White Table Cloths

nNE of the most surprising reve-
~ lations that has come from our
boys in the armed forces is that,
when they are on leave, they look
forward to eating at tables cov-
cred with white table cloths. And
yet, when you stop to think of it,
this is really not so strange; for
home meals and hospitality in gen.
eral have had for generations as
tn cir background, snowy white
linen.
Although it's wintry weather in
most parts of the country, it is not
too soon to give an informal little
dinner with spring time flavor;
and if service men are to be guests,
be sure to have that white table
cloth. For center piece, use a low
bowl filled with growing plants.
As this is the Lenten season, we
can plan the menu around a grilled
fish platter. With this 1 would sug-
gest parsley or watercress, whipped
potato, and string beans seasoned
with cumin seed, Latin American
style. The first course could be
shrimp and cucumbers in rame-
kins; the salad, a tossed bowl of
finely shredded savoy cabbage, rad
ishes and shaved raw carrots; and,
for dessert, compete of fruits
with little jelly tarts; and big cups
of Coffee Creme, = that is, coffee
with cream.
If cream is not needed in or on
the dessert, it can be available for
coffee. Personally, l prefer the
cream whipped, and like the cof-
fee served aoith the dessert, so it
becomes part of the sweet course
itself. In this case, it is served at
the table and should be poured by
the hostess. AS the compete of
fruits with jelly tarts do not call
for sugar, plenty will be available
for the coffee; and by the way, if
you can buy little half-size sugar
tablets for use in coffee, sugar is
less likely to be wasted. I'm sure
you will agree this Lenten Dinner
would be of "a deliciousness and
nutritiousness"; and if the buying
is carefully done, it would prove
budget-saving as well. Just check
through the recipes and I'm sure
you will want to try them:
Shrimp and Cucumber Ramekins
Butter small ramekins or scallop
shells. Fill with equal parts of
diced cucumber boiled seven min
utes and diced cooked or canned
shrimp. Cover with sour cream sea-
soned with salt and pepper, then
with buttered bread crumbs mixed
with grated cheese, and brown in
hot oven.
Compete of Fruits with Jelly Tarts
The fruits should be ice-cold and
placed in the four sections of each
dish as follows: Two black mission
figs cooked without sugar; opposite
this, short strips of pink rhubarb
cooked with white corn syrup to
sweeten. Fill in the remaining
spaces with diced pineapple busted
with cocoanut, and sections of
sweet oranges. The tarts should be
Of rich pastry, made very small
and filed with jelly.

so well recognized by our en-
emies, that sowing division
amongst the Allies is the almost
exclusive strategy of their po-
ltical warfare.
1t is now clear that there is an
open conflict between the Anglo
American world and Russia.
In every conflict between allies
the question arises: Which is dis
satisfied with the other, and who
Is making demands on the other?
Are We, in this case, asking
anything of Russia?
No. Russias resistance far sur
passes anything expected by any
of the military commands. At
this moment. Stalingrad is being
defended inch by inch, behind
kitchen tables if nothing else.
Is Russia, in this terrific mo-
ment, asking something of us?
Yes. She is asking that we at
least divert from 80 to 40 divi-
Sions.
Has she, during the last
months, been encouraged to think
that we would do this?
Encouragement Given Russia.
Yes, she has been. This COL
umn pointed out, at the time, the
ambiguity in the phrase, the
urgent necessity of opening sec
ond front this year." with which
the President in May summarized
his conversation with Mr.. Molo-
toff.
The ambiguity promised as
much as it failed to promise; an
international war of nerves was
conducted on that basis; our own
official propaganda to Europe and
the world made the most of it;
and that propaganda was noted
by the people of Russia-thus
bolstering their confidence and,
at the same time, preparing for
the most profound disillusion-
ment should we fail.
The same is true for all the
peoples of Europe. And it must
be said now and said as strongly
as possible: We have got to stop
playing fast and loose with peo-
pies lives and peoples faith. This
war is not fight between politi-
cal machines, to be conducted
with smartness and shrewdness.
and the propaganda of selling"
tactics. This war is a matter Of
life and death for States, for ma
tions, and for every individual. It
requires the most scrupulous pur-
1ty and honesty in it's conduct.
II We fake, and if we disillusion
the masses of the people Of this
world, then God help us.
Are the Russians asking too
much of us? Is it too much to
divert 80 or 40 additional divi-
sions?
Let us push aside all the de-
tails, important as they are-de-
tails OF how and where; details
OF shipping and transportation.
The peoples of the world are no
military experts. They are ask
