Hints For Housewives

DESSERTS

I have heard a number of
housewives say ... “If only I
didn’t have to worry about plan-
ning desserts” . if des-
serts were a_ regular problem
with them.

Perhaps we might take a hint
from a good manager who uses
a sound system regarding her
desserts. She makes her plans
for the week well in advance.
In fact, she sets aside an hour
on Mondays to prepare her des-
serts for the rest of the week.

She makes a tray of ice cream,
which will be just as good on
Thursday as the day she made
it! She makes a trifle for Mon-
day’s dinner . . . there is usually
some q@ake left over from the
week-end. Then she makes a
gelatine dessert that will keep,
and often adds fruit and whipped
cream to it when she is ready
to use it. She also keeps on
hand prunes and apricots which
can be used in prune whips or
in apricot short cake ... for the
latter, she keeps a box of ready-
cake-mix on hand.

If she is baking pies, she mak-
es extra pie shells and tart shells
which she fills with prepared
fillings at the last moment, and
inere’s always a tin of fruit on
her emergency shelf.

With a few minutes of plan-
ning early in the week, she
proves that desserts needn’t be
a problem at all.

MITTS FROM
OLD SWEATERS

Almost everyone has discarded
woollen goods—a sweater, scarf
or some article that is worn in
some sections yet good in others.
Here’s your oportunity to salvage
the good sections and make mitts
for the children, and at the same
time save yourself some money,

There’s nothing very difficult
about making these mitts for the
young people. If you’re using a
sweater, lay it flat on the table,
on the double of course, and
place one of the children’s old
mitts on it for a pattern. Pin
the mitt down firmly, then just

cut around it, leaving plenty of
extra material at the edge for
your seam. Sew the two pieces
together on the machine and
your mitts are ready. If the cuff
is not snug enough, stitch some
elastic around the edge on the
inside. ot a

ANIMAL BREAKFAST
SETS

Some women certainly know
how to cut down on housework
and still have an attractive home.
One woman I know reduces her
washing and ironing activities
by using plenty of breakfast and
luncheon sets instead of’ table-
cloths.

Having young children in the
house, she’ makes breakfast sets
of oilcloth. Because she’s artis-
tic, she makes these sets in the
shape of animals. One set con-
sists of a huge elephant — this
is the large piece to go under.
the plate. Another baby elephant
was fashioned to go under the
child’s mug. Other designs in
sets included ducks, rabbits and
bears.

Cut from patterns that are
readily obtainable, they are easy
to make AND easy to keep clean.
She says the children are delight-
ed with the animal sets and they
add a note of fun and enjoyment
at mealtimes. Being made of oil-
cloth, they need no binding.

For the grown-ups’ table, she
has made attractive sets from
old ivory lace and net curtains.
The scalloped ‘borders of curtains
can be uSed for edging the set
if care is used in matching it
on. Or, if desired, a narrow lace
edging can be used. She claims
these luncheon sets launder beau-
tifully and wear well.

MIND YOUR
MANNERS

Teaching children manners and
good behavior is an important
and often difficult task for par-

to.curb.them, but on the other
d there are parents who lean
too far the other way. In carry-
ing out the policy that “children
should be seen and’ not heard”
they themselves break one im-
portant rule of good behaviour,
They become “pood listeners,”

Children, being people like
most of us, are entitled to self.
expression in moderation!
And like most of us they like
an audience when they have a
tale to tell. It doesn’t take them
long to realize that Mother and
Dad aren’t REALLY listening.
When this happens either they
become secretive, or go else.
where for an audience.

This habit of not listening —
or chasing them off somewhere
else — is usually the underlying
reason why children and parents
aren’t close . .. a complaint you
hear often from unhappy Mo.
thers and Fathers.

We all like to feel that others
are interested in what we have
to say, and We are quick to re-
sent someone who is a poor list-
ener. This is a wise thing to
remember when Junior comes to
you all agog about something
that has happened that he con-
siders interesting and exciting.
Listen . . . don’t shush him up.

If you’re -courteous to a child,
he will follow your example and
be courteous in return!
