You've had salads served in rings
of jellied tomato juice, and cucum-
ber juice, and aspic and goodness
knows what, plenty of times-but
we wonder if you have thought OF
making such a ring out Of COM
bination of several vegetable juices
all at once? This gives you more
nutritional value, and also provides
YOU with a brand-new taste Sensa-
ton.
And such a ring is no more trouble
to prepare than one of plain to-
mato juice, for instance. You can
buy your chosen vegetable juices
put up individually in cans, and
combine them yourself; you can
have them freshly extracted for you
on order at several Washington
stores-or you can buy the ones al
ready mixed in tins-probably the
simplest method of all. unless you
are allergic to one Of the vegetables
included.
OF course, if color is important
you can choose juices that will fl
in best with your general scheme

types of pears seen would keep a
gourmet in a state of indecision.
With all the talk these days about
utilizing every scrap of food, left
overs assume an even greater i'm
portance than ever.
The secret of serving made-over
dishes successfully, without incurring
the family's wrath. lies mostly in
seasoning and the gentle art OF
camouflage. If you can make turkey
or yesterdays roast beef look like
something else by skillful disguise.
and then reinforce its somewhat
weary and timeworn flavor by the
addition OF a little new seasoning,
you've really got something. One
of the best pepper-uppers to leftover
meat dishes is the addition Of .
bouillon cube to the liquid or gravy
included in the diSh-this gives
color and strength, and completely
changes the culinary picture. Bouil-
Ion cubes are inexpensive and easy
to use, and I know any number Of
Al cooks who use them to enhance
frst-run party dishes-so why
should you be too proud? II
you don't want extra meat stock
added to your ingredients there are
nicely favored vegetarian bouiuon
cubes that may be substituted.
Another trick employed by alert
cooks who like to add interest and
distinction to ordinary dishes is the
use of wine in the cooking. With
the excellent and not expensive do
mestic wines available, the art OF
such cookery should appeal to most
women. Fish takes on a new taste
and finer texture when cooked with
white wine; the inexpensive cuts OF
meat are made tenderer and more
succulent when wine is included in
their preparation. It's fun to ex-
pertinent with such dishes, and you
will find that modern cookbooks
are devoting more and more space
to such cookery. so there will bs
plenty OF recipes from which tc
choose.

erals; and that any menu which
can be served from a general plat
ter is sure to be more speedy than
ore requiring more complicated
service.
The foods selected for the plat
ter are individual ham molds with
parsley garnish. buttered broccoli,
caulihower. carrots and whipped
sweet potatoes in orange shells.
A tart lemon sauce to be served
over the vegetables is an appetizing
accompaniment.
Good quality oranges with their
clean skins are ideal for use as
cups especially when the Juice is

ice. Many foods may be served in

that you have a greater quantity

Collars and Cuffs

The collar and cuff set which the
dainty lady likes to use on her basic
dress has its predecessor. At the
time of the Italian Renaissance both
the men and women were vainly
proud of their undergarments, and
they allowed an edge to show along
the neckline and beyond the cuffs
of their coat sleeves. From this
habit developed the creation OF
separate cuffs and collars.
