WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN + Al Mixing. Bowl Hello Homemakers! Honourable mention should be made of the genius of home aids. Ever since we toured the Christmas merchandise mart, we have been excited about the many new time-saving gadgets. Here are some worthwhile gifts for the homemaker: A wonder clothesline: No clothes- pins and no clothesline prop are needed with this new galvanized wire clothesline. The four strand wire, on a pulley arrangement, has a spreader which separates the wires. The clothes can be fitted into grooves as you move the wire outward and the spreader holds them thus until it is pulled in again to a "tripper" starting point. Handy chopping board: A wide board for cutting is important but one with a hole at one end is han- dy. As you place the board of chopped food over a salad bowl, the hole acts as a funnel, Improved paper dishcloths: Easy to wring out and use again are parchment eloths. The paper is perforated which helps to pick up the little pieces. Hangar { hen tools: A wall rack which can*be put on the wall near the range is helpful and the new ones are very attractive. When in position, the rack forms a curve allowing the tools to hang freely without marring the wall. It comes complete with a set of tools includ- ing an egg turner, fork, spoon, masher, ladle and spatula. Useful beater: Remember the old fashioned piano wire whip: Well, it's on the market in an improved style, We like it because you can beat eggs with one hand as you gradually add sugar or milk, Fabric Gifts: Print or chintz aprons; bags for household pur- poses such as garments, laundry, shoes and dusters are smart. From a yard of cotton material you can make unusual toys for wee folk. Christmas goodies as gifts need not be too expensive and sre always welcome. You can use economical substitutes to advantage if you consider such ingredients as mince- meat, whole bran, oatmeal, choco- late or brown sugar. Refrigerator Mincemeat Cookies 1 cup butter, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup corn syrup, 2 eggs, 2% cups flour, 1% tsp. cream of tartar, 1% tsp. soda, 1% cups mincemeat, % cup nuts, 1 tsp. salt.

Add the flour, a third at a time, and combine thoroughly after each addition--if flour becomes dif- ficult to work it with a spoon, use the hands, Turn dough onto a lightly-floured baking board and kneod in additional flour until cracks appear on the surface of the dough--avoid working in any more flour than will bring the dough to the cracking point. Pat and roll to about -inch thickness; using a floured knife, cut dough, us- ing a small cookie cuter. Cookies may be decorated with a piece of cherry or nutmeat, before baking; | or simply prick the tops with the tines of a fork.

Rock Cookies 1 cup brown sugar, 3 cup melt- ed butter or shortening, 4 tsp. soda dissolved in 1 tbsp. hot wa- ter, 2 eggs, 2 cups general purpose flour, 1% cups each, raisins, dates and nuts, 1% tsp. nutmeg, 1 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. vanilla, Beat the eggs, add the sugar and continue beating. Add the vanilla. Add sifted dry ingredients and the soda dissolved in the hot water. Add the melted shortening and the floured fruit and nuts.

In addition, they will be fresh and neat next summer if starched and ironed just before using. 2.

By ELINOR WILLIAMS You, of course, area smooth high schooler who knows what's what in good manners and date doings. But here are the answers tc problems of Puzzled Polly and Wondering Willy: "1 was asked on Friday night to go out Saturday night by a boy I like very much. I refused on account of a previous date, but I am won- dering if I should have gone if I didn't have this previous date or was his invitation too late?" Ans.--Some girls think that a last-minute invitation from a boy means that they're second--or last --choice after he's already tried unsuccessfully to date others. This might be true if the invitations should be made about two weeks in advance, sometimes more. It's al- ways a good idea to date a girl as far ahead as possible, but last-min- ute invitations are perfectly OK for movies, a soda or snack or a double date at somebody's home. As a mat- ter of fact, most dates of this kind are planned on the spur of the moment--and unexpected, last-min- ute doings are often the most fun of all. "Please inform me if it is proper | to invite a date into your house af- ter a movie or party." Ans. --Yes, if you like, and your parents approve. Invite him in if 1 ter replaces the oil removed from the wool in washing. The effect is soft, fluffy sweaters. Mrs. M. J. says: We keep the contents of opened packages of brown sugar and marshmallows soft and moist by storing them in the bread box. Mrs. T. K, says: Sweet potatoes have more natural sweetness than other vegetables. Let them add sugar to your meals. Mr. M. C. says: Plastic measur- ing spoons in the medicine cabinet assure the family of accurate doses and at the same time good silver is not being tarnished or stained' Miss J. J. says: Tart jelly stirred into stiffly beaten egg whites makes a frosting of sweet smooth- ness in a lovely pastel colour. de Bok Anne Allan invites you to write to her care of this paper. Send in your suggestions on homemaking problems and watch this column for replies. your "deadline" gives you time enough for a soft drink or snack. If it's late--after a party or dance, for example--say goodnight at the door. Whether you invite him in or not depends on how much time is left, whether a snack is in order or not and whether he goes home on time, (For help with personal problems, write to Elinor Williams at this pa- per, enclosing a stamped, self-ad- dressed envelope for a reply.)
