Sheridan Reader Seeks Flapper Pudding Data

“YEARS AGO I used to make a dessert called Flapper Pudding. When my son and his wife returend here for a vacation last week, he asked me to make some again. I haven't made it for so long, I can't remember how. Now that only my husband and I are around, I

cook differently. “I do remember that I used graham crackers,

eggs and pineapple in the pudding. The exact amount of

ingredients will be helpful.” —

Drink It Down

ETHODS of getting milk into children are available it seems. Mrs, C. Short, an Elwood reader, writes, “We had the same problem. I went to a dime store and purchased plastic straws. They come with bright color spoons on the end. I bought different colars for each child. “For Mrs. 0. C.'s sick child I would take one egg, one cup milk, a pinch of salt, a drop of vanilla and about a tablespoon of sugar. Beat

with an egg beater until frothy. It is delicious and nutritious.”

Mrs. Marjorie K. Lawrence, Mulberry, writes, “In “reply to Mrs. O. C. and her problem of ‘children who don't like milk, I have a few suggestions. If you try all of these and can't get milk down them then I give up.” . ONE. Make egg nog: Break a fresh egg into a large glass and beat it vigorously with a fork. Then add a teaspoonful of sugar or a little more and a few drops of vanilla. Beat again. Fill glass with milk and continue to Heat until it is well mixed. Serve a small portion at a time, since a large amount of food offered to a child often discourages him, especially If it is something new or something not well liked. TWO. Put into a glass about a teaspoonful of honey, Add a little milk and stir. Continue to add milk a little at a time until the honey is dissolved. Then fill the tumbler with milk and stir until well mixed. Amount of honey may be varied to suit the taste. This is especially nourishing and unusually easy to digest. THREE. Malted milk mixed with milk instead of water is nourishing and tasty. FOUR. Add a little sugar and nutmeg or cinnamon to the milk. FIVE. Use milk in foods Instead of in drinks. Make potato soup, cooking the potatoes and onions in a very small amount of water and

—then-when cooked, add milk

and do not let it come to a boil. This will preserve the vitamins and be more healthful. SIX. Serve custards and puddings, rice pudding, bread pudding and other dishes using large amounts of milk.

Besides adding three more persons to the company, two new fans to “The Theater,” and opening the screened porch for intermissions, the team has added a children’s play to the schedule and introduced Saturday night parties for the company.

be content and undemanding in the morning.

Anxious to Get Up

SINCE HE has grown older and learned there are many things of interest beyond his high chair and pillow, he stands up at 6 o'clock and scolds me for being still in bed. He is anxious to be out and exploring. As his interests widened, he found bath time to be sheer

joy. I dash water in his face and he squeals for more. His .

Daddy, a former swimming champ, is making plans for him. When he was 6 months old, he stood ‘up in his canvas chair, lifted his hands in the air away from the protecting railing, and crowed for everyone to look at him. Dr. D. thought that was a little young for him to be on his feet, especially since he was developing into quite a heavyweight, We put him into a playpen. He was content in there without pulling himself up, until about 10 months,

Gains in Weight

HIS WEIGHT at 10 months was 2314 pounds. He has progressed faster than his three brothers at that age, and past the normal for a year-old child, which is three times birth ' weight (his was 7 pounds, 7 ounces). My other children just reached normal weight at one year.

Now, at one year, Mike has only four teeth. He is a little slow about that, as were all my children, He walks all over the house without drop-

ping to the floor, but he doesn’t walk alone. He holds to tables, chairs, even the wall.

He has just completed the transition from strained to chopped foods. He drinks from a cup but still takes the bottle part of the time, I really think he prefers to drink from the cup, but as Eddie Mae, his B-year-old brother, says, “I think he has

THESE Saturday night parties give the company an opportunity to discuss the problems of the modern theater, what they can do to improve it and how they can get ahead in it.

