Keep En- Shining

Flat silver is very expensive and
terribly hard to get these days, that
is, in certain choice patterns, so
we'd advise you to give extra care
to prewar collections. Beautiful sill
yer is meant to be used, not stored
away, like SO many things, to be
brought forth only on state occa-
sions. Experts tell us that usage pro-
duces more beautiful luster and
the silver needs very little atten-
ton.
However. If you still believe in
keeping it strictly for company use,
clean and polish the silver thor
oughly, then store in q tarnish-proof
chest. Various styles of chests may
be found in the local stores and
you'll find them well worth the cost
Specially treated cloths and even
tissues may be secured for NOM
1nal cost and II you wrap the fiat
ware alright in either of these,
you'll find it bright and shining the
next time you use it. Here's some
thing we didn't know until recently
-tarnish is caused by sulphur sui
phide which is found in egg yolks
and any foods in which they are
used. 1t Is often present in the air,
thus unless silver is used con-
stantly, or stored with special pro-
lection. furnishing is inevitable.

CaensepfeHer' Proves Treat

Have you ever eaten that old Eu-
ropean favorite, "gaensepfeffer" or
goose stew? I had heard of it for
years, but somehow in my wander
ings in the old days had never
happened to catch up with it, as it
were. Instead, it remained for an
officer friend of mine, home on leave,
to introduce me to this delightful
and hearty dish.
The occasion was a small dinner
given in the officers home to cele-
brate the presentation of a fine
fat goose, sent him by a poultry
raising acquaintance. At first it was
to be the usual roast goose affair
with his wife and part-time maid
doing the honors, but when he dis
covered my ignorance concerning
goose stew he offered to whip one up
for me himself, as he had been
taught to do by Frenchwoman in
Normandy
1t took a good bit of preparation
and forethought, for the goose had
to be marinaded in equal parts of
water and vinegar, with onions.

some allspice, for four days before

BY the Victory Chef

When the big moment arrived,
my host took over the kitchen and
went to work. First he sauteed on
ions, chopped fine, small bunch Of
celery, also chopped, in a little mar
garine. To these he added nubbin
of chopped garlic a sprig of thyme,
two bay leaves, and several sprigs
of parsley, and rubbed in a table
spoon of -four. Then in went all
spices and 7 tomatoes, chopped with
their juices. All this was boiled for
half an hour.
In the meantime. the goose was
scared in little fat in a deep kettle,
having been lightly dredged with
-four, salt and pepper. When it was
nicely Drowned all over the vegetable
mixture was turned into the kettle
with it, and 1t was allowed to cook
slowly, covered, until the meat was
ready to fall from the bones.
The carcass was removed from the
kettle. The meat was picked off
carefully in good-sized pieces and
set in a platter to keep warm. The
juices In the pan were checked for
seasoning and tnickened slightly

rubbed together. This gravy was
poured over the pieces of goose and
the dish served Immediately.
My friend told me that in Nor
mandy the dish usually included a
small glassful of dry red wine stirred
into the sauce, but we found the
"gaenSepfeffer" delicious without it.
The rest of the menu was planned
carefully to high light the goose
stew, and started of with rounds
of very hot toast covered with paper
thin slices of smoked salmon that
had been chilled to icy coldnkss.
With this appetizer a small cruet of
good olive oil and a little pepper
mill were handed around-the guests
poured few drops of oil on the sal
mon and topped that with a
sprinkling of the freshly ground
black pepper.
With the "gaensepfeffer" itself we
had small new boiled potatoes, a
puree of chestnuts that was dream
of taste and texture and a garden
lettuce salad with watercress. The
dessert, a lemon souffle, lightly
busted with powdered sugar, was fol-

Greenbelt. Md

In answer to Mrs. M. F. De A. S
request for hints on preparing eggs
for her 9-month-old baby, may
suggest beating the raw egg with
eggbeater and then mixing it in
with the cereal. I did this with
the yolk when my son first started
on that, and then when he was to
start on the whole egg I tried all
ways of fixing it-soft boiled hard
boiled Chopped and mashed very
fine and mixed with butter) and
scrambled. He just would not take
it, so finally went back to my old
method. He is IA months old now,
and while I realize that he still
isn't getting the taste for eggs, at
least he is getting his egg every
day and there is still plenty of time
later on for him to get used to
eating the egg alone. Some chill
dren never will eat eggs.

New Kind of Face Powder

ONCE this lovely girl looked quite = bit

was rapidly approaching middle age.
For she was the innocent victim of an tnfot-
