Be Prepared
Be prepared for traveling on
short order, you war wife, mother,
sister or friend, so that when you
receive notice from your soldier
husband, son, brother or friend
to meet him at such and such a
place at such and such an hour
the following day, you won’t have
to turn the house upside down
getting your clothes in readiness
to pack. A little planning and
forethought as to your personal
appearance and packing will get
you off to a peaceful start for
your unexpected journey, and will
also prevent you from looking as
if you had been through a battle
when greeted on your arrival at

Molasses Apple Betty
A good wartime dessert that’s
a sugar saver as well as some
thing good to eat and inexpensive,!
tco, is Molasses Apple Betty, and
here's how to make it; Mix 3
tablespoons margarine, melted,
with 2 cuus bread crumbs, and
put one-third cf mixture in but
tered baking dish and top with
one and one-half cups thinly
sliced- apples. Combine one-half
cup molasses, one-fourth cup wa
ter, one-fourth teaspoon each nut
meg and cinnamon and one tea
spoon grated lemon rind, and pour
half this mixture over crumbs
and apples. Then add another lay
er of crumbs, another of equal
amount of apples and sweetening
and a final one of crumbs. Pour
remainder of liquids over all,
cover and bake about 30 minutes.
Uncover and cook about another
15 minutes, until apples are ten
der and top is browned. If you
have buttered toast left from
breakfast or want to toast the
bread beforehand instead of us
ing plain bread crumbs, it would
give your Apple Betty a richer fla
vor and browner appearance.
Facial Diet
Of course you know that a
facial diet is as nece*gary for
outward appearance and well-be
ing as a body diet is for inward
well-being. Busy working girls
and women do not always have
time for a professional facial
clean-up and bracing up as often
as is really necessary, but in the
meantime there are a number of
simple homemade packs, masks
and other beautifiers fhat one
might use to advantage. For in
stance. plain strained honey is a
good facial bracer. Spread it over
the face and leave it on for 10
minutes or so, then remove with
hot water before it becomes com
pletely dry and hard. While you’re
in the notion of this face-smear
ing business, you might try an
egg mask, if you can spare the
egg and live through the process.
Separate the yolk from the white
and beat separately, then apply a
layer of yolk and a layer of
white alternately, letting each
layer dry before going on. Allow
the top layer to dry thoroughly,
rinse with cold water, and then
apply cream lightly, then give a
final wash in ice water. If you
survive the ordeal, there’s ten
chances to one that your face will
be much cleaner, fresher and more
enlivened than before the opera
tion. Try it and see for yourself.
