T?he Frentier Woman—
‘Cinderella’ Is Like Blackbirds at Her
House—Impatient for Spring to Arrive
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
April already! Goodness how
time does fly! Seems only yester
day I was putting together the
February Frontier Woman issues
and here it is April. Folks are
thinking about early gardens,
how to keep up with those smart
Smiths, and wondering where so
and so gets his money! Grin.
When you get set to put that
fur coat in storage, don’t blame
the animal who
wore it first if
it has worn
spots in it.
Worn fur spots
may come from
hats that rub a
gainst the fur
or from hand
b a g s carried
under the arm.
Oops! Esmer
elda, if you’d
Blanche Spann 1186 a pitcher in
Pease which to mix
gelatin and wa
ter you would find it easy to pour
the liquid into even small molds
without spilling or slopping. And
while we’re in the pitcher groove,
a large pitcher is fine for pan
cake batter. Then you can pour it
directly onto the griddle, because
spooning out usually means some
drips somewhere.
If your tall relative is coming
1q call, be sure to wash the top
shelves and clean the tops of
the cupboards. Grin.
The next time the kids warn
' something to do, hunt up some of
those discarded aspirin tins and
let the small fry gild them with
enamel. These can be used as
stamp holders for your purse or
desk, or you can put aspirins
light back into them, if you are
so minded.
You can roll up your own or
your children’s hair on pips
cleaners. You’ll like their plia
bility, and the results, too.
To keep an ill child amused by
the hour, tie a line of cord diag
onally across the bed, from post
to-post. On the line are attached
with tiny clothespins any cards
the ill child receives. If the line is
not too full, add scenic cards.

Dear fllanche:
I see by The Frontier you need
more letters, so must write. I am
a poor letter writer. That is why
you haven’t heard from me soon
er. My, we have had some severe
cold weather during January and
February. Still we can now look
forward to spring. It isn’t too
far away now.
I will enclose a recipe for:
KING SIZED COOKIES
One-half cup shortening, 1 cup
sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 egg,
3 cups sifted flour, Vi teaspoon
salt, 3 teaspoons baking powder,
Mt cup milk. Cream shortening,
sugar and vanilla until light and
fluffy. Beat in egg, sift flour with
salt and baking powder and add
alternately with milk to make a
smooth dough. Chill about ' 2
hours. If there’s time it will be
easier to cut cookies. Roll % inch
thick on lightly floured board.
Cut heart shaped or turn a sau
cer upside down and cut around
it to make larger cookies. Sprin
kle with sugar and bake on a
greased cookie sheet in a moder
ate oven of 375 F. 20 minutes or j
until lightly browned. Makes 2
uozen cookies.
How many like to make coffee
cake? Here is a recipe for apple
coffee cake we think is very nice.
APPLE COFFEE CAKE
Two cups sifted flour, 2/3 cup
sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, Vi
teaspoon salt, Vi teaspoon cinna
mon, l/4 cup vegetable shorten
ing, 1 egg, well beaten, % cup
sweet milk, 1V4 cups thinly slic
ed apples, Vi cup vinegar.
Sift together flour, sugar, soda, i
salt and cinnamon in mixing
bowl. Cut in shortening, combine j
egg, milk and vinegar. Blend j
thoroughly. Add to flour mix
lure; mix lightly until flour is
moistened. Pour into a well
greased 9-inch baking dish, ar
range apples on batter, sprinkle |
witn a crumb topping or Vi cup
sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, Vi
teaspoon cinnamon, 1 tablespoon
soft butter. Blend thoroughly.
Sprinkle over apples, bake in j
moderate oven, 400 F. for 30 min.
utes or until done.
As my letter is getting long, i
better close for now.

