With Easter only couple of
weeks away you'll be looking up your
recipes for hot cross buns to serve
on Good Friday morning. These
spicy little buns have very ancient
and honorable history; they're as
traditional to the Easter season as
the annual egg rolling on the White
House lawn.
They're feStive-wonderfu eating
and, what's more with the recipe
7 have for you, they're not hard to
make. With this new no-knead
method they are really very simple
The baking process is cut in half
just mix the dough, shape, let rise
and bake Then after the buns come
from the oven you cross each one
with icing-that's all there is to it
Except, of course, the pleasure you
get when you serve them and the
family clamors for more.
In times past, all over England
the morning of Good Friday was
ushered in with cries from the street
bun venders of Hot cross buns
There are many variations of the
chants they cried. One, for in
stance, goes like this:
One a penny, two penny
Hot c ross buns,
II you have no daushters,
Give them to your sons:
But II you have none of these merry little
elves
Then YOU may keep them all for yourselves
It was the custom for the venders
to be around early in the morning
to supply the general demand, carry
ing large baskets covered with fan
mel and white cloth to keep the buns
warm. It's said that for century
and a half Chelsea was famous for
these breakfast favorites. The his

tory of the bun goes beyond that
to the time of Cecrops, the legendary
first King Of Attica. In fact, the
Egyptians, the Greeks and the
Saxons all made a crossed bun In

power in preventing sickness or in
suring good baking throughout the
year.

To the Sea in Ships ,
By Betty Miles

Over sixty years ago the Helen Of
Baltimore" grain schooner, piled
the waves from the Eastern Shore
of Maryland to Baltimore. Without
benefit of a blueprint, John, Cap
tain Jack" Germs made q model OF
the ship. Shortly thereafter he
foresook ship building for the life
Of the land Mbber.
Forty-one years later Captain
Jack returned to the sea. This
time, he worked from printed plans
in "Ye Olde Georgetown Ship Model
Yard located behind his home. He
produced feet of 43 ships in 10
years. The graceful clipper; the
odious slave ship, the stocky tug are
part of that fleet. From his study.
Captain Jack sails the seven seas.
Rich in maritime lore, the walls
of the study are covered from floor
to ceiling with pictures connected
with sailing. There are pictures
Of innumerable ships; there is a
picture of Lord Nelson, and one Of
ship-loving Franklin Roosevelt.
There are arresting studies Of sea-
men.
Hanging in the study is an old
white lamp once used on the mast
head of a ship. A barometer that
resembles sprinkling can hangs
on the wall. The sailors were warned
Of q rising wind by the rising OF
the water in the spout. A block
from The Wanderer," an American
whaler, and bulls eye from an
other ship are also in the study. And
standing on tables and shelves, some
cased in glass, some available for
handling and examining, are the
ships of the fleet.
A penknife, glass for shaving and
sandpaper were used to create the
ships. They are built to scale, and

Good White
Sauce
n A. TLf
Bv the Chef

The average white sauce Is the
most uninteresting concoction known
to the culinary world. 1t is mainly
suggestive of wallpaper paste and
when applied to even the most
beautifully prepared food is guaran-
teed to render it uneatable.
There's no real reason for this
And because white sauce Is the base
for so many other sauces, its prep
aration should be matter of loving
care. Used alone, it is even more
important that it should enhance
the dish it adorns, rather than de-
tract from it.
White sauce always should be
made in the top of double boiler
The water underneath should be
boiling briskly. This keeps the
sauce from scorching and thereby
becoming a dirty white rather than
the snowy affair it should be. The
full amount of butter called for
must be used-otherwise, the sauce
may be lumpy. Let the butter melt
and become really hot before STIR
ring in the flour and then let the
combination cook together for as
long as 3 or 4 minutes, so that when
the scalded milk is added, the flour
is smooth as silk in the butter and
there is no risk of any Jumps what
soever. Stir constantly while you
slowly add the milk.
To make l cup of medium white
sauce, which is the one most fire.
quently used, you'll need 2 table
spoons of butter and 2 tablespoons
of flour. Let the butter get really
hot, as mentioned above, and then
stir in your flour. A cup of scalded
milk is added and, at the very last,
season to taste with salt, pepper
and paprika.
A thin white sauce calls for only
tablespoon butter and l table
spoon -four to cup scalded milk
The procedure is the same. Thick
white sauce, also made the same
way, calls for 8 tablespoons OF butter
and 3 of flour to ] cup scalded milk.
From then on, you can vary your
sauce to suit yourself. You can add
to it chopped mushrooms, pimentos,
olives, chives. parsley-to fit the
case. You can vary its favor with
celery salt, worcestershire sauce,
onion salt, mustard and so on.
From medium white sauce
springs the famous Bechamel, but
vou omit Il GIN of milk and subSti-
tute y cup chicken stock. In We
loute Sauce, all milk is replaced by
chicken stock. Sauce Allemande is
made like Veloute, only just before
serving a teaspoon of lemon juice is
added and the sauce is poured over
/ well-beaten egg yolk and mixed
we'll A simple cream sauce is made
like medium white sauce, only thin
cream is used instead of milk.

are largely reproductions Of ships
that once existed.
THE Flying Cloud" Is q clipper.
Its rigging runs up the mast, taut
as violin string. On its deck are
barrels and buckets and skeins Of
rope. The American SLAYER is built,
as was the original, with an un-
believably small space provided for
the slaves quarters. The sloop
Spray" spreads a mammoth sail.
It's patterned after a privately
owned pleasure yacht.
Among the fleet are the May.
flower" and the Constitution" tOld
Ironsides). The first Lexington,
built in TITS. man O. war is an
ancestor Of the Lexington" of Coral
Sea fame. Admiral Farragut's flag
ship, the Hartford" is protected by
cannons and small, hand carved
life boats hang over the side
More concerned with the ways Of
the bass and the cod are the fishing
schooners. The Ann Blaine" is
American, the BLUE Nose" is
Canadian. A small whale boat, sent
by the mother ship in search of the
local Moby Dick, boasts six oars. q
harpoon and other weapons used to
conquer the sea giant.
Captain Jack tells Of the tales and
traditions of the sea. He tells of
Captain E. Armitage McCann. the
man who spanked the building OF
lnl hi L.
ing blueprints and information to
builders. He tells of the hazards OF
early seamen and of naval tradition.
The sea and Captain Jack are well
acquainted. But he has never sailed
beyond Chesapeake Bay!

COURTESY" OTHER SIDE.
from C. M. c., Washington.)
In reply to request for courtesy
from clerks in department stores by
pressure OF public opinion" may
suggest the customers extend thu
clerks the same courtesy they de.
mand.
I have worked all Of my life with
the public, and for the first time an
clerking in a local department store
am seeing for the first time how
rude too many people are when al
they have to do is practice wha1
they preach.
Would you rudely interrupt
neighbor who is talking to another
neighbor without excusing yourself
Well, the dear public does. If yol
are closing a sale it Is a favorite
pastime of some women to butt ir
and say the merchandise is no good
as Mrs. So and So bought one anc
it didn't work satisfactorily. When
all the time Mrs. So and So didn't
understand the proper way to use
said merchandise. or course, the
sale is killed. Then there are the
ones who don't know what they
want or who are "just locking,
asking a thousand questions while
keeping one eye on the down" ele-
vator, when the clerk could be
waiting on some one who intends tt
buy. And there are those who in
dignantly insist that the clerk ha!
some scarce item hidden away, saw
ing it for a special customer.
Courtesy demands courtesy, re.
spect demands respect, and no clerk
would let customer have more
respect or courtesy than they.
