.Pick-Ups For August

Jars of preserves and put-ups tip their lids to the memory of Fran coiS Appert, French confectioner who is known as the great-grand- daddy of preserving (and keeping!) D . Prompted by promise of fame and fortune from Napoleon himself (whose greatest Waterloo was food spoilage during campaign) i, M'sieur Appert developed the basic preserving methods still followed by putter-uppers the world over.
 Pick the peach from the orchard, pluck the plum from the stall, beard" the blueberry in its den - and go about lining cupboard shelves with jars of put-ups to pre- clude menu-monotony in months to come. Preserve the old trusties, to be sure, but "jar" preserving habits into novelty with 8 few new and delicious put-ups: these:

Two-Course Sandwiches

Here's an easy way to add appe- tite-appeal to a quick cold lunch or supper: simply put the 'makings' together in double decker sand- wiches, with the meat course" on the bottom deck-the vegetable course on the one. Use slices of enriched bread for extra vita minS and minerals. Small left over amounts of cold meat, cheese, vegetables or what-have-you, will go farther when they re served in this manner. Sandwiches always look inviting, too. Serve them with cied tea or coffee, and wind up the meal with chilled fruit, and cake from your favorite baker
 To make two-course sandwiches, toast thre eslices of bread for each serving, (two slices of enriched white bread and one slice of rye or whole wheat for flavor variety)
 Butter the toast and place meat cheese, egg or fish on the first slice Cover with second slice of toast and put the vegetable course" of your meal; top with the third slice of toast. You now have a double decker sandwich. Cut it across diagonally both ways, making four triangles. Thrust a toothpick through each quarter, to hold the slices together firmly. Arrange on serving plate with the fuor points standing perkily skyward. Garnisl1 with olives, pickles or raw carrot StrawS.
 Almost any combination of sand wich filings or left-overs may be served in this style. When cooked vegetables are used, drain them well, mash or chop them, and blend them with mayonnaise or salad dressing. Here are few sugges- tions of things that taste good to- gether. Numerals 1 and 2 indi- cate what to put on the 1st and End slices of toast. Lettuce and seasonings may be added or sub tracted.
 1. American or Swiss cheese, mustard.

 2. Lettuce, potato salad.

'Late-Su1lnn1er Main Dishes
BY JOSEPH BOGGIA Chef du Cuisine-The Plaza
 

NeW 1OEk
 If ever the cook needs help from outside her own kitchen it is in late summer, when interest in all foods lags and the imagination - once so quick to think of novel things to try out - seems to have dried at its source.
 It is then that you would well come most visit to some great hotel where the cold buffet sparkles with its beds of crushed ice and dish after dish is set forth in such parade of colorful late summer foods as only the gourmet dreams of.
 At first glance you might think that none of these beautiful con- coctions were simple enough to be made at home. But believe me, many of them are |. !. and need not be as extravagantly prepared as for the large hotel. Among them is this egg dish which has a great follow ing during midsummer in the Per- sian Room:
 EGGS FEN GELEES
 In round or fluted moulds pour little aspic and let chill until a coating forms on all sides. In the center of each place a hard boiled egg and surround with ju- ienne of cooked chicken and baked ham. ("Julienne" means cut in fine shreds.) Finish with sufficient aspic to barely cover. Chill thoroughly. When ready to serve, unmould on crisp lettuce leaves.
 For the Plaza buffet we make a very pretty dish called Shrimps Jo- seph. cooked shrimp chopped and combined with chopped hard-boiled eggs and finely minced green pep perS, the whole mixed with may and served in shells of let tuce with those tiny jewel like tomatoes for garnishing. More may onnaise highly seasoned with Wor- ceStershire and Escoffier sauce is served separately.
 Another exc client main dish which can be prepared in the morn ing of warm days is Lamb Chop in Aspic. Broil the chops, trim off all fat, mount each chop upon a slice of chilled fresh pineapple and mould each portion separately in aspic. There is also Veal Chop in Aspic. the directions for which I shall give you another day.
 To the chef "aspic" is always calf's foot jelly. Few home cooks care to struggle with the making of thatl Tn it's place therefore you may use lemon-flavored gelatine, made according to directions that come on the box. This Is e quick and reliable "aspic" for the anna teur. and quite itasty In its own way.

