when do we eat-what are we
having for dinner-aren't we ever
going to have any food around
here" in below which can pro-
baby be heard IN Phoenix? It's
one of those masculine traits that
becomes the more irritating if
you've had a very busy day and
haven't the foggiest notion your
self what the evening meal will
consist of.
My mother, a sound psycholo-
giSt, (although she'd have said
"Fiddlesticks!" if you had told
her SOY had her own method of
forestalling the hungry horde and
keeping peace in the family while
she quietly took her time rum
maging around in the pantry.
She set the table early, before her
lord and master got home, and
then she popped an onion into a
covered pan of water. Seeing the
table all ready, and smelling the
gentle but insistent fragance of
the cooking onion convinced
everyone concerned that dinner
would be served any minute.
All, the onion! What the world
would be without it, I simply can
not conjecture. I've never met
an onion l didn't like, no matter
what the disguise. Au naturel, or
dressed up fit to kill, they are
infinitely stimulating, always sat-
isfying, lending a certain eclat
to the dullest of foods, like a
witty woman at an uninspired
party.
Progressing from the raw state,
tender little green things to be
consumed in two bites, to what
might be called their adolescence,
where still in the raw, they are

Wonderful with frijoles) to ma
turity, whence, separated into
rings and plunged into deep sizzl-

arom ic that even Lucullus
would drool.
In this uncertain and imperfect
world, perfection is rare and fleet
ing. Nature provides an occa-
sional perfect moment, although
we won't go into that here since
we are writing hymn of praise
to the onion. And what the onion
achieves finally, as far as I'm con-
cerned at least, is perfection.
Remembrance of onions in
cream, past, and anticipation of
onions in cream, future, can
brighten almost any one of my
life's more depressing days. But
look, my friends, when you en-
bark on this culinary adventure,
be not impetuous. Approach it
rather with a spirit of calm, be-
cause the secret is in the gentle
ness with which the thing is
handled. First the onions must
be simmered in salted water, to
which generous dash of sugar
has also been added, for a long
time, until they are tender enough
to just barely resist falling apart.
Then they must be carefully
drained, few at a time, and put
into flat buttered baking dish.
AT this point, more salt may be
added, and sprinkling of fresh
ly ground pepper. The thickest
cream you can find should now
be poured over them, until they
are nearly immersed, the top COW
cred with buttered cracker
crumbs, and into a mild sort of
oven, to be baked for half hour
or a little longer.

The institute Is part Of the
leagues program of expand
ing job opportunities for
Negroes, as well as enabling
them to do better the jobs
they have. Because domestic
work is the largest field of
employment for Negro women
in Washington, the organiza-

wages.
Both USES and the league
are particular about using the
term household employee" in

The curriculum Is highly
detailed. It is broken down
mainly into laundry, cleaning,

laundering takes in special
knowledge of handling all
fabrics-silks, woolens, cot
tons, linens and synthetics.
It also includes the folding
and storage of all apparel and
fiatwork. There is particular
emphasis on the ironing of
sleeves, cuffs and children's
clothes.
The cleaning course devotes
attention to walls, woodwork,
furniture polishing, floors (in-
Guiding hardwood, softwood
and linoleum), the cleaning of
silver, metal and mirror pol
