Yet a child has some special claim cm cmr consideration, for he is storing up memories that form the riches of the years to. come and we would not want him to carry into life the scars of disappointment over a Christmas that held no surprises. Tet there is no room for the silly toy that is brohen before the day is over, or a gadget that is simply amusing. Whatevex- the gift be, it should, contribute something toward the child’s inward growth.

Looking up with troubled gray eyes she said. “Did you see a little pink hat?” Considering the situation in all its implications, she competently decided to stay where she was until rescue arrived. If - the lady under the “little .pink hat” was half as winsome as her wee daughter, the reunion would have been well worth waiting to see. * * . * * AERONAUTICAL ENGINEER Last week this column published a list of names of prominent Can­ adian women, among them ithat of Elizabeth (Elsie) MacGill. For the past three years this young lady has held the position of chief aero­ nautical engineer in the Canadian Car and Foundry plant in Fort Wil­ liam, one of the largest aircraft fac­ tories in the Empire. She is, we understand, a victim of the cripp­ ling effect of infantile paralysis, and must have, in no small degree, that indomitable courage that has motivated su'ch people as Mr. Roose­ velt, and so deserves an extra mea­ sure of admiration She has .the dis­ tinction of being the first and only woman in Canada to have designed a new and successful type of air­ plane, known as the “Maple Trainer II”. It was designed primary training machine. « * * PRICE CONTROL FOR jOLOTHING The Price Control Board has been busy again, this time in the line of women’s garments. Hats are to be frozen in their present design—no new shapes. (We can easily fix that with a new doo-dad in a dif­ ferent place.) No more odd shades in shoes, just staple colors, white shoes .next year. The viously announced rationing of , polish does not fit in so well that. » No Ion, gowns. plain gold band used to help tie an enduring knot, so what?) Above all we are admonished to buy no new garments if the old will do or make over. By the first of February there will be patterns available by which to cut the styles, which al­ low for a minimum amount of ma­ terial. Happy is the woman who can make a dress for herself. And now for a little rhyme that fits in here: To the Lassies of the C.W.A.C.

KITCHEN KINKS I find the lining in men’s leather mittens wears out very quickly while the leather is still good. I have relined some by using a pair of heavy wool socks that are past mending.

I think the method was to shake them in a jar. This week Mrs. Aylmer Macpherson published a recipe for this process, slightly dif­ ferent view. tioning where, clip this and keep it safe against the evil day. In trying out this recipe I made a mistake in adding the liquid gela­ tine to the chilled milk. It did not dissolve perfectly and the batter had, a few particles of ithe gelatine through it. It would seem to be important that the milk be at room temperature. Otherwise the product was good. Two Pounds Buttei- for One Take 1 pound butter from, your ice box, and allow it to stand in room temperature until very soft, but do not allow it to melt. In the meantime soak 1 .tablespoon gela­ tine in % cupful cold water for 5 minutes, then dissolve it over hot water. Add the dissolved gelatine to 1 pound can irradiated evapor­ ated milk, and gradually whip this into the pound of softened butter. Keep on beating, with a rotary bea­ ter, until the milk is thoroughly beaten into the butter. Add a little salt, place in a crock, and set in the ice box to harden. refrigerator will make 2 butter will tory results of cakes or cookies. (I tried it beaten with equal parts of honey and a little cinnamon for a toast spread and it was delicious.)

Now add % bar of semi-sweet choco­ late, cut in coarse pieces. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, not allowing the oven to go above 375, as too great heat melts the chocolate. Soya Beans in Cooking A nutrition-conscious America has only recently discovered the soya bean (used in paints, soaps, etc.) and the pulp which has proved ex­ cellent in stock-foods. But we are only beginning to use it in the diet of human beings. The Chinese have for centuries seasoned their foods with soy bean sauce, the fresh sprouts form an important part of their daily diet, and red cheese made from the bean-curd is a fre­ quent ingredient in their cooking. This year’s seed catalogue adver­ tised soya beans to be grown for the sprouts, which can be done in any cellar. These are used in sal­ ads. A pound of beans, successfully cultivated, will grow nine pounds of sprouts in a few days. These sprouts can now be had in cans and can be bought fresh in Chin­ ese stores. The'flour made from the dried beans is very -high in vita­ min content and can be successful­ ly mixed with ordinary flour in rolls and bread, giving a sweet, nut­ ty flavor. Chinese Rice While on the subject of Chinese cookery we think of rice, a natural accompaniment meal. Those who have China invariably say that is so much better when cooked the Chinese way. Here is the recipe given by Mr. Chan, a- famous chef: 1 cup of uncooked .grain should yield 3 cups cooked. Wash the rice in many waters till the washings are«no longer of a milky color. Place the desired amount of rice in a kettle and Cover to a depth of one-third of an inch with cold er. Cover and bring to a quickly. Allow to boil for 3 minutes. Reduce heat and for 4 minutes. Reduce heat again and cook very slowly for about 20 minutes. Do not stir. Rice should be dry, flaky and light. Serve at once. which is to every lived in the rice Wat- boil only Cook s!s « * ir: dowager as she watched busily enjoying them- my young days shaking Said the the crowd selves: “In in one’s shoes was a sign of timidity, but now It’s merely a new dance.” In spite of the fact that in some Canadian cities butter supplies recently, have not bhen sufficient to meet the greatly increased demands, the situation does not constitute an emergency; nor is it as serioujs as some people seem to think. There are two main causes for these temporary and' local shortages: For the past year we have been consistently using 10% to 15% more butter than in normal times—- with consequent disturbance to the distribution of our butter supplies. Many people have been buying more butter than they currently need. The limited nature of the present shortage is shown by the fact that if every home would reduce its consumption of butter by only one ounce per person per week (for the average home this means a quarter of a pound a week)—or if we reduced our national consumption to the peacetime rate—the shortage would soon disappear. There is no Reason for Panic Buying It is unpatriotic and unnecessary for housewives to rush out to beat their neigh­ bours to the nearest grocery store. Butter will not" be rationed to meet the present HOW TO SAVE BUTTER AT MEAL-TIME 1. Use butter only for spreading on bread. 2. Never use butter just out of the refrigerator. Wait until it is soft enough to spread easily. 3. Add a small amount of milk when creaming butter for sandwiches. IN COOKING 1. Do not use butter in baking and cooking, when lard, shor­ tening or be used. 2. Use level butter. . . waste! 3. When adding cheese to a cream or white sauce, use only half amount of butter stated in recipe. 4. Use paper wrappings from but­ ter to grease baking dishes. 5. Do not use butter for re­ warming vegetables. 6. Serve meat gravy to avoid- the use of extra butter on potatoes. 7. When adding butter to vege­ table dishes, add it sparingly. Do not melt it and then pour meat dripping can measurements of . Guesswork means situation. Butter production is actually above normal for this time of year. The Board itself is taking special action which it is believed will speedily restpre normal supplies in retail stores. These supplies will however be adequate for normal consumption, if housewives in all parts of Canada co-operate. You can help in these ways: Scrupulously avoid waste and extravagance. Waste is wrong at all times. In time of war it . is sabotage. • Reduce present consumption of butter by at least one ounce per person per week—(for the average home this means a quarter of a pound a week.)