Ann doesn't regret leaving high

She says that any one who keeps
her. eyes and ears open can learn
something everywhere-particularly
at a motion picture studio. When
she was in Gone With the Wind"
and Pride and Prejudice" she
learned considerable about period
furniture and old glass. The result
is her new Colonial hous-, in which
she lives with her mother and grand
mother. Ann made all the lamp
shades and some of the bedspreads
herself.
She says she used to make all her
clothes and still makes some of them.
She wore a brown and beige wool
jersey dress which a college girl
might choose for campus wear. Ann
explained it was one of her costumes
for Keeping Company" which she
had liked well enough to buy for her
personal wardrobe.

Her favorite colors are red, blue
and pink. When she's at home, Ann
likes to wear shorts or slacks.
When she has an early morning
call at the studio, Ann drives to work

HOLLYWOOD.

HOLLYWOOD.
Contrary to popular opinion, it
isn't always plain girls who are
sensible.
Ann Rutherford's extraordinary
prettiness has made her the official
sweetheart of a dozen or so college
fraternities. But she has her feet
more firmly on the ground than
some women twice her age, which
is 81.
The cute little trick who plays
Mickey Rooney's girl friend in the
Andy Hardy pictures seems to be
able to keep her numerous off,
screen boy friends at distance, and
still interested. This is no mean
feat for a girl who lives in Kokomo,
Ind, or Monet, Mo. But it's con-
siderably greater achievement in
Hollywood.
A girl of AIMS type isn't in pic
lures unless she possesses more than
her share of good looks and come
hither." And in Hollywood, where
talk. and sometimes actions, are
more free than elsewhere, this at
tractive combination is apt to evoke
enough passes" to tax a girls in
genuity.
Curled up on a sofa in her living
room. Ann explained her method
for coping with the situation.
She Can't Be Bothered.
after a girl is past 49," said Ann,
"she's too old to imagine she's in
love with every boy who takes her
out. And it's cheap to pretend she
is. When a boy begins to pitch WOO
I refuse to to take him seriously. II
you have technique and practice
YOU can do this without making him
feel ridiculous. Usually, it's effec-
tive.
"If he persists, I make it clear I'm
not interested in heavy romance. I
love dancing, and like to have fun
and a lot of laughs. But If this isn't
his idea of a good time he's wasting
time taking me out. I can't be both
cred"
But she never treats a date like
brother.
Men can't bear that ancient sis
ter act" Ann declared. I don't
blame them"
Apparently, AIMS method works
beautifully, for she has half a dozen
stanch admirers on whom she can
call in any emergency. Twice, when
an escort had too much to drink,
Ann phoned one of these boys, who
drove here home.
Never Chase a Man.
AIMS men friends are just about
evenly divided between those in
pictures and those who aren't. They
include rising young cowboy star,
a studio executive and wealthy men
who aren't connected with the
movie industry.
One of the latter is Charles Isaacs,
who recently was drafted. He left

to snap out of that and settle down.
He didn't even drink champagne at
Deanna Durbin's wedding"
Ann insists that she isn't in love
with any one-yet. When she mar
ries, the man must have brains and
sense of humor. He need be only
a little taller than her own 5-foot
3la inches, but she hopes he'll smoke
a pipe. If he's in pictures, he
mustn't be Hollywood"
I'd just as soon he wouldn't be
goodlooking, Ann confded. Hand
some men are apt to coast on the
strength of their good looks"
She also says that good looks can
be handicap to girls. She's seen
pretty girls lose out with men be-
cause they were too confident that,
like a Streetcar," there'd always be
a new man coming along.
And pretty girls, Ann said sagely,
don't always become attractive
women. After 80, character in
womanS face is more important than
