SMOOTHIE (continued)

   From BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS, February 1941, pg. 44:

_The Ellises Meet_
_the Blenders--_
_--AND ALL HANDS APPLAUD_
(Photo of the Ellis family with the caption:
"Banana Smoothie!  Oh boy!"  Betty and Billy Ellis and Cousin Peggy mix their own!  Two and one-half cups milk, 2 big _ripe_ bananas (yellow peel flecked with brown) and 1 tablespoon sugar.  Flip the switch.  In a minute they've got it--a swell drink, an after-school treat for three, all for a dime!)
(Long article is continued on pg. 88, col. 2--ed.)
   At home they're constant tempters for lazy appetities.  Let your young fry mix their own Fruit Smoothies.  They'll guzzle their milk--and love it!

   An ice cream smoothie can be found in this photo caption in BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS, September 1946, pg. 118, col. 2:

_Caramel Smoothie._  A creamy, delicious sundae topping simple as 1, 2, 3.  Just heat 1/2 pound (28) caramels with 1/2 cup hot water in top of double boiler.  Stir occasionally till caramels melt.  Makes about 1 cup.

S'MORES (continued)

   From BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS, June 1958, pg. 94, col. 2, photo caption:

_S'mores_--a corker of a dessert!  Just ask the kids!  Toast marshmallows over embers.  For each S'more, have ready a graham cracker covered with same size square of milk-chocolate bar.
   Slip 2 gooey marshmallows atop, add graham-cracker lid, then squish down.  Yum!
