SAUCE MUST COMPLEMENT THE FOOD
(See Recipes Below)
'I
‘Sauce for the Goose*
The function of a sauce may be
«ither to accent or to soften a flavor;
it may be used to enrich a food, or
to moisten it; the sauce may be
sweet or savory; it may be hot or
cold. Whatever its purpose or clas-
sification, the sauce must be smooth
in flavor as well as smooth in con-
sistency. It should, in addition, of-
fer contrast in color, flavor, in tex-
ture, or in temperature.
Sauces are “sweet” or “savory,”
depending upon whether they are
used for desserts,
or are served
with meat, vege-
tables, egg dishes
or macaroni.
French cooks,
<o whom sauces are sacred, use two
basic recipes or “mother sauces”
from which all their savory sauces
are developed; no simple white
sauce or sauce merely thickened
with browned flour, for them!
To serve its purpose, a sauce must
complement the food—rather than
disguising it. That means subtle
seasoning, and just the right con-
sistency.
Plain white sauce—the standby of
so many cooks—should seldom be
served “as is.” It’s a foundation,
really, which is quite likely to be
flat in flavor, and very much too
thick! Judiciously seasoned, it can
be used in dozens of different ways.
Flavor it with sharp, grated cheese,
or add condensed tomato soup to it,
for character; use a drop or two of
Worcestershire or a half teaspoon
of prepared mustard; or—and this
is a secret we might well borrow
from our French cousins—substitute
soup stock for part of the milk, in
making the sauce.
Orange Sauce.
Vi cup sugar
Wz tablespoons cornstarch
Vi teaspoon salt
[ 1 cup boiling water
Vi cup orange juice
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Vz teaspoon orange rind
1 tablespoon butter
/ sugar, cornstarch and salt.
Add boiling water slowly to this dry
mixture, stirring constantly. Place
in saucepan and cook over low flame
until mixture is clear. Remove from
fire and add orange juice, lemon
juice, orange rind and butter.
Delicious Sauce.
Vz cup heavy cream (whipped)
. 1 egg ""
Vi cup sugar .....
Vi teaspoon vanilla extract.
Beat white and yolk of egg sepa-
rately. Add sugar to beaten yolk,
then add beaten egg white. Last of
all add whipped cream and vanilla
extract. Serve at once.
Italian Tomato Sauce.
Into a deep frying pan place a
No. 2Vz can of tomatoes, 1 green
pepper chopped
over any meat. This is also good for
any fowl or game.
Cheese Souffle With Tomato
Cream Sauce.
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 Vi cups milk
Vz teaspoon salt
Vs teaspoon dry mustard
Vz pound sharp cheese
4 eggs
Melt the butter in a saucepan, add
the flour and cook until frothy. Then
add the milk and
cook together un-
til the sauce has
thickened. Meas-
ure out Vz cup of
cream sauce and
set aside to use
in the sauce. To
the remaining cream sauce in the
pan add salt, dry mustard and
cheese and heat until the cheese is
melted. Add beaten egg yolks. Cool.
Beat egg whites until stiff and fold
into mixture. Pour into a casserole
(about 8 inches in diameter) and
bake 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 min-
utes in a very moderate (310-de-
gree) oven. Serve at once and put
a spoonful of tomato cream sauce
over each portion.
Tomato Cream Sauce.
1 can condensed tomato soup
Vz cup cream sauce (saved from
first part of recipe)
Combine the tomato soup and
sauce and heat, but do not boil.
Hot Butterscotch Sauce.
2 cups light brown sugar
Vz cup coffee cream
Vt cup light corn syrup
Vi teaspoon salt
Blend all the above ingredients
and place in saucepan. Cook slow-
ly, stirring at frequent intervals, un-
til mixture reaches the soft ball
stage (236 degrees). Serve very hoi
over ice cream.
Sideburns
CIDEBURNS used to .be called
^ Burnsides because it was Gen.
A. E. Burnside who popularized
them during the Civil war. The
“wags” of that day changed the
name from Burnsides to sideburns
just to be funny.
General Burnside’s sideburns
were not the rather weak things so
often worn by the younger mascu-
line element to-
day. As the pic-
ture of him
shows, they were
husky and pur-
poseful adorn-
ments that really
went places—
clear across the
frontal features
to join each other
right under the
nose—or is that
thingamus- _____________
tache? Gen. Burnside
Why General Burnsides wore
them is open to discussion. It might
have been to make up for the fact
that his first name was Ambrose
and his second name Everett.
But his achievements never need-
ed apology. He was graduated from
West Point in 1847. He served in
the army for a while and then re-
signed to go into the manufacture of
firearms. He invented one of the
first breechloaders, called the Burn-
side breechloading rifle. It load-
ed from the top, thank goodness, be-
cause if it loaded from the side it
probably would have been called
the Sideburn breechloader.
Back in the army again, he was
a colonel during the Civil war, was
prominent at the Battle of Bull Run
and later became a major-general.
He was intensely patriotic, amia-
ble, modest and very popular. No
American patriot deserved more to
have his name commemorated. It’s
too bad it had to be immortalized in
reverse!
Graham Cracker
ELATING crackers in bed is a time-
_ honored American custom that
is attended with well-nigh disastrous
aftermaths, and eating graham
crackers is much worse than munch-
ing soda crackers because the for-
mer crumble more easily.
For this greater evil we can very
definitely blame Sylvester Graham,
health food faddist of the early
1800s. He devised

