The next step is to wrap the dough in wax paper and chill it for half an hour before rolling it. 6. We use a lightly floured board,. to roll it out, with a rolling pin cover- • ed with a ribbed cotton pullover, which holds a minimum amount of flour evenly.

Boyle IT was storming outside last Sun- day . , one of those March squalls that blow up quickly. I hurried up to the house after choretime at noon and retired to the comfort and warmth of the front parlor and the stove with the mica-front. Mrs. Phil induced Patricia Ann to take a nap with her and I read the newspaper. Tiring of it I turned to the radio.. There Was. a variety program on the air and the announcer was playing a game with some soldiers. He would give them the name of someone and ',then they had to, describe . someone, they knew by that name: Long after the program finished I kept thinking about the names of pdople, As their names flashed into mind I kept trying to think of some- body t knew by that .name and it was sort of fun, For instance I thought of Michael . . and remembered a curly haired, blue-eyed boy who used to" spend his summer holidays on our farm here, Michael *as just natural- ly inquisitive. From morning until night lie peppered questions at every- body insight. He wanted to know what made the grain grow and why we sowed fertilizer. Father used to get annoyed at him sometimes whent he questions were too difficult and so he' would say, "You better ask God about that Michael, lie made the world." (Michael is now a scientist • . , develop- ing new techniques for our Side in this war,I heard Michael at a meeting one Wife Preservers NUTRITION Are you a vitamin fan? Every time you read a vitamin article in which the symptoms of some vitamin defici- ency are described, do you decide that that's exactly what's the matter with you? Certainly it behooves every one of us to keep up to date and learn all that we possibly can about proper nutrition. This knowledge is our weapon against these deficiency dis- eases and we soon realize the import- ance of following the Food Rules in our daily menus. We realize that if we follow the Food Rules we will not need to indulge in these bouts of self- diagnosis—followed 'so often by self- treatment, What about the use of vitamin con- centrates and synthetic preparations? They have great usefulness to doctors in the treatment and prevention of night. After he spoke he answered questions . very difficult questions about everything in general. One of them stumped him and then with a grin he said, "You better ask God about that, he mad e the world." Then there was Peter . . poor old Peter. At 60 Peter was homeless and touched just a little by rheuma- tism. Father brought him home one day and told mother that he had hired Peter to work on the .farm and do chores . . . but mother knew and so did Peter. Peter breathed thankful- ness for the rest of his life. He worked hard at the chores . slowly and carefully and then one fall morn- ing he didn't get tip and light the fire in the kitchen as usual. Father fotind that Peter's soul had slipped I away quietly during th e night without caus- ing any trouble. Peter would have wanted it that way, Peter gave us all something. He taught us as children to be gentle and hind, 'His nimble fingers showed us many tricks at Whittling and tieing knots with a rope. He showed us .how to see everything that was going the robins nest and 'did meadow larks concern for her eggs. in the field and how the rabbits danced ins, the snow on cold, frosty nights. I remember Jake, the Old sailor who stayed with us one winter, Jake had a wooden-leg an imagination. He told us fierce blood-curdling tales that can thrill me even yet as I "remember them, He talked about girls in South Sea Islands . and cannibals and sea captains who whipped their men just to keep discipline,' My Mother used to be shocked to death but father particular diseases and have been used with considerabl e success. However, the indiscriminate use of these prepar- ations without the advice of a physic- ian id usually unnecessary and very unwise. Real vitamin deficiencies which result in ill-health are usually multiple, and, hence, the hit-or-miss selection of a single -one of the vita- mins is apt to,pbe of little value. Some authorities even feel that our know- ledge of the vitamins- is . still so in- complete that it is a mistake to ad- minister to ourselves extra doses of any particular one as too much of it may upset the bodily assimilation of some of the others. So put your energies into studying new and interesting ways of serving well-balanced meals and you won't have to worry about the state of your health. You will enjoy the change— and sp will your family! was just as interested as we were in what Jake had to say, The only thing was that he'hid behind the newspaper and pretended not to be paying any attention. I thought about Raymond who used to run a store in the village and who always gave me candies when I went in with my mother when she bought groceries. I kept on Mauling for an hour . renewing old acquaintances, ainl it was. very pleasant.

March having come in "like a lion," its reasonable to hope that the first days of Spring may be fair with a real tinge of Spring warmth, which will give us all uplift in thought and inspiration to try new ways in our household duties, From the heavier meals of 'Winter Days, when more body warmth from food was necessary, change now to lighter dishes particularly in desserts, Have you thought, for instance, of new puff pastry with creamy fillings? It's rather tricky to make, but with de- tailed instructions you may try them with confidence, Having once master- ed the successful making of your puff pastry, there are numerous dainty and delicious desserts to try, For example: patty cases for hot creamed mixtures or cold salad concoctions; Napoleons and French pastrie when fruit season commences, Detailed Directions I. Sift a quantity of bread flour once, Measure 11/ cups into a bowl — do this by spooning the flour lightly into. a, measuring cup to prevent pack- ing. Add 1 tsp, salt. 2. We measure the fat by filling the measuring cup with % cup of ice cold water and dropping chunks of very cold fat until, with all fat pressed under the surface, the water level reaches the "cupful" mark. We drain the fat well, To obtain % cup butter we use the cup filled two-thirds with water, 3, The shortening and 'butter (Vs cup plus 1/3 cup) are then chopped into the sifted flour and salt. A handy dough blender or two sharp knives may be used to •cut the fat into the size of large peas. A, quick, sharp keen cutting action is required — never twist the blender as that has a tend- ency to "cream" the fat. • Wool is very much in the spring sartorial spotlight especially for little frocks of the all-day or casual type, This one is of navy blue flannel with a chalk stripe, with the stripe used both in horizontal and vertical formation, The pockets are worked into gored sections at the side.
