(See Recipes Below) COMMENCEMENT TIME You can’t believe it, can you? Susie is graduating from high school! In between putting the final stitches on her organdy dress and entertaining visiting friends and rel atives, are you going to try to find time to give her a party? Please do. To her, it’s a very im portant time, and she’ll undoubted ly remember the gang’s “last real get-together’’ for the rest of her life. Why not a buf fet supper? What with wars raging elsewhere, you might play up the patriotic theme in decorations, re freshments and entertainment. , Use a white tablecloth, dotted with red and blue stars, and matching napkins — they’re inexpensive and colorful. To top this off, use a trio of star-shaped red, white and blue candles for a centerpiece. It won’t be necessary for you to do much, except, of course, prepare the food. Games and chatter will fill up the evening. But remember that you have as guests youngsters with appetites. They like second helpings. Serve an appetizer, one hot dish, plenty of salad and hot rolls, more cake or ice cream than you think you will possibly need, and flatter their*sense of sophistication by of fering second cups of coffee. A fortune telling cake is always fun when the crowd is young and merry. You can write fortunes on slips of paper, roll them and wrap them in bits of waxed paper, and put them in the cake after it is baked. Another idea is to put in a little trinket for each guest—an en- gagefrient ring and a wedding ring, to forecast the first engagement and the first marriage; a key for happi ness; a bean for industry; a toy soldier and so forth. You can buy these favors at the ten-cent store. *Good Fortune Cake. 2 cups sifted cake flour 2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder Vz teaspoon salt % cup butter or other shortening 1 cup sugar 3 egg yolks, well beaten % cup milk 1 teaspoon vanilla 3 egg whites, stiffly beaten Sift flour once, measure, add bak ing powder and salt, and sift to gether three times. Cream butter thoroughly, add sugar gradually, and cream together until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks, then flour, al ternately with milk, a small amount at a time. Beat after each addition until smooth. Add vanilla and fold in egg whites. Bake in two greased 9-inch layer pans in moderate oven (375 degrees) 25 to 30 minutes. Dou ble the recipe to make three 10- inch layers. Spread chocolate or maple frosting between layers and on top and sides of cake. LYNN SAYS: Games may or may not be the type of entertainment your crowd will enjoy. Just in case—here are a few suggestions: As soon as guests arrive, they receive a card with the name of a food printed on it. Each player must then find someone with the card with the name that combines with the name on his own card. Suggested names are liver and bacon; apple pie and cheese; sauerkraut and wieners; brown bread and baked beans; ham and eggs; bread and but ter; doughnuts and coffee; steak and onions; hot dogs and mus tard. This game may be used in choosing supper partners. • • * Sardine—Some guest is chosen to be “It,’* and is given five min utes to hide in a spot large enough to hold several people. At the end of five minutes everyone else goes in search of “It." When one guest finds “It" he hides in the same spot and before long the hiding place is packed. The first person unable to squeeze in is “It." THIS WEEK’S MENU Graduation Party All-American Appetizer* •Americana Salad Clover Leaf Rolls •Veal on Skev ers •Good Fortune Cake Ice Cream •Spiced Coffee •Recipes given. •Spiced Coffee. 6 cups decaffeinated coffee % cup whipping cream, whipped % teaspoon cinnamon % teaspoon nutmeg Top each cup of coffee with a spoonful of whipped cream into which the spices have been folded. Sugar may be served with the cof fee, if desired. You can use your favorite method of making the cof fee, with regular grind for percolat ed or boiled coffee and drip grind for drip or glass maker. Allow a heap ing tablespoon for each cup. And if you “perk" it, give it a few min utes extra brewing to bring out it* full flavor. • • • Now that I’ve made suggestions for dessert, I’ll go back to the real beginning of your party. While placing the supper foods on the table, Susie can pass a tray of appetizers, which are, after all, just a reminder of the good things yet to come. A tiny American flag placed in the center of the tray will add to the party theme. Potato Chips au Gratin. Spread crisp potato chips with pimiento cheese. Serve plain or with a thick slice of pickle in the center of each. Chips may also be sprinkled with grated American or Parmesan cheese. Before serving, put under broiler to melt cheese and heat chips. Stuffed Celery. Scrape deep stalks of celery. Cut into 3-inch lengths. Place in ice wa ter to which lemon juice has been added. The celery may be placed in a covered jar in a refrigerator until crisp. Several types of filling may be used to add variety. Bacon Snacks. Wrap % slice bacon around a sweet pickle or stuffed olive and fasten with a toothpick. Broil un til bacon is crisp and serve immedi ately. One first glance at the salad will bring an enthusiastic response from the crowd. Illustrated in the picture at the top of the column, it is called •Americana Salad. 1 envelope unflavored gelatin % cup cold water 2 cups tomatoes 3 whole cloves 1 small bay leaf 1 small onion, chopped % teaspoon thyme 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon sugar % teaspoon pepper or paprika 3 tablespoons vinegar Stir gelatin and cold water togeth er. Let stand at least 3 to 5 min utes. Meanwhile simmer tomatoes with seasonings in a covered con tainer for 10 to 15 minutes. Strain and add vinegar. Dissolve the soft ened gelatin in this mixture, and pour into one large mold, and chill until firm. When it has set and is ready to serve, it is divided into two squares with layers which are joined togeth er with a filling of cream cheese. A cream cheese star decorates tha top. This recipe makes 6 portions. Now for something truly different in the way of a hot dish— •Veal on Skewers. Cut boneless veal in pieces 1% inches square by about % inch thick. Stick on 8-inch metal skew ers, alternating meat with slightlj smaller peeled potato halves oi cubes, chunks of carrot, and wholi small white onions.

NEW IDEAS rc > r >< ^ By RUTH WYETH SPEARS J— CMALL windows and book ^ shelves at the sides of a fire place often create a monotonous series of rectangles. Watch out for them for they play an impor tant part in decorating plans. You see them here in the small sketch —six of them—window; over mantel space; window; ' book shelves; mantel; book shelves— around and around they go. The only architectural change shown in the large sketch was a mantel facing built of th^ee boards and simple mouldings. This broke up one rectangle. Irregular lines for swag drapes over the windows Little Herbert Was There To Give the Game Away! On arriving home father found a foreign coin resembling a quar ter in his small change, so he went out to do a little shopping, taking Herbert, aged five, along. He went to the grocer’s, and the grocer, looking at the coin, said with an air of surprise, “Why, this is not United States money!" So the man went to the drug gist’s, and there tendered the coin. The druggist informed him that the coin was of foreign extraction. “Good heavens, so it is!" ex claimed the father. “I wonder where I got that?" “Don’t you know, dad?" spoke up Herbert. “That’s the one the grocer wouldn’t take!" WALL SPACI BROKEN UP IN TOO X MANY RECTANGLES—J A SIMPLE MANTEL FACING AND E0ULAR LINES FOR CURTAINS. PICTURES AND SHELF ARRANGEMENT softened the angles of two more. A large picture or mirror over the mantel just added still another rectangle, so small prints were hung with ribbons. The arrange ment of vines, books and bibelots on the shelves took care of the rest. • • * NOTE: Directions for cutting and making the swag draperies shown in today’s sketch may be found on page 17 of Book 1, in the series of service booklets offered with these articles.
