BARR EXAMINER WEDNESDAY APRIL 196 SPEAKING OF PEOPLE AND PLACES KITCHEN GOSSIP By EILEEN DIXON Maypoles flowers and little girls are sure signs of Maytlme Since we can think of no finer combination lets have party and serve Pink Almond Surprises These delightfully crunchy desserts are so light and dainty that one cant help but think of sweet little girls in their frlliy party dresses This special delicacycan be made in about 15 min utes and that 15 minutes can be day week or even month ahead if you have freezer You 588 the main ingredients are crumbs made from bitesize shredded biscuits and flavored with almond extract and butter and strawberry ice cream The crumbs are put in the bottom of pastelcolored muffin papers Then softened ice cream is mixed with toasted silvered almonds Spoon it on top of the seasoned crumbs and cover the ice cream with more crumbs Queens or MAY Thats all there is to it unless youre preparing it for the Queens of May Then youll want to put skewers or some kind of sticks in the centre of each dessert before you freeze it Just before serving re place the skewers with flowercentred lolllpops Make an attractive Maypole by sticking giant striped straw in plastic clay in the centre of serving plate Tie crinkly ribbon to lollipops and attach to Maypole with pin Cover the clay with tiny artificial flowers house You probably have some old ones around the Did you know that May Day feasts and Maypoles date from Roman times and that the Romans took the feast to England They honored the spring god dess Flora and called the occasion Floralla The Germans had the Maypole too but they also used the festival for planting trees That seems like good idea too but we prefer the Maypole and little girls as Queens of May of course the Queens must have crown so save the cardboard from Dads shim and cover it with gold foil Those old flowers that you found for the centre of the Maypole will be Just right to decorate the crowns PINK

servings ANN LANDERS Shortage Oi ShutEye Insomniacs Delight Dear Anir Lnndcrs Is it pos sible for person to go several days without getting any sleep It all Almost every morning my husband will stumble out of bed and say didnt close my eyes last night got absolutely no sleep dont see how this is possi ble but he gets very annoyed when challenge him had an aunt who had real insomniaBut this was quite different thing She used to walk around all night and never get into bed She read every thing she could get her hands on baked pies and cakes did petit point and cleaned closets We know she didnt sleep be cause she accomplished so much at night My husband losses and turns but he never gets out of bed Is it possible that he sleeps few hours and doesnt realize it Thanks for any information you can give me Dear Not only is it possible that your husband is getting few hours sleep every night but its likely Even bona fide insomniacs get some shut eye although often they dont remember and would swear on the family Bible they were up all night It serves no purpose to try to persuade such individuals that they slept People who talk about their sleeplessness are in the same category with those who like to talk about their op eraï¬ous They enjoy it TRUTH IS BEST Dear Ann Lenders My bus band and have been married for five years His first wife died when their son was three months old We now have boy and girl of our own and are very happy All three children look like my husband We have never told the oldest child that am not his natural mother Frankly see no reason to tell him now or ever Why take the chance of upsetting him emotionally Also if his brother and sister knew perhaps they would feel differently about him My husband thinks the boy should be told say what peo ple dont know wont hurt them Do you agree N0 BOAT ROCKER Dear NBR Your little motto is filled with fish hooks and booby traps What people dont know often hurts them and badly child whose natural mother has died should be told his father has remarried He should be told as soon as he can un derstand what words mean Parents who try to conceal in formation of this sort do their children an injustice All too frequently the child learns from an outside source when he is half grown When this happens the shock can be devastating one PAY TELEPHONE Dear Ann Lenders Our niece attends college which is short distance from where we live We have invited Debbie to spend some weekends with us because most college kids ap preciate break from dorm life Weve tried to make her feel at home but Im afraid we overdid it Debbie was here for week end last month The telephone bill arrleved yesterday It showed two longdistance calls which amounted to $1330 No one in our family made these calls They were placed
