cloth to keep out dust, and put

is . few minutes to whisk the
duster around. put the flowers in
place and finish the dinner prep
arations. I usually have a whole
hour to myself before the door,
bell rings.
And that's the hour that is the
secret OF having fun at your own
parties! In it do my nails. have
leisurely bath. a short nap and.
an expert makeup. Sometimes I

EnqIish Saffron Bread

Saffron bread has long been
an English favorite. especially at
Easter time. It Is said to have
originated in the Isle Of man, and
certainly the Manx recipe for it
seems to be the one most generally
accepted.
You can get saffron at most
fancy grocery shops, or Spanish
or Italian stores, or even in drug
stores.
This is sweet bread. and you
hardly need butter with 1t, unless

According to figures published
in the Bureau OF Agricultural
Economics latest Marketing and
Transportation Situation" the
average person spent $342 for food
in 1949. This. says BAE. is 1928
more than he spent before the
war 1935-1939). OF the increase,
1924 was the result of higher
prices. The other 500 was mainly
a result of his buying larger guam
titles, turning more to higher
quality and more expensive foods,
and eating more meals out. At
first glance this figure seems low,
but broken down to a monthly
basis, means the average person
spends $3.50. This is a little
higher than the Bureau OF Human
Nutrition allots on their mod
crate cost diet and a trif1e lower
than their survey showed Of the
money spent by city families. How
does your family expenditure for
food compare with these figures?

The Chef
Sdys-

In my giddy youth, I had q
lot Of student friends IN Paris.
They were a gay. carefree lot
In the typical Paris student ira
dition; they lived In ramshackle
studios or attics. and even II they
had the means to afford some
thing decent, 1t just wasn't done.
They usually drank their meals
at nearby cafes. which didn't
make them fat and healthy, I can
assure you. So. as even In those
days I took food seriously. I used
to get three or four together at
my place, and cooked them a
students ragout" over my single
burner stove. With wonderful
French bread and sweet butter.
fruit and cheese for dessert. and
a dry red wine-inexpensive but
good-we dined like kings.
worked out a recipe for the
ragout, and it has proved q boon
to some of my friends during the
war when apartments with kitch-
ems and large stoves were hard
to come by.
Wash and peel I medium sized
potatoes and slice them thin.
Wash 2 carrots. and scrape them
then slice. Peel 4 onions and
slice them, too.
Have 2 pound Of round steak
cut thin. and slice it across the
grain into thin slivers. about half
an inch wide. This is the trick
to having the meat tender and
not Stringy.
Put u pound of sliced Cana
dian bacon in the bottom of a
large pot that has a lid. Dis
tribute the slivers of steak over
the top of the bacon, and sprinkle
with salt and black pepper. Now
in goes a layer of carrots and
onions. and then top with the po-
tatoes. More salt and pepper.
Set the pan over the heat and
cook for about 3 minutes, then
add l cup of water, and cover
the pan. Cook for about IS min
utes over a low fire-the water
should have cooked into the in
gradients to make a wonderfully
savory dish. If you want 1t even
richer. add a little bouillon. a
couple of bouillon cubes or some
meat extract.
