Fold in whipped cream, after you have blended butter, sugar and flavoring to make a light, fluffy hard sauce.

To salt hickory nuts, pecans or English walnuts at home, heat them in a heavy frying pan with just enough melted butter or cooking oil to cover. Stir until they are well heated, drain on brown paper or absorbant paper towel, then salt.

By MARIAN YOUNG NEW YORK, Oct. 20 (NEA).—The well-placed, utilitarian desk usually is the most used and best loved piece of furniture in the living room. In addition, it often means the difference between a perfectly decorated room and one that seems to need something else. Professional decorators are putting office desks in living rooms— small, compact types in rooms with little space to spare, larger varieties across ample windows or at right angles to wide wall panels. They still like secretaries and breakfronts, of course, but the flat-topped desk strikes their fancy at the moment. ’
# # 2 s # #
IT'S SMART to put a flat-topped desk—face out—in-front ‘of the windows in one end of a long, narrow living room, leaving adequate space between desk and windows for a comfortable desk chair and a waste basket. If you have an alcove, use a desk there, backed against the wall. A hand-painted wall paper panel, a long, narrow print, hanging bookshelves or a group of small prints may be used effectively on the wall behind the desk. : There's a new look about the furniture grouping which includes flat-topped desk and large sofa, placed back to back, with a coffee table in front of the sofa and a chair behind the desk. . The desk lamp can double as a reading lamp for the sofa. When there just isn’t space for a desk in the living room, it's an excellent idea to put one in front of the bay windows in the dining room. ” # ” . 2 2 s DESIGNERS of executive desks and of those for home living rooms are using walnut a great deal. There are handsome William and Mary and Queen Anne desks of burled and crotch walnut; - Georgjan types in kidney and kneehole shapes and, in the lighter group, Provincial desks in walnut that make perfect reading tables when they aren't being used as desks. Pine desks and both bleached and natural mahogany flat-top types also belong in 18th century schemes. In modern style furniture, the walnut desks run all the way from palest putty-beige finishes to"silver-gray bleaches and fawn-tones and on into deep, rich natural browns. Newest of all is the black walnut finish, like the desk shown in the photograph here. This closely resembles ebony.
JANE JORDAN
DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a girl of 20 and am considered very nice looking. At 16 I fell for a young fellow but Mother said we couldn’t get married because we were too young. I have never seen him since because he thought that my family considered themselves higher than his family. Then all my thoughts turned to clothes. About a year ago I started going with a very nice looking fellow. I still thought I was going steady with him when one night he told me he was going to be married. I don’t smoke or drink. I dress very nicely and enjoy everything I do. You wouldn't call me conceited. Where I work I am the only single girl and most of the girls are older. They are always saying, “Why don’t you settle down and get married?” I don’t want to get married. All I want is someone I can have a good time with without finding out he is getting married the next day. What is wrong with me? DEE. \ “ . * . ANSWER—The fact that one man deceived you does not mean that there is something wrong with you. Did you ever think that there might be something wrong with him? There are very few girls, if any, who haven't been fooled at sometime or other. Courageous girls simply take it-as part of their education. Their confidence in themselves is only temporarily shaken. Girls who are easily discouraged take all the blame themselves and refuse to try
gain. Two things stand out in your mind. One is the fact that your mother rejected your first beau and your second beau rejected you. Both times you came out on the losing eénd of the line and you don’t like it. Who would? However, two rejections do not make an old maid, and you're still young enough to recover. You say you don’t want to get married. I wonder if you're entirely honest with yourself in this attitude. If you don’t want to get married eventually then there is something wrong with you, for normal women want to marry. I believe that you say this in selfdefense. You don’t want to be a girl who scares her beaus away by her obvious eagerness to get married, and you're right. However, you don’t have to pretend a disinterest in matrimony as a way of life. It rather indicates that you don’t think you're worthy of the honor. You're a bit too anxious to assure a young man that you don’t expect him to assume any responsibility for you. Men do not jike girls who demand nothing any better than they do girls who demand everything. Forget your failures. Try to find younger friends. Make new contacts and increase your circle of acquaintances. You have to be interested in others in order to interest them in you. Your tendency is to retreat into yourself when you meet with disappointment. For example, after you broke up with your first beau you thought of nothing but clothes; in other words, yourself. You should be.interested in clothes, but not to the exclusion of people.” Take heart and try again. JANE JORDAN.
