There are so many new cook
books flooding the market these
days that it is hard to find time
and space to keep up to date on
them. And I feel that this Is
important, for well-chosen Gull
nary library brings finer appre-
citation of food and the art OF
dining. A bride may we'll start oil
her bookshelf with such practical
and invaluable helps as "The Bos-
ton Cooking School Cookbook or
Irma Raumbauer's priceless Joy
of Cooking" but from this nucleus
she should develop the books that
make a point of epicurean menus
and dishes.
One such has long been a favor
ite-but nov appears in brand
new edition compiled by the
Friends of France, Inc, % East
Sixtieth street, New York City
price per copy $3.50, plus Is cents
postage. The last chapter is es-
pecially interesting, as it includes
recipes by such personalities as
Christian Dior, Ilka Chase, Lily
Pons and Salvador Dali. There
are decorations by Alajalov and
Jean Pages, plus a foreword by
that gourmet-wise gal, Mary Frost
Mabon, and a preface by Louis
Bromfleld on good eating that has
more sense to 1t than anything I
have read in a long time.

BY now you must be on the
last lap of package-wrapping. I
hope you saved all the odds and
ends of wrapping paper, particu-
larly if you used some Of the
colored aluminium foil gift paper
that's been on display this year.
Those leftover pieces make hand
some homemade ornaments that
will outshine anything you find in
the five and dime." Remember
the fashioned chains we used
to make when we were kids? Well,
use this shining paper and put to-
gether a great many rings of con-
trasting colors, you will have
colorful, sparkling chain for the
tree. To form many -colored balls,
cut circles from pasted together
gift wrap. Place several one on
top of the other, and sew together
through the center with knitting
yarn. Open out to form gay
spherical ball. Cornucopias, stock
ings and other fancy shapes to
hold candy and tiny gifts may all
be formed using pasted-together
foil wrapping. Stars, birds, angels
and bells can all be cut out to hang
on the tree. Let the children help
with the project over the week end.
They'll have q wonderful time
shipping out decorations and con-
tributing their share to make

The food of Wisconsin is
famous, and rightly so. Along
with Penn-Dutch and Michigan
Dutch cookery, it has become
firmly established in the affections
of gourmets the country over.
One man claims he has driven
more than 200 miles out Of his
way just to eat a dinner at
Mader's In Milwaukee!
One of the most popular items
is, of course, kasekuchen or cheese
cake. Real Wisconsin cheese cake
is tops in the field. and here Is
how it is made there:
Mix two cups Of fine zweiback
crumbs with u cup of sugar. a tea

The last week end but one
before the BIG day, high time
to get down to some serious plan
ming for holiday entertaining.
Why not pick this week to shop
for all the staples you think you'll
need and have that off your mind?
Do what you can in the way of
marketing, so last-minute hurries
on Christmas eve won't find you
too limp and weary to join in
on all the fun.
There will be lots of dishWash-
ing going on so check your
supply of soap powders. deter
gents and abrasives; a few extra
packages of ready mixes for rolls,
cakes, gingerbread and pastry
will never come amiss. Fats, oils,
breakfast cereals. silver polish,
crackers and nuts are still more
items you're sure to be using.
And speaking OF cereals, two of
the leading cereal companies have
come out with new package
designed to keep your morning
corn flakes as crisp and crunchy
as when they first came from the
factory. There are eight 1-ounce
packages that will be a special
boon to apartment dwellers where
storage space is always a prob
lem. The triple wrap featured
just about doubles the moisture
protection and defies the most
humid weather conditions. Am
other advantage of the improved
package is the easy-opening de-
vice. Just a slight pressure OF
your thumb opens the package
neatly and quickly.
A word about the care of your
tree. The Forest Products Labora-
tory at Madison, Wis, recommends
the water treatment for the most
satisfactory results. Cut off the
end Of the trunk diagonally at
least inch above the original
cut end. Stand the tree at once
in a container of water and keep
the water level above the cut sur
face during the entire time that
the tree is in the house. If the
tree is not to be set up for several
days, it should be kept standing
in water meanwhile in a cool
place. If started in time, this
treatment will prevent the needles

AS one Of my secretaries COM
mented after reading this letter
critical can some people
get?":: "At my child's birthday
party the favors at each little
guests place included a card on
which was written the child's
name. The children all thought
1t so much fun to hunt their
places. 1t was all very gay and
very informal. This last accounts
for the criticism of neighbor
whose child was present., who
thought that place cards at such
an informal party were ridicu-
lous. Her opinion is that only at
formal parties are they correct.
Z think it would clarity the neigh
borhood atmosphere to have your
opinion"
There was nothing incorrect
about the place cards-or even
unusual. It is entirely proper to
put place cards on. whenever they
are found convenient. and at a
child's party when the card is
attached to a little favor of some
sort, finding their names is an
amusing game as well as useful:
