Children's Book Week - Louisa Mae Alcott

After the computer catalogue Tacoma Public Libraries reused cards in their scratch sheet dispensers.   Once I drew this on a yellow card with a longish, narrow notch in the upper left corner.  j / Ed.a / c.2 / Alcott / Jack and Jill.  Underneath the typing is stamped:  SO 38TH JAN '50 /  SO 38TH OCT '55 / BKMBL A AUG '57.   Today I brought Jam Squares for our Books At Twelve Ten Group discussion of Shoeless Joe, by W.P. Kinsella.  Jack and Jill turns up on the back of my Jam Squares recipe card, copied from a book about cooking for Acid Reflux.  Jam Squares:  350º  8"     /    1 1/2 c flour  / 1/3 c marg  /  1/4 c gran sug  /  1 tsp bak p  /  1/2 tsp van  (this is all included in a inky bracket) Pastry blender / combine until brumbly / press 3/4 batter into (word here is no legible)  1 c jam - spread on /  sprinkle remaining batter on top  /  bake 45 to 50 min - let cool & cut
