HOME-MAKER’S CORNER
T'VSGUSTED with his own cook
ing, George angrily pushed his
chair back with his foot. If only
Anna weren’t such a strange little
foreigner, he thought impatiently,
his meals wouldn’t be so tasteless,
and the burden of keeping house, in I
addition to many of the farm
chores, would fall on her instead of
him.
With the odor of the bam still
clinging to his clothes, he walked
the short distance to the next farm
to see Anna and speak to her cousin.
Without knocking, he went into the
living room.
The woman looked up from her
mending indifferently, as if his vis
its were too frequent for him to be
considered a guest. “Hello, George.
You’ll find Anna In the kitchen.”
“Have you spoken to her yet, Mrs.
Laud?’’ he asked.
“Well," Mrs. Laud said slowly, “I
tried to, only she didn’t seem to
know what I was getting at.” She
paused thoughtfully. “Seemed more
that she pretended not to.”
“I see,” he said wearily.
‘1 did tell her what a fine, honest
man you are. But her only ambi
tion right now is to visit a fortune
teller." She laughed indulgently.
“A fortune teller?"
“Yes. Can you imagine? She be
lieves in them. You see, in Europe
a gypsy once read her palm. And
Anna said that everything came
true. Of course, I imagine little
Anna helped out a lot by twisting
everything that happened to her into
the shape of that faker’s prediction.”
They talked a while longer about
Anna, who was only twelve when the
Germans Invaded her country, and
"I want see fortune teller.”
how Mrs. Laud managed to get her
to Canada. George had often heard
the story before. Soon he went into
the kitchen. He leaned against the
wall, faded blue overalls sagging
on his awkward thin frame; his long
neck tipped forward, his blond, sun
dried hair hanging over dull blue
eyes.
As Anna washed the dishes
George could almost see the dreams
in her large eyes—dreams of a mod
ern knight riding in the wind with
her, the long thick braids of her hair
flying behind her.
Her eyes sparkled. “I want see
fortune teller.”
“What for?”
“I want find out who my hus
band be.”
Suddenly he had an idea, and he
was overwhelmed by his own clev
erness. What had Mrs. Laud said
a little while ago? “She believes in
them . . . little Anna helped out a
lot . . . she sure does swear by them
now.” His red face brightened with
enthusiasm. After all, he thought,
they would probably be married
some day, anyway. No harm in
hurrying things up a bit. “There's
an amusement park fifteen miles
from here,” he told her.
On the bus Anna sat quietly in
anticipation. George saw her lower
her wide eyes modestly when she
noticed the men staring at her shy
o loveliness. Failing to escape their
glances, she took a white handker
chief out of her pocket and wiped
away the lipstick with which her
cousin had touched her mouth.
“Maybe they don’t look now,” she
whispered to George. Naive. Thank
heaven she was, he thought. For
his plans were all the likelier to suc
ceed.
At the park she walked close to
him, asking every few minutes
where the fortune teller was located.
They came to a row of booths un
der a huge awning and he bought a
ticket. “Wait here a minute," he
said. “I’ll be back soon.”
He told the fortune teller to de
scribe him to Anna when she asked
about her future husband. He hand
ed her some money. “Don’t forget.
Tall man, blond hair, blue eyes.”
Then he went out. “You can go in
now,” he told Anna.
While waiting for her, he laugned.
Anna wouldn’t doubt the oracle for
a minute, he thought, amused. When
she came out, she looked as if she
were in a trance. Her large shining
eyes were focused straight ahead.
He fell into step beside her. "Well,
what did she say?”
“Oh, she say wonderful things
She say I marry tall man. He have
blue eyes with blond hair. And he
be very good to me. I know he be
the handsomest man in the world.
And I wait for him,” she said softly
“I wait for him forever.”

