; ,i teasp. soda; l'A
teasps. salt; 1 Vt cups buttermilk
or sour milk.
Method: Cream fat; add sugar
gradually. Add egg to creamed
mixture. Stir in nuts, prunes, ap
ricots, orange rind and rolled
oats. Sift together flour, baking
powder, soda, and salt. Add dry
ingredients alternately with but
termilk to creamed mixture.
(To make sweet milk sour, add
1 tablespoon vinegar to 1 'A cups
sweet milk). Turn into two small
greased loaf pans or one loaf pari'
about 9 by 5 by 3 inches. Bake
in a moderate oven (350-370 de
grees F.) about IV hours, or un
til done. Cool on rack. If desired,
decorate top of the loaves before
baking with whole pitted prun-
apricots, nuts, or candied
fruit. The recipe makes 1 large
or 2 small loaves.
One of these loaves, wrapned
in cellophane and tied with red
ribbon with a sprig of greens
tucked in the bow, makes a very
attractive gift package. For
something simpler in the way of
a holiday treat, especially in a
family where the youngsters ex
pect a handy supply of cookies
and candy to serve young visi
tors, there's a new recipe for
crunchy pecan, brown sugar and
puffed rice or puffed wheat
balls.
PRALINE BALLS
Ingredients: 8 cups puffed
rice or puffed wheat; Vt cup
chopped pecan meats: I cup
brown sugar, V cup light corn
syrup; M cup water; 'A teasp.
salt, 2 tbsps. butter or margarine.

PAINT BY RECIPE
Amateur home decorators
now can look up the recipe for
mixing a new color for the liv
ing room walls, just as they
would consult the cookbook for
a cake recipe. A new 200-page
volume entitled ' The Keystone
Cavalcade of Color" has full
page reproductions of every col
or that could be dreamed up by
a decorator. The pages are coat
ed with the paint itself, and on
the back of each is a recipe giv
ing exact proportions of the dif
ferent pigments required to pro
duce the color. The book is
available at paint supply stores
throughout the country.

rubber-like coating on paper

ient suds-making. It has a net
