When we leave this world of sorrows When we leave this life of care, THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1944 In Memoriam THE MIXING BOWL By ANNE ALLAN Hydro Home Economist Happy New Year to you and yours. This coming week -end is definite- ly associated with friendly gather- ings. Congenial folks throughout Canada gather together in large and small groups to celebrate the endof an old year and the beginning of a new, The entire week -end is often one of "open house"—for adults, for young folk home from school and for soldiers, sailors and airmen home on leave. Our entertaining won't be elabor- ate—but it will be as enjoyable as in other years. Resolve to start the new year by serving foods that can be easily prepared 'without waste. 0 ;g :k ' RECIPES Mincemeat Cookies cup shortening, 4 cup sugar, 1 egg, 1 cup mincemeat, 1 x!t cups flour, 1% teaspoons baking powder, Ys teaspoon salt.

During cooking, keep sides of double boiled cleaned down with spatula, TAKE A TIP During the festive week -end there will be numerous occasions when you will wish to serve cake—not the rich Christmas cake but a cake made with a sponge cake or butter cake hatter, artistically frosted and gar- nished with seasonable decorations. The younger set will praise you for their favourite cake, especially with icing on, to serve the gang" who may come in. A standard layer cake with thick cranberry sauce between the layers will be a surprise. 2. Make the Velvet Cake recipe, but flavour it with .14 teaspoon flav- oring and use 1 cup sugar and Vs cup finely crushed peppermint --stick candy. 8. For a special frosting make Orange Frosting: omit corn syrup and substitute 3 tablespoons orange juice for .3 tablespoons water in recipe. Flavour with . Ye teaspoon orange rind and 2 drops of almond instead of vanilla. Or try Burnt Sugar Frosting substituting 2 tablespoons carme',- ized sugar syrup for vanilla.
