Atkinson, Nebr. —tw— "A Constant Reader" from Atkinson, also wins a three months’ subscription to The Frontier today: Dear Mrs. Pease: I see in The Frontier that 1 you need letters for that de partment. I’ve written so many imaginary letters to you so here goes one on paper. I really enjoy all your columns in all the papers. It must keep you awfully busy, especially | while living on a farm. My days are certainly filled ; ' to overflowing with three small youngsters ages four and a half, three years and eight months. One day about two months ago. the two girls—Karon and Mary Ellen—the two older children, were poking at a boiler lid and holler ing. I was curious. Lifting the lids I discovered a solid mass of coils of snakes. There were three sand snakes un der therel I'm telling you I certainly put an end to their career In a hurryl The youngest girl has a way of turning all her words back wards, such as hop-grasser and door-car. , I am enclosing the recipe for one of my favorite white cakes. It’s called feather weight cake. It’s very inexpen sive but it is delicious. FEATHERWEIGHT CAKE One cup sugar, xk cup :reamed shortening, two cups lour, Vi teaspoon salt, two easpons baking powder, 2-3 •up milk, three egg whites, one easpoon vanilla. Cream shortening with sugar jntil mixture is very light. Vlix and sift flour, salt and jaking powder and add alter lately with the milk, to the mixture. Fold in egg whites which have been beaten until stiff but not dry. Add vanilla, rurn batter into two greased layer pans. Bake in a moder ate oven (350 F.) Ice with fav orite icing. Sometimes I use this recipe in a flat shallow pan and dust with powdered sugar. “A CONSTANT READER.” i —tfw— As a sort of dividend, were giving our readers an extra letter this week and it, too, is being awarded a three-months’ subscription to The Frontier. Hi there, Good Neighbor: Well, here is one busy moth er that is going to take a few minutes and write. There is lots of work this time of year but we enjoy The Frontier and want to help out. I've done quite a lot of sewing lately. Made some things over for the children. I made them each a coat or jacket out of old ones and they aren't too bad. And I also made a quilt top for their beds out of trousers, coats, corduroy and such. Nice and warm with a blan ket for the lining and out ing flannel inside. Did you know you can make pretty wall plaques of your own from one-pound coffee can lids? They don’t take much expense or time. I took the one-pound lids and paint ed two coats of white on the bottom and the edges blue or red, what ever paint you have handy or something to go with your color scheme Put a delcomania in the middle (I used flowers) but anything is cute. Put two small holes in top, thread line wire through and hang up! Maybe some of the ladies would like to try my recipe for making ice cream. REFRIGERATOR ICE CREAM Soak together two teaspoons gelatin and four tablespoons milk. Scald lVi cups milk, and beat until lemon colored, four eggs. Mix and add Vi cup sug ar, 1/8 teaspoon salt and two teaspoons vanilla. Slowly add hot milk to egg mixture, then the soaked gelatin and chill. Whip and fold into the above, one cup heavy cream. Pour in to freezer tray and freeze when almost firm. Place in a chilled bowl and beat well. Re turn to freezing tray. Quite often when I plan company. I make a double batch and to the second half when you beat it the last time. I added Vi cup of chopped maraschino cner riee and Vi cup nut meats for a variety. My family goes for that. IDRfi.
