• * ND SO we can’t get married?”.
"Now, Jane, don’t be like
that. We can and will, but not now."
“Why not now?”
“I’ve told you a dozen times. We’ll
have to struggle along and perhaps ,
never get on our feet. If we wait I
until I’m started everything will be
easy.”
“We are on our feet now. You
have some of your mustering out
pay and I’ve saved a few dollars.
How much have we?”
“In cash, all together, about two
hundred dollars.”
“That's a lot of money to me.
Plenty to get married. We don’t
need much. I’ve been thinking of
this for two years. If we had any
confidence in ourselves we would do
it. Ma left me those two acres on the
turnpike. We can fix up the shack
there. I can keep working for a
while.”
“That sounds all right, and all
through those months in the Army
while the other guys were talking of
going back to the bank, the store,
or the post office, I kept thinking of
the day I could begin an egg route.
It’s my dream.”
She gripped hi* arm. “If that is
what you want, go after it. It may
not sound like much, nothing does
at first. Just think, Pete, how lucky
we are. There are so few egg men
in this town, it ought to be easy.
I bet I can get fifty regular cus
tomers in a couple of days.”
Slowly they sauntered toward
town. Pete sighed and grinned.
"Gee, Jane, I can hardly wait! I
can peddle butter and oranges
and ..."
"And I’ve learned to make swell
jelly. . . ."
“By fall we should be all set.”
Though his voice was casual, it
broke the spell.
"There are a lot of folks with hens
around here. I’m sure they’d be
glad to sell you eggs. And with a
cart you could take them into town.
It would be tough on your feet but
you'd soon harden up. The doctors
told you to walk a lot. You’re not
afraid of hard work?” The question
was lightly put.
"No,” he said. “It’s us I’m afraid
of. I don’t want to look forward to
hard times later. It’s not my pride.
I’ll pull a cart if that’s the test, but
I’ll not take a chance on two hun
dred dollars.”
They neared the main street.
Finally she spoke. "Let’s ask a few
people what they’d do. There must
be a lot who have had the same
problem.”
Pete laughed. “Who’ll be the first
victim?”
Jane pointed at a couple. The man
rested his hand on the door knob of
a long shiny m®tor car. “Yep,” said
Pete, "they look likely. One of them
probably inherited so much dough
from a tightwad uncle that he never
had to work a day. Try it if you
like.”
Flashing her best smile — which
was very nice indeed — Jane said.
“Pardon me, I wonder if you would
do us a favor?”
The man opened the door of the
car, looked at the dashboard clock
and answered, “We’re in a bit of a
hurry but we’ll be glad to help if
we can.”
“Will you answer just one ques
tion? How much money do you think
a couple should have before marry
ing?” *
The woman was about to speak.
But the man answered again. He
nodded toward his companion. “Ma
and I got married on her dowry,
eighty dollars in American money.
That paid our passage from Dublin
to New York. In 1899 it cost thirty
dollars for each. V>e landed with
twenty-five dollars. Twenty of it was
Ma’s and five I ecrned on the way
over. Twenty-five dollars was
enough, young lady. That and Ma’s
faith in me.” He smiled and patted
the auto. “The rest came with hard
work.”
Pete cut off all further talk by
saying, “That does it. Let’s go home
and tell our families that we're go
ing to take the big jump.” They
rushed off hand in hand.
The woman turned to the man.
“Were you ever in Dublin?”
He was grinning. “No, lady,” he
replied. “I’ve never been out of this
state. But if I owned this auto I’d
soon fix that.” He looked up the
street. “You say this is my bus?
Do you take it too?”
"No, I live on the other side of
town.”
“Then good day to you, madam.
Don’t worry. Those youngsters will
be all right.”
“Let us hope so. Good day to you,
sir.” She watched the bus disappear,
muttering, “And I was just going
to tell them what a time me and the
ol’ man had in Cork borrowing the
money for our marriage license
and passage over. Well, he'll laugh
when I tell him.” She opened the
door of the car. “I’m glad he left
the machine unlocked so I can wait
in it.”
Preventing Covered Smut Loss
Good insurance against reduced
grain yields caused by covered
smut is to treat winter barley or
wheat seed before planting in the
fall with an organic mercury dust.
The cost of treating the seed
amounts to about three or four cents
an acre, a small price, compared
with the loss of several bushels of
grain per acre.

