Tn the rush and hurry of pres- ent day activity, Inealtime seems to be the only regular period when the family is gathered together as 8 group. It should be Q particular ly pleasant interlude where Jack can tell of the funny experience in chemistry class and Marjorie can explain about her new club.
 Simple dinners are usually found to be superior for the family. Birth- days and special holidays are of course exceptions but for general use, wholesome, easily made food is most satisfactory. When there are small children very often food must be prepared differently for them. If dinner is served at night the main dish may be too heavy for the todd- Ter. Without special fuss, though, he may have the baked or boiled potato with a little milk poured over 1t, supplemented with some of the green vegetable, milk and bread and butter. Usually any dessert pre- pared for school children, such as baked custard, can be eaten and enjoyed by the younger children too. Thus, @ simple meal is given to the toddler with no extra trouble for mother or confusion at the ta- ble.
 Naturally mother wants to hear all about the days experiences without the continual Interruption of trips to the kitchen and requests for food other than that served for the dinner. If the food is whole come and well-prepared children should be expected to eat 1t and not be allowed to demand other things. The demanding habit is @ matter of training by the parents which one may help to control by not catering more than necessary to idiosyncrasies and by being sure the food iS well-prepared 50 that there will be no chance for com- plaints. It is wise not to have food the subject of conversation. If something pleasant about 1t can be sal dthat is enough. Discussions and arguments are all upsetting and not conclusive to good digestion. If Q well-planned, nourishing and ape petizing meal is served with the few adaptations necessary made for the youngsters, and Q pleasant at- titude expected, there Is no reason why riiealtilne cannot be one of the most enoyable experiences of the day.
 A few recipes satisfactory for the family meal are suggested below.

Kitchen Comments
By WILDA HOYT

By WILDA H0YT
 You may not care particularly for bouillon made from cubes alone but you will find that @ cup of c0nsornfne made from the cubes and used as stock to finish @ sauce or gravy adds greatly to the flavor of the sauce.
 Ever consider flavoring the ice cubes that you intend using in cold beverages? Thus lemon, orange or pineapple-flavored cubes for the cocktail combinations; tea or coffee- fiaovred cubes for those beveragesP Might not be Q bad idea to kepe on hand . few strongly favored coffee cubes to cool Dads coffee when he is in 6 hurry to be off in the Y1orn- ing, but dislikes to dilute his hot drink with an overdose of cream or plain water.
 Ever serve stuffed candied or aYges sliced, as a garnish for ice. cream, or use them as garnish for the meat. course? They impart a delicious tang. You will find them among the canned fruit deli- cacies in most fancy grocery stores.
 
 DO not count your kitchen equip- ,ment complete until you have on the shelf beside the pepper and salt shaker Q larger shaker for sugar. This for the French pam cakes which you butter as you bake them, for the cinnamon toast, sea- soning of vegetables and such.
 
 Make tea or coffee last of all things on the menu. It takes only few minutes to bring the water for either to the point of boiling and the beverage is best when taken right from the stove to the table. This is true even of drip coffee.
 The small fish, such as snelts, trout, baby cat fish and others, are excellent when fried in deep fat. Remove fine and tails; the heads may be left on, for the sake of ap- pearance. Dust with salt and pep- per, roll in crumbs and fry in the hot oil or fat.

Replenish The Pantry Shelf

Picnics and summer parties have @ way of depleting-without ones notice-the supplies on the pantry shelf. Then comes autumn, with its more exacting social require- fnents Teas. dinners, luncheons are fairly formal again.
 Scouting about in the shops for new and tempting things to replen- ish the pantry shelf, you may find the following items in addition to the regulation things you will want to have at hand, ready for service, whenever you need to call upon them:
 For hors d'ouevres or tea sand- wiches a quick filling can be pro- duced by using one of the several pa1tes which come in glass bottles. Among them are lobster paste, an- chSvy or sardine and tomato paste.
 Ever try soup trolls" for the emergency soup course7 They are imported produced in condensed powder form to give you the stock for mushroom, pea, lentil or OK tail soup; or you may have peas with carrots, or peas with bacon.
 And you will be glad to know that 1t is possible to find Q good brand of Italian Minestrone soup in cans. (iow many of us 90 free qiently to the Italian restaurants just to indulge in this delicious, wholesome soup.)
 You may not like to cook the cabbage and corned beef, the tur- nips and onions necessary to pre- pare an original New England Boil- cd Dinner. It does scent the house, you know and is lots of bother. Then, when the man of the house asks for this pet dish, just remem- ber you can buy 1t in glass, ready to heat and carry to the table in less than five minutes after you open the jar.
 Most beautiful mackerel--plump, tender, juicy, pleasantly salt in. stead of bitterly briny, come packed in tall jars that sell at 46 to 50 cents. The quantity is ample-and the quality par excellence.

