Brides Service
New Quick Cereal.;
Tasty Snock for
Fall Entertaining
By Violet Faulkner

With vacations behind us, the
children back In school, the
household can settle down to q
regular schedule once, more. Your
bridge club will be organizing for
the winter season, which means
you'll be interested in new food
products for easy entertaining.
One of the fastest Snacks we've
sampled in a long time is small
cracker. about the size of a quar-
ter, generously seasoned with
sharp cheddar cheese and spices.
To us, the size was a great point
in their favor. Not too small, not
too large for a nice comfortable
bite. The pronounced cheese fia-
vor makes them an ideal accom-
paniment for nibbling with a cold
drink or equally tantalizing with
hot consomme or cream soup.
Wedding Service
A first" in Washington is the
new service for brides introduced
by one of our leading F street de-
partment stores. In attractive
surroundings the bride-to-be can
sit down quietly with a competent
adviser and plan her wedding
from her own bridal gown to the
correct attire for the ushers. Here
she can view different patterns of
china and silver, linen and glass
ware, gift suggestions for the at
tendants as well as discuss
the color scheme for the brides
maids gowns. It eliminates
traipsing all over the store look
ing at silver in one department,
china in another, then trying to
carry patterns In your mind so
the two will be co-ordinated.
They do not include a catering
service, but will help with plans
for the reception and the wedding
cake or tea sandwiches may be
ordered through their bakery de-
partment. A record of the choice
OF silver. china or glassware pat
tern will be kept on file, along
with the amount or kind of pieces
purchased.
CereoI in New Pockoee
Every minute counts in the
morning when you're getting the
family fed and off for the day.
Cooked cereals you say take too

simplified directions on the new
package of cream of rice cereal
cuts cooking time to such a mini
mum even the busiest mother
should be able to manage it. The
cereal cooks in 80 seconds /.
just half Of minute. The addi-
ton of a handy pouring spout on
the left side OF the new package
makes 1t easy to measure.
Morket News
You'll find a good variety of
fruits and vegetables on the mar
ketS again this week. The touch
OF cool weather we had q week ago
however is reminder that some
of the current supplies are likely
to disappear before very long. Be-
fore the last of the peach crop
vanishes for another year treat
the family to one more shortcake
or pie. Or If you want a dessert
that is simple but good, try baking
the peaches in honey. Peel and
cut the peaches in half and put
in a shallow buttered baking dish.
Over them pour honey and lemon
juice, sprinkle with cinnamon, dot
generously with butter and bake
in moderate oven until tender.
Serve hot with cream or ice cream.
Try pears the same way when
peaches are no more. Italian
prunes, honeydews, grapes and
apples round out the fruit Offer

On the vegetable side, snap
beans. cabbage, corn and onions
are good buys. Lima beans, egg

peppers and tomatoes are also out
standing.
