Christmas Mince Pie Is Mother-Daughter Delicocy

By IDA BAILEY ALLEN

“In England, Chef,” I said, “there’s an old saying that a per- son will enjoy a happy month during the next year for each little mince pie eater in neiglr bar's house between Christmas and Twelfth night.”

“That is a good cause to help along,” chuckled the Chef. “May I give a practical suggestion? That all the mothers reading this column, together with their small daughters, make little mince pies for the neighbors. The young- sters can pack them in baskets or boxes, or tie them in paper napkins, ready to deliver on Christmas morning.”

Little mincemetat pies: For the filling, break 1 (9 oz.) pkg. con- densed mincemeat into small pieces. Add 2 tbsp. sugar and 1% c. water, or strong cold coffee, or apple cider. Rat-stir until lumps are thoroughly broken. Boll briskly 1 min; cool.

To put together: Line tart or cupcake pans with home-made pie pastry, or sue a mix. Almost fill with the mince- meat.

Put on a top crust; flute edges together: or use strips to make a crisscross pattern.

Bake 15-18 min. in a hot even, 425 degrees F. Cool before re- moving ﬁrom pans.

Variations: To the mincemeat, add 1% c. canned crushed pine—

To Leagclize

DEAR MARY HAWORTH: I am a retired lawyer, inter. ested in your recent advice IOct. 14) to a couple who blundered into a common law marriage some years ago.

Active church workers, respec- ted in their community, they live in fear of disgrace and want to know if there is any way of hav- ing a legal ceremony — without exposing the whole story. You advise them to get their pastor’s help in strictest confi- dence, in drafting a remedy. But I suggest that they need a law- yer primarily. The clergyman may be helpful with the emo- tional aspect. If they are parties to a com- mon law marriage, they are as certainly married as if they had had a large church wedding. However, let’s be clear — many people use the term “common law marriage” not to describe such, which is valid and proper in several states; but to cover il- licit co - habitation. So ~ called proxy marriages are valid only as common law contracts; the ceremony is simply for show. On the basis of R. F.’s state- ments of fact, it seems fairly clear that [F she and 11.: help- mate agreed to be man and wife, in a state that recognizes com- mon laiw marriage, then they are validly married; and their child is legitimate. Yet, even if the first state does not recognize common law marriage. stillt hey may have accomplished such by later cohabitation in a state that does. NEED STATEMENT None tireless. even if such is the case, it would be well for them to make a signed) sworn record of the fact of the marriage, giv- ing the date when it came into being. A ceremony in addition wouldn’t hurt, unless (mark this) certain financial benefits or prop- erty rights are contingent upon the first-dated common law nup- tial day. _ In several states it is a simple matter to arrange a follow — up ceremonial marriage. But in con- nection therewith, th e y ought to make an affidavit of the common law marriage, affirming it as valid (if it is) and reciting that the present ceremony is merely in confirmation thereof, largely for social and record - keeping

important in c o n n e ction with property rights, pensions, social security, etc. Also it may become important to the child later, as to her legitimacy, notwithstanding that in several states, statutes ex- l-iquid is half-evaporated.

This couple needs a well-in- formed lawyer now; and if they have no money to pay a fee, their local bar will refer them to coun- sel on a voluntary basis. 0r per- haps there is a local legal aid society. Yours truly,

Anxious Prodigal

DEAR D. Y.: Thank you for this expert dissertation on the rights: and resources and pos- sibly already valid status, of the couple in question. I appreciate your information and the kindly spirit in which it is offered.

I do agree that the couple needs a lawyer primarily. But be- cause of their timidjty and uncer- tainty, and assumption that the world would scorn them, and the church reject them if the truth were known, I felt it advisable for them to overcome this fear, at the very start of their effort to put things right.

I felt this might be best achieved by turning first to their pastor as to a spiritual father (in the tradition of the ~hastened prodigal, yearning fo r security). As you say, their pastor can be helpful with the emotional as- pects of their situation; while also II hope) using his commu- nity influence to refer them to a good lawyer, and interest the lat- ter in doing what can and should be done, to get their marriage on a solid foundation.

Coast, who was married on her

parents’ 25th wedding anniver- sary. After the ceremony, the parents stood up and the clergy- man had them repeat the vows. It was beautiful.

If a marriage license could be obtained confidentially: perhaps this couple could have an “anni- versary” r e c e p ti o n for their friends, and fellow church work- ers and the pastor: and the pas- tor could preside at an exchange

of voews, which friends might think was a "repeat" ceremony.
