Clever Tricks Give New
Charm to Old Dishes:
Try These Recipes
Serve Tempting Spring Lamb
In Any of These DISCUSSES
Ideal for Small Family

Anywhere in the U. S. A. it's war
time, but also it's springtime. There
are robins in the North, flowers
abloom in the South, new things in
the markets everywhere And now
Is the time for all good housewives
TO come to the defense OF their
housewifery with that most de-
lectable meat-spring lamb.
We had some roast lamb the other
night, prepared by a resourceful
young woman who writes bright
books for bright people, pounds the
pavements on an AFRAID warden's
beat, is as pretty as a Powers model
and cooks better than any one we
know. She says it's hard planning
for a small family like hers-espe-
cially about roaStS. You can't afford
to waste meat even If you didn't feel
like a home-defense dodger when
you do. So she gave us recipes she's
worked out for four main meat
dishes from one fine leg of lamb.
Also for her way of cooking the
original roast, which is what We
partook of-and generously. The
trace of the garlic combined with
the indeflnable flavor OF red wine
used as q baSting sauce in this
recipe is something, all right!
We also became the proud pos

about. And while we were digging
in our celebrities file fdr the other
recipes, we came across directions
for a wonderful way Of doing a slice
of veal. Robert Stoltz's wife brought
them with her from the old country,
when she and her great composer
husband turned down the induce
ments the Nazis offered them and
became refugees. SO We add the
veal recipe along with the others
just because it's so very good

cialty shops-but we wouldn't even
whisper the cost! This spring deli
cacy, so beloved by the gourmetS
of our grandfather's day, is becom-
ing harder and harder to obtain here
in Washington. Undoubtedly, this
is because the price prohibits any
great demand for 1t.
Poulterers are offering tender
spring duckling. fresh and delicate
in favor, as well as frying chickens,
some capons and Western turkeys.
We predict that the choice for the
Easter dinner will ruin about az
follows-flrst. ham; second, legs
of lamb; third, duckling; fourth,
chicken.
At the produce stalls you will find
fresh mint, to make mint sauce Tor
that lamb, or to cook with baby
new potatoes. Asparagus is little
cheaper than it has been; excellent
peas, expensive and not too good
string beans, fine squash, broccoli,
caulifiower and eggplant are also
available. Greens continue good and
and plentiful, cucumbers are hot
house and a little high.
The fruit situation is going
through a sinking spell, with little
to offer in the way Of variety. Good
Winesap apples for cooking are not
expensive, and there are plenty OF
those big Rome Beauties about for
baking. Rhubarb and pineapple
have been Of good quality, but ber-
ries are between shipments" and
are only fair. Citrus fruits have
had a good season, but are "old
stuff" to most Of us now. Our old
standby, the banana, has entered
the luxury class. This Is a good
time to use up those canned fruits
you have had on the pantry shelves
during the winter, in desserts and
salads-they'll save your sugar, too.
Bakeries will be rushing out loads
of hot-cross buns for your breakfast
tomorrow, and ice cream companies
and catering concerns are all ready
to supply you with delicious and
loyely-to-l ook-at desserts for your
Easter dinner. Charming molds-
both large and indiyidual-range

chickens-and a big fussy hen on

Dorothy Dix Says >>>
Interpretation of Woman's Mind
Possible to Understanding Man

to have gumption enough to see
through her "no-noes' and to steal
the kiss she refused.
SO, son, consider all the collateral
evidence when you are trying to
decide what a girls mo" means.
If she snuggles up to you -WhAn she
says she never pets yet keeps her
mouth in easy reaching distance,
you are justified in concluding that
her mo" means "yes" and that she
is not averse to little petting.
But If, on the other hand, she
keeps herself out of arms reach
when she says mo-" is fiat and final
and you had just as we'll return her
to the bright lights in the ballroom
and begin a discussion about how
long the war is likely to last and
what does she think of the Presi-
dents fiscal policy.
When you ask how girls want to
be treated you touch on not only
one Of the major problems of life,
but also on the source Of its greatest
tragedies, because half of the heart
break and sorrow of the world comes
from men never understanding how
women want to be treated, and thus
blundering into making their sweet
hearts and wives miserable when
they are working themselves to
death to try to make them happy.
No, son, there is no secret way Of
reading woman's mind. When the
Creator made men men and women
women He made them mysteries
that neither ever solves and that is
what makes them Of perpetual in
terest to each other.

A boy who says he is In distress

A boy who says he is in distress
and how-asks me:
What line Of conduct do girls
like in boys? How do girls want
boys to treat them? Do they crave
little mauling, or prefer to be
handled with gloves7' If I step a
girl 2out and Offer little petting
maybe she will say mo" but If I
take her at her word and make no
further advances she won't date me
again because she says I'm slow.
If I am persistent in teasing another
girl for kiss when she says mo"
she calls me fast and won't give me
another date. How, Miss Dix, can
we boys tell what a girl means when
she says mo-? Is there any secret
way of reading their minds? What
does the female species want, any
Way?"
Well, son, how the female mind
works its wonders to perform is
mystery that makes the riddle of
the Sphinx seem like a conundrum
that any moron could guess without
straining his mind But millions
of men, from Adam down, have
wrestled with the problem without
ever finding out how the darn thing
| functions.
And especially has no one ever
discovered just what woman
means when she says mo-" for
sometimes she means Eyes" and
sometimes she doesn't, and which
Interpretation to put upon it is not
only always risky, but often dis
astrous. For nothing infuriates a
woman more, or brands a man as
more of a sap in her eyes, than for
him to accept her rundown as final,
when she only wanted to be begged
to change her mind.
For, you see, with the fair and
devious sex no" is not always a
negative, it is just as often a come
on. 1t is like a waving hand or a
fluttering scarf that beckons the
adventurer on his quest. It is a
shield of conventionality behind

