CHINESE RECIPES:
TUBEROUS BENGONIAS.
(Fron, II, j., WASHINGTON }

(From II. j., WGShingtOn)
A small compact recipe book for
Chinese dishes may be obtained
for Is cents at the Chinese restau-
rant, on G street at First street
NV.
About 6 months ago one of the
home magazines, Better Homes
and Gardens or American Home,
carried a complete article on the
subject tuberous bigonias. If the
questioner will look in the Readers
Guide to Periodical Literature on
the subject, she will find it with
no trouble. If she is unable to
60 to the library, a telephone call
to the reference section of the
Public Library, MA. 6776, will
bring the information. The mag
azine could then be obtained from
the publisher.
Can any one tell me the name,
and a few facts about a type Of
flower that grows entirely without
water?
I'd like to pass on a tip, given
me by German landlord, which
eliminates the scrubbing ordeal
when a pan is badly scorched or
burned. Let the pan soak over
night. then dry overnight. The
burned material will curl right
off the pan. Sometimes it is neces-
sary to repeat the process two or
three times, however.
I'd also like to join in the praise
Of RICH and like many readers
would like to see it larger, and ap-
pearing every day.

For Mrs. c. P. De G.. Washing

Chase: Mrs. c. P. De G.'s article
concerning the myrtle plant ap-
peared while my mother was visit
ing here and was most interesting
to her as she was we'll acquainted
with it when living in Germany.
She has had several plants for a
number of years and offered to
send cuttings for you ladies if her
one remaining plant survived the
drought on Long Island, where she
lives.
Requests: would appreciate a
recipe for persimmon pudding as
it is made in the Piedmont section
of North Carolina. Actually, to
me, it looks like a large layer cake
with icing. The recipe given to
me was in approximate amounts,
which resulted in a heavy, moist
cake, although the flavor suited
my husband, who is very fond of
it. Would also appreciate any
other recipes familiar in that area,
one being country friend steak.
Does any one have a recipe for
a layer cake which requires a
mixing time of / hour? My
mother having made it when in
Germany, for special occasions,
would like one, as the flavor was
unsurpassed.

Is there one among the readers

trying to make a volunteer choir

small church has a very promising

any one interested that this would

until the consistency is just right
for fudge.
When I heard that approx
mately 1000 members of the Ma
tional Association of Food Chains
were due to descend on our city
this week I thought it would be
interesting to get their viewpoint
on the >present-day trends in food
buying. Since women do most of
the buying. let's see WHAT they
buy.
The number one trend seems
to be toward frozen foods with
particular emphasis on orange
juice. Frozen coffee, it seems, is
getting quite play from the
housewife, too. Trend number
two is the pre-packaging of self
service meats. This permits the
shopper to take her time in select
ing the cut she wants without the
psychological pressure of butcher
and on-looker. The operator saves
no money in the switch to this
plan since the cut down on per-
sonnel is offset by the cost of pre-
packaging. Then there's tend
ency now toward the buying of
those green vegetables which
women once insisted on being
white. such as lettuce, celery and
cabbage. Next in order is the
swing to buying packaged fresh
vegetables, tomatoes for instance,
under clean cellophane wrapping.
Spinach and kale in pliotilm bags,
ready to pop into the kettle, also
come under this class. And, last
but by no means least. women
