rs desired, approximately two
dozen "chili-pintineS."
"Chili-pintineS" are small, hot
peppers, native to southwest
Texas" says Mrs. Garner. This
particular stew requires several
hours of slow cooking. She
adds: when it is about ready
for the table, We add butter and,
If necessary, more salt and
pepper"
Another stew of which Mr..
Garner is very fond is cowboy
stew" Though native to south
west Texas, it would probably be
enjoyed here. Mrs. Garner says:
1--WE do not use any particular
recipe for this dish, but simply
get together the ingredients, put
in the Stew-pan and cook several
hours. We use marrow-gut, sweet
breads, brains, one calf kidney
all cut appropriately small

salt, pepper, and the inevitable
chili-pintines. doubt, however,

Alfalfa Club dinner Saturday as

not as the President of the
United States from the White

had a swell time. No speech.
Nothing to do Tut enjoy him

night out" ..
"The amusing thing about
hot oil-you know the NRA and
the Supreme Court are in 4
state of mind about it's that
the oil isn't hot at all. It's just
oil that runs out through the
wrong pipes. Sort Of new kind
Of boOtlegging."
"The Brooke Lees are terribly
happy because young Blair made
the staff of the PrincetOnian."
