Zestful Menu
Of IS Can
Pale Yalta S
By JAMES E. HAGUE
AP NeWsfeatures

BALTIMORE. - Theh menus for
the sumptuous dinners given to
each other by the big three at
Yalta, recently revealed, may have
raised eyebrows at the National
Archives in Washington but they
drew only smokers at the Mary
land Historical Society.
The society pointed haughtily to
its 67-item menu for the dinner
given by Baltimore for Vice Ad-
miral David Farragut in 1865. 1t
almost makes the Yalta meals look
like something you'd pick up on
like something you'd pick up on
The Farragut dinner started
with oysters and two kinds of soup
(tomato and OYSTER. There were
only two kinds of fish, boiled hall
but with lobster sauce and broiled
shad.
But in the department labeled
Boiled" the food really started
coming: There was mutton with
caper sauce, smoked tongues,
rump corned beef, chicken with
oyster sauce, jowl and kale and
Cassard ham. Chat jowl item
has something to do with pork,
the historical society says.)
The roasts were nothing fancy
stuffed turkey, capon chicken,
spare ribs of pork with apple
sauce, loin of veal, ham with cham
payne sauce and sirloin of beef.
Full? That's too bad, because
there's still lot left.
The entrees were pretty nearly
as fancy as those on a Yalta bill of
fare. Farragut's menu included
fried oysters, la Maryland filets
de boef, pique aux champignons !;
marcaron all gratin; pigeons brai-
sees, aux petits pois; deviled crabs,
New York style; chicken salad;
ris de veau, glaces, aux epinards
(sweatbreads with spina ch);
broiled Holsters with plain sauce
tartare and croquettes de ris, la
vanille.
Vegetarian George Bernard
Shaw wouldn't have tasted, either,
not with the vegetables which in.
cluded turnips, sweet potatoes,
hominy, rice, tomatoes, peas, sue.
cotash, asparagus on toast, mash.
ed potatoes and beets.
There were II relishes, includ-
ing such exotic items as mangoes,
martienos and picallili English
mustard pickles.. There were six
sauces, including walnut and oys-
ter catsup.
To fill whatever space anyone
had left, there were IA types Of
desserts.

there's them as haven't got what
it takes to wear 'em snug and
still look attra ctive. For the lat

form of the new "bustle' shorts
which are full and "bustley" be-

flage unstreamllned contours.

Below curry jackets, you'll find

NEW YORK.-You will be able to
spot a spring suit blocks away by
the saucy new tricks it carries on
its hips-parapet pleats, rocket
pockets, a Polonaise drape, or a
fan-tailed flare swinging in the
back.
Also shouldering it's way into
the suit picture is the new round
line of sleeves which replaces the
squared-off look of the football
halfback. What's in between all
these curves at the top and bot
tom of jacket is the hour lass
waistline, which seems to be los
ing inches in fashions new deal.
