HUCKLEBERRIES WITH CRACKERS AND CREAM. Pick over carefully 1 quart of huckleberries, and keep them on ice until wanted. Put into each bowl, for each guest, 2 soda crackers, broken in not too small pieces; add a few tablespoon- fuls of berries, a teaspoon of powdered sugar, and fill the bowl with the richest of cold, sweet cream. This is an old-fashioned New England breakfast dish. It also answers for a dessert.

LOG CABIN features which can be combined with any bridge or luncheon menu served at a Lincoln's birthday party are especially appropriate. Log cabin sandwiches as well as a log cabin dessert are featured by Miss Margaret Ericson of the National Dairy council, around which the general menu can be built.

Cut the edges off a loaf of whole wheat bread with a large, sharp knife. Cut across the loaf lengthwise in quarter inch slices. You will be able to get about four of these straight slices out of one loaf. Roll gently with a rolling pin so that these slices can be handled. Spread with softened butter, For each loaf of bread take two packages of cream cheese, four teaspoonfuls mayonnaise and one-half cup of chopped pecans. Spread this Mixture on buttered slices and roll carefully. Wrap in a damp towel and let stand several hours in a refrigerator. Just before serving, if desired to add to the bark effect of the rolls, moisten the outside of each with mayonnaise and roll in finely ground pecans.

Serve the sandwiches stacked like long on a platter. The hostess may slice these log roll at the table with a sharp knife for individual servings.

Cut a brick of chocolate ice cream into good-sized cubes. Use the thin, round, chocolate stick cookies for logs, joining the corners as though you were building a rail fence. Top the cabin with whipped cream, giving the effect of snow on the roof.

Chocolate pudding may be served inside of the chocolate cookie log cabin if desired instead of the ice cream or a spoonful of bulk ice cream may be used instead of the square brick.

clever designs for the Valentine party.

Brown bread sandwiches cut heart shape with a cookie cutter, spread with cream cheese and sprinkled with a few nut meats, can be varied with white bread sandwiches spread with cream, cheese which has been colored a Valentine red with maraschino cherry juice.

Oblong pieces of whole wheat bread may be spread with cream cheese on which rings of stuffed olives are placed, while others can feature a red heart cut from pimento on the light cheese background. Green heart designs can be made on the white cheese with picalilli using a cone made of stiff, white paper to trace the design.

A plate of these festive Valentine sandwiches can be served in addition to plain nutbread and butter or old-fashioned "two faced" sandwiches; if a sweet taste is desired, a chopped date and nut filling may be used, or for tartness, a chopped ham and mayonnaise offers still further variety.

"Of course, all these sandwiches should be well-buttered," says Mrs. Gladys Coon Sommer of the National Dairy Council. "The health value of the sandwich is materially increased by the use of butter."

Many people find chocolate and sandwiches a "happy combination."
