Appetizers Add Enjoy
ment To Evening Meal

One of the incest customs mag
Unable is the evening appetizer.
Whether served with or without a
cocktail it tends to bring the fam
lily and guests together a few min
nutes before dinner is served, thus
doing away With TIE last minute
rush to the table and arriving
there out of breath and excited.
Something very attractive and
tasty at this time will stimulate
the appetites of those about to par
take of the evening meal and those
few minutes of quiet will do much
toward making the dinner a sue
cess.

Cleveland club to retain Bob Feller rather
than cut him loose as free agent to join

could raise the money had waited. pen and

that the young pitcher might be free and
