II the number of telephone calls
is in any indication, every one in
Washington is party minded these
days. Must be the spring weather.
The occasions range all the way
from wedding breakfasts and bridal
showers to graduation festivities or
just spring luncheon.
For the most part, people want
refreshments zthat will not wreck
the family food budget with food
prices being What they are), but at
the same time be something differ
ent.' Another little detail they are
quite emphatic about Is that the
preparation is not too time consum-
ing. While there are few lucky
households that can boast a full
time maid. the majority of house.
wives do their own work with only
part-time help. Consequently, they
are always on the lookout for novel
ideas that will come out looking like
chef masterpieces but are really
quite simple to manage.
For a very impressive party lunch
con you might try this unusual
combination. Fold diced grapefruit
and whole blanched almonds into
lemon-favored gelatin. Serve in a
circle of overlapping avocado slices
and fill the center with marinated
crab meat. Add speedy pan rolls,
plenty Of good fragrant coffee, a
dessert If you feel it's necessary and
your menu is complete. This could
be made to look very party-ish If
made in one large ring mold, turned
out on a chop plate and served at
the table.

Cookbooks Suggested
Bv the Chef

The other book, although COM
piled by a woman, is full of che
man" recipes, many Of them do
mated by men themselves, including
some by Jim Howe, son of the ed
Howe Says" of bygone days. Mrs.
Ethel Wyman started the book when
she tried to raise funds for St.
Margaret's Church here in Wash
ington, and its collection Of tested
recipes met with the most amazing
success. Now, many organizations
are buying the little volume in
quantity to sell for charitable prof.
ects of their own. The front and
back cover design are by the IA
nous cartoonist, Cliff Bergman
of our very own Evening Star,
and there's mighty helpful table
of suggestions for church suppers,
with quantities and portions neatly
listed.
Mrs. Wyman tells a good story
about her book. 1t seems that a
high-ranking Army officer, on a re-
cent tour of Alaska, went out to
get in his dog sled to visit remote
sector-and found the driver of his
dog team reading a copy Of "St.
Margaret's Cookbook" quite happily
in a temperature of So below! So,
you see, the book gets around!

One of the prettiest buffet plat
ters we've seen in some time was
pale green ring mold made Of sieved
avocados-lots of 1t folded into a
gelatin base-and the center was
filled with luscious big pink shrimp
in a tasty dressing. The color con-
srast was especially nice for spring.
You can kill two birds with one
stone when you combine your CEN
terpiece and dessert. This Maypole
party cake does just that. Use your
own ingenuity to adapt the idea for
a number of occasions. The cake is
dressed up with whipped cream and
preserves and centered around a
miniature Maypole. The pastel rib
bons from the top of the Maypole
swing out to circle OF dancing
crepe-paper figurines and baskets of
small flowers that can conceal tiny
surprises for children's party or
favors for a bridesmaid luncheon.
The cake itself is no trick to make.
Angel food cakes can be purchased
from the grocers or bakers, and save
lot of time and work to say moth
ing of the sugar. Preserves are
also available at the grocers; you
can choose your favorite to top the
cake. The sides are frosted with
cream slightly favored and sweet
ened if you like. The decorations
shown bere are made by paper
novelty company that specializes in
gay and original party favors. How
ever. there's no law that says you
can't make your own if you have ar
tistic leanings.

