Ways to Better Pastry
Bv Violet Faulkner

Would you like to take the guess
work out of making tender pie
crust? You can, with the new
pie crust mix now on sale at your
local grocery store. The measuring,
Sitting and blending are all done
for you. All that is left for you to
do is pour the mix into a bowl, add
water, roll out and bake. No as
sembling of ingredients, no hoping
against-hope the crust won't be
tough and soggy. In a few simple
steps you can be sure of f1aky,
tender pastry every single time.
Versatile as your basic black dress,
this pie crust mix can top meat
dish as easily as it can be made
into pies or tarts. And it's espe-
cially wonderful for berry pies or
the fluffy ones that taste extra good
for summertime desserts. Then, of
course, there are all your old ia
vorites-apple, cherry, lemon and
pumpkin. The contents of one box
is enough to make one 2-crust pie
or two pie shells or to 8 tarts.
For a special, hurry-up dessert,
let me suggest you fill a baked pas
try shell with ready-prepared
vanilla, butterscotch or chocolate
pudding and then top with swirl
of whipped cream. It's simple and
good. The day you have the girls
in for foursome and feel in a gala
mood, here's a treat that's truly
party fare-Royal Peach Tarts.
Prepare the crust as directed,

Garlic Can Do Wonders
By the Chef

There's lot of pro-and- -connine
going on in my mail lately about
garlic. "A good many readers OBJ
ject to its use-others maintain
that a whiff improves almost any,
thing-except coffee and desserts!
The funny thing, though, is that
most of the complaints come from
men. Women are far more pro-
garlic than the members of the
stronger sex. This has rather sur
prised me, for always had assumed
garlic was a masculine preference.
So I've been looking into the
situation a bit. I find, right in
black and white, in that amusing
new book told you of, "A Man
and His Meals" by Messrs. Pratt
and Bailey, that garlic "only drives
away friends and influences people
for the worse when used in guam
tity." The authors go on to say
some strong things about garlic
breatha-but concede garlic in small
doses has been found to have ther-
apeutic value in curing animals of
colds. They do include garlic in a
few of their recipes, but In small
quantities, and not nearly so often
as l would have thought.
The most amusing discussion of
garlic I find in a chapter entitled
The Lovable, Errant Lily" in Herbs
for the sKitchen," a splendid book
by 1rma Goodrich Mazza. Taking
Evening star., 1947-06-02

off on the theme that the Lily
family's black sheep, which reeked
literally of vulgarity, was really g
brash, independent and lovable
character, she proceeds to give
us some serious facts about garlic's
gamey past and many practical sug-
gestions for its use in the present
Get the book and read the chapter
for yourself. You'll be amused anc
enlightened.
Personally, I think garlic is per-
fect-in its place. I do not hole
particularly with the use of garlic
salt. The real thing. is better, in
my opinion, but a touch of garlic
vinegar, if used with discretion, car
do wonders for an otherwise fiat
green salad. Try a few drops on
cooked spinach, or greens, too. II
really perks them up.
But for the spaghetti sauces, the
stews, the meat loaves and the
hashes-a Glove of garlic is must
in my cuisine. I like to tuck one
under the meat at the shank bone
end of leg of lamb and leave it
there during the roasting period
Garlic and lamb have a natural
affinity and this procedure lends a
wonderful SAVIOR to the meat.
Experiment with garlic cautious
ly, remembering that here Is a true
example of case when so little can
do so much to so many.

Dorothy Dix
SAYS

Dear Miss Dix: I have a brother
whom I love dearly. He has fine
small son and wife who is every
thing that any man could want in
a wife. While he was in the army,
she worked and kept the home fires
burning, cared for the baby and
waited for his return. She was true
to him in every sense of the word.
Now my brother has come home
and he is so changed that we scarce
ly know him. He seems to have no
interest in his family and spends his
time drinking and going out with
his buddies. His wife threatened to
leave him and his reply was:
There's the door" She has asked
my advice and 1 don't know what
to tell her. What would you advise
me to do? WORRIED SISTER.
Answer: Your problem is one that
| is breaking the hearts of many
others, but what to do with the
soldier who has come back from the
war totally changed by his exper-
fences nobody knows.
But on every side we see and hear
of cases like your brothers. Men
who had been devoted husbands and
fathers and who had spent their
time writing letters to their wives,
saying how they longed to be back
home again and to feel their little
childTen's arms about their necks-
upon their return brutally tell their
wives that they have lost their love
for them and refuse to live with
them any longer.
| Men whose wives, like Caesars,
have been not only above reproach,
but who have worked like slaves try
ing to make a little money so that
their husbands might have some
thing to start on when they came
