CHICKEN TETRAzzINI

(From Miss T. G., WaShington.j J
Recently there was a request for
q recipe for chicken tetrazzini.
The one given below is copied
from Charleston Recipes. collected
by the Junior League of Charles
ton. I have not tried this particular
recipe, but all of the ones from
this cook book that I have tried
have been wonderful. But then,
I am a South Carolinian and may
be prejudiced. I have so thorough
ly enjoyed and benefited from
RICH that I am delighted at last
to offer something that may be
helpful.
Chicken Tetrazzini: Six or eight
large musrooms, 4 tablespoons
butter, Il cup good sherry, 2
tablespoons flour, cups hot milk,
salt and pepper to taste, Sprink-
ling of nutmeg, / cup thick cream,
2 egg yolks, S cups diced cooked
chicken, / nine-ounce package of
thin spaghetti, cup grated par
mesan cheese. Saute mushrooms
in tablespoons butter. Ado
sherry and cook for few minutes.
Make a cream sauce of 2 table
spoons butter and 2 tablespoons
flour. Rub these together and add
hot milk. Cook in a double boiler.
stirring constantly until smooth
and of a good body-about 20
minutes. Season with salt. pep
per and nutmeg. Beat the yolks of
the eggs into the cream and add
to the sauce. Continue to stir.
After minutes, ad chicken. Sea-
son to taste. Add mushrooms
Cook spaghetti. Butter a shallow
casserole and put the cooked
spaghetti in the bottom. Cover
with the creamed chicken mix
ture. Sprinkle cheese over top and
put under the broiler until golden
brown and bubbling. Serves 6 to 3.

LEARNING BY EAR;
FORTY WINKS;
CAKE RECIPE?

(Fron, Mrs. H. c. r., Silver SpringJ
To F. F., Arlington: May I say
you are very fortunate in having
youngsters with a musical ear.
This will give them endless pleas
ure throughout their lives, believe
me. but how much more they will
enjoy music If taught to read the
notes, also. I play entirely by
ear and my friends are truly
amazed. Naturally, I have
style all my own; put in and
add to any song hear.
I have my own boogie arrange
ments. But friends do not know
the longing in my heart to be
able to read music also How
much better I could entertain if
I knew my way around, SO to
speak. AS it is, I favor the key
of E fiat and do not find time
to practice other keys we'll. Con-
sequently, my songs all sound
alike and I find it hard to play
for friends who like to sing. I
do hope you can tell what I am
trying to put on paper to you.
One who plays by ear needs no
real teacher-his ears tell his
fingers what to play and when
he's wrong on a note or chord.
If he is shown a few beginning
chords he can go on from there,
playing whatever he hears. The
more difficult the song, the more
times needed to hear it and the
more practice needed.
For you busy mothers who try
to catch 40 winks while baby
maps, put your phone on the floor
and muf1e the sound by placing
a throw-rug or a pillow over the
phone.
And now would some one please
share with me a good devils
food cake recipe?

1t Runs Through
My Mind
Nh Mind Is Not at Home
BY POLLY j. HANST

1t just won't stay put-this feeble

to letting down hens and sewing new
seams but it will have none of that.
SO as usual, I'll probably be stitch
ing into the night on Saturday in or
der to be turned out on Easter morn
ing.
My mind is back at home-on the
farm-stealing and hiding every egg

hen would cackle there was always
race to see who would get the egg.
1 always used a brown stone Jar in
the cellar to hide mine. We had no

for nothing could be any more fun
than to see who came forth with the
most eggs on Easter morning. Some
times we did u h thorough job
that a couple dozen would have to be
called in so that Saturdays baking
could continue as usual
Sometimes my mind is at Mountain
Lake or Turkey Neck, where I've been
told there is haven for bird lovers
right now. The whistling swan was
seen lately and that's a rare sight in
the spring. l know a couple of women
who make two trips a day-early

species is taking a rest before moving
northward.
It's short jump of the mind to
get down Friendsville way to the
swamps along Bear Creek to see if
the Marsh marigolds are out. could

Reminds Residents of
Forest Fire Dangers

Area residents are being reminded
by forestry officials that this is a
critical time of the year when forest
fires cause much loss to valuable tim
Der.
II. c. Buckingham, state forester,
points out that at this time of the
year wooded areas are drier and with
the weather becoming warmer the
possibility of fires becomes more
prevalent Brush burners near wooded
areas are urged to wait until after
4 p. m.
A new hydraulic controlled fire line
pillow has been shipped to this area
as a safeguard in combating fires in
the county. The pillow, he said, is rug
gcdly built and mounted on a 25 h. p.
crawlcr tractor and is especially de-
signed for forest fire fighting.
The new piece of equipment used
successfully in the Eastern part Of
the state probably will be located at
Mt. Lake Park and can be moved
easily from place to place atop a
trailer.
The pillow, assigned to the county by
the Maryland Forestry department, is
used to cut off the advance of forest
fire, and is capable of forming a fur
row about four to five feet wide.
Trees measuring about five inches can
also be cut down by the equipment.

The average homeowner spends
q considerable amount of money
for the shrubbery and general
landscaping around his house.
Much of this kind Of work is
done by the owner himself. And
unless he has had some experience
along these lines he is apt to make
two mistakes which will eventually
cost him money.
The first mistake is in planting
shrubs which are destined to grow
to such a height that they will
black out windows. darken the in
terror of the house and, incident
ally, cause the wood structure to
rot rapidly or the masonry to be-
come damp and cause crumbling
mortar joints.
1t is also quite plain to any one
Evening star., 1952-07-19
Use Discretion in Planting Shrubs

The second mistake usually
made by the homeowner is to
plant too closely. This results in
such a dense and tangled growth
around the house base that it is
impossible for the structure to
ever dry out properly after heavy
rains or snow and thus it becomes
damp and subject to rapid disinte-
grafton.
The answer Is simply to space
the shrubbery properly after in
vestigating the future possibilities
regarding growth and Develop
ment or to move the shrubs after
a few years growth.
Any builder or architect will tell
you that close. high shrubs are a
distinct detriment to house and
that planting is usually overdone
rather than underdone.

The answer is to plant shrubs

a restricted height; in short,
spreading shrubs instead Of high

Young Widows Are
Fewer i'm US Than
In Lost Decade

NEW YORK-One of the truly
heartening results of Americas
enormously improved national
health is that there is a smaller
proportion of young widows in our
population than at any time since
at least 1890, according to census
figures. AT the same time. Young
married women are protected to-
day by more life insurance than
any preceding generation of wo-
men.
For more than half a century.
the proportion of younger widows
in our population has been de-
creasing as husbands have been
living longer. In 1900, one out of
every five men 80 years old faced
the prospect of dying before his
5Oth birthday; today only one out
OF every 10 men dies between these
two ages. While wartime deaths
may increase the number of young
er widows in our population for a
time, a high marriage rate tends
to decrease the number. 1t is be-
heved, incidentally, the remar-
riage rate among younger widows
has been particularly high since
the end of World War II.
In any case, according to census
figures, there were 1000 widows
in the United States in 1850 who
were younger than As years of age
and there were IN, 200 in 1910
even though our total population
was smaller in 1910 than in 1850.
In the same decade the number
of older widows has risen, from
five to six million.
