you" All day long my heart is
singing because he'll come home
presently. When I finally hear the
car in the driveway, I dash out in
high excitement to greet him, only
to be brought up short by harsh
reality. My "Yoo-hoo, darling"
brings one of several rejoinders:
What's the rake doing in the
path? I've told the kids a thou
sand times some one will get hurt
if they leave it with the prongs up
Who burned the papers? They
are flying all over"
why weren't the porch chairs
brought in when it showered?"
Sometimes when I give him that
evening kiss. he accepts it without
evidence of emotion and says moth
ing at all.
Freddy cry-babies because I don't
act romantic enough about him, but
it's difficult to bill and COO over a
man who is stewing about rakes and
porch chairs. When he starts snarl-
ing, L nave complete reversal OF my
all-day yearning for him. And the
strange thing is I never learn. Next
day when he leaves, I think, TO-
night will be different. Everything
will be wonderful when he comes
home"
Sometimes l wish he had a job
which took him to foreign lands
and brought him home only three
or four times a year. I'd have
months to dream of our joyous re-
union when his transoceanic plane
came in. Yet I'd bet money that
as he came up on the terrace and
into my outstretched arms, he'd
growl, who left that bicycle on the
steps? 1 might have tripped and
broken a leg"

Bv the Chef

Macauley has familiarized us with
the fact that Francis Bacon died a
victim to science in what may have
been one of the earliest experiments
in practical cold storage. At the
end of March, in 1926, while travel
ing on snowy day, he left his coach
to collect snow with which he meant
to stuff a fowl to observe the effect
of the cold on the preservation of
its flesh In SO doing he contracted
a chill, which led to his death a few
weeks later from bronchitis. In the
last letter Bacon ever wrote, feeble
as he was, he did not fail to mention
that the experiment Of the snow and
the fowl had succeeded "excellently
we'll"
In December of 1868, Samuel
Pepys notes in his diary that fowl
killed in December, Alderman Bar
ker said, he did buy. and putting
into the box under his sledge did
forget to take them out to eat until
April next, and then they were
found there, and were, through the
frost, as sweet and fresh to eat as
well as at first killed.
But the real father of modern cold
storage was Charles Teller of Paris,
who was almost forgotten until in

That Bad Child
Bv AnqeIo Pafri

There wouldn't be bit of trouble
with Jimmy if 1t weren't for that
rascal next door. The minute
Jimmy gets with him there's trouble
Imagine them telephoning to City
Hall, the police station and the fire
station, amusing themselves all
afternoon telephoning people until
they have the whole neighborhood
up in arms. Jimmy never would
have thought of such a thing if 1t
had not been for that Imp of Satan!
I've tried to keep him away from
him, but what can you do?"
Don't be so sure about Jimmy.
True, two children usually do a
better job than one, but COM
panionship is essential in their lives
and they will seek out each other
always-like to like. Why did Jim
my take to the neighbor's boy, and
he to Jimmy? Why didn't Jimmy
make friends with that nice, tidy
mannerly, studious boy several doors
down the street? You know the
answer to that, of course.
Many girls and boys have moved
through my days, acting as children
always act, and none ever grew up
without giving their fathers
mothers, aunts and school teachers
plenty about which to think. All
of them get into mischief. The
keener their minds the richer the
quality of the mischief-and the
more dangerous. Imaginative chill
dren keep their families always or
the alert.
4 The best we can do is to train
the child as well as we can, to
think about the feelings, needs and
condition of others, remembering
Evening star., 1946-07-22

that children under the age Of ado
lescence. even beyond, have little
understanding Of life and their re-
lationship to 1t through the neigh
bors. For long time our teaching
Is but the sounding of words. Only
experience puts meaning into those
words, but experience requires years.
Be patient through those years.
Accept the difficulties your chill
dren bring upon you. Understand
and accept. their naughtiness, their
mischief and wrongdoing without
blaming the neighbor's child. Look
to your child with as much clarity
of vision as you are able to center
on the neighbor's child; that is,
with as much as your fondness and
partiality allows. Talk things over
with the neighbor, and, If he Is
understanding and cooperative all
will get along better.
When window is broken charge
1t to the child and see to it that he
pays. In some way that enriches
his experience. When he damages
property make him do whatever Is
possible to remedy his mistake. Keep
as cool as you can, be bored rather
than angered. and push as much re-
sponsibility as possible upon him.
1t is experience in bearing RESPONSE
bility that teaches The neighbor is
looking at your child as YOU look
at his. Better get together.