Youngsters’ Party Delight—Ice Cream Clowns
(See Recipes Below)
Children’s Party
How long since the youngsters had
a party of their own? It doesn’t
nave to ne Dirtn
day time to cele
brate, because
parties for the
younger set are
fun to have, and
essential for de
! veloping social
• poise.
Parties like this
are easy on moth
er because refreshments must nec
essarily be simple. A little imagi
nation and flair for decoration will
do the rest.
Good wholesome food prepared at
tractively will go a long way toward
satisfying the little guests. Add a
few gay tablecloths and napkins,
some easy but exciting games and
you have all the ingredients for a
successful party.
If you are serving sandwiches, cut
them into shapes with animal cut
ters. A cool glass of milk, or hot
chocolate with a frothy blob of
whipped cream—now returned to the
grocery shelves—will bring forth
cheers from Jimmy’s or Joan’s
friends.
The favorite dessert is cake or
cookies with ice cream of course!
Anything you can do to make this
latter partyfled will all be on the
credit side of the party.
Now that cheese and meat are
easier to obtain, you can again have
fun with sandwiches. Not too much j
seasoning, though, because young- i
sters’ stomachs are sensitive. Here
are some good suggestions:
Bologna Filling.
(Makes 15 to 20 sandwiches)
1 pound bologna
14 cup chopped pickles or relish
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon minced onion
Dash of tabasco sauce
3 hard-cooked eggs
14 teaspoon salt
1 cup ground raw carrots
Vt cup chopped celery
Grind bologna and mix thorough
ly with relish, mayonnaise, onion
and sauce. Divide in half and to one
part add 3 hard-cooked eggs,
chopped, and 14 teaspoon salt. To
the other half add the carrots and
celery.
Deviled Egg Filling.
4 hard-cooked eggs
14 teaspoon salt
Vi teaspoon pepper
Vi teaspoon dry mustard
4 teaspoons vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
Chop the eggs fine. Add other in
gredients and mix well.
Deviled Cheese Filling.
14 pound mild cream cheese
1 small onion
3 canned pimientoes or chopped
green or red peppers
3 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
Vi teaspoon salt
14 teaspoon paprika
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• Lynn Says:
Don’t Ration Eye Appeal:
Foods that look their best usually
taste the best, too, because
they've been cooked and served
properly.
When garnishing daily dinner
and luncheon platters, simplici
ty is the theme. A few freshened
carrot tops, lettuce leaves, strips
of green pepper or tomato wedges
make the difference between the
family’s liking the food and mere
ly eating it quietly
Candles, simple flowers or a
bow! of fruit add to the table im
mensely They even seem to
make the food more palatable.
Serve meat balls and chops on
a bed of watercress and watch
the difference.
Or. cut grapefruit rind into
ancy shapes with a cutter and
set them against a background
of green.
Children’s Party Menu.
•Assorted Sandwiches
Hot Chocolate
•Ice Cream Clowns
Popcorn Hard Candies
•Recipes given.
Grind the cheese, onion and pi
miento. Add the
eggs, seasoning
and mayonnaise.
Mix thoroughly.
Fruit salads,
which contain
well-liked fruits,
are a nice con
trast to sand
wiches at chil
dren s parties. This one will be hign
in favor:
Orange, Pineapple and Apple Salad.
(Serves 6 to 8)
3 oranges, peeled and diced
3 slices canned pineapple or X
cup tidbits
1 unpeeled red apple, diced
1 cup seeded grapes, slivered
14 cup pitted dates, cut in small
pieces
14 cup mayonnaise
Mix fruit with mayonnaise and
chill very thoroughly. Serve on
shredded lettuce.
During the cooler weather, it is
often advisable to have a hot dish
for the youngsters to start things off
right. Now that cheese is again
available, it might be a good idea to
serve the following spaghetti dish:
Creamy Spaghetti.
(Serves 6)
4 tablespoons butter or fat
4 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
14 teaspoon pepper
2 cups milk
14 cup grated American cheese
14 cup chopped green pepper
14 cup chopped pimiento
3 chopped hard-cooked eggs
2 cups cooked spaghetti (14 pound,
uncooked)
Make a white sauce of the butter,
flour, salt and pepper. Blend in milk,
cheese, pepper and pimiento. Add
eggs and spaghetti. Pour into a
greased baking dish and bake 35
minutes in a moderate (325-de
gree) oven. Turn onto a hot serv
ing platter and garnish with chopped
stuffed olives or pickles.
Simple foods made to look pretty
are a big hit at any party and
doubly so if the
foods are ice
cream and cook
ies. In this des
sert to top off the
festivities, a plain
cookie forms the
ruff of the clown’s
suit, a ball of ice
cream makes the
neau mm raisin eyes ana cherry
nose and mouth. An inverted ice
cream cone makes the clown’s hat.
Ice Cream Clowns.
(Serves 6)
6 large cookies
1 quart vanilla ice cream
6 cones
Seedless raisins
Candied or maraschino cherries
Arrange cookies on a large plate
In center of each place a ball of ice
cream. Top each ice cream ball
with an inverted ice cream cone.
Decorate each ball with raisin eyes
and cherry nose and mouth.
Vegetable Dinner.
Remove the leaves from the cauli
flower and cut off any bruised or
dirty spots. Place it, top downward,
in a deep bowl of cold salted water
and allow it to stay there about half
an hour to draw out dust and other
impurities. Cook it whole in boil
| ing water, uncovered. Cook 15-25
minutes until tender. Add about %
cup milk to the water in which it
is boiled—it will keep the cauli
flower white. Lift out the cauliflower
carefully and allow it to drain in a
I warm place.
Scrape the two small bunches of
carrots, dice them and add them to
briskly boiling water Salt them and
i boil them until tender—about 10-12
minutes. Drain and butter.

