Thrifty Time to Buy White Goods

Jan.e’ f lt.lsnt the middle of
January a ready-and you with
a of y°ur Christmas shop
ping done for Christmas, 1954!
k' „ :, s time to start thinking about
getang all those things done that
you promised yourseif you’d do
ns winter . . . for before you
kn°w it. March 21 will be here
and the first day of spring.
Now is the time to take stock
and review the white sales. For
this is the thrifty time to buy
sheets, pillow cases, towels and
table linens and such.
Let’s talk about sheets, for in
: tance. Now, it’s the heaviest
sheet with the most threads per
mch that wears .t^e longest and,
of course, costs the most. But
consider—does your family like
the feel of th^ heaviest sheets?
Another thing to consider — do
you send sheets to the laundry
and pay for them by the pound?
i->o you have little drying space?
In these cases you may want a
bit lighter sheet. In our family,
we don’t particularly like the
heavier sheets, so I buy the me
dium grade. They dry a bit
ouicker on the line and we like
tne feel of them better.
Consider the fitted sheets and
fitted top sheets this year before
buying. They will save you a lot
of work in bed making and they
are very comfortable. They do
take longer to dry and are more
awkward to fold. My personal
feeling is that their time saving
elements in bed making over
balance their longer drying peri
od.
Be sure you buy sheets long
enough for your bed, with a
comfortable fold under (I am
not speaking of fitted sheets now)
and a top sheet that folds over
other bedding comfortably. These
cost more but are certainly worth
it in the long run.
Consider, too, the lovely col
ored sheets which now come in
percale and muslin and in the
pastel colors that delight the eye.
Pillowcases may be purchased
to match. They’re really so at
tractive, you’ll love them. Also,
one may buy sheets with colored
or printed hems, and they make
smart gifts. Consider, too, at
white sale time, buying items
lor wedding and shower gifts that
will be coming up during the
year—gifts bought at a saving.
And it is not too early to start
thinking about next Christmas.

Dear Mrs. Pease:
Have been going to write to
you ever since we were at At
kinson for hay days. I find the
old proverb, “Time and tide wait
for no man,’’ very true.
By now mothers are very tired
of this school lunch business. I
am so glad I do not have to do
that any more as we live close
to the schoolhouse so my young
sters can come home for dinner.
It isn’t like when I went to
school, though, for now with elec
tricity they have a hot lunch of
soup and toasted sandwiches or
hot fried eggs, hamburger or
wieners. There is such a variety
of canned soups in small, cans,
if mother doesn’t care to Snake
it up, that children can usually
have a variety all the time.
With a month or two of this
variety of foods, one doesn’t get
so tired of sandwiches as we
used to. I must add here that
mother certainly used to fix a
nice lunch for me and I cannot
remember being as tired of it as
the children seem to get now.
She would fix cookies, cakes,
pie and alternate them. For sand
wiches we would have fried
chicken and later on it would be
roast chicken. Then we’d have
friend pork, boiled ham and, at
Christmas time after a beef was
butchered, beef sandwiches.
Then we’d have boiled chicken
(ground), and a variety of pick
les as well as breads. Or perhaps
buns that mother had baked.
I am enclosing a ginger snap
cookie recipe that I have enjoy
ed ever since I was a child. It
makes a large batch, so maybe
some of you won’t want to make
so many. We used to have these
in our school lunches.
GINGER SNAPS (Like You Buy)
One pint molasses or sorghum
(I use % dark syrup, xh. mo
! lasses), two cups lard, one cup
white sugar, one cup brown su
gar, one cup cold water, three
level tablespoons ginger, enough
flour to make a dough a little
stiffer than ordinary cookies.
Don’t roll, but pinch off a
piece aoout the size of an Eng
lish walnut. Place in a pan so
they touch when they are done.
If you are not sure that you have
enough flour in your mixture,
test by baking a cookie or two.
If they spread out to be a large
size after you have used dough
the size of a walnut, they need
more flour.
Here I have rattled on and on
I about school lunches and 11
meant to tell you how much I
enjoyed the hay days parade.
What a lot of work was put in
on some of the floats! I really
enjoyed it and would have liked
to have had a picture of them
all.
Was I ever surprised to see
you! And so glad, also. If I could
only have had a face-to-face chat
with you—maybe I will some
day.
