Mrs. Allen Wilcox, Cohocton,
N.Y., has answered our request
for the recipe for the cookies she
gave us when•we called on her
when returning from Florida. In
her letter she says these cookies
were popular in her home when
she was a little girl. Her mother
kept them in a stone cookie jar
in the pantry. We have made
some since the recipe came and
they kept moist and soft to the
very last cookie.

Of Skates
In two short seasons the local
figure skating association has
managed tQ4ncorporate into town
life a fine form. of creative ex-
pression --and with it an annual
evening of top entertainment.
This year's Bleating carnival
programmed skating toddlers and
professionals, skaters by choice
and skaters by mother's choice.
Best of all though, were those
we see and hear about every day,
who are concerned with living
right next door or on the other
side of town or in a neighboring
town ----the ones we know.
* * * *
Off Cocoon
Human children being so strict-
ly functional, we find it hard to
believe the transformation which
comes with a pair of skates,
music, a costume and the excite-
ment of performance.
The running and bobbing teen-
agers
eenagers we see on their way to and
from school suddenly become
smooth -gliding interpreters of
rhythm. They don skates, discard
mittens and here are butterflys.
1Fbr their audience too, their
carnival *as akin to taking a
moment from the hodge-podge of
living to watch a butterfly on a
fine dax.

Interlude
Spirits reach to ° touch cool air,
Feel the whim of rhythm beckon,
Feel the tempo. lift and lessen,
Know of wings an. instant there.
