For the Children's Party

For a children's party buy one pound of animal crackers and one pound of Graham crackers. Use two cups of powdered sugar, add two tablespoons of butter, and vanilla to taste, then add enough water or milk to make a very thick stiff paste. Put a good tablespoon on each Graham cracker, then stand the animal cracker upright in the middle of it. When these dry, they are quite firm. They please the children and make an effective table decoration. A little coloring added to this frosting makes them prettier. A row of the animal crackers marching in solemn procession around the birthday cake is always enthusiastically greeted by the youngsters.-V. S., Beaumont, Calif.
