n"erica,, China
On Display

A fascinating exhibit h.,.
locally this week. features nLa
luxury china, created in Amertea II
materials collected in various parts
OF the country. from the mountains
Of Vermont, the sand banks of the
South and the clay valleys of the
Western section.
In past years the designs for din.
nerware were adopted from patterns
which originated during the deco
rative periods Of many countries,
but certain designers believed that
the ware should be nodded to shapes
that best suited our table service:
therefore a plate was created that
boasts simple. fine lines. as well as a
more generous well for food.
A group Of famous contemporary
painters was commissioned to create
handsome decorations for this Amer
ican-made china. The original works
Of these artists can be seen in the
worlds leading art galleries and the
reproductions on the china are
strictly typical Of each individuals
style and treatment.
Decorative pieces, service plates,
vases, trophies, occasional pieces
and complete luncheon and dinner
services are being shown They are
decorated with a wide variety OF
patterns ranging from the American
flag over Mount Vernon to flowers
and animals
The various pieces have been ef-
fectively arranged fer this exhibit,
each one being placed near the
painting from which its design orig
mated. Also several unusual and in
teresting new table settings have
been planned including an after
theater supper setting and a group
based around a Chinese motif.
The display forms An interesting
adventure in ceramics and one that
Is well worth looking into. D. NJ.

Margarine Now
Butterlike
In Flavor
Most Is Fortified
With Titamin 4;
Use 1t Freely
By Edith NJ. Barber

Butter has been the symbol Of
plenty and of good cookery for many
centuries Our Colonial ancestors
introduced milk cattle to the New
World as soon as possible and felt
that they were settled permanently
when butter for home use could be
produced AS our pioneers went
westward cattle followed For gen.
erations we have been accustomed
to considering butter the staple
spread for our bread and have been
lavish with it in use for cookery.
The recent butter shortage has
brought home to us that we are at
war even more than the sugar ra-
tioning, because our butter is all
produced in this country. Many
housekeepers have purchased for the
first time margarine for table use
and have been pleasantly surprised
at its butterlike flavor and texture.
A reinforced margarine provides
vitamin A fully as well as butter
itself. Let me remind you that the
capsule of coloring which is supplied
with each purchase OF margarine
should be carefully worked into the
product so that there are no streaks.
OF course, 1t is not necessary to color
margarine which is used in cookery.
The margarines Of today are quite
different from the original product
and are standardized in every re-
spect.
Until the First World War all fats
were considered equal in food value.
The scarcity of butter in Europe
and the substitution of other fats
for it showed that 1t contained a
factor not common to all fats. Va
rious disturbances of the functions
OF the eyes were the most spectacu-
lar results Of the butter shortage.
1t was eventually discovered that
the important factor was vitamin A,
which was not provided adequately
by other foods available during war
time. During the years following
the war first one manufacturer Of
margarine and then another began
to fortify their products with vita
min A. OF course, we are not de-
pendent upon either butter or mar
garine for our supply of this essen
tial vitamin. All green and yellow
vegetables provide this in varying
amounts. For this reason other
shortcomings may be used in cookery
without danger of disturbing the
balance of our diet.
