The Frontier Woman . . . October Month of Pure Gold By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE Oh, how the years do roll along! Another October is with us and soon it will be winter. Brrrr. the very idea, and qnly yesterday I could hardly wait for the iris to open! Many of you raised apples and still have some or can get them very reasonably in the stores and now is the time to serve them in various ways. If you use them raw in salads, don’t peel them. Let that beauti ful red skin add color attraction to your salads! Try adding a dash of celery seed to the apple salad with which you use the mayonnaise type ressing. Have you ever tried an apple and cranberry Betty? You can use more greenish type apples for that. APPLE AND CRANBRERRY BETTY You’ll need three large green apples (or other tart type), one cup bread crumbs (lightly pack ed), one cup brown sugar, % tea spon nutmeg, three tablespoons butter and two cups cranberries. Brown the crumbs in a mod e:ate oven of 350 F. Into a cas eiate over of 350 F. Place a lay er of sliced apples in a casserole, add half the sugar and nutmeg. Dot with butter. Add half the breadcrumbs and a layer of cran berries. Repeat, ending with crumbs. Dot with butter. Bake one hour in a moderate oven. Serve with dessert sauce. Serves six. — tfw — October Is 'Golden' Month— Dear Blanche: October is a golden month. To walk down a lane of trees laden with foliage the color of pure gold which casts a glow over the surroundings is like being in an other world. The ground is carpeted with bright leaves, the trees hung with them, with deep blue skies forming the background. Such scenes present the unforgettable picture that lives in our memory during the winter days. But garden-loving people have many busy days now—there are things to be done. The house plants are safely sheltered in doors. Hyacinths make such love ly gifts. It’s fun to force a few in pots of good garden soil, well drainel. Keep in a cool dark place. After the holidays the shoots will appear. Tender bulbs, tubers, corms and cacti must come in. Cacti may be stored dormant during the winter so the cellar is a good place for them. Their growth is at low ebb during the cold sea son. Cover dahlias and cannas with dry dirt in the cellar. Glads should be dried before being stored. It is well to place moth balls in the sack that contains the glad bulbs. This seems to have been a good year for vine crops. Gourds have done very well due to the absence of bugs and they do not seem as touchy as we imagine. It is sometimes said that old gourd seeds will not grow but I have found this is not true. They may not germinate as reaaiiy Dut they will come in time. I love the miniature variety. Do not try to paint fresh ones for they must be Along with gourds to harvest there are many other interesting seed pods for use in winter ar rangements. I’m thinking of dev il’s claw. It looks '<ke a small black bird is it clings to the plant when ripened after the green pod has split. Popcorn of various colors, ev erlasting flowers and okra and also ever-interesting is a vase of crested cox comb. Its blossoms in brilliant red are a delight with its possibilities. “When the frost is on the pumpkin and the fodder’s in the shock,” then it’s mum time and what a glorious display it makes reflectng the colors of autumn. Mums are not hard to gTow and they can survive with a mini mum of care. If a heavy frost is impending before the late mums have bloomed out, cut the stems and bring them inside. If developed far enough the blossoms will come out beautifully in a vase of water. After the ground freezes, cut the chrysanthemum stalks to lay ovxer the mulch around the plants. This, with the addition of nature’s offering of leaves will provide protection for the hardi est kinds. Fall and mums are in separable as spring and violets. October holds a particularly warm spot in our hearts. Certain ly to those of us here in the mid west it seems a golden time and those who have moved to a dif ferent section of the country ex press a homesickness at the thought of our Indian summer. Yes, October is a golden month. Don’t waste a minute of its beauty. “DREAM DORA” Page News The WSCS met last Thursday afternoon at the Methodist church parlors with 25 present. Mrs. J. W.
