Round About the Home

Planning children's play hours for
the proper amount Of sun is q first
consideration. Wise mothers do this
planning beforehand to avoid vast
ing hours Of precious time with
seedlings and thou shalt nots'
later.
Washington SUMMERS are over
generous with heat but all too often

Rationing has done much to stim-
ulate the members of the Club de
Jeudi to develop originality in the
planning and preparation of their
weekly dinners, And but for the
help problem they would not have
thought of organizing a club of this
type. So, in one way or another
the experiences have not been a
loss by any means. In fact, at the
last dinner they agreed that Ameri-
can cooking is going to reflect for
many years to come the result of
wartime innovations.
Even with the loosening of the
rationing reins there is to be no
going back to the old-time limited
menus-depending merely on ex-
pensive cuts of meat and letting
every other item on the menus tag
along behind.
Last weeks dinner was planned
around a four-pound rack of veal
with the kidneys. The recipe used
in preparing the veal was an au-
thentic French recipe which one of
the members wangled out of the
country clubs chef in return for
three fine cigars. And of equal i'm
portance was the variety of accom-
panying dishes so that the menu
represented balance and continuing
interest. The arrangement ran like
this:
Creme Vichyssoise
Rack OF Veal a la Henry (tte cheU
Fresh Vegetables From Four
Victory Gardens
Asparagus Vtndtgrette
Strawberry Shortcake
Coffee.
A heavy roasting pan with a good
cover Is essential for the veal. 1t
must hold the rack comfortably. In

jail kinds of needlework, and I get
the jitters when try to play games
by myself. So please tell me what
to do to pass the time away until
this terrible war Is over.
LONESOME WIFE.
Answer-The one infallible cure
for lonesomeness and boredom is q
love for reading. Acquire that and
you will have magic that will make
your long. dull evenings pass in a
flash. You will have about you the
most entertaining and amusing
company, and you will always be
taking part in some thrilling ad-
venture that will keep you on your
tip toes.
You will say that my suggestion
doesn't appeal to you and that you
hate books, but you can overcome
this dislike If you will. You car
cultivate fondness for reading lust
as you probably did for olives Oh
caviar. Some people even learn te
Ike spinach. So you needn't &c
oa missing all the fun there is IL
reading unless you are so narrow
minded that you will not try any
new thing.
| Take my word for it, If you will
gel good peppy detective story OF
a sweet love story full of romance
and read it for an hour every night
it Won't take you week to get over
your prejudice against the printed
word and turn you into bookworm
II you scorn reading, why dont
you put in your evenings learning
some trade by which you can make
morey If, after the war, you need te
add to your income? Your husband
may come home sick or wounded
and you may need to stand on youl
own feet and help him. OF course
you san't leave your baby at nights
to goto school, but you can organ
lze a little class that will meet al
your house and get some expert tc
come and give you lessons.

Advises

1t Is not that I want to establish
custom (although I should be very
glad to do so) but merely to repeat
a suggestion made by reader who
was also afraid that people would
pay no attention to r. S. v. P. or
her invitations and that she would
either provide too much or too little
food.
She told me that with her invita-
tions she had inclosed small white
stamped and self-addressed posi-
card on the back of which was
printed, Il am coming "I am
not coming and that the re-
suits had been 100 per cent effective
All those who received these invi-
tations had to do was to cross of
one line and sign their name and
drop the card In a post box.
Dear Mrs. Post: My husband
wants me to have some cards en-
graved for our personal use. He has
professional cards on which is in
cluded his office address and office
hours. How shall I have our cards

Dear Mrs. Post: What is the
proper way to butter pancakes and
what is the proper Wav to butter
English mullins which are toasted
and brought to the table unbut-
tered?
AnsWer-You use the knife tc

is what you meant by the question
If the butter is hard you can use
the fork to help mash it soft as you
putit on. AS for the muffin if there
is one thing that should be butterec

DON'T leave everything until the

hostess is no good to her herself, OF
her guests.

etc. have the stamp of your per-
sonality. The talked of party lis
the one rejecting the taste and in
dividuality of the hostess. Mere
correctness and routine are dull. q
DO keep your table decorations low
and the candles high. Your guests

Mounds of flowers never furthered
good table talk. 3. DO show some
imagination in your table decora-
tions. There's lots besides a bowl
of flowers and candlesticks to
create charming picture. 4. DO
put cigarettes and ash trays on the
table. In spite of the custom of
passing these after the salad course,
people will smoke through the meal
and you might as well be pre-
pared.

these two hours does not natter
because he Is enjoying the most
comfortable part OF the day.
From 1890 to 1880 is the best
time for real sun-tanning occu-
patton. Strip him to a sunsuit rive
him pan of water and let him
make pies in the sand pile for thi.
period. Any other play that keeps
him reasonably stationary win do
as well. At the end of one hour he
has had enough direct sun and
should be changed to shady SPOT
and quiet play for the half hour
before lunch.
Every mother knows that a child
will not play happily in a certain
spot just because he is told to do so.
There must be something arranged
beforehand which entices and keeps
him in this place. Or there must be
some device to shade him from the
direct sun in case his play area is
sunny all day. One easy way of
doing this Is to stretch one of the
Slated porch screens between two
posts. If the youngster is playing
happily he need not be disturbed
and the screen may be quietly set in
place to shield him. However, IL
the play yard Is shaded during GER
tain hours of the day this will be
unnecessary.
If the youngster is between 3 and
6 he will be interested in wheeled
toys, and his play hours much more
difficult to direct. With all his play
mates riding their three-wheel bikes
furiously up and down the sunny
cement pavement he will not be
happy sitting alone in his own back
yard. Something must be done to
make 1t interesting for him to come
in out of the sun.
| A few wooden boxes and boards,
with some nail kegs for good meas
ure, make excellent play material.
Garages, houses, hangers and all
sorts of things may be built with
these. An old oil can full of water
and a few rags can turn the back
yard into service station, and the
same ones who so furiously pedaled
the pavement, can be coerced into a
few hours of quiet while their "en-
gines are fueling."
| Mothers are busy these days.
Nursemaids are few and far be-
tween. A child that is overtired,
sunburned or full of prickly heat
adds one more sorry item to an
oyerworked day Smart mothers
will avoid this as much as possible
by planning a play schedule and
putting in a few hours to start 1t
lin operation.
