NE Of the great mistakes that
women make is in looking
upon marriage solely from
the sentimental angle. instead

~ the sentimental angle, instead
Of regarding it also as business
proposition Viewed as pure romance,
every marriage is bound to be flop,
because We cannot always be young
and beautiful and starry-eyed and
run a temperature. In time we are
bound to cool off and come down to
earth, grapple with bills, babies, tenn
pers and nerves and see our husbands
and wives as mere ordinary human
beings instead Of godlings. Nobody
can make a dream come true, but
virtually any woman can make a busi-
ness partnership success if she is
willing to put her heart and her back
into 1t.
One would not, of course, obliterate
the love motive In marriage. That
is the sugar that sweetens domestic
life, that is the meringue on the lemon
pie of domesticity, but just love isn't
enough to run marriage on. 1t takes
work and intelligence and planning
as well as billing and cooling, and if
women could be brought to see that
1t takes the same qualities and the
same tactics to hold down job as
q wife as it does to hold down a job
as a stenographer or salesWoman
we should have more happy wives and
fewer divorces.
X X
IF girl, for instance, looked upon
L marriage as a partnership as well
as a love idyl, she would be lot more
particular about picking out a hus-
band than she is now. She would
use her brains more and her emotions
less in selecting him. She wouldn't
tie herself up in life contract with
drunkard or q ne'er-do-well on the
of chance that he would be sober
go-getter after the preacher had
mumbled a few words over his head.
It is an inexplainable fact, but it Is
q fact, that woman will marry
man she wouldn't think of going into
business with.
If women thought of marriage In
terms of business, they wouldn't trust
the outcome Of their venture to luck.
They would know that whether they
failed or succeeded would depend upon
how much intelligence and thought
and energy and determination to
make a go Of it that they put into
their marriages. They would know
that any marriage as well as any
business will 60 into bankruptcy II
the partners are always quarrel1ng
and fighting and fail to do teamwork,
or II one Of the partners Is idle and
extravagant and plays around while
the other works.
If girls thought Of getting married
as going into business, they would
prepare themselves for It instead Of
regarding 1t as tackleg trade that
any moron could follow without any
previous knowledge or experience. No
girl would expect to be doctor with
out having studied medicine, or to be
q private secretary without being IA
miliar with stenography and typing,
but she will blithely undertake mat
rimony, which Is the most compli-
Gated career ON earth, without the
slightest idea of how to get along with
q husband, or cook q meal, or man
age budget.
IF WOMEN thought Of marriage a. .
business proposition, taey wouldn't

taste. Dumplings could be put on
top Of the dish. Or the stew COM
bination might be used for meat
pie, with sheet or individual rounds
of biscuit dough, or instead with
lcyer of mashed potato. In all these,
after the meat is added, the cooking
takes only about 10 or Is minutes, so
that the mi imum-of-cooking rule
for leftover meats is adhered to.
A turnover would be good pie
variation. The chopped meat for it
could be seasoned with onion and
celery or parsley and moistened with
gravy or broth or tomatoes or chilli
sauce.
Baked meat pinwheels make SIM
liar dish. A meat-onion mixture is
spread on fairly thick sheet of biscuit
dough, leaving a margin Of about an
inch uncovered. Then the sheet is
rolled up and cut croSswise in or
10 slices like pinwheel biscuits. The
slices are laid in creased pan and
baked 80 to 40 minutes, then served
with gravy or tomato sauce.
X
OF COURSE, there are always the
spaghetti-meat combinations. In
stead of spaghetti, hominy, hominy
grits, cooked rice or cracked or whole
wheat may be used. A chopped green
pepper with onion, and tomato juice
and some tabasco sauce combined
with the meat, is one of many posi-
bilities
Chopped pork can be mixed with
corn meal mush and seasoned with
such herbs as thyme or a little sage
or celery seed, salt and pepper. The
mixture is chilled, then cut in slices
and fried a golden brown on both
sides. It's our old friend scrapple!
Reminiscent of scrapple is tamale
pie. Top and bottom "crusts" Of the
pie are corn meal mush. The filling
is made of an onion and a pepper
chopped and cooked in fat and added
to pint each of tomatoes and any
chopped meat, seasoned with salt and
chilli powder or cayenne pepper.
A combination less often thought
Of, possibly, is shredded snap beans
or cabbage with canned or leftover
pork.
Cabbage rolls make another less
usual dish. After the cabbage leaves
have been wilted in hot salted water,
so that they can be rolled, each can
be filled with meat mixture, rolled
up and laid in baking dish. The
mixture may be ground meat with
chopped onion, and bread crumbs or
cooked rice, moistened with tomatoes
and seasoned to taste. Over the cab
bage rolls may be poured enough to-
matoes or gravy or hot water to cover
the bottom Of the dish. AS soon as
the cabbage is tender the dish is ready
to be served.
Drowned hash Is a perennial IA
vorite among the ways of preparing
leftover meats. Chopped or mashed
boiled potatoes, chopped meat and
onion, seasoned to taste, mixed thor
oughly and then nodded into cakes
and fried slowly on both sides until
crusty-it's still popular dish. Or,
this good mixture can be made into
meat croquettes, which also have Sc
cure place on family menus.
But, whatever the dish, canned and
leftover meats must be handled &C
cording to that trio of principles:
second cooking reduced to a minimum,
all possible flavor conserved, and in
a combination of seaSonings and vege-
tables which will bring in still other
enriching flavors.
The parting admonition of the home
economists is to keep meat left-overs
in cold place so that they will not
spoil
Evening star., 1937-03-17