Foods
 Favorable To Beauty

Watching @ lovely actress or Q talented dancer across the foot- lights which divide the world of fantasy from retality, 1t is hard to realize that genius and beauty heaven though they may be- depend upon such prosaic elements as hard work and proper food. The truth is that, far from subsisting on peacocks' tongues and nectar, the artists fare is @ simple and scien- tifcally regulated diet subjected to such ironbound restrictions that few of us would be willing to live up to 1t for long.
 Many professional women have asked me for advice on matters of diet. But I feel that so far as pos- sible the outlining of 1t should be left to the family doctor, since the diet must take into account the personal tendencies, the hours of work and exercise of the tndiYid- ual artist. It is therefore impos- sible to give anything more than general sugS 2stions.
 To be fresh for each perform ance-an artist must have regular hours for rest and meals and noth- ing must be permitted to inter- fere with them or to disrupt her routine. A meal hastily swallowed at the last minute may affect both her health and her performance. To go on the stage after hours of exhausting practice or study with out having taken some sustaining food is just as bad.
 . It is very likely that there has been a "bit of supper" before going to bed; so breakfast should be light. Orange juice on arising perhaps; a. thin slice of toast, stewed fruit I recommend espe- cially the laxative varieties such as prunes, rhubarb, figs, for the artist is generally highly keyed and this has, the effect of deranging the process of digestion. Then would come coffee, tea or cocoa, as pre- tered.
 When she has matinee, the act. ress should have lunch served early
 between 11:30 and 12, let us say. It should be a light lunch consist ing of a tomato juice cocktail or fruit cup or slice of melon; salad of mixed vegetables in summer and Q vegetable plate or scrambled eggs and bacon in winter; then . light dessert, fruit, gelatine or custard. If she is a late riser, the actress can with profit combine her break fast and luncheons making 1t Q somewhat substantial meal.

prefer to lead an active life. She is interested in club life and was first vice-president of the Illinois Break fast Club, Women's International Club and also held office in the Los Angeles branch of the National League of American Pen Women. Her many years of close contact with the Hollywood celebrities places her in a positioon to know them as few do. She has written several series of articles for news- papers and magazines and has spoken over the radio many times on the habits and customs of Hol- lywood personalities.
 When we asked Mrs. Lyon for her favorite recipe she told us that she would rather give us her favoritO dinner menu. It is a simple meal that is typically Southern in style. (Mrs. Lyon is Southerner, having been born and raised in Atlanta, Ga.) This menu, according to Mrs. Lyon, is her favorite and is typical of the simple, wholesome eating habits of Hollywood's famous per- sonalities.
 The menu is as follows:
 Fruit Cup
 Olives Celery
 Okra and Tomato Soup
 Southern Fried Chicken Summre Squash Candied Yams
 Corn on the Cob
 AvacadO Salad-French Dressing
 Orange Ambrosia
 Coffee

An entree of fricasseed chicken with cooked egg noodles also comes in glass. Mighty good looking, too, those fine big slices of chicken meat and the flaky noodles distributed throughout the gravy.
 You will want to restock all the fine canned vegetables, including a jar or so of artichoke hearts or bottoms, for these are good con- pany vegetables; also assorted veg etables for use in quickly made sal- ads or casserole dishes. Look, also, for candied yarls which you may find in cans but are certain to see beautifully packed in flat glass bowls.
 Potato chips are now put up in air tight cans, and one new form gives us chip cut in squares and corrugated like @ waffle. A little more meaty than the thinly sliced chips.
 You can get powdered vegetables for seasoning, and a delicious, pun gent combination of herbs and veg etables which will give the Creole tang to the food 1t seasons. Nice tc keep on the pantry shelf.
 For quick desserts there should be the good fruit staples without which no cupboard is complete; ale 50 cans of double cream for whip ping; . tin of marshmallows; 8 jar of nut meats, and a good assort- ment of boxed waters.
 It. is possible to buy prepared cake mixtures which need only the addition of liquid to turn them in- to delicious batter, ready to put into the oven. AND there Is also prepared cake icing, smooth as velvet, packed in air-tight glass jars. There are chocolate, vanilla, lemon, orange, strawberry and pis- tachio flavors.
