Everyone loves the crisp brown meat, and when the ribs are accompanied by barbecued skewered fruits it makes for mighty fine eating' To ensure that the ribs \*.ill be well done at serving time, they are pre-haked for an hour in the oven before the final grilling outdoors. Pure unsulphured molasses, made from sugar cane grown in the West Indies, provides the most mellow flavor base for a versatile barbecue sauce t ombined with vinegar, mustard and seasonings, the spicv sweet tart sauce is as good brushed on ham burgers, chicken and turkex parts as it is on the spareriba It gives meats an appetizinglv rich color and luscious flavor. Banana and pineapple chunks and red cherries, alternated on skewers and brushed with the *auce, make a colorful and juicy accompaniment to the ribs Barbecued Spareribs With Fruit 1 tablespoon celery seed tablespoons Worcestershire sauce Green-tipped bananas Pineapple chunks Maraschino cherries 6 pounds (2 racks) spareribs 1teaspoons salt 1 lemon, thinly sliced cup unsulphured molasses cup prepared mustard Vs cup vinegar 2 tablespoons soy sauce Cut spareribs into serving pieces: place them, meaty side up. on shallow foil-lined baking pan Spnnkle with salt.

YIELD: 4 to 6 servings Toss Meat Balls With BY SALLY SHAW DEAR SALLY: When a girl has had her first-ever date with a boy she likes, what is the proper way to end the date when he brings her home? Is it proper for her to thank him for an enjoyable evening, or if she lets him kiss her goodnight, is that thanks enough? KATHY. DEAR KATHY: Although there are some who think it improper for a girl to thank a boy at the end of a date, I see nothing in the least wrong with her telling him what a nice time she had, how much she enjoyed the movie, or the dancing, or whatever. As for that goodnight kiss, this is something I cannot heartily en dorse on a first-ever date. Most worthwhile boys have more re spect for the girl who withholds her kisses for at least two or three dates, or at least until she and the young man know each other better. DEAR SALLY: I’m an un married woman, and have re ceived an invitation to a week end party where I’ll be a house- guest. Do you think it would be all right for me to take my little dog alone with me, or should 1 ask my hosts for permission to do so? Otherwise, since I live alone, I should be com pelled to board the dog out some where. I’ll appreciate your comments on this. VIRGINIA. DEAR VIRGINIA: Obviously, the dog hasn’t been invited -- and so, you don’t take him with you, and you don’t even ask per mission of your hosts to do so -- no more than you would ask per mission to bring a friend along as a house guest in someone else’s home. This would be the height of presumptuousness on your part! DEAR SALLY: I’m a widower, and about to become engaged again to a very lovely young woman. However, she’s objecting strenuously to my suggestion that she wear my late wife’s ring -- which is a very beautiful and ex pensive diamond. She claims she would be extremely uncomfort able wearing another woman’s ring. I think she’s being silly and unreasonable about this, don’t you? SCOTTY. DEAR SCOTTY: No. I’m sure I would feel uncomfortable, too, about wearing a ring that was formerly symbolic of another woman’s engagement. This is one of the most important and signi ficant gifts a woman receives from a man. Why not have that beautiful diamond reset . . . then the ring will really be new, and I’m sure you’ll have a happy fiancee. DEAR SALLY: We are very much concerned about our 25- year-old son. He has had several dates with a certain attractive young woman in our community who was divorced recently, aind although we aren’t overly pru dish and have never been the “over-protective’ type of parents, still we think our son is way out of line here. Don’t you think, as we do, that it’s definitely improper for a man to go out with a woman too soon after her divorce? ETHICS. DEAR ETHICS: Just as soon as a woman receives her final de cree of divorce, she is no longer a married woman . . . and so, of course, your son cannot possi bly be “out of line” dating an unmarried woman. NOTE TO MIXED-UP: The only sensible and fair thing for you to do is to have a frank talk with your fiancee, tell her about the change in your feelings, and break the engagement. It was a tough break for her to have be come so deeply involved with the kind of fellow who obviously isn’t ready yet, or hasn’t matured enough, to settle down with any one girl. HOW CAN I?