Sugar Restrictions
Prevent Solution
Of Dessert Problems
Mounds of creamy ice cream ride
on top of peach halves set on
squares of tasty, hot milk sponge
cake. A dessert sauce made of the
peach juice is a delightful foil for the
fruit, ice cream and cake.
Now that food rationing has loos
ened up in most of the eatable goods,
and we are once again able to get
back on a prewar standard, cooking
problems need not be pressing.
However, in spite of this lifting of
restrictions, we still have at least
one major problem—that of sugar.
Little relief is in sight right now,
and the situation will probably pre
vail tor some
months. What
« shall we do about
'»] dessert?
J Well, first of all
' there are fruits
i which can be
dished up in any
number of per
iecuy aengntiui ways. mere s
whipped cream and ice cream, and,
of course, sugar substitutes.
One cup of sugar or less is a good
rule to follow if you are using rec
ipes calling for this sweet but scarce
commodity. If your cake calls for
1% cups of sugar, use % cup of
sugar with % cup of corn syrup. In
this case you must use 2 table
spoons less milk than the recipe
calls for and 2 tablespoons of flour,
additional.
The fat scarcity also limits us to
some extent on the baked goodies
we want to make. That’s why
sponge cake will be popular, as in
this following recipe:
Peach Sponge a la Mode.
(Serves 8)
Sponge cake
1 No. 254 can peach halves
1 quart vanilla ice cream
Dessert sauce
The cake used uses 4 eggs and is
made with scalded milk to give it
a fluffy texture:
Sponge Cake.
2 cups sifted cake flour
54 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk, scalded
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons butter, melted
Sift flour and measure. Sift three
times with salt and baking powder.
Beat eggs with rotary beater until
thick and lemon colored. Add sugar
gradually and beat until fluffy. Fold
in flour mixture, then milk, flavoring
and melted butter. Fold until well
blended. Pour into square cake pan
lined with waxed paper. Bake in a
moderate (350-degree) oven for 30
minutes. Cool in pans.
Dessert Sauce.
Liquid from peaches
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
Remaining peach halves, chopped
54 cup salted almonds, slivered
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Cook the peach liquid down to %
cup. Stir in the granulated sugar
Lynn Says:
Make Meals Good: No family
enjoys eating the same, same
foods every meal. It’s a good idea
not to repeat dishes more than
once every three or four weeks.
Even favorite foods get monoto
nous when served too regularly.
To get contrast in every meal,
follow the basic seven charts to
see that you get in all different
types of foods.
In planning a meal, have some
things crisp, others soft, and still
others hard. For example, meat
can be the “soft” food, while
broccoli or salad add the crisp
ness, and rolls are the “hard”
part.
Try to combine colors, too.
Cauliflower, potatoes and creamed
chicken may all be good, but they
don’t stimulate the appetite.
However, consider the colorful
ness of creamed chicken with
french fried potatoes and peas
with carrots.
There should also be a com
bination of hot and cold dishes.
Even with a salad luncheon, the
hot foods can be soup and coffee.
Some cooked, some raw is an
other good rule. Be sure to have
a salad—a big one, too, if you
are having roasted meat, cooked
vegetables and pie or pudding,
which are all cooked.

and chill. Serve over the peach
halves a la mode and top with nuts
mixed with brown sugar.
To serve, arrange a peach half on
a square serving of cake. Top with
■ mouna oi ice
cream and serve
with the dessert
sauce.
If it’s apples
you want, then
you will like this
pie which is easy on fat because it
does not have to have a top crust. It
uses an egg for richness and flavor:
Open-Faced Apple Pie.
(Serves 6 to 7)
3 cnps sliced apples (about 54
pound)
1 egg, well beaten
54 cup sugar
1 tablespoon flour
54 teaspoon cinnamon
54 teaspoon grated lemon rind
54 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons melted butter
Plain pastry for I crust (about
1 cup flour)
Line pie pan with pastry, building
up the edge. Fill with sliced apples.
Add remaining ingredients to beat
en egg; beat well. Pour batter over
apples. Bake in a hot (425-degree)
oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
Apples which are best to use in
this type of pie are Rome Beauty
or Macintosh.
Black walnuts can lend a distinc
tive flavor to pie when fruit supplies
dip to a low during the cooler weath
er as in this recipe:
Black Walnut Pie.
2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
6 tablespoons flour
2 egg yolks
54 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons butter
1 cup black walnuts
Baked pastry shell
Whipped cream
Make a custard of the milk, sug
ar, flour and egg yolks, cooking until
thick in a double boiler. Add salt,
vanilla and butter. Cool. Add nut
meats and pour into a baked pastry
shell. Let set and cool. Serve with
whipped cream top-ping.
This novel apple pie saves short
ening by using just one crust. For
delicious flavor and good, old-fash
ioned heartiness, add an egg to the
apple mixture.
The old-fashioned puddings are al- |
ways popular because of their mo- !
lasses sweetness
and fragrant
spices. Suet is
usually used for
the base, but one (
^ of the fats may I
be substituted if
it is unavailable.
Buttermilk is
used to give that
fluffy texture which is so appe
tizing.
Quaker Pudding.
(Serves 10)
2)4 cups sifted flour
1)4 teaspoons soda
)4 teaspoon salt
)4 teaspoon nutmeg
% teaspoon cinnamon
1)4 cups buttermilk
1 cup ground suet
1 cup molasses
1 cup raisins or other chopped
dried fruit, or candied fruit
% cup rolled oats
Sift flour with soda and salt Add
all other ingredients in order given
and mix thoroughly. Pour into two
one-quart greased molds. Cover and
steam for 3 hours. Serve with
Foamy or Orange sauce.
Stuff green peppers with creamed
chicken or turkey and rice. The pep
pers should be parboiled first, and
after stuffed, they may be heated
for 10 minutes in a moderate oven.
If you like stuffed green peppers,
try them with a stuffing of corned
beef hash mixed with onion. It’s
mighty good.
Like sweet potato pudding? One
way to make it is to mash six
cooked sweet potatoes with 6 ta
blespoons butter, 2 tablespoons
grated lemon rind and 1 cup of '
orange juice. Bane this mixture in
a greased casserole in a moderate
oven for 15 minutes.

^BABX
By Lillian B. Storm*
The amount of food a baby eats
and the gains in weight he makes
vary considerably. At least you
may think the variations are un
usual. He may eat less and
therefore not gain as much weight
for a week. He may even lose a
little weight occasionally. The
next week or a month later he may
make larger gains.
If he does not seem to be satis
fied with the amount of food you
give him, let him have more. He
may not keep on eating as heartily,
after a few days he may suddenly
eat less. The chances are good
that he knows better than you how
much his stomach needs and can
take care of.
Usually when he is six to eight
months of age, new foods are given
first at the noon meal. It may be
1 possible that you are offering him
i too much variety at noon. Dis
' tribute his foods to other meals,
j cereal and fruit or custard at sup
per. Egg and vegetable or a vege
table may sometimes be given for
supper either with or in place of
his cereal, and milk at every meal.
Babies like routine but a little
variation is also welcome.
