Facts About Food . . In February the food fanciers
have time for themselves preparing to please discour
ace hungry folks who are dreaming of Tbone steaks and
pats of butter With Valentine Day. Lncolns ana WASH
ngton's birthdays the Tuesday and Friday afternoon
bridge clubs vie with another to stake guests to some
thing startling if not paatabe. If the menus are more
startling than palaabe no one is to blame except u
hostess and the food fancier VINO recommends smart s
TO do with dry cereals and pquant twists OF raw cao
Party cakes sold to you with encouragement III
the substitution of apple butter Tor old-1ashloned yeoW
butter remember that y. You will discover In your
reading of food literature that you never realized the pos
sibities of potatoes and grapefruit until you nave COM
bined the two in salad designed to your tea guests
who were hoping for something nourshing enough to elm
mate supper later at home. The George Washington
birthday gave you chance at doing tricky things with
whipped cream cherries and gelatin colored blue which
presents the coors and saves you and the country Tor
democracy And that housewives are getting ac
auanted with their kitchens again, they doing swell
Job with pecans, egg yoks and scaded milk, and Their
gelatin desserts and salads beginning to crowd the
icebox And speaking of iceboXes the iceboX cake is
again quite home anked with leftover vegetables and
todays two quarts of milk. In short in many house
holds, food is picking up again Food is fun!
