Vine Logic
By CaSweU adams

Although America in general Is
becoming more and more wine con-
scious, there are still a great many
people who feel that they are too
ignorant of the correct service for
wines and of how to choose good
wines, to attempt using them in
their homes. Unfortunately, great
many restaurants capitalize on this
timidity and, instead of being help
full to the diner who would like to
try to gain some knowledge of wines
when he is dining out, give him the
completely wrong steer-at an ex-
orbitant price.
For instance, young man of my
acquaintance told me the other day
of what had befallen him in res
taurant where the proprietor should
have known better. Now this young
man is Swiss, brought up abroad,
and his father was the owner of a
substantial wine cellar of no small
fame. This young man took a party
of guests-all of them attached to
diplomatic miSSionS-to dine at a
supposedly good French" restaurant
where he had been several times
before. This evening he noticed on
the wine card that there were few
precious bottles of Rhine wine
1isted-at a large price, but appar-
emily authentic. In good faith, he
ordered a bottle. His friends all
knew good wines as well as he did
and it looked like real treat.
But when it arrived! To begin
with. the bottle was opened before
1t was brought to the table-some-
thing never to be tolerated in any
restaurant. 1t was not chilled.
And, when it was poured and the
first sip taken, it proved to be abso-
lutely undrinkable-not from age or
spoilage, but because it was no kind
of wine at au-not even OF the
cheapest sort.
Our young man protested, and the
waiter informed him that that was
good wine, that he would learn to
like it, that most Americans didn't
know anything about wine and
therefore, he could not say it was
2ot good. Our friend sent for the
proprietor and invited him to have
a glass of wine with him. The man
refused, until forced to do SO, or
actually be discourteous. His ex-
preston when he finished the glass
was a study. Needless to say, the
wine was not charged for and
neither was the dinner!
But this serves to illustrate what
] mean by saying that the dining

USES FOR MILK:
PREPARING OKRA

Here is one way to use milk other
than for soups or custards. In cook
ing cereals like oatmeal or wheat
cereals, start with only part of the
water required. Later add milk to
make up the liquid.
One of my cereal recipes Is as
follows: Three cups water or part
milk, 1s cup each rice and yellow
corn meal, q teaspoons salt.
Cook over direct heat for a few
minutes, then in double boiler for
three or four hours, adding more
liquid if necessary.

USES FOR MILK;

(ThankS to Mrs. J. A. PY

In reply to Mrs. j. H. j. of Branch
vile, Md: Junket is an excellent
way of using milk without eggs
There are several favors in the

be used for plain junket.
In reply to uses for okra" by Mrs
A. j. S. of Washington: If the okra
is cut croSswise in slices about a
quarter of an inch thick, placed in
an iron skillet with shortening or
bacon fat melted therein Cnot for
deep fat frying, just to cover bottom
of PAM and stirred constantly un-
til both sides of each piece are
scared, the disagreeable Shiny con-
sistency is eliminated entirely. /
add can of condensed tomato soup
or, in season, fresh sliced tomatoes,
and cook it slowly until the okra is
tender to a fork (about 20 to 80
minutes).
A simple but delicious soup can be
made by adding to the above mix
ture pieces of leftover cooked
chicken, leftover cooked celery and
chicken stock or chicken concentrate
in boiling water or the chicken
bouillon cubes if no chicken stock is
available. The pieces of chicken are
a nice touch, but not necessary. Rice
also may be added to make a hearty
soup. Onion and celery salt may
be used as seasoning if that flavor
is desired.

Report to the Housewife

This last day of November sees
Washington markets in full swing,
with most produce items in good
supply, except for cranberries, lima
beans, tomatoes and lemons. Best
buys of the week include snap
beans, all the root vegetables, greens
especially kale and collards-cu-
cunbers, artichokes and members
of the cabbage family, such as cab
bage itself, celery cabbage this
makes the most wonderful cole
slaw), brussels sprouts, cauliliower
and broccoli. There is good celery,
both the heart and cooking type
available, and the first of the cur
rent seasons California peas have
arrived to sell at ceiling prices.
Fine avocados from Florida and a
few Casaba melons are to be had.
Persimmons, pomegranates, Florida
pineapples and fresh dates also are
recommended. More bananas have
been received by some dealers and
bigger and better tangerines are
coming in all the time. A few navel
oranges from Florida supplement
the Juice" type and grapefruit,
both pink and plain, is of good quail
ity. Green peppers, white and sweet
potatoes, squash of all kinds, egg
plant and leeks are plentiful and
good. For your salad bowl there are
escarole, chicory, romaine, radishes
and shallotS.
Meats continue to be a hit or miss
proposition. Some markets seem to
have better supplies of beef and veal,
and there is a little more lamb to be
seen. Pork, both fresh and cured,
continues scarce. Usually at this
time of year, there are a number OF
rabbits to supplement the meat
supply-but this season, possibly due
to the low ceiling prices placed on
the bunnies, there are very, very few
of them to be found.
Fish is coming in now from the
South in fairly heavy shipments.
Red snapper and Spanish mackerel
are particularly fine-the latter
pinch hits for the now scarce Bos-
ton mackerel. Good trout is also
available. Eel and seuid are in
plentiful supply-if you're interested
Grab and lobster meat are high, as
Usual, dllu OySItlS SllOW llGIle VI llO
change from last week. Clans rock
along, and you can have your choice
of the small Cherrystone or Little
Neck type, or the larger ones for
chowder Most of the filleted fish
are to be found, although founder
is scarce in many inStanceS-and
fresh founder seems to be out of
the picture this week. Cooked
shrimp will be plentiful.
Poultry supplies are light, with
stewing chickens still the best selec-
ton. Fryers and bakers are few and
far between. Some or the specially
markets have limited number of
ducks, turkeys and guineas, as well
as squads, but for most of them you'll
really have to rifle the baby's piggy
bank! Eggs of all grades are in bet
ter supply than they have been of
late.

To Mrs. H. S. M. Arlington: How
to Remove Cracked Appearance of
Furniture: If the cracking has not
gone too far, you may be able to i'm
prove the appearance and overcome
the condition with a treatment con-
sistirg of varnish, boiled linseed oil
and turpentine.
Mix 2s boiled linseed oil with "a
turpentine and add half as much
clear varnish. Rub mixture into
surface until it starts to harden
Then rub off excess polish with dry
cloths. 1t may be necessary to re-
peat this operation several times.
When wood has been restored,
keep it fabricated with regular ap-
plication of paste wax.
