and
yellow flowers, which are quite plentiful now would all help to carry
out the idea.

_What is the seventh anniversary of a wedding called? and is the
celebration of these anniversaries out of style?_--E. G. T., BOISE CITY.

It is perfectly proper to celebrate and you can have a merry time with
little expense. Have tiny woolly toy sheep for favors and serve lamb
salad (made after a chicken salad recipe). Wear a woolen dress and your
husband white flannels.

_I belong to a little card club and have to entertain the other members
one afternoon soon. Can you suggest something which is easily prepared
and can be served as a lap lunch?_--MRS. F. T., HUNTINGTON, W. VA.

Ham mousse in individual moulds with thin bread and butter sandwiches.
Ice cream served in cantaloupe. Iced tea with a slice of lemon and
Armour's Grape Juice, which needs no flavoring.

_What can I put with my silverware when packing it away to keep it from
tarnishing?_--MRS. S.

Pack in bags of Canton flannel before putting into the drawers or boxes
and place with them a few pieces of camphor gum.

_Please tell me if it is proper to eat cake with the fingers or must a
fork be used?_

It depends on the cake. If one with a soft filling, a fork will be
necessary.

Requested Recipes

FOR G. H.

Molasses Custard

Take one cup molasses (ribbon cane is the best; I have never tried corn
syrup), add one half cup sugar, stir well and put on fire to boil for at
least five minutes. Let cool for a short time, than add three
well-beaten eggs, stirring constantly to keep the eggs from curdling.
Add a tablespoonful of cornstarch. Bake in pie crust in the regular way
but slowly. To keep from browning too quickly I sometimes place a tin in
oven over pie.

Many thanks to Mrs. F. A. F., Jacksonville, Texas.

FOR MRS. T. H., OSWEGO, N. Y.

Boiled Bacon

Place the bacon in a saucepan with sufficient cold water to cover it.
Bring the water to the simmering point and simmer gently until done
(time, about half an hour for a pound for large pieces, less for
smaller). Add to the water an onion with two or three cloves stuck in
it, one carrot, one turnip and some sticks of celery. Skim carefully
several times. When done, remove the skin and cover with browned bread
crumbs.

Found Out!

When making shells for custard and lemon pies prick the crust all over
with a fork before baking. Bake the shells over an inverted pie plate,
then place them in pie
