Once the “dog days” are upon us we begin searching for cooling foods to make the heat more bearable. Home-frozen salads and appetizers can be very tempting indeed. Home-made ice cream is cool ing and refreshing — nourishing and delectable — and it’s no trouble to serve, and simplicity itself to make, with the help of your electric refrig erator freezing trays. ,1 * * * * There are really five different types .of ices — sherbets, mousses, parfaits, ice cream and ices. ■ , ♦ * * * j Unfortunately a great many home makers purchase an electric refriger ator, and without asking any questions or reading directions, attempt home- frozen dishes. They place the mixture in the tray and then turn the dial to freezing point — which is the wrong method! True, the mixture will freeze but it will be full of large icy particles —or layers of ice—be disappointingly tasteless. * * * * ■ For a smooth, rich, true flavour, and fast freezing, the following rules .should be closely followed: 1. The finger-tip control of your refrigerator should be turned to the coldest point at least 40 minutes be fore the ice-cream mixture is stirred tip. 2. The bowl and ingredients of the mixture should be thoroughly chilled "before mixing. The food will then freeze more quickly. 3. If you want an especially per fect dish, dp not try to freeze ice cub es when freezing ice creams, sherbets, etc. 4. Wetting the bottom of the tray causes the tray to freeze to the shelf in the unit and so tends to hasten the freezing. 5. Use recipes tested for the elec tric refrigerator, ♦ * * * Recipes An Excellent Basic Recipe for Ice Cream 1 quart milk 2 cups sugar % cup flour % teaspoon salt Mix sugar, salt and flour thorough ly.

Keep the dripping from pure pork sausage to enrich the flavor of friend eggs and for frying potatoes — cottage style or hash brown. * * * * QUESTION BOX Mrs. D, A. asks; “Is there any way of. beating egg whites, so that they ■yvill be very foamy?" Answer; If you add a pinch of salt — before beating — they will foam up, and be less likely to become wat ery (if left standing). Mrs. A. L. L, asks: “Should a tin 'hiss’ when opened?” Answer: This usually means there is a good vacuum in the tin. The ‘Kiss’ comes when air rushes in to fill the vacuum. However, if either end of the tin is bulged, the hissing may be an outrush of gas from the tin-—and sug gest. that the contents are spoiled. Vacuum-packed coffee is the excep tion. * * * ♦ Anne Allan invites -you to write her c|o The Advance-Times.

How To Build a Rock Garden A successful rock garden, even though a small one, requires a truly naturalistic setting. The way to ac quire this is by placing -the* rocks just as they appear in the woods or fields, A jumbled mass of stones without soil enough between for plant roots should be avoided, On the other hand, do not have the rock garden resemble pudding with stones as raisins, The Hostess Tray Offers Hostess Enjoyment Hints On Fashions As illustrated in the Garden-Graph, it is most important that the rocks be buried at least one-half to two-thirds their size. This gives a feeling of sec urity and permanency as well adding to the general appearance. Rocks act as foils to silhouette the plants and they also serve to retain moisture and release minerals. Everything goes into the big briny this year what With bathing suits of skin-tight fabric and dimensions to half-way ballerina skirts. Here’s a clever model, a black and white strip ed taffeta number in the gay nineties manner. The bodice is form fitting, is long waisted and uses the stripe in vertical formation. The horizontally striped skirt is done in three gathered bands. The suit closes in back with a slide fastener. Black jersey tights are worn underneath. By way of thanks, when a man sav ed' a hen from a bombed house in the South of England recently, she promptly laid an egg. * * * z • From a woman who was successful ly operated on by a Russian surgeon, the following objects were recovered: Nails from one to three inches long, embroidery needles, broken .razor blades, twenty-four steel pins, twenty pieces of twisted wire, ten sewing needles^ and safety pins. The total weight of the articles she had swallow ed was more than 1 lb. * * . * Papers found in ..Boston, Maine, show that Benjamin Franklin suggest ed the idea of a “parachute army.” Writing in 1784, he said that 5,000 balloons, each carrying two soldiers— 10,000 in all—could do an “infinite am , When yellow stains appear on clothes < during ironing, it means that the soap has i not been all rinsed out during laundering. I Ordinary washing will usually removs i them, and they may be bleached in ths ' sun if the spots are persistent When unexpected guests drop in during the middle of the afternoon, / do cold shivers run up and down ' your spine as you grope for an idea or two on what to serve? A hos tess tray is ideal about that time because it quells the feeling of hopelessnefes and -may be arranged from staples or items to be found in the average reserve cupboard or refrigerator. Its simplicity is''much to be de sired for a quick service on the spur of the moment is truly a test of the perfect hostess. The tray may include such items as sliced breads — fruit, white or whole Wheat; and sandwich spreads, such as peanut butter, jellies, marma lades, or various types of cheese; fruit slices or decorative bits of fruit may be served for floating in the beverage or as garnishes for taste and eye appeal. In serving this type of tray, guests are invited to prepare their own particular favorite open-face'd tea sandwich. This In turn gives the afternoon’s entertainment a note of informality and gayness. You'll find they thoroughly enjoy being given an y opportunity to choose their own sandwich spreads. Try it soon and notice the “ohs” and “ahs" as your guests prepare these tid-bits. Iced tea with squeezable lemon quarters is a satisfying beverage to serve. The affinity lemons and tea have for each other is almost equal to that of salt for pepper. The tartness of the lemon adds zip to the entire service both in color and flavor. This juice stimulates the appetite and promotes digestion ... two very .favorable qualities,to find ■ . in luncheon or mid-afternoon re- , freshments. To prepare slices of lemon which, will add sufficient juice for the beverage with which it is served, and at the same time lends its decorative quality, quarter the lemon and then make a cut deep enough to fit over the glass iff the side toward the waxy-textured yel low peel, as shown. In this war the colored side of the lemon lends an attractive bit of color to the glass. Any serving tray may be used, for a hostess tray; however, those- with special sections for beverages ' as well as individual, dishes for bread toppings are ideal and are so much more simply handled. The hostess has no need for fear of footing or service with a trajr which lends itself so nicely to such service. , Hostess trays are becoming more and more popular because besides being nice for indoor refreshments they also adapt themselves excep tionally well to outdoor service. There is no need for carrying many dishes outside and then, back again since the needs are very limited. Guests use only a napkin, luncheon, plate, spreading knife, and iced'tea spoon. The individual spoons for serving the spreads for the bread, may be placed on the tray. Sugar should be served a little later for guests who use it as wdll as lemon in their tea. Here we have the answer to those quakes when guests drop in, . for a hostess tray enables the hos tess to enjoy the afternoon as much as guebts'Without any fuss or worry in advance or during ' the afternoon. ount of mischief before a force could be brought to repel them.” * * * One of the earliest English pensions was awarded to the first “spotter.” In 1001 the Vicar of Pinhoe, Devon, saw !the’ landing of the Danes, and ran to warn King Ethelred, who for one was not “unready”, and put the Danes .to flight. The King rewarded the vicar by granting a pension for ever to en able him and his successors to buy a horse to travel about his parish.