Forty species of holly were shown.
There we're articles made from the
wood of holly trees. There were
various articles with holly motif,
such as hooked rugs, handpainted
neckties and jewelry. The China
collection of President C. r. Wolf
was a show stealer. Composed of
pieces with a holly pattern, the col
lection has Nationwide origin.
According to Mr.. Harry Dengler,
vice president of the Holly Society,
and extension forester for the State
of Maryland, the cutting of good
holly trees in recent years has re-
duced the stock considerably. A new
crop of trees is needed badly. And
the birth of the society comedies
nicely with the planting season.
Not only is holly useful as a
Christmas decoration, but 1t is also
very effective in landscaping. The
society hopes to further both uses.
The members will make it their
business to learn to cut holly con-
servatively, and also to learn more
about marketing it at Christmas
time There're also interested in
locating and preserving holly groves
of extraordinary beauty, and in
breeding fine holly. Some day they
hope to have a holly arboretum.
Those familiar with the history of
holly will know that there are nearly
300 different kinds of holly. and that
the tree grows all over the world.
It's versatile plant; the fine white
wood is frequently used in inlay
work.
Paradoxically, it is also used for
food. A large amount is consumed
by early spring birds, particularly
robins and bluebirds The leaves
are reported to be very high in food
value.
South Americans drink it. Mate,
a popular drink, is made from holly.
And years ago, the Indians in Vir-
ginia and down through the South
drank it, too, calling it Yaupoon.
They used to drink to purge them
selves, the story goes, and certain
rites were included In the drinking
of Yaupoon.
Holly trees, like human beings,
aren't all lovely. They vary in at
tractiveness. The male holly is the
handsomer of the two, and the fe-
male tree bears berries. At Christ
mas time, when the berries are born.
the leaves turn yellow. Holly lovers
are constantly on the alert for fe-
male trees that will bear q big crop
Of berries and still retain attractive
green leaves.
Far from being midgets in the tree
world. holly trees grow quite high.
The tallest tree in Maryland, on the
Eastern Shore, is So feet tall. 1t has
spread of AZ feet, and Is 10 inches
in circumference.
Holly lobbyists may secure further
information on the Holly Society of
America by calling Mr.. Harry Deng-
Ter at Warfield $500, extension 3ls.

What's YOUR Hobby?
Bv Betty Miles

To most of us, holly is a gay red
and green Christmas decoration,
appearing like clockwork around
December 25, along with lighted
trees and electric trains. 1t hap
pens that holly also has life of its
own, and very interesting life it is
A little over a week ago, so people
who make holly their hobby met in
Baltimore. They came from New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Virginia and the District of Colum-
bia. Their interest in putting holly
on the map resulted in the birth of
the Holly Society of America.
Everything holly-bound was dem
onstrated at the Baltimore exhibit

4 = k1xl<A = NAt MANA
From Mrs. H. S. L., Siluer SPRING.
Would you please publish this ap-
peal that people would buy, volun-
tarily, if they do not already possess
them, as requested by the sanitary
commissions, good refuse cans with
tight lids?
7 have next door neighbor who
keeps his garbage In small wash
tub without any top. It draws flies
In summer and rats all the year.
One day looked out my window to
see the little 2-year-old from across
the street investigating the contents.
He stopped, fortunately, before !
could get out doors to drag him
away. AS many rats as had been
after that tub. it is wonder that
he did not pick up some deadly
disease. but he was very fortunate
and suffered no Ill effects. I wanted
very much to report this case to the
local health department, but had !
done so would have made an enemy
of an otherwise well-willed neighbor,
and hesitated to do so.
Our fence has developed holes, so
that I cannot keep the dog In. and
getting out, he learned, from food
being in this tub, so near the
ground, to raid refuse buckets,
something which he never did be-
fore, as he had more than an ample
supply of good food at home. From
this he went to another neighbor's
where, evidently, the top had not
been put on the container. A
larger dog fished q bag of turkey
bones from that can, the two made
a feast of the bones. The fine sliv-
ers cut them internally and now our
little cocker, which was like men,
ber of the family, is dead.

CROCEETED EARRINGS.

In answer to Mrs. F. c., Takoma
Park on crocheted earrings. Buy
small bottle of chemical, commonly
called water glass. Dilute water glass
with about so per cent water, heat
and allow earring to soak until sat-
urated. Then place earring on thick
newspaper in oven of stove to dry
slowly. I used this process on lace
earrings which were sold COM
mercially. You may need to expert
ment with the relative percentages
of water and water glass for the de-
sired stiffness and also for the ef-
feet of the solution on different COL
ors. AS remember green was the
color most affected.
From Mrs. H. T. M, T1konla Pdrk.)
Crochet earrings, then glue the
flower to earring form with plastic

ply three or four coats of colorless
nail polish to obtain hard glossy
finish and to stiffen them.
