Young Cook
Tells a
Secret
By JEAN GREEN

This summer vacation is q
good time to let daughter de-
velop a lively interest in things
culinary. Perhaps letting her
share in the preparation Of
such delicacies as Sherbets,
cookies will be the surest way
to gain her interest.
Once this interest is developed
there is no knowing as to where
it will lead. Cooking from the
healthy scientific viewpoint of q
Junior High School student is q
fascinating game.
Why does the salad jell? And
what causes the cake to fall?
And why can't you beat eggs fluffy
and stiff with whipped cream?
There will be lots of questions! /!
Arm yourself with a good cook
book with lots of enlightening side
lights or call ye cooking editor.
Here is what one young Wash
ingtonian has done. She always
concentrates on one thing on the
menue. Steak one night, salad
the next. BY this means, she gets
all praise in case it is a dazzling
success, by the way. She has de-
veloped a system to side step the
"flopS." The campaign begins by
first reading the recipe through
twice. She then writes out all
the different ingredients she will
need and the equipment necessary
in order to prepare it. Bowls. pans,
measuring cups, spoons with in
gradients are all lined up on the
table.
Then with the serious air of a
field marshal, she starts manipula-
tions to get ingredients leveled off,
measured and whipped together
just right. Her mother says she
is very lucky with her cooking.
We have another name for it.

jeanette was born the youngest
of three daughters Of David and
Anna Macdonald, who lived in a
red brick house on Arch Street
in the dne old town of Philadel-
phia not so long ago.
Talented Family
Elsie, Blossom and jeanette
were all talented. and the family
was often called the Lucky Mac
Donalds," for each seemed des-
tined for success. Elsie and Bios
som were studying to be dancers
when Jeanette, at S, sang at a
recital of her older sisters dane
ing school, and was caSS for the
prima donna role Of the family
by that performance, in her own
mind at least.
When jeanette was about 10
years old the family circle was
suddenly broken up. Elsie ran
away from boarding school to be
married, giving up by this the
musical career they had all
planned for her. And Blossom,
receiving an offer to dance in a
New York revue, left home to
make her professional debut as
a dancer.
This left Jeanette studying
music and dancing in Philadel-
phia for four more years, and
then her father took her to New
York on a business trip with him
and they went to see Blossom,
who was dancing in Ned Way
burns Demi-Tasse Revue at the
Capital.
The slim, graceful, red-haired
little girl made an immediate i'm

her to stay with his revue, when
he learned that her dancing tech

There are two kinds: The brown
roux and the white; the former
must be watched carefully. for the
butter must not be overbrowned
or burned.
Butter makes richer roux than
lard, but many Creole cooks be-
lieve that in most cases lard is to
be used rather than butter.
A brown roux is made by melting
a tablespoon of butter or lard
slowly, then adding the same guam
tity of flour, stirring constantly
until it turns a delicate brown. It
is seasoned with salt, pepper and
cayenne. This is the base of
gumbo, veal grillades, etc. Often
times the flour is Drowned before
it is added to the fat.

our neighbor countries-Mex-

not the usual tamale but is a
delicaGy that originated in
France.
You will find it different with
a more subtle flavor. Perhaps the
continental cuisines of France and
Spain needed only the flavor of
the Mexican to produce such a
masterpiece. At any rate you may
wish to try this dessert for your
next guest night.
The recipe is given here for the

to use it instead. The sauce is the
