.Mid-Morning Coffee

sometimes when life

seems to have too mlny brlckbats there will

come a bouquet. so thoughtful. and so surprising to leave one quite

speechless. I received mine in the form of a beautiful

cake, (I only

wish I might put I photograph in this morning to snow hnw attractive

it is.) and also an accompanying note with the cake recipe

in it to

pass along to our readers. 111 try my best to describe the cake to you before I give you the recipe. when you cut through the almond flavor- cd butter icing. you get a surprise as its no ordinary delicacy. There. just like a Roman mosaic. are colored squares. and rectangles of pound cake. In fact. you get such a surprise you don't want to touch it again but just keep looking at it and wondering how in the world it is made. The flavour and texture are so wonderful that, after the first taste it is a tug-of-war. "Will I eat it all up. or will I save it to look at for

awhile?" 0

Here is the letter-Dear E.M.D. -Just a note to tell you how much I enjoy Morning Coffee and all your interesting bits of news . . . While I was frosting this cake this morning I wondered if you would like to know how its put together. It's an old recipe of my grandmother's and I like to make it for the Chriszmas season. It's called Roman Pound cake-really just the pound cake batter divid- ed into four parts-one part left white, one tinted pink, one green. and the fourth with added cher- ries, raisins, peel. etc. for varie-:y when the cake is cold cut it in pieces and put together with A syrup (sugar and water boiled to- gether until it. is dissolved) I use a pastry brush to be sure all sides of yach piece are moistened. Put this in a pan lined with wax paper. (greased) and put a weight on it as you would press a ton- .gue and leave over night. This will keep a month in a cool place. Frost with butter icing and decor- ate as desired. I'm sending you: piece so you will know what Im talking about. with best wishes.-

Attractive decoration on the icing was the holly wreath mlde from slices of red .an.d green M91-

Heard an amusing little story from a Charlottetown lady last week which all our Community Concert members will appreciate. "l was sitting in church on Sun- day." she told me. "and heard the hymns being sung in t-he now back of mine. with great vigour. Now that person, I said to myself should be in the choir and I must mention it to someone after church." The voice sang all the hymns. bummed along with the organ and finally when the choir began their morning anthem, join- ed in with great feeling and beauty. "Now that person really loves to sing." and she promised herself again that he would be in the choir next Sunday if she had anything to do with it. When she turned around after the ser- vice the singer was gone and not until she attended the Community Concert on Monday did she find out she had enjoyed a private concert by Michael 1.ihodes.

Not long ago I went to a Char- lottelown jewellery store to try that I can't tell 3 right car earring from a left earring and that l invariably put them on the wrong part of my car. As I hadn't realized that there are right ear ones and left ear ones it was quite a revelation to me. Something else I found, a woman should choose her earrings by fihe shape of her facr. If you have small features avoid choos- ing large. heavy ones. You'll look like a little girl playing house with her mother's things rather than the sophisticate you might wish to appear. Small round pearls or cir- cular metal earrings are for you, and for you alone. If your features are large, so should be your jew- ellery. Now, your jaw-line is an- other poing to consider when you are selecting earrings. as wing- shapcd ones help to sweep the eye upward from a square jaw and heavy ones help a receeding chi.n.

HOWBVL- we met ..1e morning, if not with the agility of once, with qu:'. as much anticipation, won- dering as we opened eyes to the nc'.. day, Just what it held in store for the family at Alderles. En- chanting moments of lndolence are these when body still rests while time goes forward to meet and plan for the demands of the hours to come. We made no great. or unusual request of these only that we might be permitted to go about familiar and common- place dutles enjoying the compan- ionship of those with whom we wzzlk along our customary way. And now it comes to mind to be granted this - to continue peace- full, long old paths. is to be blessed indeed.

PENICILLIN BEFORE REMOVAL OF TEETH, TONSILS AND

ADENOIDS

Patients with rheumatism who have been advised by their physic- ian and dentist to have infected teeth removed may find that the rheumatic pains are more severe the day the tooth is removed and for days or even weeks afterwards. They may therefore feel annoyed with their physician and dentin. As a matter of fact. the extra pain is a definite sign that the infected tooth was causing or partly caus- lng the rheumatism. and it may be weeks or even months before all the poison gets out of the system. Thus, as someone has aptly put it. the factory making the poison has closed down but there are still a lot of goods on the shelves. This is why your physician advises that laxatives or purgltives be used if bowels are not working freely. Most of the poison left in the system gets to the lower bowel and should be removed.

Q. when a friend offers to in- troduce you to someone in whom you haven't the least. interest. would it be all right to express your reluctance?

A. This would be exceedingly ill-bred. One should consent im- mcdiaieiy and acknowledge the in- troduction graciously. It is not necessary to form a friendship merely because one has been in- troduced to another person.

. Is it considered. proper to use a handkerchief at the table? A. If really necessary, one should not hesitate to use one's handkerchief. But it should be used as inconspicuously as pos- stble.

Q. Is it necessary for it man to remove his pipe from his mouth when lifting his hat. in greeting a woman on the street?

A. Yes, always.
