TYPES OF CHINA.

(From Mrs. O. M. c., Washington.)
To Mrs. A. R. B., Washington:
Regarding your inquiry in RICH
about types of china to 60 with
the pattern you have, namely,
rosebud wreath with a band of
gold around the edge, I wonder
if you would be interested in see
ing a set that I have alog those
lines. It is Limoge China, brought
back at the close of the First
World War and at that time there
were three patterns with the
rosebud made in France by the
Limoge people. While on a trip to
Canada one time I supplemented
my set with some Of the other
patterns which match very nicely.

YELLOW AFRICAN VIOLETS?
(Fronl Mrs. A. B. A., Alexandria,
I hear vaguely now and then of
a yellow African violet. Have any
of the readers actually seen a
yellow one or know positively
there is such a color?
I am new resident of this part
of the country and I enjoy read

of the mold and you will have q
delicately crisp top above the
creamy interior.
A basic souffle recipe reads like
this:
Melt tablespoons of butter in a
pan, add l tablespoon of flour and
let cook to a golden color. Add
y cup of scalded milk and a tea
spoon of vanilla. Cook and stir
constantly until it starts to thick
en- and then keep on cooking with
an occasional stir for minutes.
Beat egg yolks until foamy with
3 tablespoons of sugar and COM
bine with the milk mixture. Beat
the egg whites as suggested above,
using the sugar toward the end.
Fold in carefully, cutting through
lightly. Pour into your buttered
and sugared dish or mold and
bake in a hot oven (425 degrees)
for Is to 20 minutes.
The main thing with souffles is
to serve them Immediately upon
taking them from the oven. That
is where the temperament comes
in-they wait for no manor
woman.

Basic Recipe for Souff|e

Souf1es are, roughly, of two
kinds-there are the savory ones
that may be eaten as first course
or an entree, or a sweet type to
be served as dessert.
The only trick about making
soufles is to beat the egg yolks
until they are light and foamy,
and add them to whatever puree
base you have selected. Then the
whites are beaten until stiff, but
not dry. To prevent this, add
just a little sugar when they are
starting to form peaks, and beat
only to the glistening stage. Then
they should be Enthusiastically
cut-into the mixture. turning all
over with the lightest of touches,
so that the beaten-in air will not
escape. Stirring is fatal.
If you are making a sweet
soufle, butter the mold and
sprinkle the sides with a little
sugar, which will form thin crust
and prevent the souffle from stick
ing to the mold. Fifteen or 20
minutes in a hot oven will puff
it up several inches above the top

ELECTRIC DISHWASHER.
SWIMMING POOL?

(From V. w. G., SilDer SpringD
I have an electric dishwasher
and say most emphatically, get
one. also have the disposal and
think it's the greatest time and
mess saver in the world. I have
the automatic washer and 30
gallon tank. Plus this, three very
small children.
Immediately after breakfast,
scrape dishes and let garbage go
down the drain and then pack in
washer. Messy pans Zones with
scrambled eggs. etc. I first go over
lightly with a scratcher before
packing. Then forget the dishes
and run my usual two to three
loads of clothes through the auto
matte washer.
After lunch I scrape and pack
luncheon dishes and press the but
ton. Presto. it's that simple.
Then I do the dinner dashes,
generally pressing the button as
we go upstairs to bed, because the
machine is noisy and like a little
peace and quiet after the children
are in bed.
have the one that has the
front opening because I need the
counter space. It's over year old
now and it's been repaired only
once. and that time was within

TRAVEL.

(From Miss EMS. WashingtonJ
In making reservations at
YWCAs while travelling, I would
suggest that plenty of confirma-
ton be insisted upon.
During the war I considered !
had a reservation in Charleston,
S. c., and had sent a check. Upon
arriving near midnight, was re-
ceived with the utmost frigidity
and told they had never heard OF
me. 1t was impossible to get a
room in a hotel and soldiers and
sailors roaming the streets were
more or less annoying. OF course,
the check was found the next day
stored away in a drawer.
In travelling by bus, I believe it
is we'll to keep a check on ones
baggage to see that it is travelling
on the same bus.
I should like to know of suit
able crease resistant materials
for clothes for summer travel in
Europe and If it would be pos
sible to use small iron in English
hotels?

