Here's Way to Make Persimmon Pudding A la Brown County
New Column to Answer Queries On Household Problems, Recipe Requests
Dear Editor:
\
I ama new resident of Indianapolis and for a long time I have heard about Indiana's famous persim-
mon pudding.
Persimmon pudding recipe?
I would appreciate a recipe for it.
Mrs. J. R. H. Hmmm, not a bad idea with
the persimmon season coming up, reasoned the staff members
in the Woman’s Department.
So they contacted Mrs. Walter Baughman, Nashville, who is famous all over Brown County for her persimmon pudding. And Mrs. Baughmam, ‘not being one of those cooks. who Keep their best recipes a secret, obliged. “I would be pleased to give people my recipe for persimmon
pudding,”
said Mrs. Baughman.
And the letter from the newcomer also gave the editor an-
other thought.
There must be a lot of women in Indianapolis, new residents
and old, who would like to exchange recipes-and-household hints for their mutual benefit.. :

several more communications around the desk waiting to be answered. For instance, there was a letter requesting information on how to mend a cracked aquarium,

for a recipe for making plain

H., we give below Mrs. Baughman's persimmon pudding recipe, fresh up from Nashville. There's space for just one more letter the Woman's Page received recently. It's from Mrs. E.

to comings rather than goings which is one of the nicest
things about the autumn.
I had pleasant traveling companions both going and coming last week when I spent a few days in New Haven, Conn. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Bennett were on the train both ways, and we met in The Oyster Bar in Grand Central Station Saturday night. They saw “South Pacific” which is still a major triumph. Coming home -Dr:-and Mrs. Chester Sfayton- and their daughter Janet; told me something of their interesting European trip. They had landed the day before on the Coronia. . Like all returning travellers, they were impressed at the scant amount of war talk in Europe where it is pretty much referred to as the United States war. They saw Frances Nafe who got home
Sunday too. That “was Dr. and Mrs.
Stayton’s wedding - anniver-

Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Johnson came from Wilmington the same day, having stayed with Mr. and Mrs. Will Dupont for a steeplechase.
