Pantry Shelf Dinners
that are excitingly good to eat
By Dorothy Grieg
My pantry shelf often brings. to mind Aunt Ellen, who was
country minister's wife. When church women rumbled into town with their eggs and butter they expected, as a matter of course, to Junch with the minister's wife.. It behooved Aunt Ellen to think fast and always be prepared.
One of her little stunts was la make dozens of pie shells early in the fall and park them away in the cold room of the cellar to be filled and baked as needed.
To-day one of the tricks of a well planned emergency shelf is not necessarily quantity but variety, planned in terms of put- ting together a complete meal. For instance, you can always get meal in a hurry if your pantry 'shelf holds several cans of meats, vegetables, fish, fruits, evaporat- ed milk, a package or two of ready prepared biscuit, pastry and cake mixes, a bottle or so. of pickles. And above all, condensed soups--for condensed soups have doable and triple uses. They can be served as soups. They make quick casseroles. And they're grand for sauces.
The appetising dinners outlined here are evolved almost com- pletely from canned and packaged foods:

How She Does It
Gloves For Every Duty
If you had a chance to peek int to Fay's utility closet you would see a wardrobe of gloves-gloves for gardening, gloves for dusting, gloves for washing dishes, gloves for driving.
