For Valentines Day
Hearts and Romance Keynote for Table Decorations
and Various Food Effects

A Valentine party is one Of the
gayeSt and-and easiest-of all par
ties to give. We play up hearts and
romance; and since romance Is ever
in high favor, a party built around
1t begins, continues on and ends
up In happy glow.
The refreshments and table dec
orations feature hearts, too. Fer
instance, in the chicken and mush-
room shortcake suggested below, use
a heart shaped cookie cutter to give
heart shape to the biscuit dough.
And for added emphasis we might
even garnish the shortcake with a
tiny red heart Of pimiento cut out
with a small heart cutter.
Our simple sponge cake dessert
assumes q gay Valentine air with
a decoration Of candy hearts. No
trouble, and a lot of fun!

The cooking process Is as follows:
For poached recipes, break the eggs
in boiling water to which salt and
vinegar to taste have been added.
Cook two and a half minutes and
scoop out. Plunge into cold water to
firm the whites and remore at once.
For nodded eggs, break them into
buttered nnoldS, cook i've and q half
minutes; let stand a while In warm
(not hot) place and unmold.
Then for the different garnishes
and seasonings which so change
character Of the simple poached
egg that Is scarcely recognizable as
such. There is:
Poached Egg Africaine
Cook the egg according to the
method given and dress on round
of toast covered with slice Of hot
grilled ham, rice pilaw and dice
Of fresh tomatoes.
Poached Egg Archiduc
Fit for a king is this dish In
which collops Of chicken liver and
dice Of trouff1es Cor you may use
diced mushrooms) are tossed in
butter and piled into hot tartlet
crusts with the poached egg on top
and coating Of Hongroise sauce
all around. As a substitute for the
sauce you might use rich cream
sauce seasoned with onion finely
minced and softened with butter.
A simpler recipe - but an excel
lent luncheon dish-makes use Of
a freshly baked potato instead Of
toast or tarlet crusts. Scoop out
the potato meat, whip 1t up with
cream and butter, pepper and salt
and refine the shell. Into this drop
the poached egg; coat with a cream
sauce well seasoned with parmesan
cheese and chopped sauted mush-
rooms. Place under the salamander
to glaze quickly.
We sometimes serve poached eggs
upon giant grilled mushrooms and
garnish with pink shrimp sauce.
Or on croutons Of bread coated with
curry sauce and sprinkled heavily
with julienne Of chicken and satlted
mushrooms chat Is to say, finely
shredded chicken and mushrooms).
Agan poached or molder egg
will be served in crustade, the
egg coated one-half with tomato
sauce and half with cream sauce
chopped parsley sprinkled over
the tomato side and chopped sauted
mushrooms (the chef would use
truffles) on the other side. That is
a decorative dish, as you may well
imagine.

SHOWERS AND ST. VALENTINE

SHOWERS AND ST. VALENTINE
What better inspiration can there
be for a party, particularly brides
shower, than st. Valentines Day.,
A carefree, Dan Cupid holiday,
February 18th Is a hand-picked day
for friends of the bride-to-be to give
her q party. And matched food,
decorations, and games (this a test
of the hostess inventiveneSs) tend
to make the day even more glamor-
GUS.
To elicit ofs-and -ahs, the valen-
tine shower should be dainty and
feminine; Of course red and white Is
the color scheme. This party need
not be q brides shower but can cas-
lily be an informal st. Valentines
party.
II cards are played, cover the card
tables at serving time with, white pa
per cloths. To carry out the color
scheme paint the names Of the guests
In red nail polish on place cards
and under each service have a large
red heart cut from red paper.
IF the party is more elabirate, and
food is served at q large table, there
should be lots Of tall, graceful, red
tapers burning over a lacy white
cloth, ana the table bedecked with
the appropriate flowers, favors, and
other fluff that bespeaks Valentine
and Romance.

Loin lamb chops just ego" on
the menu Of the luncheon or din
ner party for st. Valentines Day.
And when they are broiled to q
turn and arranged as shown in
the accompanying photograph,
the guests at your party.
The garnishes suggested here
are simple but effective. Peach
halves are topped with hearts cut
from canned cranberry jelly. The
hot baking powder biscuits are cut
in heart shape to further empha-
size the Valentine motif.
And broiling lamb chops is SIM
pie, too, if you do it the modern
way. Here are the easy steps:
Turn heat high; place chops on
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1940-02-09

broiler rack and slide broiler pan
into position so that there is about
three inches between the top
surface Of the chops and the
heat; when the chops are nicely
pepper and turn; continue broil-
ing until second side browns,
about fifteen minutes in all.
Arrange on platter and serve at
once.
If there is a regular late conner
among your invited guests, wait
until you see her turn the corner
before the chops are put in to
broil. Better to keep your guests
waiting for broiled lamb chops
than to keep the chops waiting
for late guests.

France an Eye Opener.

The harsh treatment of France seems
to have awakened the British. 1t has
made them realize for the first time since
the days of Queen Elizabeth that unless
they buckle down to business and fight
their own battle, the empire cannot sur
vive. And the British are capable Of
heroism when they know there is no
other way out.
They are still hopelessly outnumbered
in the air by the Germans. But the
quality of their planes and aviators COM
pensates, to a certain extent, for the
lack of an adequate number of machines.
The British General Staff is by way
of forgetting the classical expression 'it
isn't cricket" and is prepared to oppose
eventual German invasion with gloves
off" This is interpreted in many quar-
ters here to mean that they are ready
should the Germans succeed in landing
in England-to use every means of COM
bat even gas.

The next four weeks may be the most
momentous and far-reaching of any
similar period in their effects on the
history of our civilization.
If Britain manages to hold out until
the end of September, the whole world
situation will take an unexpected turn
and Germany may be induced to offer
an acceptable peace in which the ques-
ton of Poland, Czecho-Slovakia, Hol-
land, ETC., will not play an important
role. But the question of the British
Empires being maintained and our pres
ent economic and social systems not
having to submit to totalitarian dictates
will be of paramount importance.
AS these lines are written the British
and the German flyers are blasting each
others territories with the usual vio-
lence. 1t appears from all the uncen-
sored reports which have reached Wash
ington that despite the heavy damage
inflicted by the Germans, Great Brit
aims improvised defenses are still intact.
1t is true that the vast navy oil stores
at Portsmouth have been destroyed; that
manufacturing airplane engines for the
British aviation force has been severely
damaged. 1t is true that many small
arms and ammunition factories in the
Midlands have received direct hits and
have been put out of commission for
many weeks to come.
NaZis Have Taken Punishment
The British in turn have damaged
seriously some of the Ruhr arms fac
tories and the military centers of Span
dau and Gross Lichterfelde near Berlin.
These facts have been ascertained by
American observers; they are important,
but they do not really mean very much
for the time being. The principal thing
is that the German general staff, excel
lently informed as it is, has found the
British a tougher nut to crack than it
anticipated.
According to unbiased reports from
England, the frame of mind of the Brit
ish people is: We have to choose between
the hangman's rope and the galleys in
the event We are defeated. We want
neither. Hence let's sell our skins as
dearly as possible. There can be no
hope for us in surrender. Let's fight.
That is our only chance for salvation.
Since the outbreak of the war-a year
ago-the British have considered it more
or less as serious football game. Many
of them, including government officials
had such poor opinion of the people
in Eastern Europe that they thought
they got what they deserved when the
German armies annihilated Poland and
even Norway. Furthermore, many
British statesman considered "one good
peace better than three victories" And
there was belief among the members
of the British government as well as
among average Englishmen that If the
worst came to the worst some satisfac-
tory peace arrangement could be reached
with the Naz government.
