would hardly ever find except at home; and
even at that, many households have not dis
covered how delicious the result is if you boil
ham and string beans and potatoes together"
Like many artists, Fred Waring eats very
lightly on the day of a broadcast. Perhaps he
is too much engrossed in final rehearsals to
be interested in food = for it takes many
hours of hard work to get ready for half
hour radio performance. Perhaps too, he does
not want his mental processes slowed down
by the pleasure of heavy meal. So he eats
lightly and looks forward to pile of interest
ing sandwiches and pot of hot chocolate
after the midnight show.
At the Waring dinner table on other days
you would find not only old-time dishes but
old-time service. Il like to carve at the table
and fill the plates myself" Fred says. 1T
seems tedious and boring to wait while maid
takes the plates away one by one and brings
the Others one at time, too. The food gets
cold and it is an uninteresting process. To my
mind everything tastes better and everybody
has better time when the food is served
right from the table.
Another thing like" he says, lis bread
on the dinner table. A meal doesn't seem
finished to me unless I can have bread or
rolls" In other words, Fred does like bread.

And men like bread. too. They have real
weakness for hot breads, which always con-
slider one of the best parts of the meal.
Hot rolls taste as good to me as the tender
individual steaks or juicy roast beef or stuffed
turkey we serve at our parties. Cheese-puff
potatoes are also worth talking about and are
a great favorite on our party menus"
Fruit salads, particularly of the frozen
type, and mixed green salads are included
among the Waring favorites and Fred also
likes thick soups. Potato Soup comes first"
he says, "and after that you may write me
down for Cream-of- Corn Soup.

RED WARING band leader of radio fame
who discovered while he was at Penn
sylvania State College that he preferred
t0major for life in jazz rather than to
spend four years on course in engineering
can cook to beat his own band. He is proud OF
his skill as a cook which he acquired at home
and as a member of Boy Scout troop. And
he mentions fried peaches as an unusual
speciality of his.
II never heard of any one who knew the
recipe except my mother - and of course
myself" he says you use lot of butter and
cover the peaches with brown sugar. Just
before they are finished add little cream and
YOU will have one of the best dishes you ever
tasted"
All Freds preferences are for the good old
time dishes he used to have at home in the
small PENNSYLVANIA town where he lived as
bow. He remembers affectionately also the
dishes that Mother Dee used to cook for the
boys in college.
'.She was our housemother," he explains,
''but she was famous all over the State for her
Chocolate Pie and she used to make it as
special treat for US. We often have it IN our
own house now.
"As matter of fact, though" he adds, i
like all kinds of pie. with perhaps a prefer
~ence for the sour cherry variety, and for
Banana Cream Pie. And then there are the
cakes my mother still makes for me. She can
make an Angel Cake that Lucifer might envy,
but am particularly fond of her Coconut
c,ke made with fresh cOCOnut. Her Pound
Cake is delicious, too. and so is her Sponge
Cake
As for other desserts, Fred has soft spot
again for the simple puddngs he used to have
as boy. He likes plain vanilla oornstarch
pudding, served warm, and rice pudding OF
the custard type. -,

teen, supper is served at the table. But often
there is large crowd and then the meal must
be in buffet style.
I'VE have the whole organization some
times" Fred explains, and with few extra
guests on such an occasion we have enter
tanned as many as eighty-six people"
1t is big organization that has been built
up by this man who stumbled by accident
on his career. The famous Pennsylvanians
need whole floor of an office building for
their activities. There are Offices, private
studios each with piano, wardrobe rooms
for the bands uniforms, a rehearsal hall, a
library of music manuscripts, Photographic
studio and club-room for relaxation between
long -drawn-out rehearsals. Fred Waring, of
the old-fashioned food preferences, runs the
most modern of organizations to keep pace
ahead of tomorrow's modern jazz
