,-, -.-- y i ~ f. t THE CANADIAN 8TATESMAN, BOWMANVfl.LE THURSDAY, JANUARY 4th, 1934 P'AGE TM=~ Hints For H omebodies Wrltten for The Statesman By Jessie Allen Brownl Thse Perfect Housekeeper Heard a woman on a radio Home- maklng programme say that tihe wo- man who had a lovely kitchen, brlght with colour and with pots and pans gleaming, and everything in its place was the joily, happy, care- free woman. 1 hae' mia' doubts. Any woman who has such perfection in hier house la fnt apt to be the Joliy care-free type. She may be happy but flt joily. A tired woman is flot a jolly woman and there are neot many women who have the en- egy to keep their house at the height of perfection and yet have energy enough to be jolly. It should neot be, but for some reason or other the modern woman la apt to be a tired woman. Perfection in bouse- keeping is what we should aim at. but if we cannot attain it and stili be bright, then I would say sacrifice a littie of the perfect housekeeping and gain a littie in good humour. After Holiday Meals The hoiidays at thia season some- times leave a trail of sick chidren. Too many late hours and too many over-loaded stomnachs. It is a wise plan te have the simpiest of meais for both grown ups and children tlila week se that those overworked tum- mies have a chance te rest. Have plenty of vegetables, salads and milk puddings or fruit for dessert. Sponge î cakes are easy to digest and are a S good choice because of this. Have simple cookies and keep away fromn srich cakes and pastries. Pick out meais that are suitable for the small child and then give them to the rest of the famlly. They may be attract- ive aven if they are simple. Mark Your Recipes When you made your Christmas cake and your ligbt fruit cake and your puddings this year could you1 remember just what pans you had usçd and how much each recipe made? Just after we finish making these things we think we wifl be sure to remember ail the details but wben a year has gone by, it is a dif - ferent story and we puzzle away try- lng to remember ail about it. It is a good plan to write on eacb recipe the pans used and other useful de- talla. It is not too late to do it yet if You have not already done so. Yeu will appreclate thia information next year. Manners In Children Every one likes a weUl-mannered chiid and parents are puzzled some- times as to the best method of teach- lng manners. Manners, like morals are better iearned, nlot taught. They are contagious and exposing a child to gcod manners may do a lot. When the infection does noV take lmmediately console yoursei witb the iclea that it sometimes takes a long time to develop but soine day to your surprise, the day of good manners will have ai ived. One of the things most te be desired, la to beat ease socially. If there is too much insistence on the please's and thank you's and too many hand- abakes, the chid may be made self- conscious and you will defeat your own enda. Do not stress too muchi the outward and visible signs but let a child develop naturaUly and be scrupulously polite te the child yourself - just aa poite as you would be te a stranger. You are apt to find that your child will be polite and will develop an easy natural manner in social contacts. On Discoverlng Clams To those of you who live near the sea, clams are an old story, but te we inianders, they may be something new. They are to me, I muat con- fess. Even ait that it la not fresh clams that I have discovered but the canned ones. I found them on the grocer's sheif and aiways being on the look-out for something different te eat I tried them. We liked them very much and I have tried several ways of cooking them. If you are not familiar with them try tbem for supper some night. To make them stili better they are a Canadian pro- duct, the brand I have been using is canned in New Brunswick. First we had them in Clam Chowder made itb the usual pork. potatoes and onions and I followed the recipe on the can. Then I made a Clam Stew, making it as I did an Qyster Stew.