the prices of bottled domestic

The lower prices are attributed
to a 25 percent increase in pro
duction of wine during 1945 and
to a reduction of more than 50
percent in the cost of grapes,
compared to last year, due to a
large grape crop. Discontinu
ance of the compulsory raisin

has resulted in a larger quantity
of grapes being diverted to win

By Lillian B. Storm*
Just exactly how much food your
baby should eat will need to be de
cided by your baby and your doc
tor. Not that he will eat the same
amount every day, but he proba
bly won’t vary the size of his meals ,
very much, unless there is some
reason why he is especially hungry
or why he doesn’t want so much
as usual.
Most eating difficulties are quite
apt to develop when baby refuses
to eat as much as you think he
should. He will doubtless make up
for a light meal or a whole day of
less food, at later meals or the
next day. If no fuss is made and
the unwanted food is removed, he
will soon learn that eating must
be done at mealtimes, or he gets
uncomfortably hungry before the
next meal.
As new foods are added, he may
eat more because he is growing
rapidly; On the other hand, when
strained vegetables and egg yolk,
fruits and custards are gradually
added to his menu, he may not eat
quite as much cereal. With vege
tables and egg yolk in his noon
meal, give him cereal at breakfast
and supper, leaving it out at noon

Sister Elizabeth Kenny Foundation
Appeal of which the world-famous

The campaign to raise five mil
lion dollars to wage a war on in

ber 8. "SOCK POLIO”, is the cam
paign slogan.
"We owe a duty to the children
of America to make this drive a
success,” Crosby told Mr. Metcalfe.
“All of us know what infantile
paralysis has done. There is hard
ly a place where the disease has
not struck, leaving in its wake
crippled, deformed children.
"As the father of four children
I have a deep appreciation of the
work that Sister Kenny and Eliza
beth Kenny Institute are doing and
the work that can be done with ,
proper support from the people of
America.”
Mr. Metcalfe upon his acceptance
of the state chairmanship immed

He pointed out that one-half of
the funds raised in Nebraska will
remain in the state to finance the
local war in infantile paralysis
These funds, he said, will be used
to assist local polio clinics and to
send nurses from local communit
ies to Elizabeth Kenny Institute ir»
Minneapolis for training as Kenny
technicians.
The new state chairman also em
phasized that the Sister Kenny
Foundation is separate from any
other infantile paralysis foundat
ion and receives no financial sup
port other than this appeal to the
heart of the American people.
“It’s our duty to sock hard and
score a knockout over this dreaded
disease which has crippled thous
ands of our children,” Mr. Metcalfe
said. "We owe a duty to our
children to make this campaign a
success.”
Money to be raised, Mr. Metcalfe
said, will help to:
Restore countless victims of in
fantile paralysis to normal lives.
Lessen ravages of this crippling
disease for its victims.
Enable polio Bufferers to recover
use of their limbs.
Finance full training of Kenny
technicians for permanent stay at
clinics throughout the country.
Provide periodical study courses
for physicians and technicians.
Conduct intensive and nation
wide clinical research on pollomy
eitis and related diseases.
Perpetuate and extend the scope
and benefits of the Kenny Institute
throughout the United States.
