TheChef
\ Says

To take up where we left OF last
week on the subject Of good coffee
making, let's first discuss the Oldest
method of preparation-and per-
haps the most dificult-boiled
coffee.
With most people owning all sorts
of fancy coffee makers these days,
boiled coffee appears for the most
part only at barbecues or outdoor
grill parties. However, some old
timers still prefer to make 1t this
way at home and nothing can sway
them from their devotion.
To make four cups Of boiled
coffee, heat cups Of water to boil
ing in a kettle. While this is going
on, put about " cup of medium
ground coffee In the pot with l
tablespoon of egg white or 2 egg
shells to clear the coffee. Add "a
cup of cold water and stir until
mixed well.
Then pour the boiling water over
the coffee in the pot and set over
direct heat to boil for about 3 min
utes or until the foam can be
stirred away. Remove from direct
heat and dash in u cup OF cold
water to precipitate the grounds.
Let stand in warm place for 5
minutes to settle or else strain
through cheesecloth.
Percolated coffee is probably the
most popular in this country at the
moment. Allow 2 to 21a level table,
spoons of medium-fin grind coffee
and cup of water for each large
cup Of coffee to be served. Put the
coffee in the upper part OF the per-
colator basket and the water in the
bottom. Some people claim that
adding pinch Of salt to the coffee
is beneficial to the favor. To be
successful, the pot must be at least
half full of boiling water.
Watch the clock for the time
when the first "perk" appears and
time the coffee for or 8 minutes,
depending on how strong you like it.
The percolating should be gentle,
but steady. Before serving. remove
from the heat and permit the coffee
to settle for about 3 minutes or
more.
Filtered or drip coffee is coming
right along. adding to its adherents.
The method extracts maximum OF
flavor and a minimum amount OF
tannin-the element responsible for
coffee bitterness. There are many
types of filter and drip coffee-mak-
ers on the market and you would
be wise to follow carefully the direc-
tions that come with the one you
purchase. This same advice holds
true for vacuum m-drip coffee.
To make after-dinner coffee by
any method, remember that for
service in small cups you will need
to 4 level tablespoons of coffee to
each cup of water used. One cup
of water will just make 2 small cups
of coffee. Be sure to let the cof1ee
settle well before serving it. Iced
coffee should be made double the
ordinary strength and poured hot
over the crushed ice in tall glasses.
Straight black iced coffee Is a re-
markably refreshing drink in hot
weather, but you can make rich
and luscious concoction out OF 1t by
adding whipped cream or . scoop
Of vanilla or coffee ics cream.

You want to give q party but you
dread all the details involved, shop
ping for the food, ordering flowers,
checking linen and so on. But
wouldn't it be wonderful II you
could turn that task over into COM
petent hands and know everything
would turn out just right? There
are two charming ladies in town
who are ready to shoulder that re-
sponsibility for you. They know
good food and love to cook, and
when you run into that combination
you really have something. While
they are doing all the planning,
cooking and worrying you can en-
Joy a lovely afternoon nap and
wake up fresh as q daisy, ready
to shine at your own party.
Miss Ann Taylor, one member Of
the firm, was at one time food con-
sultant for the Litchf1eld School for
Boys at Litchfield, Conn. When
her mother, Mrs. Mary Taylor,
wrote Economy for Epicures" Ann
did the editing job. For years Ann
had the dream of owning her own
business, then the war years inter-
vened and food shortages made 1t
necessary to postpone the project.
Now that food supplies are return
ing to normal she Is ready to make
that dream a realization.
Miss Beatrice Plumer, the second
member of the firm, was overseas
with the American Red Cross Clubs
from December, 1943, to December,
1945. One of her jobs was to teach
30 Polish displaced persons in Ger
many to cook. Unable to COM
municate with each other because
of q lack of a common language,
she said the work was accomplished
mainly by gestures. With q staff
of 98 French cooks, working on field
stoves set up in tents, it was run
of-the-mill occurrence to turn out
80, 900 to 10000 doughnuts day.
Now these ladies are turning their
talents to a new type Of catering
service here in Washington. They
cater for dinner parties, buffet sup
pers, receptions, teas or cocktail
parties. Instead of preparing the
food elsewhere, they come into your
own home and take over the kiteh-
en-. They will plan the dinner or
cocktail party, as the case may be,
order the food and have 1t sent
directly to your house; or you may
do your own ordering if you prefer
1t that way. They will do every
thing in connection with the party
even supplying additional dinner
service, linen, flowers, extra silver
or glassware. They also supply serv-
ing attendants as part Of their ca
tering service.
Some Of their specialties are the
little hot croquettes made Of either
crab meat, shrimp, spinach and
sausage, lobster, chicken livers
chopped eggs with curry sauce, OF
clam meat. Cheddar cheese sticks
are another speciality Of the house;
these sticks are made like a cro-
quette- and fried in deep fat. Theil
cheese mixes are something out OF
this world. One is a combination
of aged cheddar, pickles, olives
horseradish and worcestershire
sauce. The other is q mixture o1

REMOVING WALL PAPER;
SPANISH FURNITURE.
A1A,~ <1ssi4 !


1t would be easier and less ex-
pensive not to take of the paper.
The paper will not continue to
peel if she will paint the walls with
oil paint, preferably fiat wall finish
because flaws and cracks show up
less under a dull finish, whereas
q high luster or enamel finish seem
to emphasize surface defects. Where
the paper is loose apply wall paper
paste to the wall and fatten the
paper firmly against the wall.
Even where the paper is torn OH,
the torn edges do not show up TO
the casual observer when the walls
are painted with a dull paint. Al
ter removing the paper from one
room in my home would not ad-
wise a tenant to do so because she
may find many defects in the
plaster which might be expensive
to repair, and also 1t would re-
ouire two coats of paint, first a
filler or sealer coat and then the
desired wall finish.
To the lady looking for Spanish
furniture: Last winter in Tampa,
Fla, I spent a day in Ybor City,
the Spanish or Latin section OF
Tampa. There the Latin and
Spanish decor in home furnishings
and architecture predominates, and
the furniture stores were abundant
ly stocked with Spanish furniture
and accessories from Mexico and
Latin America. A trip to Tampa
would be interesting at this time
of the year when the city will soon
stage the colorful Gasparilla pirate
celebration. Also in Tampa there
is a sort of Bowery section where
the secondhand stores are album
dainty supplied with good used pieces
of home furnishings at quite reason
able prices. 1 am sorry I cannot
remember the name of the street
but it is only five blocks from the
central shopping section OF the
city.
I appreciate the suggestion from
H. e. W., Alexandria, on how TO
seal in unfinished plastered walls
which appeared in the Star Febru-
ary IL.

Army Official Says Barrow Oil Fields
 Producing Normal

OLYMPIA, Wash.,- P)-The Washington state adjutant gen eral said last night that the Navy is striking "gushers" in one out of seven oil wells it is drilling in the arctic.
 Brig. Gen. Ensley Llewellyn, who returned from the arctic late last year, made the statement in an address at the capitol city press club.
 He said he was at liberty to reveal that Navy development of oil fields in the far north is "nor- mal."
 By normal" he said, I mean that one in every seven wells drilled is a gusher."
 The area, he added, covers 32,- 900 square miles within the Arc tic Circle, stretching out from Point Barrow, Alaska.
 Producers probably would be a better term. They are wells in which the oil comes up without having to be pumped. It is what the industry would call a normal operation, with one out of seven wells producing"
 The general declined to identi- fly the source of his information, except to say it came from relia- ble sources during his northern trip. He said it was his under standing that the information has been reported previously in oil industry publications.
