CRISFLY COOL ON A SUMMER DAY!
(See Recipes Below)
THIRST QUENCHER IDEAS
' The thermometer’s soaring and
the sumnier sun’s too hot, you say?
■Then you’ll want a cool, gracious
drink with tinkling ice to lift your
wilted spirits.
Indeed the favorite pickup for a
sultry day is nothing more than a
simple drink of fruit juices, tea, or
frosty milk with shimmering ice.
The tartness of the fruit juices in
these drinks will refresh and cool
you, soothe your disposition long
after you’ve sipped them. Besides
they’ll give vitamins and minerals
to pep you up even more.

For a really quick cooling drink
you might try some of the prepared
fruit juice powders on the market.
They can be mixed in a flash and
give a very satisfying beverage. The
•children will like working with
them, too, and won’t muss the kitch
en if they have this type of easy
'preparation to use.
Summer drinks can be especially
attractive when served with those
fragrant sprigs of
mint you have
growing on the
side of the house,
strawberries
from the patch,
or long, length
wise slices of
leinon to bring
out the delicate flavor of tea. Ice
cubes with cherries, red berries,
mint leaves, orange or lemon slices,
or fruit juices all frozen in the cubes
will make your thirst quenchers a
joy to look at.
•Iced Tea.
Tea must be made double strength
when used with ice, so use 2 tea
spoons for each cup of water. Meas
ure 1 cup of freshly drawn water,
bring to a boil. Pour over leaves,
let steep 5 minutes, then strain into
a pitcher. Cool, pour into glasses
filled with ice, two-thirds full. Serve
with slices of lemon.
You can do such delightful things
with this combination of tea, or
anges and mint, so here’s a recipe
which you might like to try. It’s a
company favorite!
Orange Mint Julep.
(Serves 10)
6 glasses of strong tea
2 cups sugar
v % cup water
1 orange rind grated
Juice of six oranges.
Sprays of mint
Boil the sugar and water and grat
ed orange rind for 5 minutes. Re
move from fire, add crushed mint
leaves and let cool. To the strained
tea add orange juice, and pour into
glasses which are half-filled with
crushed ice, and sweeten to taste
with the strained mint syrup. You’ll
like this garnished with mint sprays
and floating orange slices.
For a really exhilarating drink
that has nutritive value so vital to
lift lagging spirits, here’s eggs and
milk combined with fruit and juices.
It’s so-oK) good and looks like a
charm.
LYNN SAYS:
A snowy frost on the glass in
which you serve your cooling
summer drinks is very attrac
tive and simple to make. All
you do is dip the top of the glass
before it is filled into slightly
beaten egg white and then into
granulated sugar. Allow to dry
thoroughly before using.
If you’d like a true frost for
the glass try a drink which is
guaranteed to have one. Such
are the old-fashioned “granits”
which may be of any flavor you
desire. The granit is a half-
frofcen drink which is put in the
refrigerator or freezer until a
light snow-frost appears, but
leaves the drink still liquid
enough to pour.
For a strawberry granit, mash
a quart of berries and cover with
IVfe pounds of sugar, then set ,
aside for several hours to let a
syrup form. Drain and press
through a sieve. Add 1 table
spoon of strawberry extract, then
mix with 1 pint of water. Freeze
until the top is snow-frosted and
serve in long, thin glasses.

O NE of the most interest
ing pieces of casting
that’s taken place in Holly
wood is the selection of Joan
Crawford and Greer Garson
to combine their talents for
the first time in “When Ladies
Meet,” a screen version of
the stage hit of some years
ago.
It’s the story of a wife and the
“other woman”; they meet without
knowing that they’re rivals. They
become warm friends—and the fun
begins when their identities are re-
GREER GARSON
vealed. The stars are fresh from
hits—Miss Crawford from “A Wom
an’s Face,” and Miss Garson from
‘‘Blossoms in the Dust.” Robert Tay
lor will be the foughtover male.

Edgar Kennedy, the “slow-bum”
star' of RKO Radio’s shorts, is pre
paring to leave on his annual per
sonal appearance tour. He will be
accompanied by his wife, his son
and Chester Conklin, and he will
play Midwest theaters and fairs.
*
Katharine Hepburn, whose per
formance in “Philadelphia Story”
put her back where she wanted to
be $t the box office, will start work
soon on another picture. At present
it’s called “The Woman of the
Year”; she’ll play a newspaper col
umnist who’s married to a sports
writer. Metro feels that it’s a good
title for a Hepburn picture because
of the comeback which she staged in
“Philadelphia Story.”
—*—
Miriam Hopkins withdrew from
“Bad Lands” recently, giving two
reasons, one ordinary, one unusual.
The ordinary one—she felt that the
part did not suit her; probably it
didn’t. The title doesn’t sound like
a Miriam Hopkins vehicle. The un
usual one—she felt that Robert
Stack, the leading man, was too
young to play opposite her. Few
feminine stars would admit that!
*—
Jack Holt’s offspring are doing all
right for themselves in films — as is
Papa. Tim is scheduled for six
“outdoor dramas”—(just Westerns
to us,) for RKO for 1941-42, and his
sister Jenny, who’s 20, has been en
gaged to play the feminine lead in
“Stick to Your Guns,” a Hopalong
Cassidy picture in which that vet
eran of Westerns, William Boyd,
plays the lead.
*
Every so often somebody has the
bright idea of trying to persuade
Maude Adams to come out of retire
ment and make a picture. Noth
ing ever comes of it. The latest to
try it is Frank Capra, who wants
her to star in a film called “Meet
Jane Doe, Mother of John Doe.”
If she could be tempted to make a
picture the opportunity of working
with Capra should do it.
—*
Edmund Lowe and Victor McLag-
len, who impersonated marines in
the movie version of “What Price
Glory” years ago, have become
“Sergeant Quirt” and “Captain
Flagg” again; this time on the
air. They’reipioing a radio program
designed to promote recruiting by
showing modern life in the corps;
it’s a weekly feature, and should be
welcomed by those who remember
“What Price Glory.”

Jack Smart, of CBS’s “Meet Mr.
Meek,” met a judge last week, not
once but twice. Picked up for
speeding, he didn’t have the money
for the fine, so the judge let him go
home for it. He hurried so fast,
wanting to pay the first fine and
get to his radio rehearsal on time,
that he got another ticket for speed
ing. But the judge let him out of
the second one.

Brown Was Starting Early
To Get Along With the Cook
The bus was starting in the
midst of a torrent of rain, when
the conductor put his head inside
and inquired: “Will any gentle
man get out and oblige a lady?”
“She can come inside and sit
on my knee, if she likes,” said a
passenger, jocularly, and, to his
great surprise, in bounced a
buxom woman, who forthwith ap
propriated the offered knee.
After a time the man. Brown,
by name, got into conversation
with his burden, and asked her
where she was going. On hearing
her destination, he exclaimed,
“Why, that’s my house!”
“Well, then,” replied the woman,
blushing, “I’m your new cook.”

Noble Issues
Above all, in our dealings with
the souls of men we are to take
care how we check, by severe re
quirement or narrow caution, ef
forts which might otherwise lead
to a noble issue, and, still more,
how we withhold our admiration
from great excellencies, because
they are mingled with rough
faults.—John Ruskin.
