THE Women's Page ☆ FEATURES * NEWS ☆ HOUSEHOLD HINTS All Of Interest To The Feminine Folk Of Transylvania County Artistic Cook Can Make Tasty And Colorful Desserts Almost any artistic cook can make desserts beautiful to look at, colorful, interesting, and appetite appealing. Puddings, ices, and ice creams, pies, cakes, fruits, and an almost endless combination and variation of these make up the wide dessert range that it is possible to menu planners in America. National sur veys show that homemakers ask food columnists for dessert reci pes more often than for other types, showing the widespread interest in this course. There are many short-cuts to making desserts now that pack aged cake, puddings, and pie fill ings are on the market. Frozen and canned fruits make almost any needed ingredient available all the year round. One of the simplest forms of dessert—ambrosia — is one that your family will like. It is made into a sundae, using either vanilla ice cream or orange ice for a base. All you do is peel big, juicy oran ges and divide them into segments. Mix these segments with coconut and chill for several hours until serving time. There are two ways to serve this ambrosia topping. Either spoon it —juices, too—over the ice cream in sherbet glasses or pass it in a crystal dish and let family and guests serve themselves. Nylon Is Nice Get off to a good start on your spring wardrobe with this nylon lovely so easy to make. It re quires one and an eighth yards of pleated nylon and some velvet ribbon for trimming the neck.

COOKS’ ORNER -BY ADELAIDE VAN WEY Today I’m going to give you a dozen cake frostings that all stem from one quick and easy classic.

The Chi nese say a long time ago their people fell ill from drinking un sanitary water. Taking advice of counselors, the emperor decreed all drinking water must be boiled. Now, there is nothing pleasant about boiled water, so herbs were added. But it seemed in vain until one day a very learned Buddhist priest watched monkeys in a mon astery garden. He noted that dur ing May, June and July, the ani mals nibbled at a certain shrub. The priest liked the smell of the leaves, called for boiling water, saw it turn the color of amber and emit a sweet fragrance. The taste was welcome. The priest found more leaves and dried them in the sun, then repeated the experiment. The drink was better, the emperor him self tried it, and so the story goes, in the dialect he spoke, he called the drink “tay.” The Chinese will tell, you tea leaves dried in the sun are better than those baked by fire; amber is the proper color; it is best always to use fresh boiled water as oxy gen vanishes with too much boil ing; and if sugar is to be added at all, it should be pure, ungranu lated cane sugar. NEW FABRICS Carnation and polka dot printed fabrics in pretty colors are going to be spring favorites. A big de partment store’s exhibition of model rooms featured a series of ready-made ensembles for bed rooms as well as custom-made en sembles in yellow, pink and violet carnations, White polka dots on charcoal, cherry red, pink, yellow, willow green, brown and blue are pleasing partners for the lively carnation. Custom-made schemes show the carnation and polka dot printed fabric for slip covers and upholstery. The same carnation de sign appears on sailcloth in two living room schemes in which dra- “ peries and furniture covers are • made to order. All the fabrics, > whether printed, plain, in chintz or sailcloth are available by the yard. NOTICE State of North Carolina County of Transylvania.
