in 1937 Called for one cup of butter.
In the 1944 version 0? the same cook-
ie no butter at all and only half a cup
of mild -flavored fat is used and it is
still a favorite cookie.
• The -butterless, sugar -sparing cooh-
ies for which recipes are given today
will help solve the holiday cookie
problem.
Chocolate Peppermint Cookies
2 squares (2. oz.) unsweetened
chocolate
1/4 cup mild -flavored fat
1/4 cup sugar

(approximately).
Sift sugar to remove lumps, add

Salad Pointers
Serve salads often; a light salad
of raw or raw and cooked vegetables
as a second vegetable at dinner or
to accompany a hearty supper dish.
A main course salad should indude
one of •the following . . meat, eggs,
cheese or fish.
• Have ingredients in pieces that can
be easily handled with a -fork,, yet
large enough to retain their identity:
The celery in a potato salad' is as
important for its crispiness as for its
flavor. Have at least one raw vege-
table or crisp fruit in every salad
where other ingredients are soft in
texture.
• Eye -appeal is definitely important.
Add at least one colorful ingredient
to each salad. A sprinkle of grated
Carrot, chapped parsley or paprika;
beets and unpeeled sections of rosy
apples are winter wizards for adding
color. Arrangement to makes its
appeal through the eye but don't in-
terpret this as a word in favor of
the over -elaborate salad.
Avoid watery salads as you would
-
the plague. They are enough to turn
anyone against salads foi life. Thor-
ough draining of cooked ingredients
and complete drying of raw ones is
the --prescription.
Combine • salads by tossing lightly
with two forks, not by stirring with a
spoon which breaks up and packs
down ingredients.
Have all ingredients tool' and crisp
and don't let the„salad grow limp and
warm waiting to he served.
Tasteful Dressing
Erse left -over Iruit juice, as liquid
in cooked dressing. Thin mayonnaise
with orange juice. A little grated
lemon or orange rind is good too: And
how about beating a little jelly or
jam into cooked dressing ,sometimes?
You might use cranberry or mint.jelly
• for holiday *salads. • .
Lemon juice, 'honey, oil, salt and
paprika ' blend • into a .delectable
French dressing for fruit salads.
Spicy vinegar from sweet pickles
should find its way 'into French •or
cooked dressing. ' •' , .•
Try these additions, too, to any
type of dressing. . Tomato' ketchup, a
dash of curry powder for fish or egg
salads, a few drops of Worcestershire
sance, a trace of garlic, onion juice

APPLE DOINGS
Take a flyer at making applesauce
with cores, skins . . . everything but
worm holes . . . in the cookery pot.
Rub through seine a,hen the stove has
done its job and then add sugar. One
teaspoofl is enough for a medium siz-
ed apple (sugar savers please note).
This non -peeling method saves labor-
ious knife work and holds fight to all
the minerals and vitamins. that seem
to concentrate themselves on the in-
ner side of 'the apple skin.
And another word in the subject of
'apples. The long, mild fall has caus-
ed some varieties of apples to ripen
more rapidly than uaual. 'So, if you
are storing them itt any quantity bet-
ter check them over soon . . some
will have to be used quickly to avoid
spoilage.
