the remaining sauce from the cas-
serole over all.
Instead of the mixed vegetables,
you can cook the pigeons with to-
matoes or with sauerkraut-omitting
the red wine, of course. A friend
of mine cooks squads in this man
ner, surrounded by sweet corn and
baby lima beans, with chopped
green pepper.
If you are the proud posseSSor
of large Jumbo squads, you alsc may
roast them whole and serve them
on slices of buttered toast with lot
of currant jelly poured over all.
But if the squads are small, split
them down the back. rub them
with butter if you can spare it, and
broil them under moderately hot
broiler for Is minutes. Then salt
and pepper them and serve them
with grape or current jelly. Don't
let them dry out during the broiling
keep basting them with the drip
pings from the pan.
SeedlesS grapes are delicious
heated in a very little water with
a spoonful of chopped mint and
served hot with broiled squads. An
other trick is to saute the split
SQUAD in pan with little fat. Salt
and pepper them. Shred some cab
bage very fine. cook it in boiling
water, drain, season, mix with some
sour cream and use 1t as a bed on
which to serve the squads on q big
platter. ...

The Chef Saws

An old friend of mine in Maine,
where Holsters are LOBSTERS, in
sists that only male COOK can do
them proper justice. I'm not stick
ing my neck out one way or the
other, but I'll give you two OF his
pet recipes and you can decide for
yourself
First, there's a curry Of lobster.
For this you will need about lob
sters for the average party. Boil
them for five minutes in sailed
water. Then drain them, let them
cool a bit and take out the meat
and don't overlook the claws. Cut
all the meat into as neat cubes as
YOU can. Melt about 4 tablespoons
of butter or margarine in pan and
fry the lobster meat in this for five
minutes. Then add tablespoons of
curry powder, 2 teaspoons minced
spring onions, and = cup of dry
white wine. CThis can be omitted
use a little chicken stock instead, II
you wisho
Let all cook five minutes. Then put
in peeled crushed tomatoes, a tea
spoon of minced parsley, salt and
pepper. Cover the pan and COOK
for about IS minutes, until blended
well. Serve very hot with steamed
rice.
The second gem calls for 6 very

CLASSES STARTING.

large mushrooms caps broiled unoer
a moderate flame, top side first.
After five minutes, the mushrooms
are turned and into the cavity goes
a bit of butter. Broil 4 minutes
longer.
In a saucepan, blend tablespoons
olive oil with 4 tablespoons of flour.
When it bubbles, add salt, pepper
and 2 cups of clam broth. Bring to
a boil and then simmer for about
five minutes. Add the coral OF one
lobster, pounded, and a cup OF
cooked lobster meat, chopped. Fill
the mushroom caps with this mix
ture, arrange on a platter and serve
with the rest of the sauce. In days
of plenty, one would set the mush-
rooms on rounds of toast, sauteed
in butter. A final squeeze OF lemon
Juice and a sprinkling OF chopped
parsley adds interest.
And If you serve lobster salad,
do take another tip from my friend.
Cut the meat in sizeable chunks
don't shred or chop it. Serve 1t
without celery, but with little cup
hard-cooked egg and some chopped
cucumber. Dress it with a very thin
mayonnaise. Use a good seafood
sauce and lemon Juice to bring 1t
to the right sharpness and con-
sistency. And that is a lobster
salad as it should be!
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1948-09-23

SQUAD and pigeon, if you buy them
from a poultry dealer, usually cost
a pretty penny. If you have dove
cote of your own, however, or have
friend who raises pigeons, you
probably can get bird or two at
very little expense And, If so, you
are fortunate, for both pigeon and
suuab rate among the dellcacles
most liked by the gourmets OF the
world.
Pigeons generally need long slow
cooking and plenty Of seasoning.
They should be singed, cleaned,
drawn and then stuffed with wild
rice (if you have it,, some stalks
of celery and a small onion or TWO
stuck with cloves.
Heat some fat in a casserole ana
brown the pigeons all over in this.
Salt and pepper them and pour
over them cup OF dry RED WINE OF
the claret type. Cover the casserole
and bake in the oven for an hour.
Take the casserole out OF the
oven and put into it some small
peeled white onions, a few diced
carrots, some diced turnips and a
couple of pounds of shelled peas.
Pour over all another cup of wine
and put the covered casserole back
into the oven for another hour and
half. They should barely simmer.
Arrange the pigeons on a platter,
with the vegetables around them,
sailing and peppering the latter to
taste Just before serving. Pour

