The Frontier Woman i By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE Hi there, all you nice people! Don't look now but there's only 11 days left in May. Do n’t ask me where it’s gone, be cause confidentially I don’1 know. It was only yesterday I was arranging the first purple doll iris in a bowl along with the first yellow daffodils and some sweet potatoes vines that had broken and were rooting It made a beautiful combination and some how the first flowers are particuarly lovely. Next day I picked some long sprays of wild currant and put them in a tall blue fiesta vase that the neighbors’ kids gave me for my birthday several years ago. After that the wild plums were in bloom and they made the whole house fragrant. I like to bring Spring into the house. —tfw— Have you a sweet potato vine in the kitchen? They're so easy to start and any time of the year will provide a shining green vine that will grow like sixty and provide a magazine look to your kit chen. —tfw— I do love color in the kitch en, and have some here and there in the bright mixing | bowls. Bob got me one for Christmas, in the yellow plate I ol iiesta that the neighbors gave i me once with a fruit cake on it and in the tomato juice set the pitcher is a lovely bright yel Jiow and each of the glasses is a different bright color. When I chin.i en come I let them drink at the table from these glasses in their blue, yellow, cream purple, and red jackets am. j they call them “special” glass es and feel very much privil eged. (Incidentally, they’re less apt to break than the tumblers Bob eot me for Mothers day. The tumblers are fragile cut glass beauties.) —trw— 1 Sub Winners This week — We have 2 subscription win ners today and I know you’re gonig to enjoy their letters. The first 3 months’ subscription goes to Mrs. James Dobias.of Atkinson. jDear Mrs. Pease: As 1 got the O’Neill paper from my sister the other day | ana you were calling for more letters to The Frontier Woman, 1 thought I would jot down a few lines this morning as I have to wait until my little honefol wakes up so I could go out doors and get some of my I garden in today. I’m making J nests to set some of my duck eggs tonight. My, today is such a nice spring day to be out of doors. I just wonder if any of the ladies raised chickens like I do. As we don't have a brood er house, we got several old car bodies that have good windows in them and used them as brooder houses. I have used them for several years already and think they are just swell. When it is nice and sunny it is so nice and warm in them, and yet they are small enough that a lantern will keep it warm enough when it is cooler. I puti cardboard all around the bottom and it keeps the draft off too. 1 thought I might help some one who wants to raise just a few chicks to eat as they sure taste good fried anyway. Well, the young’un is wake ing up so I guess I better quit and get him ready to take him outdoors with me in the garden. He just loves to be out side these days. He is 11 months old today and every thing is new for him, too. He is starting to walk now, too, s<3 he needs a lot of watching. Well, I guess this is all for now, might write more later on how my garden is coming a long. MRS. JAMES DOBIAS, Atkinson, Nebraska. Mrs. Dobias, I’m ever so glad you wrote us, and I hope you’ll like The Frontier so much that your family will decide they can’t be without it and will rubscribe to it. I know of an other person who has raised chickens in the manner you described. —tfw— I really enjoy The Frontier Woman. I have been intending to write for quite some time but you know how one puts off doing such things. I get the Frontier a little late, but I am always an.x-, ious to see your column. I'm not an old hand at keeping house like some of your readers, so I find many use ful hints in your column. I’ve had some wonderful luck with some of your recipes. Be cause of the difference in al titudes, I have to make a few changes. I have to cut down the sugar and shortening in al most all the cakes and cookies. I have a little problem. I thought perhaps some of your readers could help me. My husband is one of those who has to carry lunches 5 days a week. My problem is having a large variety of sandwiches. 1 know sandwiches are easy to make but after awhile one runs out of ideas of what to use for filling. I would appreciate it very much if you could give some suggestions. I have a couple of recipes I’d like to send. CHOCOLATE COOKIES One-third cup butter, 1 cup sugar, 1 egg beaten, 2t& cups flour, Vi teaspoon soda, % tea spoon salt, % cup sour mi.K 2 ounces chocolate, melted.
