Should Be a Large Supply
Of Cherries in Markets
By Edith NJ. Barber

Although it is dangerous to make
prophecies in regard to perishable
food which Is exposed to 50 many
hazards from weather conditions
and which this year Is exposed to
the danger of the labor shortage for
picking, it looks as if cherries would
be plentiful. In most sections of
the country, trees are bearing we'll,
and we can hope that this delicious
fruit will get to market.
The big sweet cherries from the
West have been with us for some
weeks already. The sour cherries,
often known as pie cherries" will
follow them. They may be canned
for use In winter pies or other des-
serts, and a few of them may be
allotted for jam, or perhaps I should
say marmalade, as the fruit is
usually whole after pitting. Sour
cherries are so juicy that they
should be pitted over a bowl which
will catch the juice. This method
should be used whether the cherries
are to be prepared for preserving or
for use in pie or a cobbler.
While sweet cherries are. suitable
for canning, it is seldom that they
are cheap enough for us to buy
them for this purpose. If you are
lucky enough to have your own
tree in the country, that is another
matter. We seldom cook cherries
of this type but use them in their

Summer Squash, Tropical Style,
Makes Interesting New Dish

It seems odd that children are
probably urged to eat their carrots
and spinach in the tropical lands
Of Middle America just as they are
up here.
One is apt to forget that the more
mundane vegetables are also found
in the countries from which came
that exotic and nutritious fruit, the
banana, and many other tropical
products which do not grow in our
own temperate climate. The ordi-
nary vegetables of Middle America
are, OF course, exactly like the ones
we grow In the States, but there the
resemblance ceases abruptly, for the
recipes used in Mexico, Guatemala,
Haiti and Ell Salvador-to mention a
few of the Middle American coun-
tries-feature all kinds of unusual
combinations. Many are really
delicious.
For instance, one dish combines
carrots with apples, and another
mixes spinach with chopped green
peppers, celery and cheese. But best
of all, there's the grand culinary
idea of dressing summer squash with
parsley and sour cream and topping
it off with a sprinkling of grated
cheese.
Here's the recipte, direct from
Middle America-tasty and full
bodied enough to he the main dish

Summer Fashions
Pedigreed Purses Exceptionally Lovely;
Other Styles Also Have That New Look

Fashion chatter: You will be
pleased to learn that the newly
opened shopping service at the
Pentagon Building is going like the
proverbial house afire. In fact, its
popularity has surprised even its
staunchest hackers and has kept the
staff of the shop on its toes track
ing down everything from lawn
mowers to lingerie, just as they
promised Nice going.
From a shoe salesman comes
the newest idea to make going bare
legged more of a JOY Having dis
covered that they can apply leg
makeup to the end of those little
cotton FOOTE'S and thus wear OPEN
toe shoes without stockings, the
leg makeup enthusiasts now are
wondering whether they can figure
out way to wear open-backec
shoes. This salesman we know says
it's a cinch. Since most girls like
the comfort of some sort of a foot
covering and since those same foot
coverings look terrible peeking out
of an open back shoe, the idea is
to cut away most of the heel of
the "footie,' leaving just a band of
fabric in back to go under the band
Of the Shoe He says that you must
finish off the band, though, to
avoid ragged look. You might
experiment with this. cause leg
makeup is wonderful stuff, but
bare feet in shoes are not exactly
conducive to foot comfort. ..
And speaking of shoes, if you
want to invest your No. 18 in some
thing "out of this world" have a
look at the new black suedes that
one shop is showing with justifiable
pride. These have been ordered
for months, so they're the high
style variety that you won't be see
ing from here on in. There's a
platform sandal with ankle strap
that's honey. Our favorite,
though, is a d'orsay pump with open
toe, cut way down to there. The
heel, we would have you know, is
AZ inches high! These having been
made before restrictions can have
such features and still be within the
law. Needless to say, they're not
designed for daily wear; they're
shoes for special occasion or, as the
saying goes, "shoes to sit in"

Doting Grandma
Wise One Will Avoid Letting the Baby
Become Abnormally Devoted to Her
By Leffice Lee Street,

1t or not. Like our man-made laws,
the laws Of nature hold no brief for
ignorance-if q law is broken the
consequences follow inevitably, no
matter how innocent the wrong
doer.
The grandmother who becomes
the very center of baby's life U
am speaking now of a baby whose
mother and father are taking care
of him) Is doing this beloved little
person q cruel wrong because 1t is
abnormal for . youngster to grow
up loving his grandmother to the
exclusion Of every one else or even
preferring her to others, notably
his own mother and father.
Furthermore, such q grandmother
Is violating one OF the fundamental
laws of child psychology. which is
-over-solicitude can be ~ harmful
to child as neglect.
If q grandmother notices that
her grandchild leaps from the arms
OF any one holding him when she
enters the room and loudly demands
her company in preference TO that
OF any one else he knows, she should
stop monopolizng the baby ut once
and give him the chance to become
acquainted with his parents. She
should subtly build up" his par
ents, and others, to him. She should,
In short, tactfully withdraw within
her rights and not deprive her
grandchild Of his right-which Is
the ability to feel deep love for his
own mother and father.
Evening star., 1943-06-29

That grandmothers have certain
rights no one can deny; theirs is
the privilege of bathing and ban
daging a scraped elbow and kissing
the soft little arm above it; theirs
the JOY of comforting the hot and
weary little tad who seeks the haven
OF granny's lap; theirs the fun of
singing ridiculous nursery jingles
and Of observing with delight the
twinkle In baby eyes and the pink
curve Of laughing baby lips, and
theirs Is certainly the right to bore
their friends to distraction with
proud boastings promptly illustrated
with the grandbaby's latest snap
shot-invariably la nude and fuz-
zily out of focus. Grandmothers
are useful, too. fine to leave the
baby with, or In times OF sickness,
and savers of small broken hearts
when the second baby arrives.
But these rights should (and have
to. If the beloved baby Is to grow
up to be = normal, steady man or
woman) stop short of becoming 80
numerous that they clutter up the
baby's horizon and opliterate his
other grandmother and relatives
and, sometimes, even his parents,
from his mind.
Yes, a grandmother can do her
job too well; she can be too patient,
loving, ready and anxious to take
care Of the baby; too doting and de-
voted. When she is this way she Is
