Last week we mentioned the
rather prosaic but tasty little Jeru-
salem artichokes. Today let's talk
about the real French" or Globe
artichoke and maybe unravel the
mystery that many still feel sur
rounds the manner of its consump-
tion.
These artichokes have bit OF
history, too-or rather legend-to
amuse you. It is said that in an
cient times there lived on an island
in the Aegean Sea maiden named
Cinara. She was so beautiful that
she angered one of the less glamor-
GUS goddesses, who changed her into
an artichoke. The island on which
she lived took the name OF Cynara
and became famous for its cultiva-
tion of artichokes. These were not
highly thought of by the olden
Greeks and Romans, however, and 1t

The Chef Says

only became a matter of epicurean
interest about 1473 in Venice,
whence it Travelled to England and
France to become sought-after
delicacy.
In buying, look for artichokes with
smooth, pale green leaves and
preferably long. cone-shaped heads.
Allow one per person as a rule.
Wash well under running water, re-
move heavy outside bottom leaves
and trim stem to half-inch stub.
Have ready a kettle of salted, boil
ing water. Put in the artichokes
and weight them down with a plate
to keep them from floating. Boil 30
10 As minutes, depending upon size
and relative youth of the heads.
When the bottoms are pierced easily
with a fork, they are done. Drain
them upside down and cut stub off
even with bottom. Trim too thorny
tops If needed. Stand them up
right ON plates and pass melted but
ter or Hollandaise sauce in sep
arate dish.
To eat the artichokes with your
fingers, pull off leaves from the
lower outside, one at a time, dip
the end that was attached to the
artichoke into the butter or sauce
and scrape just that end between
the front teeth. Set the remaining
leaf to one side, neatly, on the plate
and take another. When you get to
the middle, you can remove the
final whitish thin leaves. Beneath
them you will find cone-shaped
mass of fiber which is the choke"
Remove this carefully, with q sharp
fruit knife, being careful not to
waste too much of the heart" be-
meath, as that is the best part Of
all Cut this heart in pieces with
your knife and fork and with your
fork dip these Into the sauce and
eat.
Artichokes may be served cold
this way, with mayonnaise mixed
with lemon juice or they may be
stuffed with crab meat or what
ever you like after the center and
choke first have been removed in
the kitchen.

MIXING PAINT COLORS?

From Mrs. L. d. W., Washington.j ]
Could some one tell me where
could purchase a book of hints
about mixing paint colors (cold
water type)? I am redecorating
my apartment and would like to use
some deep colors instead of the
pastel colors. Also would like some
color combinations for using diff
ferent colors in same room.e For
instance, I have long hall which
would like to give wider ap-
pearance Have bay windows in
living room and wonder If I could
use two tones of color or two cor
responding colors.
HOLES IN CEMENT
From Mrs. w. C. P, Washington
For Mrs. j. M: Perhaps this would
help you. Get tube of adhesive
paste. This can be bought in a S
and 10 for Is cents tube.
Fill your nail holes with this
cement and insert rod holders (do
not put rods in until cement is dry.
I would wait two or three days.,
I had clothesline hook that
would not stay put. The hole was
too large to hold the hook so I filled
the hole with this paste. That was
two months ago and the hook is
still firmly in place.

THANK YOU" NOTE.
From Mrs. N. C. D., AleTdndria.)
I don't know the contributors ini-
tials, but I certainly do want to
express my grateful appreciation
to the person who suggested the
poison paste for killing reaches.
After having tried special roach
powders, D. D. T., cucumber peel,
and anything else that was sug-
gested, we tried the paste. 1t actu-
ally worked, and the reaches had
been about to carry us away.
In case other readers are inter-
ested, the paste, in tube, for rats
and reaches, is sold in chain drug
store I hope the others will try it
and be as enthusiastic over 1t as
am. Again, my many thanks go
to the one who suggested it.

takes very little. would suggest
that you either use wooden paddle
(popsicle stick Or something of the
sort) to spread the paint very lightly
over the hand, just skimming the
surface, or better still, spread thin
layer of paint on a reasonably fiat
surface such as fiat dish or piece
of window glass. Press the hand

BREED OF DOG.

