The tomato is. perhaps, one OF
the most useful and versatile of all
the vegetables. 1t may be cooked
in so many ways; it may be used
cold in an equal number. The
simplest of all is-as is often the
case-one of the best. Simply slice
the tomatoes fairly thick and put
them in a bowl with plenty of tar
ragon vinegar, basil. thyme. salt
and black pepper. Set them in the
refrigerator to chill for several
hours before serving.
The tomato really shines as a
ease" to hold other foods. 1t you
want to serve baked stuffed toma-
toes, do the baking in muffin tins to
keep the tomatoes from bursting
and losing shape. If cold. scoop
them out, salt them inside and in
vert them to drain for about an
hour before stuffing them.
Stuffngs are legion. Cold toma-
toes may be stuffed with piping
hot scrambled eggs mixed with
chopped chives. Sardines (boned,
skinned and mashedD mixed with
crisp bacon crumbs. a little an
chovy paste, all moistened with
cream. are good too. Try putting
your Waldorf salad in tomato
cups. Bean sprouts, raw cauli-
flower flowerets. diced cucumber
and chopped green pepper, dressed
with Russian dressing. make an
unusual starter for a meal.
like to put drained baked beans
mixed with minced onion and
pickle and the scooped out tomato
pulp into tomato cups and dress
with a horseradish cream dress
ing. Sometimes a dash of chutney
is added for more pronounced
flavor.
Any shellfsh salad can be served
in tomatoes. Lobster. shrimp. crab
meat or raw Scallops should be
sprinkled with lemon Juice and
dressed with very lemony may
onnaise. Cottage cheese Is a ia
vorite filling-it should be well
popped up with cayenne, chives,
salt and pepper. Cream cheese is
also good, mixed with the tomato
pulp and seasoned with slug OF
horseradish
Your pet chicken or potato salad
goes fine as tomato stuffing and
often leftover meats, such as ham,
tongue, ETC., maye be used. after
being mixed with vinagrette dress
ing.
For hot tomato cases, try
creamed mushrooms or rice that
has been mixed with tomato pulp.
Almost any ground meat, creamed
fish or vegetables can be used. 1t

toes, when filled, with bread
crumbs grated cheese to get a

A February luncheon for "the
girls" calls for a luncheon done up
in red and white. In fact, Valen-
tines Day Is the perfect time to
give a shower for the engaged girl
in your crowd. Even II your bud
get is still recuperating from the
collapse it suffered at Christmas,
and is just beginning to return to
it's normal status, don't let that
stop you from taking advantage
of this made-to order day of ro-
nance for entertaining soon-to-
be bride.
A kitchen or miscellaneous
shower is good for now. 1t you
keep within those two classical
tions, every one should be able to
find desirable gifts without dan

be attractive and satisfying. In
stead of a luncheon. why not
have tea party with plenty OF hot
tea and LOTS of dainty sand
wiches? What could create a bet
ter atmosphere of complete in
formality, conducive to good
"gab fest" fairly dripping with
fashioned hearts and flowers?
And, by the way, why not let
your plans include having the girls
beaux pick them UP at your house?
You might even go a step further
and arrange TO have little enter
tainment after the boys arrive.
Something that will be in the mood
of the day, of course. AS a sugges-
ton you might hang a large red
heart made from heavy paper IN
the center of the room, through
a hole in the center OF which
thread half as many long lengths
Of twine or ribbon as there are
guests, being careful not to tan
gle them. Each girl takes hold OF
the end of one of the lengths OF
twine on one side of the heart and
the men do the same on the other
side of the heart. At a signal they
all pull taut the pieces of string or
ribbon, tearing the paper heart, so
the lengths of ribbon are freed. and
each player can discover what girl
or man is on the other end of his
or her string. These now become
partners for the final flip of your
tea party. If the girls had their
tea and sandwiches earlier. now Is
the time for you to trot out tray
of desserts appropriate to the oc-
casion. What could be more fit

flowers party than delicious little

variety appeared in America. hav.
ing been first introduced In Eng.
land. In the 1830s q second COM
mercial advance came in the pro-
duction Of the valentine. English
manufacturer made sheets Of
paper with beautifully embossed
borders. "Paste-on" flowers. Gu
pids, hearts, doves. etc. sold for
this purpose. were also added to
the decoration. Fine lace papers
so delicate in design and expert
workmanship that they resembled
real lace, succeeded the embossed
papers. Usually these lace-bor-
dered folders. with white satin
centers, were purchased without
other decoration, for by now hun
dreds known as "built-up" valen-
tines, were manufactured. These
came to be known as "built-up"
valentines, for the sender usually
put layer after layer Of these
paste -ons" on the cards to make
an elaborate design. Between 1910
and 1860, when valentines of this
kind were made, is considered the
golden age Of valentines. Mansell,
Dobbs & Kershaw are the English
paper makers credited with the
finest of these lace paper Valen-
tines. 1t was Mansell's lace valen-
tine dated 1840, which was repro
duced in 1885 and used for the
coronation menu of King George
vi and Queen Elizabeth, the royal
arms replacing the design in the
center panel.
With the late Victorian era laces
became coarse, colorS became
harsh and the valentines were as
over-decorated as the parlors of
that day. Silks, satins. velvets,
gold lace paper, feathers, even
locks of hair might be found on
just one valentine. Cupid has
changed his styles over the years
and now valentines, like old silver
and glass, are collectors items.