Heigh-ho, come to the fair .
Where? The old-fashi med coun-
TRY fair over In Falls Church this
week end, the proceeds to 60 to the
public park fund. Thereu be pa
rades, contests, games, exhibits, food
sales, tour of old homes and a
pageant.
The festival opens at noon on
Friday with q parade of school
lchildren to the exhibit area where
the Virginia village is located.
There you will see replicas of old
buildings, landmarks of the village
built around the old church by the
falls. Perrygo's Ice Cream Parlor,
the Star Tavern, the Toll Gate Inn,
the barber shop, the Trading Post,
the Doll and Candy Shop and the
Old Notion Shop will be reproduced
for the occasion.
Perrygo's Ice Cream Parlor played
AN important part of the towns
social life In the early days. All
the young gentlemen would take
their "best girls" for a dish of home
made ice cream IF and WHEN their
Intentions were serious.
The Star Tavern, built around
1850, was one Of the most important
ediflces Of those times. The stage
coach made a scheduled stop there
on its way from Leesburg to Alex
andria. In an earlier tavern Q755),
old records show that for q nights
lodging with clean sheets traveller
paid six pence, without the sheets
no charge was made. Outside the
tavern was a tall pole on top of
which was the star. 1t was made
of green bottle glass that caught
the rays of the sun and at night
was lighted with a candle. Far up
the road travellers could see the
| light of the star telling them that
the tavern was near.
Beginning at noon on Saturday
the Trading Post will be the scene
of the Food Fair and Flower Show,
and during the afternoon all kinds
Of white elephants" will come
under the auctioneer's hammer. The
third and final day of the festival
will feature tour of old homes. On
Sunday night, as fitting climax
to the three-day fair, there is to
be musical-drama enacted by local
talent depicting the history of
Falls Church from 1908 up to the
present.
Falls Church ladies who are
working on the Food Fair have
contributed many fine old recipes
and have unearthed some really
fascinating facts about food in
those days. The recipes include
ones such as these: Rose geranium
jelly, Virginia style pecan pie, Falls
Church spoon bread and syllabub.
To make the jelly you first have to
brew a tea of geranium leaves and
proceed from there. The ladies
have brought the recipe up-to-date
and revised it to use cur modern

EYEGLASSES.

from Miss r., ArltngtOn.)
Recently there has been discus
sion of the wearing of eyeglasses,
prompted by one little girl who was
teasing her mother for pair. Then
there was one reply by 17-year-old
high school girl who, being COM
PEELED to wear them of necessity,
found them a nuisance. 1t is Won
derful how this girl entered into ae-
Invites even though she had this
handicap.
In my own case, having to wear
glasses since the first grade, being
extremely myopic, the lenses became
progressively thicker until by the
eighth grade they were very heavy
and at their present strength, which
| I have worn now for many years.
A myopic lens distortS the eye, and
consequently the other features
badly, making a complete change in
a persons face, and decidedly not
for the better.
These glasses were and are a great
boon to me, enabling me to enjoy
better the beauties of nature, the
lovely. changing skies, the earth's
wonders, which otherwise would be
an indistinct and indistinguishable
blur. Also, they enabled me to keep
up with classes through II grades
of school and some college. How
ever, I was never able to see the
blackboard, even so. Teachers and
girl classmate usually wrote the
material on a separate paper and
gave it to me. And after schooling,
the glasses enabled me to earn a
good salary.
On the other hand, the tension
created through wearing them all
through girlhood and on and one,
through my knowing that unham-
pered I had a passable face, but
with these lenses grotesque or
funny one, caused much nervous
ness and keen suffering. Such a
one Is in a real spot. There are
many or most things they cannot do
without them, and socially, many
things they are not able to do with
them, and for recreation, many
things they cannot do either with or
without them. Shyness, seeming
unsociability, inferior feelings and
even neurosis often results. This is
borne out by the fact that so many
myopic girls (and young mem try

day pectin. I doubt if the ladies Of
that earlier era knew there was
such a thing, but struggled along
making jelly the hard way. In the
old records they found recipe for
q tasty" dish, using potatoes, that
sounds like nothing you've ever
heard about before or since. Ap-
parently potatoes were not the pop
ular food they are today and it was
considered very fashionable to cook
them with butter, sugar, grape juice,
mixed with dates, lemons, mace and
seasoned with cinnamon. nutmeg
and pepper. If that didn't disguise
the poor potato, certainly nothing
would. What conglomeration!
At the beginning of the Goth
century Falls Church housewives
used to go to Browns Store"
originally opened in 1883, and buy
round steak for IS cents a pound,
pork chops for II cents, bacon for
IA cents and eggs at 20 cents a
dozen, while butter cost only 26
cents q pound. It sounds almost
like q fairy story now, doesn't it, to
think food was ever that cheap. 1t
was after the first World War that
the term H. c. L. came into use.
Today's market front: The out
standing fruit buys this week are
grapes and apples. Prewar prices
on grapes, I'm told. Several people
have called to ask If I've seen any
crab apples in my tours of the
markets. Well, did this week. As
you know they are in season for a
very short time, so If you still want
some for jelly or for spiced pickles,
better get them right away. The
quality of the ones I saw was very
good, no worm spots and nice size
for picking. The pink-meated
Rocky Fords from Colorado are in,
too, and they're selling at good
reasonable price. Still some Italian
plums about and damsons seem
more plentiful this week. The
vegetable situation hasn't changed
materially since my last report.
Excellent variety for fall menus,
when we feel that heartier meals
are in order. Just to refresh your
mind when you're making out the
list look for: Green and lima beans,
broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cabbage,
potatoes, sweet potatoes, celery,
cauliflower, lettuce, carrots. onions,
peppers, salad and cooking greens
of all kinds.
