CHICAGO THESE TV HOMEMAKERS OFFER SUGGESTIONS TO HELP YOU WITH HOLIDAY PROBLEMS )atfafc£i If you're the kind of homemaker who is famous for a particular dish, a thoughtful and literally priceless gift to send a distant friend is directions for preparing it. Barbara Barkley, capable, tall blonde home economist who presides over Chicago Cooks With Barbara Barkley (WGN, 11 A.M., M-F) suggests you copy your favorite recipe on a file card, write a little note saying "Wish you were here to enjoy this with us," and enclose it with your holiday greeting. It's a bit of cheer which will long outlast the season. The same idea can be applied to your Christmas cookies to make them a year-round treat. Copy the recipes in advance, deck the cards with a gummed seal, and have them ready to hand out to those guests who, after tasting, say, "My, these are good. I wish I knew how to make them." Barbara studied home economics at Northern Illinois State Teachers College, is Mrs. Edward Zellers in her near northside private life! Barbara thinks sharing your homemaking secrets is a warm and friendly way to say "Merry Christmas." 'now* If your holiday spirit is great but your budget doesn't match, you'll like Dorsey's suggestions.. When everything except your pocketbook is rich with Yuletide spirit, it's time to use your ingenuity as a substitute for cash. As a specialist in making decorating dollars stretch, Dorsey Connors (WMAQ, 10: 10 P.M., M-F) confides that soap flakes put a professional-looking mantle of snow on your Christmas tree. Play safe by fireproofing the tree with one of the commercial preparations. Next, empty a half-package of soap flakes into a big bowl of water. Whisk into a very thick lather, and use a paint brush to apply it to the branches. When it dries, you'll have a sparkling reflector to enhance your lights. Your Christmas cards, too, should be worked into your decorating scheme. Try threading them on a string to festoon your windows or tack them on a screen. Chicago-born Dorsey, the mother of an elevenyear-old daughter, works hard for charity, is a founder of the Illinois Epilepsy League. RADIO MIRROR TELEVISION SECTION 57
