PAGE TWELVE THE ECHO February* :Feminine News-Views: p« ( T liBe iiav ki siot bj| 5re, Between Us Girls I If you have found that one of your best living room tables is con stantly in danger of being scarred by cigarettes that will not stay in the ash trays, why not call on your nearest hardware store for a piece of ordinary window glass. Glass is relatively easy to clean, and you don’t run the risk off having care less guests mar your prized furni ture with wet glasses. If the hard ware man can’t help you, he will probably suggest someone who can. Speaking of furniture, you can do wonders with a few yards oi denim and a box of upholstery tacks. Now that the war is over, there is no excuse for seedy look ing chairs and divans, even if you are living in a Quonset hut. About the only trick to reupholstering is being sure to measure fully seats, i>rms and backs. When you have the proper figures, take them to the clerk in a dry goods store; she can tell hov/ much you need. If the chadr is small, a remnant of material is less expensive than cloth by the yard; and if you’re not sure of the color, take a snip of material home and compare it with the dominant shade in your room before purchasing several yards of the stuff. Some companies and restaurants have now installed hand lotion dis pensers in their lavatories to in sure their workers against the rough, red hands advertisers love to sneer at. In the event that your partic ular firm has not been able to take care of this feminine necessity, it is advisable to carry a small bottle of hand lotion or cream in your purse which can be refilled from a larger bottle or jar at home. In the long run, refilling from a large bottle is less expensive than buy ing a new bottle each time you run out; and with men as hand conscious as the ads have made them, soft hands are practically a social as well as a comfort de mand. Here are a few recipes for you to jot down in the back of your cookbook. The first one is a de licious salad, for four people. 1 medium sized head of lettuce cup French dressing 1 egg 3 slices of white bread Salt, pepper. Wash the lettuce, then shred it and wrap it in a towel to absorb the moisture. Leave this in the ice box till ready to serve. Mix plain French dressing—two parts salad or olive oil to one part vinegar— then add one raw egg beaten. Put this in the ice box also. Cube the bread, first removing the crusts, and brown in the oven in a shal low pan. Just before dinner, or just Wore the salad course, mix lettuce, dressing and bread, adding salt and pepper to taste. Here’s a dish that elevates the lowly frankfurter to guest serv ings. This is for four people. 1 lb. frankfurters 2 large onions, chopped 1 medium green pepper, chopped 1 qt. tomatoes 1 tsp. salt V4 tsp. pepper. Arrange layer of franks in the bottom of a buttered baking dish. Warm As Toast All through the fall and winter you’ll toast your ten little toes in these crocheted slippers. Easy to slip on and off, they’re com fortable as floating on air. Crocheted of cotton yam in a dark color and outlined in bright, contrasting trim—they would make an ideal gift for some membcir of the family. And don’t let their daintiness fool you—they can take a kicking around and still look new. (Note —Direction le^iflet for making MOCCASIN SCUFFS, Leaflet No. 4701, is available to you free at the Library.) "l HOPE THIS WILL BE PRESH ENOUGH FOR YOU, SIR/'' then a layer of chopped onions and green pepper. Alternate layers of frankfurters and chopped vege tables until they have been used up. Mix 3 tablespoons flour with a cup of tomatoes until a smooth paste has been made and thicken the remainder of the tomatoes with it. If this is watery, add more flour. Pour mixture over the meat and bake 1 hour at a moderate tem perature—375 deg. Sausages In Sherry Sauce This is wonderful for Sunday night suppers, served with a green salad. Into the top of a double boiler or chafing dish pour 1 cup sherry (California) 1 cup catsup. When the sauce it hot, add 1 lb. thin country sausage 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce. Let these cook for at least ^ hour—longer cooking will not hur' the dish. Then pour over and servf on boiled rice (1 cup uncooked rice equals 3 cups cooked).
