holidays.

For they always come home hungry.

. nomads of old who got ready for a feast by fasting

The chief cook can serve delicious meals and still not cut in on the time needed for tree trimming or gift wrapping if she takes advantage of quick-frozen foods. They won’t encroach on the Christmas dinner | budget, either, for they were quick-frozen at the peak of their summer season, when prices were low.

Lima Beans, Penobscot

Take 1 box (12 oz) quick-frozen ‘lima beans, 2 cups “boiling water, salted, 1 package quick-frozen fillet of salmon or 1 quick-frozen salmon steak, cooked, 4 tablespoons butter, 3 tablespoons flour, 2 cups milk, 1 teaspoon salt, dash of pepper, dash of paprika and 1 tablespoon chopped green pepper. Drop frozen lima beans into briskly boiling salted water, bring again to a boil, and boil 16 to 18 minutes, or until just tender; drain. To cook salmon, place salmon (frozen or thawed) in saucepan; add 1 cup water and % teaspoon salt. Cover and cook gently about 15 minutes or until tender; drain. Cool and separate into large flakes. Melt . butter in top of double boiler; add flour and stir until smooth. Add milk gradually and cook over boiling water until thickened, stirring constantly. Add seasonings and green pepper, mixing well; then add lima beans and salmon and cook about 10 minutes longer. Serve on toast. Serves 6.

Strawberry and Grapefruit Cocktail

Take 1% cups chilled grapefruit sections, | free from membrane and split in halves 1 box quick-frozen sliced strawberries, thawed, and 6 sprigs of mint.

~The Question Box

Q—What is the origin of the bridal veil? A—There are various conflicting legends. One states that the head covering is a symbol of the bride’s submission; another states that the veil is’ a symbol of freedom and that it succeeded the custom.of the hair flying free during the ceremony.

. = Q—What is pasteurized milk? A—Pasteurization consists © heating the milk to a temperature high enough to kill all the germs that may usually be found in milk, without destroying any of the nutritional value.

Q—In making cake, how should the shortening be measured? A—Fats should be packed solid into the measure, without air spaces. This can be done more easily if :the fats are brought to room temperature before measuring. Level off the top of the measure. Jn megSuring less than onefourth of a cup of hard fat, it is best to use tablespoons. (Onefourth cup equals 4 tablespoons).

Hot Drink

Here are recipes for| quick and easy holiday week treats:|

fresh brew of hot tea served in thick short glasses is refreshing. Garnish with a few whole cloves, a slice of fresh lemon and a cinnamon stick

and warming.

Towel Tip

MANY HOUSEWIVES prefer to launder new dish-towels and dishcloths before using. This removes the “newness” or any slight dress-

labsorbent qualities. Soak new towels and cloths in lukewarm suds for a half hour or so, then launder as usual. ’

Stuck Glasses

TO SEPARATE glasses that have become stuck together, try dropping a little glycerine between them. Allow to set a few minutes. Usually they will separate easily and without danger of chipping or breaking."

Selling Fashion Is Talk Topic

Santa Claus F inds New Ideas In Gloves for Gifts

There’s an idea, which everyone will vote for. Of course, it’s not a new idea but there are plenty of new styles in gloves |, to back it up, for the American leather glove manufacturers have cer= to work for good old Santa Claus this year. And in giving gloves, consider giving—not a plain classic slip-on which is the kind of glove every woman buys first for herself, but gloves with a touch of novelty—either in cut, trimming or color—in short, a glove she'd love to have in her wardrobe but isn’t so apt to buy for

herself. Tor tailored or spectator sports wear, for instance, there’s the socalled “shoe-button” glove, a shortie of pigskin, doeskin or cape, fastening at the outside edge with four real shoe buttons. The “boot strap” glove is fun, too. It’s made of pigskin or cape in that sporty fingerfree style with contrasting side walls. Attached to the outside edge is @ leathei loop similar to the strap on a riding boot. ! ‘4 shortie with its buttoned opening on the back, called “The Guardsman,” is another excellent tailored novelty in pigskin. This glove, incidentally, changes character as it changes leather or color, becoming less sporty in dark capeskin and even more dressy in brightly colored doeskin. Less sporty, but still not dressy,

wear. One interesting style combines doeskin and capeskin, a contrasting whipstitched seam joining them down the center back. Another novelty for general wear features trapunto work in a flower motif on the back and cuff. Still another owes its distinction to an unusual cut, eliminating side seams entirely and placing the seam in a slim line down the canter back.

For Afternoon Wear

I? it’s for afternoon wear youre chdosing, consider a little brilliance. Vinylite, that new plastic which is trimming many a hat, shoe and handbag, is now to be found on gloves, too . . , crystal color on black and amber on- brown. Slide fasteners are responsible for the snug fit of another style, and the fasteners are concealed by shining silver bands which serve as pull tabs. Gold and black is a favqrite 1940 color combination and an amusing pair of black mocha gloves have theatrical masks of gold kid appliqued on the backs . . . Comedy on -one ‘hand,

For holiday evenings and formal clothes, the extremes to which you can go in new American gloves is practically unlimited. Brilliant simulated jewels, bright metal trims, gold and silver kid appliques and jet embroideries are only a few of the effects from which you may choose. One of the most dramatic gloves is
