This suspense method is much bet

the question, Did I ever tell you
about grandpa and the save" It's
hard for another person to say yes

Zest Is Added to Mild
Flavor of FavOrite by
Domestic Sherry Wine
The Dish Is Also Suited for Informal Buffet
Service, Bulletin Informs Substitute

After this, one will doubtless jot
down this recipe:
Macaroni With Cheese Wine Sauce.
4 cups cooked macaroni.
! medium onion, minced.
2 medium tomatoes, or u cup to-
mato juice.
2 tablespoons minced green pepper.
2 tablespoons butter.
2 hard cooked eggs.
u pound creamy mild packaged
yellow cheese.
"a cup domestic sherry wine.
Cook until tender, but not Drowned,
the onion. green pepper, sliced toma-
toes or tomato juice with the butter.
Combine with the cooked macaroni
and sliced hard-cooked eggs and place
in baking dish. Melt in the top of
a double boiler the cheese; when soft
add the sherry wine and mix well.
Pour the cheese wine sauce over the
macaroni mixture. Bake one-half
hour in moderate oven-350 degrees.
This serves eight.
If you care for more pronounced
cheese flavor prepare additional
cheese wine sauce and serve as an
accompaniment to the macaroni.
''Macaroni can hardly be discussed
without mention of the other men,
bers of this famous family; namely.
egg noodles and spaghetti. This trio
of energy foods is high in its pro-
portion TO carbohydrates, and when
combined with fruits, vegetables and
high protein foods, such as cheese
and eggs, they offer a well balanced
meal base" states the bulletin.
A warning about the thickness of
all macaronis. noodles and spaghettis
concludes the directions-the part
that made us select macaroni as a
subject in the first place. 1t recalls
a time when We boiled some lengths
Of spaghetti on an infrequent visit
to the kitchen, only to find it con-
gealed into a solid mass under the
meat sauce when served and the
guests laughing off the whole mat
ter.
Directions on this occasion had
been misunderstood. The recipe said
to "blanch" the spaghetti. Having
no idea what act would make spa
ghetti blanch, and regarding it as
of pristine whiteness already, that por-
ton of the recipe was ignored
AS a consequence. We are at one
with the bulletin. Either hot or cold

~ ENG dropped into the pro-
- tein-spattered columns of
~ woman's page after lifetime
H. spent disposing of the nour-
ishment problem by ordering steak
and French fried potatoes at regular
intervals in restaurants presents
challenge to a person substituting for
a woman's page editor at home with
the influenza, neither writing about
nor eating food.
Perversely, the only topic that
comes to mind is lack of food-plan-
ming balanced meals, for example, in
food areas, with chain stores ana
butcher shops under so feet of river.
Many a woman who scans menu
hints daily must have long since been
forced to resort to a diet of potted
meat sandwiches. 1t is even con-
ceivable that memakers-veteranS
of the three-a-day in the dining
room-might find a bright spot in
disaster when saying to husband and
little ones of an evening: We'll have
sandwiches from the Red Cross to-
night for dinner
Did they continue publishing
woman's pages in the food, one
wonders? That would be an editorial
problem. Pictures of crown roastS
would be sadistic, it seems, when sub
scribers are likely to be perusing the
journals after nights of dining on
canned beans. (The baked bean, it
Is well known, plays a major role on
the stage of the dining room table, and
no offenSe is intended)
Then there's the matter of eating
on South Pacific islands after ship
wrecks. In the midst of romantic
novels and movies, with triangles and
pearls dominating the conversations,
this writer always wonders if real folk
under similar circumstances might not
be sitting on the beach, chins in hands,
thinking, What wouldn't give for a
good Steak!"
AT THIS point tip arrives in the
form of heaps of food bulletins
that timely subject is meatless main
courses for Lent. At the Nations
Capital, it seems, far from flood and
badly navigated ships. markets and
kitchenette closets are bulging with
food and lenten dishes are news.
Thumbing through the bulletins We
hit upon macaroni as a food with
which we have had kitchen expert
ence.
with a new twist to its prepara-
ton, or new accompaniment with
it. this old favorite will gain new
friends" the expert declares.
The new twist" turns out to be
wine sauce, a phrase with which the
imagination may toy endlessly 1t is
used with cheese. admittedly time
honored twist with macaroni
THE mild flavor of macaroni takes
on tingling good taste" we are as
sured, when accompanied by this
cheese wine sauce. Wine cookery has
long been latent, but this simple,
easily prepared sauce made with do
mestic sherry wine will do wonders
in stimulating your appetite for more.
Wine served with the delicious maca-
roni dish offers atmosphere as well as
appropriateness. 1t is especially well
suited for informal buffet service"

ried against our parents wishes and
brought his wife home for us to sup

will not even help my mother with
the housework. I have a good job
and had looked forward to marriage,
but this is now impossible with this
added burden on my shoulders. What
is the correct solution of the problem?
JOHN.
Answer: The correct solution OF the
problem is to throw your brother and
his wife out of the house and make
them support themselves. That is the
best thing for them, as well as for you.
because it's the only way to turn them
into decent, self-respecting human
beings. Otherwise they will develop
into parasites, than which there is no
more contemplate thing.
In tens of thousands Of households
there are able-bodied men and women
who are leeches who suck the life
blood of the other members of the
family They will not work. They
let old mothers and fathers and frail
young sisters toll to support them. The
hard-earned money of other brothers
goes to feed and clothe them, and this
condition is brought about by the
weakness and cowardice Of those who
have not the grit to turn the lazy
loafer out on the street and say: Work

Why should you deny yourself the
happiness of marriage in order to
support your brothers wife because he
is too good for nothing to work for
