FOOD

By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX

By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX

FINE COOK BOOKS would be welcomed by your friends at Christmas. Let’s look at some of the recent books on regional and special dishes, “The Yankee Cook Book,” edited by Imogene Wolcott (CowardMcCann), contains 600 recipes from six New England states and has all the flavor and tank of the best Yankee food. “Good Maine Food,” by Marjorie Mosser, with notes by Kenneth Roberts, the novelist (Doubleday Doran), is another collection of authentic old recipes, these from the best cooks of Maine. Good reading and even better eating. “Recipes From Old Hundred,” by Nellie J. Brown (Barrows), is a record of 200 years of New England cooking in terms of recipes used by Mrs. Brown to make her inn at Southbury, Conn., famous throughout the eating nation. IF YOU LIKE Chinese cooking, and want to try some of those delicate recipes in your own home, then select “Cook at Home in Chinese,” by Henry Low (MacMillan). It's about the best so far on the subject for American cooks. Tells exactly how to buy and prepare the Chinese ingredients. For lovers of Swedish food, there is the new “Good Food From Sweden, Including the Smorgasbord,” by Inga Norberg (Barrows). Excellent, and written for the American cook, but produces really Swedish dishes. “The Hungarian American Cook Book,” by Madame Rosa Green (National Library Press), will give the secrets of the rich Hungarian dishes which so many Americans enjoy. Old-Fashioned Pork Cake (From “Recipes from Old Hundred”) pound salt pork 7 cups all-purpose flour taespoon soda 2 teaspoons cinnamon teaspoons baking powder 2 cups brown sugar cups boiling water 1 cup molasses pound raisins 4 tablespoons strong coffee pound currants 1 tablespoon vanilla cups nut meats 15 cup citron teaspoon cloves Sift flour with !'; teaspoon soda and 6 teaspoons any type baking powder. Chop pork very fine, add boiling water, mix well and stand until cool. Mix other ingredients and add to pork mixture. Mix well, Bake slowly in moderate oven (350 degrees F.) about 2'z hours. Makes 1 large tin or 3 bread tins. This will keep two weeks.

JANE JORDAN

DEAR JANE JORDAN-—Friday a man wrote to you about falling in love with a married woman. He said he lost his wife in 1835. I also lost my husband during that year. I think I have a great deal in common with this man because I, too, am in love with someone 1 €an never marry. He is free, but he is not in my class. I can’t trust him, and he doesn’t care for respectable women. He says if they are respectable they are old-fashioned. I am so much in love with him that he is my whole life, and I can't even go out with him. Everyone tells me that he is beneath me. He is real nice looking and is a heart-breaker, The man who wrote you said the woman he loved was respectable, I would like to meet a man who thinks there are still respectable women. What would you do in my case? ANONYMOUS.

pt 2D pt pk DT OD 0G pu

Answer—It is not altogether clear to me why you think the man you love is beneath you. The only difference between you which you mention is the fact that he believes, or claims to believe, that respectable women are old-fashioned and not attractive to him. He may not believe any such thing. Men put out this propaganda from adolescence to oid age to aid them in making conquests without any strings attached. The pose is simply a method of dodging responsibility. The reason I say that this attitude is a pose is that the majority of men had respectable mothers who left their ideas of virtue indelibly imprinted on the lives of their sons. To be sure they make a valiant effort to pull away from maternal influence and amuse themselves with the opposite, but in the long run most of them revert of type and marry respectahle women after the maternal pattern. Therefore I say that this attitude alone is not sufficient to place the man in a lower class. If vou hold enough interest for him as a woman he will admire you in spite of your respectability; perhaps I should say because of it. "= & 2 ® =n DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a woman living alone. In August this year my gentleman friend disappeared in this city. I have never had a line from him as to his whereabouts. He was ill at the time and I fear he is overtaken with some downfall and is ashamed to send me word. If I knew his wants and desires I would willingly help. He was never married. His parents were dead and he had no relatives. He was 43 years old, musical, and an artist at repairing stringed instruments, I play strings myself but chords will not harmonize since his absence. If he is living and reads this column it will remind him that my loss is worse at this time of the year. My wish is to know if he lives to see the lighted candles on Christmas eve, and will he let me help to fill his heart with cheer? ALONE,

Answer—I do not wish to dash your dreams with a cynical ree mark, but it occurs to me that the man may have disappeared because he saw that you took the friendship more seriously than he did,

and he did not want a responsible relationship with you. JANE JORDAN.

PATTERN 955 COATS-STYLE DRESS

HAS NOVEL COLLAR

GETTING INTO the “holiday spirit” will be more fun than ever in this fresh, tailored frock. Claire Tilden's Pattern 955 would make an attractive, highly appreciated gift for daughter to stitch up as a present for mother. Even the most timid needle amateur will have no trouble with its easy style. See, there are no waistline seams— just neat darts to give a nice smooth fit. The double-breasted buttoning lets you in and out in double-quick time and gives neat lines, holding the underpiece firmly ,in place. An arresting note of novelty is supplied in the collar with its delightful zigzag shape. A simpler collar version

is also included. You'll like it made in fresh light contrast, with cuffs to match on the short sleeve cotton “at-home” style. Or make a longsleeve wool dress for under-coat wear now and street wear in Spring.