(Fron E. M. H., Washington.J


To Miss v. D. McC.: read your
column in the RICH recently and
perhaps can be of a little help
to you in your contemplated trip
to the West Coast and Mexico
the middle of April.
It is wise to take a suit as it is
cool out in the mountain regions,
also for San Francisco, and the
idea Of a plastic overtime
shoulder bag is a very good idea
since you can pack your good
purse and handbags in your suit
case for use when you have stop
over in the various cities ,en
route. Also. your idea of plastic
cosmetic bottles and jars is ex-
cellent since they are light to
carry. Since you are going to
southern cities as we'll as north
ern places such as Seattle and
Yellowstone National Park, it is
well to take some summer cotton
dresses for wear in the northern
places. A dark blue or black
crepe is advisable. Then. with
the suit and a top coat you will
be sufficiently warm. I would ad-
wise taking the travel iron, too.
Never having stopped at
YWCAs, I cannot give any infor.
nation on them. but they are
usually downtown in location, and
they are cheaper than the hotels
of course. I think they would be
very nice especially when one is
travelling alone.

Leeman Hits Trade Board
In Home Rule Fight

Herbert P. Leeman, president OF

Board of Trade of trying to keep
District residents from having any
say in the management of the

Mr.. Leeman, speaking at meet

lands Citizens Association on the
Kefauver home rule bill, told the
group the Trade Board "dislikes
to see the matter of home rule
come into the peoples hands"
Mr.. Leeman told the group he
is also in favor of national rep
resentation in Congress but that
1t will not come until home rule
was enacted into law. He urged
the association to vote for home
rule in principle.
A motion to this effect was in
troduced at the meeting, but the
association agreed to table it un-
til next meeting.
In other business. the associa-
ton urged construction of a fully
equipped and lighted stadium and
swimming pool at Coolidge High
School.
The association also favored re-
peal of the personal property tax
except on automobiles. 1t also
asked that a five-day. 40-hour
work week for the Metropolitan,

approved.

Hopes Now Seen Dim
For Marshall Heights
Redeve|opment Plan

Supporters of the Marshall
Heights redevelopment plan had
only dim hope left today that
Congress would change it's mind
and vote funds for the long
delayed project.
The House Appropriations Com
mittee. in reporting out the bud
get bill Tuesday threatened firm
er action might mean
withholding all funds from the
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission-if the District
Commissioners "freeze order" on
physical improvements in the
Marshall Heights area is not lifted
within a reasonable time.
At the behest of NCPPC Of
ficials, Senator Sparkman. Dem
ocrat. of Alabama, has agreed to
act as Intermediary with the APP
propriations Committee.
Planning officials place the
blame for the plight of Marshall
Heights owners primarily on Con-
gress, which has refused funds
for the District Redevelopment
Agency. But it was believed the
chances of getting the Appropria-
tions Committee to reconsider its
action are slim, indeed.
Planning officials say they are
waiting to hear from Senator
Sparkman in the hope that some
way can be found out of the
impasse, on the one hand. They
also are waiting to hear from the
District commissioners whether
the only course left is to lift the
"freeze order"
The planning commission had
considered the Marshall Heights
problem carefully at its recent
March meeting, agreeing to con-
suit with Senator Sparkman in
the meantime and postpone any
further action until next month.
Senator Sparkman was chair
man of the Banking and Cur
rency subcommittee that recently
held hearings on the Marshall
Heights plan. He feels the APP
preparations Committee has never
been briefed fully on the matter,
and it was at his request that the
District Commissioners and
NCPPC postponed any action on
the freeze order"
