Probably you've heard about the great â€" or perhaps "super-colossal" would be the more aippropriatt word â€" baking contest which re- cently came to a gprand climax over in New York. Even so, you may â- till be int<^rested in reading part of what a NEW YORKER re- porter had to' say aibout tih« finals of the big event. He starts in by saying that he dropped in at the Srand ballroom of the Waldorf at 10:30 a.m,â€" . * ♦ * When it had been under way a couple of hours, and, sni£fing plea- mrably, watched a hundred cun- testanti â€" ninety -seven .aproned 'ladies and three aproned men â€" cooking away at a hundred gleam- kig while General Electric Strato- KiMr Ranges, marked with red anmbers from 1 to 100. » ♦ * Pillsbury officials, identifiable by lapel tags, scurried past us, as did a dozen or so ladies dressed much like nurses â€" General Electric home economists, it turned out, there to advise contestants on the use of G.E. ranges. * * •â- Â« •A publicity lady we sought out told us that the contestant were the winners of a qualifying-recipe competition held by mail last fall, and that each was working on her (or his) entry for the final; that they hailed from thirty-seven states, the District of Columbia, and Abska; that every woman jill and man jack who had been invited had shown up; that six categories of concoction were permitted them (breads, cakes, pies, cookies, entries, and desserts), the only pro- visos being that no alcoholic liquids be used and that each recipe re- quire not less than half a cup of Fillsbury's Best Enriched Flour; that all entries had to be in by five o'clock; and that they would be evaluated â€" in fact, at that moment some were being evaluated â€" by a committee of seven judges, who would award prizes ranging from fifty thousand dollars to five hundred. * ♦ * There was quite a bit more to the itory, which space will not permit me to quote here. But the NEW YORKER man had to leave before the judging had been completed, and couldn't tell us the name of the Grand Prize winner or the nature of the prize-winning recip^ which received the $50,000 award. * * • Well, first prize won by a Mrs. Ralph Smafield, of Detroit and her recipe which you'd probably like to give a trial sometime, was for WATER-RISING TWISTS y^ cup shortening 3 tablespoons su^r xy^ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla y% cup scalded milk 2 cakes compressed yeast, crumbled (or two packages dry granular yeast, dissolved in ^ cup lukewarm water) 3 cups sifted flour 3 eggs V*. cup chopped nutmeats y^ cup sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon Method â€" Combine shortening, sugar, salt, vanilla and milk.

Still, I think they'll win you real appreciation from the folks, and that's sonie- ttiing worth wliile too.

When a sudden death occurs k' a family after wedding invita- tions have been mailed .should the w«dding be po«tpone<l ? A. Not necessarily. However, the plans should be changed. Recall all invitations excepting those of the two immediate families, and have the wedding as quiet as possible. Q. If a mail and a woman are dining together in a restaurant and the tea is served In a pot, who pours it? A. If the waiter does not pour for them, then the woman should attend to this rite. Q.

Is it all right to correct a person if he mispronounces your name? A. If he does it only once, it would probably be better to ignore it. But if he persists in the mis- pronounciation, merely say, "My name is Gordon, not Jordon," but do so graciously, without showing resentment.
