TheChef
Says

Tomorrow the humble leek
comes in for top honors at least
if there are any WelShmen pres
ent. For March l is the anni-
verSary of the death of st. David,
patron saint of Wales. and the
emblem of Wales is the leek. Ac-
cording to legend, St. David was
an nncle of King Arthur, and
the tales about him were many
and wonderful. For centuries pill
grims visited his shrine. where,
it was said, miracles occurred.
Just how the leek got connected
with st. David is a moot Ques-
tion-there being many a story
about the custom of all good
Welshmen wearing the leek on the
anniversary of the Staint's death.
But the leek's place in the history
of Wales is said to stem from the
far-of day when CadWallen, King
of Wales. prepared to lead his
troops against Edwin, King Of
Northumbria, and ordered his SOL
diers to wear leeks on their he'll
NETS to distinguish them from
the enemy. The battle was a
victory for Wales. and resulted
in the adoption of the vegetable
as the national emblem.
Shakespeare, in Henry ""
seems to imply that the custom
started at Cvecy or Poitiers. Fluel-
len says to the King -" the
Welshmen did goot service in a
garden where the leeks did grow,
wearing leeks in their Monmouth
caps; which, as your majesty
knows to this hour is all honor
padge of the service; and 1 do
believe your majesty takes no
scorn to wear the leek upon st.
Tavy's day." (St. Tavy for st.
David; later changes evolved the
nickname of "Taffy" for a Welsh
man.
Gilt leeks have been worn in
the hat on state occasions. The
crack Royal Welsh (23dD FusiliefS
used to stage big ritual on St.
David'S Day; leeks were worn on
the BUSHES; the officers gave a
party at which every one who
had never eaten a leek had to
consume one standing at the table
with one foot on chair and a
roll of drums in the background.
Maybe the Welsh people chose
the leek for their symbol simply
because they were found of it, grew
1t abundantly, and ate of 1t heart
lily. But I like best the comic
legend which tells how in the
early days the people Of Wales
were harried and harassed by
bands of orangutans, who proved
too much for them. So the Welsh
sent a call for help to England
But when the English arrived they
found it hard to tell the Welsh
from the orangutans, with disas-
trous consequences. Finally they
persuaded the Welshmen to wear
leeks, to distinguish them from
the opposition. This is the ver-
sion the Welsh themselves tell
with a sly humor that makes 1t
delightful.

ECONOMY MENUS.

(FTon Mrs. N. r., Falls ChMrchD
Mrs. s. S., Rockville, has asked
for suggestions for economy in
cooking, it may be a case of the
blind leading the blind for me
to speak up. I do sincerely ad-
mire a homemaker who is faced
with the present high prices and
yet provides plenty of fresh milk,
fresh fruit and real butter for
a family of seven. Husbands and
children enjoy good food and are
entitled to it If the budget will
stand the strain. I think it is wise
to keep them happy and healthy
day by day In small ways. There
is something so cheerful about
a large family around table en-
joying a meal together. Since
your children do not care for but
ter substitutes and the like, keep
family morale high by cutting
down on things they will miss
less.
I economic best by planning
menus ahead and shopping at
chain grocery stores. To under
stand family capacity and have
plenty of food without leftovers
helps. To save on electricity or
gas by baking a whole meal oc-
casionally instead of one item
each evening counts up in years
time. To plan soup or stew for
the day I defrost the refrigerator
gives me a thrifty feeling.
Respect the tag ends of roast
beef, the few spoonsful of drip
pings or gravy. the half cup Of
limas or peas left over. They are
the makings of a good stew. If
the beef is not adequate add
can of the beef timed in Latin
America for one of the leading
packing plants in Chicago. 1t is

amount and much less expensive
than fresh beef. 1 made a stew
out of such last week and it

Cook in the beef broth as many
diced potatoes and carrots as you
use to serve your family.
Add enough sliced onions for
flavor. Then add whatever left
over string beans. limas and peas
you have in the iceboX. Il use
as many Of the latter as either
the carrots or the potatoesD Add
a teaspoon of Worcestershire
sauce, two bay leaves. dash OF
cloves, a teaspoon Of sugar and
salt and pepper to taste. (Omit
the spices If the children do not
like highly seasoned foodD Cook
until vegetables are nearly done.
Add meat which is already tender
and simmer until the flavor is
we'll blended. Have some liquid
left in the stew. Thicken If you
like Il don't. This is a one
dish meal that is quickly and
easily made. A good crisp salad
and hard rolls are pleasant COM
panions.
Since children usually are fond
of the little Vienna SauSages, try
tucking them into a casserole of
potatoes and using that
as the main dish some evening.
I did that sometimes during the
war, when otherwise we would
have had a meatless meal, and
found it very tasty.

CHICKEN DUMPLINGS.
From B. H., Falls Church,
For Mrs. I. H., Washington:
believe this recipe for chicken
dumplings will please you. First,
1t is important that the chicken be
. fat. young hen and that it be
stewed until well done before the
dumplings are added. that the
broth be thickened to almost, not
quite, the consistency for serving.
(the dumplingS will take up a little
Of the moisture) and that the
chicken be not quite covered by
the gravy as the dumplings should
not be submerged. Any extra
gravy should be taken out to be
served separately.
Dumping recipe: cup of
-four, "a teaspoon of salt, 2 tea
spoons of baking powder and p
cup of milk. Mix thoroughly.
Drop by spoonfuls on the chicken,
cover and cook II full minutes
at a gentle boil.
The secret of lightnesS is in not
uncovering or moving the kettle
during the cooking process. This
recipe will serve three people gen.
erously.
