0W TO ilMffi GOOD CUSTARD PIE;
VARIED RECIPES BY MRS. WILSON
fcTne Good Old-Fashioned Kind and Cococtnut and Peach
'- of the Success of a Meringue and Other
You Will Like to Remember
ALMOST very housewife has her
own method of making custard
pic. Some will pour the prepared
custard into a pie tin lined with plain
pastry and then bake in the oven
until firm, while others first bake
the crust upon the inverted pie plate,
then, when cool, place the crust in
the pie plate and pour in the custard,
then bake until the custard is firm
in the center.
No matter which method is used,
the pie is frequently topped off with
a meringue. It is with the meringue
that the housewife usually has poor
or indifferent results. Indeed, it i
a rare exception when one has per
fect success with this meringue.
How to Make a Good Custard Tic
The most important point in the (
custard pic is the crust, which will
either make or mar the pie. So to
begin with, the pastry should be
light and delicate. To make pastry1
for custard pie place in a bowl
Two cups of flour.
One-half teaspoon of salt.
Two teaspoon-! of baking pouifcr,
Two tablespoons of sugar. j
Sift to mix and then rub in one
half cup of good shortening, and ,
then mix to a dough with one-half
cup of ice water. When mixing this ,
pastry to a dough it is most impor
tant that it should be cut and folded1
together, much after the method
used in cutting and folding the
whites of eggs into a cake. Care at
this point in making the pastry will '
prevent it from becoming tough.
Now wrap the pastry in wax or'
parchment paper and place on the i
ice to thoroughly chill for two hours.
Now, if the pastry is made either
the day before or early in the morn
ing and then allowed to blend it will i
be delightfully light and flaky. ,
Now to prepare for the pie. This '
amount of pastry will be sufficient ,
for two large pies, one custard and
one lemon, for variety. The trim
mings can be made into little tarts,
turnovers or cheese straws. Divide
the pastry into two parts and then
roll out one part on a lightly floured
board until sufficiently large to fully
cover the pie tin. Now fold care-1
fully in half and then in quarters,
and lift on the pie plate and open,
covering the pie plate, easing on the ,
astry. Trim the edges and then
roll out the trimmings into a long, ,
narrow strip. Cut into strips three-
quarters inch wide and then brush
the edge of the pastry on the pie
plate with water and add this narrow
strip as a re-enforcement to build up
the edge. This will prevent the cus- j
tard overflowing. i
Now brush the pastry in the bot-1
torn of the pie plate with melted '
shortening, taking care to thor-'
oughly coat the entire surface with
the shortening. Then pour in the
prepared custard. Reserve about one '
tablespoon of the custard to brush
the pastry around the edges. Place
in a slow oven and bake until the
'custard is firm in the center.
To test if custard is baked, gently
fnaprt. n riIvpt knifi inrn tVio riietnrrl
taking care that the knife does not
pierce the crust.
Brushing; the pastry with the
shortening before pouring in the
custard prevents the moisture from
soaking into the crust.
To make a cocoanut pie, add one-
half cup of cocoanut to the custard
pie just before putting in the oven.
Now to prepare the filling for the
custard pie: Place in a mixing bowl
One and one-quarter cups of milk;
Yolks of two eggs,
One whole egg,
One-half cup of mtgar,
One-quarter teaspoon of nutmeg,
Beat with an egg beater to thor
oughly mix and then pour into the
prepared pastry-lined pie tin. Use j
whites of eggs for meringue. i
Some Varieties of Fancy Custard '
Pics
Peach Custard
Crush a sufficient number of pared i
peaches to measure one cup. Place
in a mixing bowl and add
One-half cup of sugar,
Now place in a saucepan
Three-quarters cup of milk,
Two tablespoons of cornstarch. !
Stir to dissolve and then bring to a
boil. Cook for two minutes and then
pour very slowly, while beating hard
to blend, on the peaches nnd sugar
that are blending in the mixing bowl.
Add
Yolka of two eggs,
One-quarter teaspoon of cinnamon,
Beat again, then pour into pre -
pared pie plate lined with pastry and

Use whites of
eggs for meringue

and bring to a boil. Cook until de
sired result is obtained, then strain
and fill into glasses. Use one-quarter

Seashore Dancing
Dear Cynthia We nre two girls,
fifteen nnd sixteen, respectively, nnd
are constant renders of your column.
Is it proper for us to dance with stran
gers on the piers? Should wc nllow
strnnge boys of our ages whom we meet
on the pier fo escort us home? How
many times should n girl dance, with a
boy in one evening? Are we too young
tn go to the piers nlone nnd dance nil
evening? M. C. nnd F. T.
It Is not proper for young girls of
nny age to dnnce with strangers onthe
piers, nnd, of course, not the right
thing for strangers to tnkc you home.
I enn't make this too strong. In cos
mopolitan places like the resorts, where
thousnnds of persons pour In and out
dally, you haven't nn earthly Idea with
whom you me associating. Plenso
don't do it, gii!. irls of fifteen nnd
sixteen arc not supposed to have boys
dangling nt their heels every minute.
It depends on the rirciimstnnces nn
to how often n girl ought to dnnce with
n young man in nn evening. At nn
ordinary dnnce I should say three times
Is a fnir number. However, when a
crowd of young people go to a pier they
genernlly just keep on exchanging
dances between couples the entire eve
ning, nnd when n boy nnd girl go to
the pier without knowing any one else
there Is nothing to do but dnnce with
each other.
You nre both too joung to go to n

I escort n girl of fifteen is too young to
go to dances without an older person.
To "Tired and Weary"
Denr Cynthia I hnve never written

peacefully breaking buttered tonst with
fathers-in-law nnd mothers-in-law nnd
various sized little-ln-laws every morn

no accidents have been reported.
The mother-in-law, be she hers or
his, has ccrtninly won her spurs during
the last two yenrs. First it was the
war. His mother opened wide her henrt
nnd her home to the girl she hnd never
met until two weeks before the hasty
enmp wedding, nnd she kept them open
for the duration of the wnr. And now
it is the housing sltiintlon. With the
homecoming of troops from overseas
there is an unprecedented rush nt wed
dings, nnd if it weren't for the wel
coming nrms of in-laws on both sides
I nm afraid the ncwlyvveds would be
"tenting tonight," in tile literal sense
of the word; or. what is more probable.
the couple would simply have to wniti
tn be married until -the strnin on the
demnnd for houses nhntes.
Tint this isn't Jinppening. Tn fact,
the couples nre mnde wholeheartedly
welcome, and I have heard more than

the mother-in-law
her snurs. She took
whole "fnmilj fuls" of children under
her roof nnd cared for them just as her
own when their mother went off to the
munition fnctories. In some cases she,
too, wns in similar war work, nnd then
it was n very chummy pair indeed
who put the children in the public

formed In those dark days that all of
the cynical talcs of mothers-in-law that
exist could not do the least to upset.
The same can be said of America.
Suffering lu w common cause and ex
changing precious letters from the samo
man were nn indeocrlbnble bond between
nn older nnd n jmuiger woman. Anj
now that the suffering Is over, what
then? Well, wc hnve become stnrtlngly
brave nnd original. After trill, the old
theories didn't wenr very well In emer
gencies ; so could they hnve been so
unalterably true? Wc have nt Inst
learned the real meaning of thnt trite
old saying, "Circumstnnces niter cases."
Wo- hnve learned thnt you never know
what .von will do until you do It. We
are no longer too proud to change our
minds. We live with our mothers-in-law
nnd we like it!