Deep-Freeze Theory Not New

The mails, magazines and news
papers are full of the marvels of
deep-freeze methods and units these
days. The postwar home, once it
gets really under way. will have
deep-freeze equipment just as much
matter of course as stove or a
bathtub. And we moderns. accus-
toned to adopting one wonder after
another, accept all this with hardly
a thought or question.
Actually, of course, the modern
deep-freeze is simply the perfection
of one of the Oldest forms of food
preservation known to man. While
salting and brining were to play
their part in keeping foodstuffs-
along with smoking and other meth
ods of curing" as civilization de-
veloped-the caveman learned that
meat left packed in ice or snow re-
manned edible for long time.
There is legend that in Siberia
there have been fairly recent in
stances of mammoths preserved in
ice so that their flesh was still eat
able, the preservation having started
at about the time of mans origin on
this earth. Gwen with the meat
scarcity, I don't believe I'd care for
this one.)
The early Greeks and Romans
packed the delicacies for their great
banquets in snow brought from the
mountain tops by laborious relay
systems. We know that they iced
their drinks by records of their
feasts, and also ice cream, in a
simple form, was served at Roman
tables.

1912 the International Cold Storage
Association opened public subscrip-
ton for him when he was "a years
old. He had spent all his fortune in
the development of cold storage.
In 1875 he had steamer, the
''Frigorflque" especially fitted for
cold storage, to hold freezing tenn
peratures even below the equator.
The ship sailed from Rouen with
meat, which arrived preserved per-
fectly three months later at the Rio
de la Plata. She returned with a
cargo of meat in the same excellent
condition. Tellier's process was ap-
piled to fishing boats off Morocco
and along the French coasts. From
this small beginning, the enormous
trade of refrigerated foodstuffs grew
up over the whole world-and into
the American postwar kitchen!

out in the shade, with good light

thrive. When they need watering,
the fine spray on the hose does an
excellent job. AS long as they are
in the shade and do not stand in
water, this does not seem to harm
them.

to think that, after eight hours

don't isn't always of my making

TABLE MODEL IRONER;
BREAD PUDDING.
From Mrs. L. S., Alexandria.

From Mrs. L. S., Alexandria,
This is my first contribution to
the RICH, but as I have found it
most helpful I would like to advise
Mrs. B. P. NICK. not to spend any
money on a small table model
ironer.
I had one before we came East
and found same most impractical,
as the roller is too short in length.
Mine was 26 inches, so you can
readily see by even folding 54-inch
tablecloth in half it was still too
wide for the roller. Personally l
prefer hand ironing to an ironer, as
the latter is too slow.
I also noticed some one asked for
a bread pudding recipe. I use the
following all the time and we enjoy
it very much. Same is taken from
Americas Cook Book. I only use
half of the recipe.
One and one-half cups diced stale
bread, cups milk, scalded; 2 eggs,
beaten; u cup sugar, 4 teaspoon
salt, u teaspoon cinnamon, u cup
raiSins, nuts or coconut. Soak bread
in milk in creased baking dish.
Combine eggs, sugar, salt and CHINA
mon; stir into bread mixture; add
raisins and set in pan of hot water.
Bake in moderate oven $3.50 degrees
F0 for As to so minutes (25 minutes
for half of recipe), or until knife
comes out clean when inserted in
center. Serve with jelly or hard
sauce or cream if desired. Approx
mate yield, portions.
