Silent Motion for ‘Ghost* Troops
Swift white-clad warriors,
who are semi-invisible
against snow and who swoop
to attack on smooth, silent
skis, are aptly described as
“ghost” troops. Their means
of motion—skis—have risen
to the status of a war weapon.
Throughout the nation plants
are rushing production of
this weapon which was once
known only to sportsmen.

Let Hearts Be Gay on Valentine’s Day!
(See Recipes Below)
Cupid’s Share
Hold on to your heart! Here comes
Cupid ready to do tricks to your
heart on Valentine's Day! It’s time
for a party with cute Dan Cupid
reigning on a mighty throne.
February's a short, short month
but with plenty of opportunity for
party-giving. You
can have a Lin
coln’s or Wash
ington's birthday
party, or you can
be extra gay and
colorful with a
Valentine's par
ty. These should
be extra popular
this year with the
pepped - up pace
of romance. If anyone in your crowd
Is about ready for a shower or wed
ding you might take the cue from
Valentine’s day and make Cupid’s
decorations your theme.
Pink-and-white or red-and-white
are the gay color schemes and you
can carry these out in both food and
decorations. A simple but dramatic
table picture is seen in the picture
in today’s column. Three large, red
valentine boxes are set on their side
in a row to form the main interest
for the table. If you want to enlarge
on this, get other pink-and-white or
red-and-white decorations such as
nosegays of roses and tie with a
swirl of ribbon.
If you would rather carry this out
in flowers, get a nice centerpiece of
red-and-white flowers. But have a
heart, somewhere along the way.
If you have a valentine mold make
a valentine cake or jelly mold and
work out an arrow with a pastry
tube or, if the cake is iced you
might even put on an arrow made
out of red paper.
Here is a luscious salad that takes
it easy on rationed foods:
*Molded Raw Cranberry Salad.
(Serves 6 to 8)
2 cups raw cranberries, ground
1 envelope orange gelatine
1 cup chopped celery
14 cup chopped nuts
1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups water
Juice of 1 lemon
Pour Vz cup water in a bowl. Add
gelatine to water. Add 1’4 cups
water and sugar
and stir until dis
solved. Add lem
on juice. Set aside
to cool. Grind
raw cranberries,
chop nuts and
celery fine. Add
these ingredients
to gelatine. Place salad in one large
Lynn Says
Play Games, Too! Nothing’s
nicer than having fortunes told
at a Valentine party. If you
can’t afford a professional, have
someone dressed as a gypsy, arm
her with a heavy glass crystal
and booth, and let her go to town.
Letter games are fine for start
ing off a party. Give each guest
a letter to tie around his neck as
he enters, and as others appear,
let each one dash around to oth
ers to make up words. When
words are formed, guests appear
in front of a person who takes
down their names. Prize goes to
person appearing in most words.
Novel idea for a scavenger hunt
which needn’t take you outdoors.
Select about 10 guests and make
them have something unusual.
For example, have a man with
two unmatched socks, a girl with
two different colored hair bows,
someone who wears his watch on
the left arm, a girl with two dif
ferent colored earrings, etc. Ev
eryone is provided with a list of
above so he knows what to look
for. As he finds the person, he
writes down the name. The one
finished first gets the prize.

Tower of Justice
Although a leaning pagoda of
Indo-China leans more than its fa
mous counterpart at Pisa, Italy, it
was built to lean as a “barometer
of justice." As the administration
of justice becomes less equitable,
the tower, in native fancy, leans
lower and lower. The remarkable
tow'er is 80 feet high and was built
200 years ago.
