Grapefruit Delicacy

By GAYNOR MADDOX

Canned grapefruit juice is low
in point cost but very high in es-
sential vitamin c content. 1t can
be used "as is" and also in home
made ices that give the plainest
menus a festive note.
The terms ice and "sherbet"
mean the same thing to most peo-
pie but there is a very real diff
ference between these delicate fro
zen creations. An ice" is exactly
what its name implies; an icy,
sweetened combination of water
and fruit juice. A sherbet, or
milk sherbet' as it is more prop
erly called, is far richer and con-
tains milk and egg whites.

Plans to extend special member
ship privileges as well as hospitality
to women officers of the armed
forces stationed in Washington will
be inaugurated this week by the
Women's City Club.
The fact that officers of the WAC,
WAVES, SPARS and Marine Corps,
strangers In Washington, virtually
have had no place to 60 after office
hours to enjoy a sociable chat with
other women was brought to the
attention of club members some
time ago. Enlisted personnel of the
women's services already had their
USO clubs, 1t was pointed out, in
addition to which many enjoyed
group companionship in the bar
racks. But the women officers just
had no place to go, and for many
the war front in Washington has
become a battle Of loneliness and
nostalgia.
When Mrs. Laura Nicholson, ex-
ecutive secretary Of the War Hos
pitality Committee, told Mrs. John
Lucker, president of the City Club,
that she had met many WAVE off,
GERS who complained of being lonely,
Mrs. Lucker decided something must
be done about it and in October a
special meeting was called at the
clubhouse on Jackson place.
Plans Completed.
AS a result of that and subsequent
meetings, plans have crystallized
and the first of series of Sunday
night suppers will be held next Sum
day evening at the jackson place
cafeteria. Members of the Women's
City Club will serve as hostesses,
cooks and mattresses.
The cafeteria, which is closed
Sundays, has been placed at the dis
posal Of the City Club by the man
ager. There are many good cooks
among the club members who will
take turns in providing tempting
dishes at the buffet suppers.
The club feels particularly fortu-
nate in having Mrs. J. Maynard

for two years directed the USO
canteen at Laurel, offer her services
