The Frontier Woman —
Bit of Ocean Water Dropped Off by Touring
Kin Closest Woman Has Been to Ocean
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
Hi there, all you nice people!
Now is the time of year when
the wild plum blossoms drip
their finery on the wild plum
trees and the apple blossoms
come out to make their prom
i s e s for a
fruitful fall.
I hope you
have gobs of
them so that
you won’t
have to leave
all the blos
soms on the
trees but can
take some in
to the house
_ where they
Blanche Spann can sh«»d their
P»at« fragrance and
their fragile, dresden beauty
for all to enjoy.
This, too, is the season when
we’re glad we planted all those
tulips last fall, and are men
tally deciding to plant gobs
more this coming fall, though
where we’re going to find the
money, we simply don’t know.
Grin.
The daffodils toss their gay
yellow heads in the wind and
we go out and lok at the swel
ling iris buds with delight for
the season of spring blossom
fruition is gladly at hand.
I simply must have some Red
Emperor tulips come another
year, Their brilliant flash of
color is a joy to see and you can
spot it from a long way off.
Takes a dozen, though, in a
clump to make you feel you’ve
got enough of them in a bunch
and it would take 12 dozen to
satisfy the spring hungry urge
for color that most of us long
for.
Does your old spring hat
need something to bring it in
to the spirit of 1950 or the
new one seem to need a note
of color? Fasten on a clip or
jeweled lapel pin. In the big
shops, such decorations are
found on the better hats and
such a hat is sold for about
five dollars more than it br
ings without the decoration!
Artificial flowers arc very
smart this year, as a shoulder
corsage, tucked in at the neck
line or at the belt—or possibly
at the wrist—so don’t hesitate
to be the first one in your set to
wear them.

Subscription Winners—
‘‘A busy mother,” of Middle
branch, and Mrs. Herman Mc
Daniels, of Atkinson, are the
winners this week of 3-months’
subscriptions each.
Dear Mrs. Pease:
Hen> goes for that letter I’ve
been telling myself I should
write. Wish I could say that
I’ve tried every recipe that is
printed in The Frontier Wom
an’s corner. However, I have
found many that we like.
We like your Apple Brown
Betty just fine. Sometimes it
isn’t handy to toast bread
crumbs, so we substitute crush
ed graham crackers. I think a
bout 2 dozen crackers more
would be just as good or better.
We think it is delicious.
Did you ever use green to
mato mince meat for filling in
filled cookies? If you have rath
er sweet mincemeat, they are
better. We never have trouble
getting rid of these cookies.
I believe it was in your col
umn that I found the suggestion
of using ground fresh apples in
stead of apple sauce in apple
sauce cake. We like it much
better. Also, I have substi
tuted green tomato mince
meat instead of apple sauce and
raisins. It is good, but the bat
ter is thicker and more inclin
ed to be sticky.
When I am extra busy, but
want tp bake a cake, I like Busy
Day Cake. Our oldest son likes
it as well as Angel Food.
BUSY DAY CAKE
Sift together: 1 2-3 cups sif
ted flour, 1 cup sugar, Vi tea
.. ■ "■» UK—
! spoon salt, 2 Vi teaspoons bak
ing powder. Add 2-3 cup milk,
! 1-3 cup shortening. 1 egg, and 1
teaspoon flavoring. Put all in
at once and beat 3 minutes (150
■strokes). Bake in 350 F. oven
for 35 minutes.
I have used water instead of
milk. It makes a cake which is
■ losft* moist. I’ve also used one
cup of cream instead of milk
i and shortening but like the rec
| ipe best the way it is.
Does anyone have a good rec
ipe for beets besides Harverd
beets, buttered beets or pickled
beets? We do use beets in salad
combinations such as beets, hard
boiled eggs and a little onion
or beets, green beans, eggs,
chetse and lettuce. But I would
like a hot dish recipe, if any
one has one.
It won’t be long until we will
be planting gardens I hope I
don’t forget to try to start some
early tomato plants. I’ve been
trying to think about what I
want to plant but haven’t de
cided yet.
Well, I must get busy and de
cide what kinds of cookies to
bake today—probably oatmeal
and maybe peanut butter cook
ies.

BUSY MOTHER”

Mrs. McDaniel's Letter
Dear Mrs. Pease:
I’ve many times thought of
writing you a letter but never
have put those thoughts into
words. Could I express myself j
as well as you, I no d o u b t
would often write a letter. I en
joy your writing very much. I
suppose many are thinking that
spring is never going to come.
In late February my hus
band's niece and her husband
stopped in for a hurry up vis
it enroute to their home in
Elliot, N. D. Leaving their
home in January, they visit
ed points of interest in 11
states including the states a
long the coast. As a souvenir
they brought a container of
the ocean water. It is so salty
and clear as crystal, the near
est to the ocean I've got so
far.
At the port of entry before
going into New Mexico, then
car was checked- Among some
of the things they had were or
anges, which the farmers prued
as real fruit. The officer looked
them over and with a broad
smile and laugh said, better
take those marbles back to North
Dakota. In their trip they cov
ered 7.000 miles, their next
point of interest was home and
they were sure anxious to get
there, altho they said their trip
was perfect.
I want to add my favorite
never fail recipe for chocolate
cake.
RED DEVILS FOOD
One and one-half cups sugar,
2 eggs, 6 teaspoons coca, 2 cups
flour, 1 cup sour milk or butter
milk, a pinch of salt, % cup
shortening, any kind. Put all in
the mixing bowl and mix 5
minutes. Then add 1 level tea
spoon of soda, dissolved in boil
ing water, 1 teaspoon vanilla,
beat until smooth. Bake 350 F
for 30 minutes or until caxe
mixture falls from side of pan.
This can also be a layer cake

Says IMA Hinter:—
A popular American dessert
is ginger bread. Try splitting it
and serving it while warm with
a whipped cream or a marsh
mallow whip filling. Top the
cream or whip with a candied
red cherry holding a blanched
almond. MMMMM!
Or have you tried sprinkling
moist packed coconut on a
whipped cream top? Good on
gingerbread or any short cake
concoction of that type. Ever
tried pouring hot caramel or
chocolate sauce over squares of
ginger bread? It’s a deluxe des
sert and that’s the honest truth!
Want something stirictly far
different? Scoop out the center
of a square of gingerbread and
fill it with apple sauce. Shake
a bit of cinnamon on the apple
sauce. If the hips can take it—
add the whipped cream top
ping—brrrottther!
Ever try cutting gingerbread
center and spreading with a
in squares, split through the
center and spreading with a
cream cheese and nut mixture
This’ idea is for free—and he’ll
think you’re pretty smart
Bake gingerbread and cut it
in squares. Make molasses cho
colate cream by adding 1 table
spoon molasses and two table
spoons shaved unsweetened
chocolate to one half cup of
cream, whipped.
Try these — I'll betcha the
man of the house will declare
that’s he’s your gingerbread
man.

I froze all winter long, told
folks each chance I got, but
pretty soon my friends will hear
“I’m getting sunstroke it’s so
hot!”
I have never been able to de
cide whether people with very
loud voices are trying to make
up for weak minds or what.
Never be snooty to the peo
ple you pass as you go up the
ladder, you are very apt to meet
them again on your way down.
Do not expect gratefulness
from those you give help. Be
content with the glow that
comes from within.
It is a good thing to remem
ber that if you are continually
slinging mud some is bound to
spatter on yourself.