2 Cottontails Reward
for Afternoon Hunt—
Ewing, Nebr.
Dear Mrs. Pease:
Today seemed like a long day.
The thermometer stayed around
zero and on such days as this I
like to write letters.
Am afraid it won’t be too in
teresting though, as the happen
ings around here are limited. I
swept the snow from the side
walks this morning and it’s snow
ing gently again from the north.
The world is white again and the
moisture will be welcome to the
farmers. We saw a flock of black
birds this morning flying low,
from tree to tree. Seems like they
have gotten in a hurry and had
best go back ^vhere they came
from.
Four boys just came back
from hunting and they had two
cotton tails for their afternoon
hunt. Mother will have a job
frying them, and they are bel
ter if they are fried after they
are frozen.
If you find you haven’t lime
to finish ironing, roll dampened
clothes in a bath towel and put
in the ice box. The next day they
11 still be fresh and ready for
ironing.
| And a handy gadget to keep in
your sewing box is a toothbrush
handle, with a hole in it. Use it
for running ribbon through bead
ing or a draw string through the
hems.
I am somewhat like the black
birds—in a hurry for spring. The
new seed catalogs have given me
fhe urge to start planting. But
dreaming is about all one can do
for the next little while.
The cookies I promised myself
we’d have for a week, really ma
terialized this afternoon. I used
my favorite cookie recipe and put
in a handful of black walnuts
and raisins. We had rice, some
cold sliced pork, apple sauce and
fresh cookies for supper.
We canned the surplus squash
last week and will use it as a
vegetable or pie later on. Corn
bread and cabbage will make a
meal, some day when it’s cold,
and it’s full of vitamins, too.
I am embroidering some dish
towels I stamped a year ago. I am
glad to have them these cold
days to fill jn the long hours.
I took advantage of these cold
aays to defrost the refrigerator.
I stored the frozen packages on
the back porch and shut the ice
box off, the night before. The
next morning turned it on again,
moved back in and saved a lot of
work.
Will run along for now.

It's True That—
Mince pie is better if served
warm and serve it with a good
uzed piece of cheese and a cup of |
?ood coffee.
If you feel like pie. and haven’t
much time to spend on making
pne, fold Y4 cup chopped pecans
into a butterscotch pudding and
pour into a baked pie shell. Lo,
Milady, a pie to make you drool.
/V quick, easy and luscious des
ert—here's how: Chill dissolved
gelatin—any flavor just so it’s
—fill syrup. Whip with rotary
egg beater till it’s fluffy, and
then fold in a half dozen cut up
marshmallows, preferably the
colored ones. Chill.
Next time you make vanilla
pudding, fold in some crushed
peanut brittle. Watch the family
sit up and take notice.
If you’re tired of plain tapioca
pudding, fold in a cup of drained
crushed pineapple before you
chill it. It is delicious, delectable
and you’ll find the folks delight
ed.
It looks so spring-like. Dissolve
1 package lemon flavored gelatin
in 1 pint hot water. Chill until
slightly thickened. Fold in 1 cup
halved freen grapes, seeded.
Chill. Break into bits with spoon
and pile into glasses. ;
Fold crushed peppermint stick
candy into cooled prepared va
nilla pudding mix. Serve in sher
bet glasses, garnish with chopped
candy. The children will simply
love it.

contented with his lot because he
always wants a lot more.
I don’t ask for an awful lot. I
just want a nice one with a house

Nobody knows what tomorrow
will bring but there’ll be lots
more of the same old thing.

Have you ever wondered how it would
feel to go the limit on power and coin
fort and quality in an automobile?
Or how it would feel to be lord and master
of a car that can take its place with the finest
in die “fine-car field”?
Then, sir, this is a call to action.
The first action is yours—the simple action
of getting in touch with a Buick dealer and
planting yourself behind the wheel of a
Roadmastbr.
Then let this great-powered and dazzling
performer take over.
There’s action in every one of the 152
horsepower in its Fireball engine—more
action than most proud owners of this eager
beauty will ever use.
There’s counter-action in its gentle and sure
gripping brakes, die finest that Buick has
ever engineered.
But there’s also luxury—the luxury of
double-depth Foamtex cushions and custom
upholstery—and of ample roadweight
WhM better Mtomebllei ara ball* Bulrk will build them
magnificently poised on coil springs which
individually cushion every wheel.
There’s a spacious feeling of room, above
end around you—room that is unsurpassed
cnywhere in the fine-car field.
And to make every mile effortless and
relaxed,there’s the very exclusive advantage
of l)yonflow Drive—not as an “extra,” but
: s a standard Roadmaster feature.
So why not drop in and satisfy yourself, as
our guest, that here indeed is a fine car that
goes the limit—in everything but price!
Check for yourself what others ask—and
what others offer—and you’ll discover
Roadmaster prices a call to action that a
wise man can’t ignore.
