Although written prior to Christmas it includes recipes which can be used at any time. Dear Blanche Pease, friend of us all, I hope you’re home for I’ve come to call. How are you and the folks at your house? We’re ail well and I'm a busy spouse. There's clothes to be made for a program Tuesday night. They ’re for a little angel and they must fit just right. There’s cookies to be made and fruit cakes to store away; they're all to lie eaten on that gala day. The turkey’s to be picked, cranberries to be cooked. If I get through this rush, I’m sure to be ■booked." Yes, booked for speeding, in the kitchen and the halL But I’m sure I'll make it, if I don’t slip and fail. There's com to be popped, the trees to trim, but I’ll conquer it all, with vigor and vim. Dad will help wrap the gifts, and that’s no fibbin’, he’ll give you advice and snip the ribbon. The mantle will look nice, with its wreaths of holly, the very thought of it makes me feel jolly. A cluster ‘‘tree of balls" will W. F. FINLEY. M.

Glass bells at the windows will reflect the light and good cheer, enough, we hope, to last through the good year. For the centerpiece Vve decid ed on a gumdrop tree, with that pleasing task Jean will help me. I must fill a basket full of good food and good cheer, and take to a shutin who is very, very dear. There’s meals to plan, wash ing to be done, I have so many tasks I’m sure there’s a hundred and one. l must quit, for I haven’t much time; the way it flees is surely a crime. But first, here’s my hint. It’s very, very old, but it's so good it can be retold. Um two or more tablespoons of flour or cornstarch in that confectioner's sugar frosting. It will take away that distaste so often associated with pow dered sugar. Try heating the cream and butler for this kind of frosting and it will he bet ter. Now for my favorite recipe, gumdrop cookies, very rich and a tasty delight, swell for all the family, good to the last bite! GUMDROP COOKIES One cup brown sugar, 1 cup w'hite sugar, 1 cup shortening, 2 eggs, 2 cups quick oatmeal, 1 cup gumdrops, cut, 24 cups flour, 4 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon soda, 14 teaspoons baking powder, 1 cup cocoanut, 2 tablespoons hot water. Cream shortening and spgars j together and add eggs, beat well. Dissolve soda in hot water and | add. Add gumdrops and cocoanut. Mix all dry ingredients together and add to the creamed mixture. Mix well and drop on baking sheet and bake in moderate ov en 325 F. for 20 minutes. Now 1 must go but I just want to say, “Have a Merry Christ mas” and take time to pray. Pray for peace that will last forever, that wrath of men can not sever. MRS. WARREN FERNAU SANDHILL SAL The man who carries the hea viest load has ar. empty head on his shoulders. Lots of folks are willing to help the poor, as long as they don’t live next door. Many a man who talks about letting down his hair has nothing to take down or to tell.
