IT do not want to be a famous
hostess" Mrs. Douglas Fairbanks
told me at the only interview
she ever has given in Great Brit
ain to a woman journalist. I
believe her but circumstances
have made her the most famous
in the land (royalty excluded) -,
and there is little she can do
about it.
I had stopped my car outside
a plain. double -fronted house in
Earl's court. A honey, middle
aged American opened the front
door to me.
MRS. Douglas Fairbanks is not
home yet" she apologized. I'm
afraid we're mostly resting today
we had rather a large party
last night"
I sat in the drawing room and
tried to form a picture in adj
vance of the hostess whose par
ties have set the nation talking
as few have done since the hey
days of the Edwardian era.
My reverie was swiftly broken.

Don't let lack OF a car keep
you from bidding your date to
a dance or any important school
or club event!
If you really want to go, you
can find a way to get there
by bus, trolley, taxi or afoot!
The easier solution might be to
page another driver, with pas
senger space to spare, who will
be glad to share the ride. It's
more fun to double" or triple
for big doings."
To solve the transportation
problem that might worry quite
a few, in your class or group,
why not try a car-date pool?
This idea works we'll, at one
senior high school, where it is a
Student Council project. It is re-
peated year-'round, for proms
monthly dances, trips to games,
ETC., to encourage an all-out turn
out. The plan is so popular that
many register, regularly, as driv-
ers and passengers.
To set up the car pool: Ahead
Of the dance, older students with
operators licenses. who can pro-
vide cars and rides, sign up.
Those in need of rides do like
wise. All this Is on a couple
basis. The boys list their names
because it is customary for them
to be responsible for transporta-
ton, for all dates, including girl
club parties.
GA similar plan could be adapt

parents volunteering as drivers
through cooperation with your
Mothers Club or Parent Teach

I could only guess about a

crossed the clove-carnation car

with its soft wall lighting and
green-fringed creamy hangings
/. about which fruit the Queen
chose from the melon. pine

Cookery

Some tips from Texas on
cornmeal cookery may help
homemakers use this food to
best advantage. The Texas Ex-
pertinent Station reports re-
search on improving cornbreads
and other cornmeal dishes in
nutritive value and also appetite
appeal. This is especially i'm
portant in Texas and elsewhere
in the South because cornmeal
is used in such large quantity.
especially by rural Families. A
station survey showed that in
farm homes ~ pounds of corn
meal a person a week was used
on the average. For each pound
of flour farm families used at
least 11a pounds of cornmeal.
The station urges the use of
enriched cornmeal and grits.
But it points out that full benefit
from enrichment calls for CO.
operation from the cook. She
needs to know how to make corn
meal dishes that are delicious
and also hold all possible nu-
trients.
Tests of such favorites as corn
bread, spoon bread, pone, corn
meal and cooked grits showed
that thiamine (vitamin BID is
the only nutrient likely to suf-
fer important losses in cooking.
To save it, the station cautions
especially against using too
much baking powder and soda.
Too much of these. the station
finds, destroys thiamine in such
baked dishes as corn bread and
spoon bread. and also makes
them less appetizing-a waste
all around. The station advises
using no more than ~ tea
spoons of baking powder to 2
cups Of cereal (meal and flour
Mixed, and using no more than
u teaspoon of soda to 112 cups
of sour milk. That many cooks
overdo these leavenings is shown
by IS corn bread recipes coll
lected from Texas homes. Nearly
half used so much leavening that
considerable thiamine would he
destroyed in baking, and a third
called for enough to destroy all
thiamine added by enrichment.
Short cooking also helps save
this vitamin. MuSh and grits
cooked 80 minutes or less are ap-
petizing, hold all three impor-
tant B vitamins, and are stiff
enough when cold to slice for
frying. Popular as fried cooked
grits and mush are, frying is
added cooking, thus causes some
further loss Of thiamine, worth
consideration if the diet is low
in this vitamin.