always q certain percentage Ol IleE lOOu
stuffs would spoil, due to a faulty cap
or few air bubbles which had escaped
the watchful eye. But not so today,
for canned goods may be purchased
and put in the larder, with perfect
assurance that it will be delicious when
opened.
Recently canned meat played a big
part in the Ohio Valley food district,
where the Federal Surplus Corp. sent
four carloads of beef to help feed the
sufferers. This shipment was part of
the 1884 and 1886 drought programs,
when healthy animals we're bought and
slaughtered, and the meat canned and
stored for relief and emergency dis
tribution.
The Bureau of Home Economics of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture says that the first thing to re-
member in using canned or even left
over meat is to reduce to a minimum
the second cooking. That minimum
Is 10 to Is minutes, as the meat has
already been well cooked. After q
certain point Is reached, the longer
meat Is cooked the less savory and
less tender 1t becomes.
X X X
THE second admonition is to con-
serve all the flavor that the meat
has by keeping every bit of the broth
or drippings and gravy for those
second incarnation dishes. The fat
and liquids can be used as basis for
sauces to pour over the meats. Or
vegetables can be cooked in them. In
whatever role they appeac in this
made-over dish, they are indis-
pensable. No less important are the
seasonings-the right ones-used in
Just the right amount.
The third thing to remember in
utilizing canned or leftover meats
is to bring in accessory and enrich
ing flavors by combining the meat
with various vegetables.
A sturdy standby is the meat-and-
vegetable stew. One good trio of
vegetables for it would be turnips,
carrots and onions-all boiled to-
gether in the meat broth until nearly
tender and then combined with the
meat and the mixture seasoned to

and quit the first time anything went

invested their all in it and that they
were ruined If it failed; so they would

and the mistakes and turn what looked
like defeat into victory.
II women thought Of marriage as q
business proposition, they would try as
hard to hold their positions as wives
as they would good job in an office

technique. They would keep them.
selves neat and tidy and not go around
the house any old way. They would
be efficient and keep a clean hearth
apd have good dinner for tired and
hungry man to come home to.
They wouldn't always be complain
ing about how they were oyerworked
and how they loathed cooking and
taking care of babies. They wouldn't
fly into a tantrum every time their
husbands criticized them. They
wouldn't take advantage of the fact
that the wife job is one from which
it is hard to fire woman, to be
slovenly and lazy and eantankerous
and about as pleasant to get along
with as fretful porcupine.
II women thought Of marriage as a
business proposition, they would treat
their husbands as they would treat
their bosses. They would yes-yes 'em
and tell them how wise and wonderful
they were, and listen with bated breath
while they boasted Of the big deals
they had pulled of, and they would be
so pleasant and agreeable that their
husbands would never have to tell their
Miss Smiths how misunderstood they
were at home.

sition angle Of matrimony doesn't ap-
peal to women. There Is . lot more

-Oricchio photo.

Rev. Dr. John N. Lewis officiated at the wedding of Miss Mildred Carle Stepney, daughter of William Henry Stepney of State street, to Harold Walter Minion, of Newark, N. J., son of Mrs. Edward Buckley, Saturday morning at Il o'clock at St. Johns Episcopal church. The bride was attended by Mrs. Edward Keena and the best man was Wood ron w. Minion, of Newark, brother of the bridegroom. Ushers were Harry s. Minion, brother of the bridegroom, and Harold Lister.
 The bride, who was given in mar riage by her father, wore an Empire model of ivory transparent velvet with the neckline trimmed with ivory lace. The sleeves were long ending in points over the wrists. The gown terminated in a long train. Her veil was of ivory tulle fashioned from Dutch bonnet of velvet caught with orange blossoms. She carried a bridal bouquet of white chrysanthemums. The ma. tron of honor wore Juliette gown of dubonnet transparent velvet with cap and accessories to match. She carried a bouquet of old fashioned flowers. The brides grandmother wore gown of blue figured print, black hat and accessories and a cor sage of gardenias. The bridegroom's mother wore a black lace gown and black velvet hat. Her corsage was of red roses.
 A reception was held at 61 Church street following the ceremony for about 50 guests. Out of town guests attending included those from New ark and Bloomfield, N. J., Ansonia, New Haven and New York. The couple left later in the day for an unannounced wedding trip and upon their return will reside at 4l9 First street, Carlstadt, N. J. The brides travelling costume was an Oxford gray dress and cape with Kelly green accessories.

bid of four diamonds was to leave East untrammeled in his choice of the final game contract, which he seemed so anxious to reach.
 However, ambitious as the con- tract was, 1t was made against any but the most ironclad defense. Where the heart king was opened and followed with the heart queen, a squeeze was developed. East ruffed, led a small diamond to the jack, ruffed the third round of hearts, and then led four more rounds of trumps. South discarded one heart, but had to find five more discards. A study of the cards shows that this made further de- fense impossible.
 The correct play was to aban- don hearts after winning the first trick, and lead the spade king The squeeze no longer exists, because the essential entry, the spade ace. to make the heart in dummy Q threat against South has been re- moved from dummy.

CONTRACT BRIDGE
Squeeze Block Hats Slam Opponent Removes Second Entry from Dummy and Voids Declarer's
 Chance to Make Contract
By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary of the American Bridge League

Bridge players who have mas tered the art of squeezing an op- ponent out of high cards should be equally alert, when defending, in seeing the squeeze coming and in taking protective steps if they are available.
 In one of the hands played in a recent national championship, two of the players made a contract at six diamonds, by means of nicely executed squeeze. One or two failed to make five diamonds The two declarers were able to make the ambitious contracts of six. because the defending player who had all the decisions to make, failed to see in time that he had to take early measures to guard against being squeezed in three suits.