O AY MILLAND would like
A v to keep a controlling hand
on the scripts of all pictures
in which he appears from now
on. Truth came far too 'close
to fiction to suit him a while
ago, and he hasn’t quite re-
covered yet. , j
He’d finished work in “Un--
tamed” and gone to Sun Val-
ley for a week’s rest. Mrs.
Milland stayed in Hollywood,
as they were expecting the ar-
rival of their first child some
weeks later. Then he received word
that he’d have to race the stork
if he wanted to be in Hollywood
when it appeared. He started fori
Boise, Idaho, in a car, also in a
blizzard. At Boise he chartered the
only plane available, and was
grounded at Salt Lake City. He1
telephoned the hospital, in Holly-
wood, and learned that he had a
son.
In “Untamed” he’d braved a bliz-
zard to reach the bedside of a sick
sweetheart. If it’s all the same to
the scenario writers, he’d rather
have less harrowing experiences.

Cleaning?
Before the housecleaning season
arrives (and it’s just around the cor-
ner!) be sure you send for a copy
of “Household Hints.” You’ll find it
a handy reference book when you
begin to clean and polish and reno-
vate the house. Just send 10 cents
in coin to “Household Hints” care of
Eleanor Howe, 919 N. Michigan Ave-
nue, Chicago, Illinois, and get your

‘Magic’ Butter Rolls
Speaking of “busy-day” meals,
here s a recipe that will make one
and one-half dozen “magic” butter
rolls in a hurry. This is what you
need:
3 cups general purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
Vz cup butter or: other shortening
Vi cup e-vaporated milk
Vi cup water
2 cakes yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vz cup sugar
1 cup nuts (cut fine)
To IVz cups flour add salt and
shortening, combining as for pie
crust. Combine milk and hot water.
When lukewarm add the yeast and
1 tablespoon sugar, blend well and
then stir into the first mixture, beat-
ing until very smooth. Cover and
let stand 20 minutes. Then add the
eggs and beat vigorously. Beat in
the vanilla and remaining 1V2 cups
flour. Stir until smooth. The dough
will be stiff but slightly sticky. Tie
the dough loosely in a square of
cheesecloth and drop it into a pail
of cool water (70 to 80 degrees). In
about an hour the dough will rise to
the top of the water. When it does,
remove it from the pail. Knead
lightly. Cut into small pieces, roll
in sugar and chopped nuts. Twist
pieces as desired and let stand for
5 minutes. Bake in hot oven about
20 minutes.

Sylvester Gra-
ham was born in Suffield, Conn., in
1794, the son of a highly educated
English clergyman. He became a
minister, also, and went through life
as a Presbyterian to save his soul—
and became a vegetarian to save
his body. His theory was that tem-
perance could be furthered by a
strictly vegetarian diet which would
prevent all desire for stimulants.
One new food theory of his led
to another and he had a wide follow-
ing. Some followed him because
they wanted to save themselves from
liquor, some because they wanted to
preserve their health and others fol-
lowed him because they wanted to
break his neck. Among the latter
were butchers and bakers who riot-
ed when he spoke against meat and
refined flour in Boston in 1847.

Ginger Rogers, who has millions
of fans now, had only one in 1929;
he was John L. Cass, who recorded
the sound of “Primrose Path,” in
which she co-stars with Joel
McCrea. About 10 years ago RCA
made a two-reeler called “Campus
Sweethearts,” in New York, to try
out a new wide-film process. Two
movie unknowns, Ginger Rogers
and Rudy Vallee, were featured.
The director didn’t care for the
song that Ginger had been rehears-
ing, but Cass insisted on recording
it. “She had everything, including
a swell mike voice,” he says. “I
knew she was star dust—and how!”

The Guillotine
'"pHE guillotine, machine used for
A legal beheading in France, was
named for Dr. J. I. Guillotin, who
prevailed upon the national assem-
bly at Versailles in 1789 to adopt
this contraption for all executions.
Two things about this need clear-
ing up. First, Dr. Guillotin was not
cruel—he was a kindly, mild-man-
nered physician from Paris. He
spoke in behalf of
the machine be-
cause it was a
quick, painless
method of inflict-
ing death.
Second: Guillo-
tine is spelled
with a final e that
is not found in
Dr. Guillotin’s
name. When they
called the ma-
chine “la guillo- -.........
tine” instead of Dr. Guillotin
le guillotin”they not only be-
stowed paternity upon the doctor
but they declared the child to be of
the female sex. All French nouns
must have masculine or feminine
gender.
Why the guillotine had to be femi-
nine is ^ not known from the stand-
point of French grammar but it is
decidedly appropriate for something
devised to make a man lose his
head . . . quickly and painlessly!

Actions the Criterion
A slender acquaintance with the