mendable, too, are simple frocks
for office wear, some of them in
crush-resistant wool jersey made
with side button closures instead of
precious zippers.
Glad tidings from the millinery
world are to be reported today, too.
A few months ago Lilly Dache, John
Frederics and Sally Victor joined
forces to form Millinery Inspira-
tion, Inc" They designed hats es-
pecially to be copied by manufac-
turers, thus assuring women good
looking bonnets at low cost. The
idea went over nicely. In fact, it
went over so nicely that four more
top-notch milliners are following
the plan. Led by Walter F1orell and
Helen Leibert, they soon will pre-
sent an "inspirational" collection
also for reproduction purposes. At
this rate it's only question of time
before almost all the hats you buy
will have been designed by a
"sWank" n1illiner although you'll
never be sure just which one did it.
It's fine idea-as well as a hope
ful sign Of the times.

Special Care Is
Advisable for
Thin Child
Extra CQIOries and
Rest Periods Add
Needed Vim
BY Leffice Lee Street,

School was out-and the doors of
the boys entrance burst open with
explosive force as a horde of lads,
all ages, sizes and shapes. spilled
out on the sidewalk. Their hilari-
GUS laughter, hoots and calls could
be heard for blocks as they gathered
In groups and then scampered
homeward in a wild burst of energy.
Among them were two eight-year-
olds-both tall for their age, both
skinny with thin legs and bony
knees. When the first of the two
boys arrived at home he was met
by a smiling mother and offered a
tall glass of whole milk with two
homemade cookies.
She reminded him to eat slowly
and then, as usual, he was asked to
sit in chair and read the funnies
or book or listen to the radio for
half an hour. The house was
peaceful.
The other child was in and out of
his home so quickly the rugs almost
smoked under his feet. He was long
gone and off to join in strenuous
outdoor games before his mother
even glimpsed him.
OF these two highly keyed, under
weight youngsters, which do you
think received the most sensible,
understanding and beneficial care?
If you observe the pupils in any
school you will note that there are
number of children who are ap-
preciably more slender than their
classmates Some so very under
weight that the interested spectator
might feel that there must be some
important reason, or reasons, for this
thinness. And, In fact, there are.
Let us imagine that some OF these
underweight children, who are
otherwise normal, are examined by
a doctor. The results of the physi-
| clans study might reveal several
most interesting situations. One
child is obviously at high tension
doing everything with frantic haste
and intensity. Another will be sc
anxious to finish his meals in order
that he may go on to play that he
eats but sparingly, and then often o1
foods that do not fulfill his nutri.
tional requirments. Another may

Senior Officers
Wishes Always
Respected
Newcomers Should
Learn Army
Etiquette
By Emily Post
By Emily Post

This question about Army eti-
quette comes surprisingly from an
officers wife who has been living
on certain post for the past four
years: Eve have q new commanding
officer, and the other day when two
other Army wives and myself were
sitting in a car outside his head
quarters he sent one Of our hus-
bands out to ask us to come in. We
had up to then not met him. We
liked him very much, and it never
occurred to us to criticize his man
ner OF inviting US. Several days later
in the same way he invited the
f1ancee of one Of his men In. She
didn't 60 in on some pretext or an
other and said to some one later
that the least the commanding ON
Ger might have done was to come
out himself and meet her and then
invite her In. This girls fiance
thinks everything she does is right,
but I'm afraid he doesn't realize
that he's letting her put 4 moose
around his neck. Will you discuss
this for her special benefit?
Answer-In the first place I see
no discourtesy in his behavior to the
wives of his subordinates. In the
second it was not proper behavior
on the part of the fiancee of the
junior officer to criticize her fiance's
commanding officer no matter what
he did. In other words, I think this
young woman's fiance will do well to
teach her something about the ex-
actions of military etiquette before
the chip on her shoulder becomes q
detriment to her husbands career.

that war had meant 10 every man,
woman and child in America. The
Unknown Soldier was . symbol.
That Armistice Day touched the
peak in solemnity.
Since then, most Armistice Days
have been regarded mainly As a
nice holiday. The true meaning OF
the occasion was still there, but,
except for ofncial orators and Ger
tain veteran organizations and mill
tary outfits, ceremonial observance
of the 18th hour Of the l1th day OF
the 18th month Of the year became
rather a hollow gesture. Some peo-
pie still kept the customary silence
at IL o'clock-but as time went on
they became fewer and fewer.
This Armistice Day is completely
different. The meaning and reason
of the date has disappeared into the
NAV of war once again. Another
armistice of the same kind Is un-
thinkable.
Today we have no time to observe
a period Of silence. We are all Of us
pushing full steam ahead to do
over again-and completely this
time-the Job which the last armis-
tice left unfinished. We must not
pause even to think back to that
other armistice: we must put every
bit of our thought and time and en-
erpy into making the next armis-
tice a very different proposition.
Everywhere, in machine shops, in
shipyards, in plane factories. IN
ordnance plants and along tank as
sembly lines, our men and women
aren't stopping to think OF the past
We've got to back up our fighters
and workers every step of the road.
There are many ways in which
we can do our part. Preventing
waste, conserving foods and ma
terials, doing odd jobs that relieve
some one else for active war work
and a high morale, are all within
our province. Let this Armistlce
Day mark, instead of a cessation OF
hostilities, a new surge forward IN
a concerted effort to end all hostil-
tiles forever by fighting this wal
tn a successful finish.
