Page 6 Áunt Mary's Column Well, friends, when the editor told m,e that I was to have a column all to my­self, I got a bit fussed as we old women do, and wonder­ed just what in the world I could ever tell this younger generation. They know ’most everything when they’re half my age. Land sakes but they’re clever! Finally though, I dusted off all my cuok books, put my glasses on just right, and here I am. Before I start my little say today I would like to tell all you ladies that whenever you come across some new idea that sounds especially good to you, send it in and let me read it too, and if it sounds just as good to me I’ll include it in my next column. How’s that? I must say this is certainly a wonderful time of the year to start writing a column, what with all the holidays just around the corner. So let’s begin with the center­­piece on the Thanksgiving Day dinner table, frosty as­­tors of various colors are always in good taste, while tall chrysanthemums also add a festive touch. Though of course if some handsome chap sits opposite a beauti­ful young girl, the flowers wouldn’t work at all! For something in a lower center­­piece try arranging one of those horns o’plenty that the pilgrims made famous, with fresh fruits and vege­tables. You’d be surprised how modern they have be­come again. For another festive touch at the Thanksgiving dinner, or to brighten up any meal, add a few drops of any de­sired coloring to your mashed potatoes. Place in an in­verted cone shape on plate and garnish with parsley around base of cone. You should see what this does to any plate of ordinary potatoes! A few dabs of frosting be­tween the bottom layer of your cake and the cake plate will keep your cake from ______________Verhovayak Lapja Appeal, Beauty and Charm Appeal, Beauty and Charm, the three greatest assets that any woman could ever possess; the ABC in the code of modern living. Lucky the female who pos­sesses all three naturally; and yet even she can accen­tuate her good points, add a touch here and there that will set her apart in any circle as the lady of the hour. It is to those women then that this column is dedicated, to those discrimi­nating in their choice of beauty requisites and meti­culous in their daintiness. In short, to the women of America, who have attained for themselves a highly co­veted spot in the sun of fashion and beauty. Women of America, we salute you and offer you— Yardley’s English Laven­der Bath Box, a gay gift for the holidays that are really just around the proverbial corner. The box attractively packaged contains Bath Salt Tablets, Lavender Soap, a generous bottle of both La­vender and Lotus Lavender aftei-bath-rub, and as the finishing touch, Lavender Bath Powder. Two clever manicure out­fits that caught my fancy, the Career Girl and Campus Belle by LaCross. Quite in­expensive, yet so compact they are positively indis­­pensible to the modern miss. In these becoming morocco grained cases you will find everything necessary for a complete manicure. Avail­By BETTY CAROL BALEGA able in black, brown, and London. EARLY AMERICAN OLD SPICE SEWING KIT Shulton offers you two delightfully new gift pack­ages in their Early Amer­ican Old Spice Fragrance. The romance of olden days is portrayed in the quaint Sewing Kit and the Home­stead Box, the latter depict­ing and old Pennsylvania homestead scene with ladies of 1825 going about their EARLY AMERICAN OLD SPICE HOMESTEAD BOX duties. Shulton has also ad­ded a companion fragrance to Old Spice, namely, Friend­ship’s Garden, a gay, subtle, feminine scent that recap­tures the moonlight-and­­lace loveliness of an Old Southern garden. November 14, 1940 LENTHERIC’S PINK PARTY ENSEMBLE Lentheric presents an en­tirely new theme in the Pink Party Ensemble, Pour La Jeune Fille, celebrating the cosmetic debut of the young girl. Perfume, Bou­quet, bath requisites and cosmetics—all are especially created to meet the particu­lar needs of the teen-age girl of today. You can’t mis­take the Pink Party pack­ages with their scroll work design and motif of a young head and dance program— they’re pink, of course, and utterly feminine! Lentheric’s LENTHERIC’S “TRIPLIKIT” VANITY new vanity combination. “Triplikit,” and their Anti­cipation Bouquet should not be overlooked either. The vanity with your monogram engraved in the center of the scroll design makes it really a treasured possession. The Orange Blossom • Per­fume that made such a hit in the Florida Building at the New York World Fair has now been introduced in an Eau de Cologne. Refresh­ing as a tropical breeze— lasting as a memory of a summer night. Well, there you have my suggestions. Won’t you try them and see what you think? slipping to one side when you frost it. Speaking of cakes, here is my favorite frosting for spice cakes. Beat three egg whites until stiff, then fold in one and a half cups of light brown sugar. After your cake has been baked, frost 't with this mixture, sprinkle lightly with chopped nut meats, return to oven and bake for twenty minutes, or until the frosting sets. The little lady who isn’t exactly fond of cooking a large dinner should try one of these new electric ovens. You can put ’most every­thing in it and cook or bake it all at the same time. It turns a one time drudgery into an adventure in the kitchen now! Basting the turkey often enough and properly insures you against a tough bird, and what could be a bigger disaster than a stringy fowl on the Thanksgiving table? For that wonderful old­­fashioned Nut Bread I have just the very thing for you— 1 egg 1 cup sugar teaspoon «salt V2 cup English walnuts (chopped) 3 cups flour 3 teaspoons baking powder 1 cup milk. Let mixture stand for twenty minutes before bak­ing. Bake for twenty-five minutes in hot oven of 359 degrees. Your salads for the dinner table are so numerous, color­ful and varied that I could almost close my eyes and pick out a good one! A very tasty one and extremely easy to make is the Waldorf Salad. Are you ready? Peel, core and dice five nice apples, add one small stalk diced celery, one quarter cup of nut meats, and one half cup raisins. Lightly mix to­gether with enough mayon­naise to suit your personal taste. Chill and serve on let­tuce leaves. For dessert there is the traditional pumpkin pie! Try adding a bit of nutmeg and cloves to the filling besides the cinnamon on top. Land sakes, that makes a tasty dish! Pumpkin pie and cof­fee—fit for a king—and don’t forget, girls, times may be a’changing, but the classic requirements for a good cup of coffee are still the same— strong as jealousy, hot as Hades, black as night! Now that we have all tucked under our belts a man-sized Thanksgiving din­ner, I think I’ll feed my cat, Mahitabell, while your Uncle Peter stretches out in front of the fireplace for a nap. Happy Thanksgiving to you all! Aunt Mary.--------------------O-------------------­I’LL BE A HERO But mother, I’ll be a hero And medals will just about weigh me down And anyway, it’s a great Chance to get away from this old town. I don’t see why you’re Fretting so, and carrying on like this You’ve always agreed With my other plans—here let me give you a kiss. Now don’t say I know nothing Of war—of filth—of sorrow or pain Didn’t father grasp at his Chance? Now tell me—didn’t he do the same? Yes, I know he left you Just a bride and I so tiny a lad, And I’ve heard of the gas that Snuffed out his breath and drove the other man mad. But that won’t happen to Me, mother dear, I’m sure that my life is charmed. You’ll see when I bring my Medals home—not one hair of my head will be harmed. —Marguerite Varga