From L. X, Falls church,
This is for the T. B. c., Chevy
Chase, the matter of a dog. I'd like
to put in my two cents worth for
just plain dog. I've had experience
with Police dogs, Collies, Cookers,
Hounds and "Peke," and I'll take
a mixed breed any day. Many vets
will agree with me, too. My dog is
a mixture of collie, hound and
terrier. Sounds awful, but you'd be
surprised the compliments receive
on his beauty. BY all means get
your dog as puppy. I got mine
when he was six weeks old.

A discovery recently made at our
house is that the humble dried
apricot does wonders in making an
epicurean affair of plain shin Of
beef. So we give you-SHIN OF
BEEF WITH APRICoTs.
Wash the apricots and soak them
overnight in water to cover. We used
about a cupful.
Buy 3 pounds Of shin of beef In
one piece and wipe it well. Brown
it in hot fat, then remove it and
brown 2 tablespoons of flour in the
fat, of which there should be about
3 tablespoons. Add slowly cups of
liquid - the water in which the
apricots were soaked, and extra
water to fill the amount. Bring to
boiling point, stirring all the time
Season with salt and pepper.
Now put the meat back in the
liquid, together with the apricots.
Cover and simmer for two or three
hours until the meat is tender.
Serve with the apricots and gravy.
Here's a fine addition to the
youngsters or fathers lunchbox-
and equally good for an afternoon
snack with a glass of milk. OAT-

all its own which is welcomed by

one hour should do the trick.

An attractive salad bowl arrange

PIE TROUBLE?
From Mrs. V. M, Woodbridge.)
Can some reader help me to pre-
vent liquid oozing from my lemon
and custard pies? They are fine the
first day but when servings have
been cut and the rest is placed In
the icebox overnight liquid covers
the empty part of the pie pan and
makes the crust soggy. Would more
thickening help? Is it caused by
the meringue? I have the same
trouble with a graham cracker crust
pie that I fill with butterscotch pud-
ding (packaged) which I thicken
with 2 egg yolks and cover with
meringue. Perhaps icebox is not
cold enough? What's wrong?

VIEWS REQUESTED?

From Mrs. r. A., Washington.)
We would be interested in hearing
the views of the ladies of the RICH,
my chum and I, on the following
matter: Housework When some
one is in the house, say the husband
is home sick with cold, does not
have much to say, gives no help at
all, yet the wife will do housework
with vim and vigor and enjoy it,
get all the necessary tasks done with
enjoyment and additional tasks as
we'll.
Yet, when all are gone to school
and work, the wife drags around,
getting things done only because
they have to be done.
If company is coming, the wife
will hustle with the housework. Only
these occasions. Why is this, and
what should one do about it?
If it is true that one should do
ones housework tuned to the in
dividual temperament of the house.
wife, how would one do it in this
case?

INSECTS.

From Mrs. v. M, Woodbridge.)
Mrs. j. M. Of Hyattsville. Those
small insects which look like ants
and have white wings are termites.
You'll have to get help quickly and
find where the damage is being done
to your home and to stop it. This
is the time of year that the finding
of wings and winged ants is the tell
tale evidence of the presence of
termites.

y teaspoon salt, cup sifted flour, l
cup milk, eggs. Beat until evenly
mixed and then pour in hot buttered
custard cups. This makes cups not
over "a full. At 20 minutes the pop
overs have popped; at Is minutes
they are beginning to brown and at
IS minutes they are burned. I sug-
gest taking them out at 80 minutes.
The principal differences between
this recipe and yours seems to be
that you mixed the shortening in
your batter, used muffin tins and
not custard cups and filled your tins
more than 70 full. Maybe these diff
ferences accounted for your bad
luck.

PAINT FOR BLOCK PRINTING?
From L. F. NJ, Arlngton.)
The only textile paint which I
have found to be satisfactory for
block printing is a mixture of white
printers ink available at printers
supply house, and pigment in oil
available at most paint departments
or art supply stores. Enough should
be mixed at one time to print every
thing desired that color since it is
difficult to match. If it is not all
used at once the leftover paint
can be kept for some time by putting
it in cup or glass and covering it
with water.
