The Frontier Woman —
Reader Finds That Clothes Look Better,
Last Longer If Mended Before Storage
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
Hi there, all you nice peo-pastry, made according to
pie! .these directions.
The makeup of the Thanks
giving dinner is pretty thor
oughly dictated by tradition,
and who wants to change that
pleasant custom? King turkey
and his cranberry trimmings
are as much a part of Thanks
giving as the family reunion.
While ingredients remain
the same there's nothing to
stop the homemaker from
__ changing the
form in
which they
appear. For
example, try
cranberri e s
in a new
custard p i e.
Bake an old
fash i o n e d
sweet potato
Die to use
JW J that vegeta
Blanche ble and its
Spann Pease color, or
choose a j
cheese and pineapple pie for j
something entirely different.
Whatever the choice, these
recipes are all based on good
PLAIN PASTRY
One cup sifted enriched
flour. V4 teaspoon salt, 1/3 cup
shortening, IVz to 2Ya table
, spoons cold water. Sift to
gether flour and salt. Cut or
rub in shortening. This may
! be done with two knives, a
pastry blender, a fork or the
fingers. Add just enough of
;the water to make a dry,
I crumbly dough. Toss on light
| ly floured pastry cloth.
If you do not have a pas
try cloth, turn the dough on
to waxed paper and press
together by wrapping the
paper around the ball of
dough. Then roll out about
one-eighth inch thick. Line
a nine-inch pie pan. Prick
the crust with a fc«rk.
For cheese pineapple pie,
bake the crust in a hot oven
(450 degrees F.) eight to 12
minutes. Cool before adding
filling. For cranberry custard
pie and sweet potato pie, the
pastry is filled before baking.

Subscription Winning Letter—

subscriptions today, and the
other one goes to "A Ewing
Resident.”
Dear Mrs. Pease:
Here it is Fall again. It is
said that time goes faster as
one gets older. I believe its
true don’t you? ’Member how
we used to wait and wait for
Christmas and July 4th?
Ii is lime to piam my
new tulip bulbs and I also
have some trees and shrubs
on the way, will plant them
when they arrive. Our heav
enly blue morning glories
were so beautiful. I must
save some seed from them.
The glad and canna bulbs
must be dug soon. I like a
nice lawn and flowers, don 1
you? It is work but it is
very worthwhile.
The suggestion I have for
school lunches is to save some
of the soup, beans, etc., from
supper. Put in a small jar for
the next day’s lunch. Most
teachers keep a pan of water
on the stove, before lunch
time, recess, probably put the
jars in the pan and each has
a hot dish for lunch. Canning
is almost over and most of us
are glad, it is the first time
for years that all of mv jars
have been full. They will taste
mighty good this Winter and
help out on the grocery bills,
too.
It is time to put away Sum
mer clothes. I find that if
one mends and cleans clothes
before putting away they last
longer and look better. Don’t
starch clothes that are to be
stored.
To clean a comb put it in a
pan with a teaspoon of Soda.
Pour hot water over it and
allow to stand a few minutes.
It will be clean as ever.
We all enjoy your writing.
You must be very busy.
When I taught in the country,
I used to make sandwiches
filled with a mixture of rel
ish and peanut butter. They
i were so good.

Not all red headed women

Here is a fine relish recipe: I

Grind the following: Two
heads cabbage, eight carrots,
12 onions, three red peppers,
three green peppers. Mix, add
xk cup salt and let drain two
hours, add three pints vinegar,
six cups sugar, two teaspoons
celery seed, one teaspoon mus
tard seed. Mix together and
can. Do not cook. We ate a
pint of this with our Sunday
dinner.
Will be looking for your
column in next week’s paper.

Ewing Woman Wins—
Dear Mrs. Pease:
I see by The Frontier you
like to receive letters, so here
I go to write to you. It is
rather quiet here this after
noon, the boys are not home
from school yet, but will be
soon. We live one mile from
Ewing so they go to school
there.
Our eldest boy will be 13 in
January and our youngest was
10 in September. They are a
big help to us. Now they have
a pony and buggy they drive
into town and sell cream and
bring home groceries or run
errands when their daddy is
busy and doesn’t want to
spare the time. I am just
about finished on my canning.
I have a recipe for you:
CARROT AND ORANGE
MARMALADE
Four cups chopped carrots,
four cups sugar, two table
spoons' lemon juice, three or
anges, one cup water. Peel or
anges and put rind through
food chopper. Cover with wa
ter and cook until tender. Add
orange pulp, sugar, lemon
juice and orange rind to the
carrots and cook until thick
and clear. Put in glasses and
seal.
My husband doesn t like
carrots very well but he
thinks this marmalade is de
licious’. I always end up my
canning making some of it as
it is so nice in lunch pails for
school. Well my letter is get
tig long. I must go to the
garden and gather a few
green tomatoes I have left
and by then it will be supper
time.
