Mrs. C. p. B., Washington.
To Mrs. J. B. H., Alexandria
Here Is a recipe for Frogs
Legs Provencale. Clean 10
pairs of frogs legs and soak
them in cold water for two
hours. Dry well with q cloth
and season with salt and
pepper. Saute the legs in two
tablespoons hot butter until
they are golden brown on
both sides. Arrange them on
a heated serving dish and
sprinkle with lemon juice
and chopped parsley Add 3
tablespoons butter and 2 or
3 teaspoons finely chopped
garlic to the saucepan and
when the butter is nut
brown. pour 1t quickly over
the frogs legs. Serve with
garlic butter still foaming.
Frogs legs are delicately
favored. not unlike the white
meat Of young. tender chick
en-. They are a delicacy be-
cause in addition to their
delicious flavor, they are
highly perishable and must
be carefully refrigerated from
the moment the frogs are
killed. The hind legs are the
only part of the frog that is
eaten.
Wash the legs in cold. run
ming water and loosen the
skin at the back Of the legs.
Strip on the skin as you
would remove a glove.

Playground Equipment

Mrs. c. s. w., Bethesda
About seven or eight years
ago someone with q great
deal Of imagination either in
a Silver Spring public or pri-
vate nursery school built
play equipment from cinder
block. This caused a great
deal Of comment and re-
ceived q lot Of publicity be-
cause it was different, cheap,
effective and the children
loved it.
My sister. who lived here
then and who has since
moved to st. Petersburg. Fla,
wonders II she can obtain
any information about build
ing this playground equip
ment. Is there a pamphlet
OF instructions available and,
II SO, where can it be located.

formation readers can sup
ply.
