Fun because of all the com pliments heaped on the home maker who does things "with the greatest of ease."

Suptr Froten Soups Joining in a long list of frozen foods, has recently come fresh flavored, truly elegant frozen condensed soups incans . To say that they've had warm welcome is putting it mildly. They've proven sensational as to both delicate flavor and texture; are increasingly used as fine fla vorful sauces as well as for the soup course. Cream of shrimp soup is a smooth pink blend of flavorful shrimp in rich cream along with butter, tomatoes, sauterne and spices. Oyster stew is made the way famous oyster houses pre pare it and that means with choice tender oysters, fresh whole milk and creamy butter.

Green pea with ham contains tender pieces of ham, onions, celery, parsley, spice and garlic. To prepare the new frozen canned soups, you simply place the can in warm water for a short time so contents will slide out easily. Then add an equal amount of water or milk. Heat the soup, stir to blend and serve. Many use these full-flavored soups in ways like this: Shrimp -Rice. Heat one can frozen condensed cream of shrimp soup in double boiler or over low heat until soup is com pletely defrosted. Add one-third cup milk and one-fourth slivered ripe olives; heat thoroughly. Serve over thre cups cooked rice (one cup uncooked) to serve three. Inslant Cake Mix Is Mother-Daughter Delight Quickest way to get a happy young cake baker in the family is to have Daddy bragging about Daughter's cake-aking prowess. Modern mothers turn daughter loose in the kitchen with one of the new instant cake mixes (white, yellow or devil's food). With a eater, a bowl and a bak ing pan, she empties package of instant cake mix into bowl, adds two unbeaten eggs and water as indicated; adds a bit of any ad ditional flavoring desired, turns 2 PKGS. 33 2 PKGS. 33 2 pkss 33 2 pk .33 2 k 33 2 wcgs. 49 2 49 2 pkss. 59 2 fkgs. 55 2 pk. 59 2 pk 59 2 PKGS.

Golden Strawberry Shortcake Uses Mix Strawberry shortcake is an other family favorite that is quickly made nowadays. A des sert that daughter will delight in helping produce. Children, we find, particularly like doing things in heat-resistant glass mixing bowls and baking dishes because they want to see what is going on. Mother must re member that the child's eye level is different from her taller point of viewing; plan accord ingly. Quickest possible strawberry shortcake is made by emptying a package of the new instant yellow cake mix into a bowl; adding one cup water, two un beaten eggs and one tablespoon lemon rind; beating three min utes until smooth and creamy, turning batter into 9x9x2 (or comparable size) heat resistant baking dish which has been lined on ottom with paper. Bake in moderate oven, 350 degrees, about 45 minutes. Cool cake. Wash, slice and sweeten two quarts fresh strawberries re serving eight to nine whole ber ries with hulls for garnish. Whip one cup whipping cream; sweet en if desired. Cut cake into nine pieces. Split each piece and spread sweetened berries be tween layers and on top. Gar nish with sweetened whipped cream and whole berries. Nine generous servings. And you'll need every one of them! Instant Frosting Mix Then there's a b r . n d-n e w fluffy instant white cake frost ing that requires no cooking. One package of this can't-f ail mix produces at least four cups of luscious fluffy frosting; enough to spread generously be tween the layers and to swirl over top and sides of a nine inch cake ... or whatever use you want to make. All it requires is cold water as it comes from the tap and . beating with electric or hand beater. Today's glamour girl mother and her daughter give this new frosting distinctive touch by tinting and flavoring in endless ways. You can even add choco late, fruits, coconut or nuts if you like. Frosting miraculously stays fluffy, does not shrink, soak into the cake or become crusty or sugary and the texture remains the same as long as the cake lasts. Salad Dressing Mixes The modern homemaker finds a galaxy of salad dressing mixes on the market. Famous chefs have blended herbs and spices to make five different variations that require only the addition of your favorite vinegar (cider, salad, herb or wine) along with water and salad oil to produce such favorites as Old Fashion French, Old Fashion Garlic, Bleu Cheese, California French or Exotic Herbs. Distinctly diff ere, the good seasonings come in envelopes. For convenience, two different envelopes of salad dressing mixes are now available in one kit which- contains a self-measuring mixing bottle with correct proportions of liquids marked right on the bottle. Sugar coated cereals enjoy tre mendous popularity. Newest one noted is raisin bran with sugar coated raisins, using a dipped-in-honey and rolled-in-sugar pro cess that keeps the raisins juicy, sweet and tender. Good i baked fruit crisps, breads, cookies, des serts an'i even added to entrees, as well as enjoyed as a cereal. Apple .flavored gelatin is new est addition to galaxy of fruit flavors for making handsome molded salads and desserts. Good with fruit in any combina tion, it surprisingly combines with vegetables in the making of molded vegetable salads of distinction; gives new flavor in terest to chicken salad; makes fine relish w i t h meat when drained India relish is added. Instant Pudding Addition Young mothers have long pleased the children with choco late, vanilla-and butterscotch pudding; often added shredded coconut to them because the fam ily likes coconut. Now there's a coconut cream instant pudding that needs only the addition of ing with an egg beater for per two cups of cold milk and beat- ly good pudding or filling for four tart shells or for awaked eight-inch pie crust. Needs only to stand 15 minutes or so before serving. Many are enthusiastic about this as topping for leftover dessert or cake; use it as a sauce for fruit. Aluminum Foil Now Saves Mother Much Time, Effort Hailed as the product of 1001 kitchen miracles, pure alumi num foil "uses" actually seem unlimited; is rapidly becoming standard household equipment. A few of its time, effort and money saving uses enjoyed by Mother are: Instant bowl covers that cling without strings . . fine for wrap ping leftovers for refrigerator storage ... for lining broiler pans and cooking utensiles r . . for faster roasting of meats and poultry . . . for storing and bak ing fish sans refrigerator or kitchen odors ... or packing lunch boxes . . . cooking out doors. Aluminum foil is used'to wrap around baby's milk bottle on trips and outings. It also keeps butter and margarine from ab sorbing odors; prevents cheese odors from circulating. It catches liquids that boil over in the oven the utensil holding the food on (use foil somewhat larger than shelf beneath the one on which the food rests; turn up foil edges.) Many think aluminum foil un surpassed for freezing and stor like it for moth-proofing storage, ing foods in home-freezer units; for lining and shelving cupboads and wardrobes. Even gardeners find unnumbered uses for it. Instant Cocoa Mix. Family craving for chocolate is satisfied with this quick chocolate sauce which is a family favorite on ice cream, cake, puddings, canned pears. Combine one cup instant cocoa mix, dash of salt in sauce pan.. Add lVfc cups hot water; place over medium heat, bring to boil, boil four minutes stir ring constantly.

(Q) "I hare never known ex actly how old my mother is, but I suspect that she is in her late seventies. The ether day she began to talk about what she wanted done after she died. She is in ex cellent health and there is no reason for her t o b e con- Dr. Herlock cerned about her death at this time. She was very emphatic about not want ing any indication of her age on her tombstone. "She has always refused to dis cuss her age; we have suspected it because she was older than my father. He died three years ago, and she had the date of his birth and death carved on his tomb stone. I. pointed out to mother that this should be done on hers too, since their graves would be side by side but she became very upset and said she could never have any peace of mind unless I promised to follow her wishes. So, of course, I promised, but I am a bit upset about the matter. You know how people ask about the age of a person, so what will I tell when they ask me?" (A) You will merely tell the truth, .saying that your mother never told you her age. Under no conditions should you break your promise to keep her age a secret. Whatever her reason may have been for asking you to promise, the fact remains that you gave your word and should abide by it.
