In your capacity ns chief cook, you're sure to find the task of pre­ paring .three meals a day a real challenge. Of course If you've hud little past experience In the culinary Held, there'll undoubtedly be at least one butch of “heuvy" biscuits, a "fallen" cake or two, and even burnt toast , . . but don't let mis­ takes bother you too much . , , and he'll soon be "crowing" about your So-o <> Good Meals! Because I'm convinced that the ability to make really good pie is a highly desirable quality for any young woman to possess, especial­ ly a new wife, I'm presenting a few pie recipes V. for you to try in your leisure moments. If he likes desserts at all (most men adore them), try your luck with lemon-chiffon, chocolate, rhu­ barb or even Spanish cream pie . . . And.

Easy to eat, yes. but not always easy to make Pastry Is tricky, but once the technique of making it has been acquired. It isn't easily lost In making pastry remember these points. (1) unless you are making hot water pastry, have the ingredi­ ents for mnklng pie crust cold; (2) cut shortening into the flour, using a pastry blender or fork; or, if you’re an experienc«-d cook, and work quickly, blending in the short­ ening with fingers is permissible; (3) add water sparingly, using only enough to hold the Ingredients to­ gether; handle dough as little and as lightly as possible after adding water; (4) roll out the dough on a lightly floured board or on a heavy canvas; (5) cover the rolling pin with a child's white cotton stocking —with the f«x>t cut off—and flour it lightly; and <8) place the dough Irwisely In the pan to help prevent shrinking.

Sift together flour and salt Cut in shortening with two knives or pastry blender, making coarse pieces. Add as little water as possible to make dough stay together.

Boiling a new rope clothes line for a few minutes in soapy water softens it and lengthens its life. A round whisk broom serves as an excellent clothes sprinkler. It gives n flne spray, sprinkles even­ ly, and saves time. Grease spots may sometimes be removed from wallpaper with a piece of blotting paper held against the spots with a warm iron.