All 18 members of the company are college drama students or. recent graduates in the field. Martin is a student at the University of Wisconsin and Paul is a graduate of the university now teaching drama at the University of Cincinnati,

This year the playhouse has arranged facilities so club groups can attend the shows in a party and come early for dessert. » ” ~ AS LAST YEAR the group will give 10 shows, one each week. Tuesday “The Theater” opens with “Harvey” to run through next Sunday. July 2, as every Monday, will he showless, but come the 34 the company opens with “Voice of the Turtle.” One group rehearses during daily work hours, fa m to noon and 3 to § p. m,, while the others are in the show that week. Curtain time iz 8:30 p. m. (daylight saving time).

The call sheet each Monday lists the playhouse dutles of each member of the company. These cover everything from serving dinner to tending the yard. Two technical directors are included in the company, Terry Wells and Betty Lou Hayden, both from the University of Wisconsin, The cooking at the playhouse is done by the only paid employee, Company members receive board and room along with the fun of doing the work they love and getting practical experience,

'Healthier Baby’

DR. D. THINKS Mike has progressed faster than his brothers, is a healthier baby. “But,” he says, “scientifically speaking, it cannot be attributed to natural childbirth. The only possible benefit to the child is lack of early respiratory embarrassment , , . during the first five or 10 minutes of life.” On that point, T would not care to differ with him. But 1 do feel that we both have spent a happier and more well-adjusted year bacause of natural childbirth. He has benefited, at least during the early months, by having a calmer and less nervous mother, a mother who felt closer to him--and his brothers—because of natural childbirth, I think the child I will have in August will benefit even more, After a year in which to look back and think about this experience, it seems to Continued on Page 35; Col, 4

iT ine yr wl FP Ra Steeplechase One Highlight of a Gay Summer Week-end

By KATY ATKINS [IGHLIGHTS of a gay summer week-end: The dance

given by Mr. and Mrs. Alex Thomson for their daughter, Judy, and her fiance, Bruce Sherman of New York . . . and the Royalton Steeplechase with attendant

festivities.

The moon co-operated for the Thomsons’ young

guests’ dancing on a platform built in the garden

where tall evergreens, sil-

houetted by hidden flood-

lights, formed an effective background. Small tables aglow with

hurricane lamps on the lower terrace were a gathering

place between dances and, of

course, for the midnight supper. “Imported” music, always a thrill for the young crowd, and especially good, added to the excitement of the evening. Judy wore a yellow gold silk net dress with a voluminous skirt caught here and there with rosettes of ostrich. Mrs. Thomson's white gown, encrusted with rhinestones, was a straight sheath to below the knees where it flared into a froth of tulle. Masses of yellow roses were used in the drawing room and red ones were on the buffet tables on the terrace. Among Bruce's reiatives at the party were Mr. and Mrs. Crawford Failey, Terre Haute, and Martha Madden and Bob Failey. Lally Kackley was among the younger guests, wearing white embroidered organdy over blue taffeta. It was a beautiful party and an evening long to be remem-

bered by the fortunate guests, A Success

THE FOURTH Royalton Steeplechase, better planned and handled than

ever, was a great success, It brought many former Hoosiers back for the week-end, among them George Bailey of Cincinnati and Edith and Phil Huffard who stayed with the Paul DeVaults while their boys, Flip and Jay, were guests of the Russell Fortunes’ sons. Mrs. Huffard wore a severly cut black dress at the dinner at Woodstock Friday night where Liz Johnson also looked especially well in a white silk pleated frock, contrasting with her deep tan. An- exquisite black lace stole added charm to Mrs. George Sadlier's black and white plaid cotton.

” » ” THE BREAKFAST given at the Marott Hotel for riders, owners and out-of-town guests was a good party. Jane Brant arranged for the horse carved from a block of ice that was the main decoration on the buffet table, Red roses and gold jockey caps on each table added festive touches as did the burgundy and blue ribbons on ‘the little iron jockey figures at the door. Chief style nate at the course was that struck by the Mexican hats worn by Mrs. Bobth Jameson, Mrs. Howard Intermill, Mrs. Jack Weldon and Mrs. Dewitt Brown. Each had its own individual trim ranging from a little man pushing a cart to a bucking horse. They were most unusual and very practical on a sunny day. Mrs. Howard Lacy wore an attractive shrimp pink outfit . dress, cardigan, shoes and billed cap all matching.
