*‘^T'HE world will little note, nor

“That government of the people,
by the people, for the people shall
not perish from the earth."

TO THE CLASS OF ’41!
(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."

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. Lay skewers ii

and salt. Cover and bake in ho f
oven (450 degrees F.) for 1 hour,

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!"

softened the angles of two more.
A large picture or mirror over the

hung with ribbons. The arrange
