Luncheon Aids
If you don’t have the points for
traditional staples to make up the
children’s mid-
day lunches, then
glance over the
suggestions I’m
giving you today.
They’re low on
points, . good on
nourishment and
higji,.., in .health-
giving vitamins and minerals.
Homerhakers with growing chil-
dren .who must feed them at home
during lunch, and then feed a very
hungry husband at dinner, frequently
find themselves low on points for
these two important meals. They
must be well balanced and satisfy-
ing or the family will suffer in days
lost at -school or at work and that’s
sabotage on the home front.
Sandwiches are an old stand-by
and children look forward to them.
To give a well-balanced lunch, they
should be served with soups or sab
ads., . / •
Creamed Soup.
(Leftover Vegetables)
(Serves 4)
Vt cup pulp (onions, carrots, celery,
peas, string beans or lima beans)
1 tablespoon flour
2 tablespoons butter or substitute
1 teaspoon salt
Va teaspoon pepper
2 cups milk
Add milk and seasonings to vege-
table pulp. Blend butter with flour
and add to milk and vegetable pulp.
Bring to a boil and cook slowly for
-4 minutes.
/ *Cream of Corn Soup.
(Serves 6)
2 cups corn (canned or leftover)
2 cups boiling water
2 cups milk
1 slice onion
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
Salt and pepper
Place corn, boiling water, milk
and onion in a saucepan. Simmer
for 20 minutes. Rub through a sieve.
Brown flour and butter together.
Stir in corn mixture. Simmer 5
minutes. Serve very hot.
When making sandwiches, there’s
a tendency to fall into the same pat-
tern and create
real monotony.
New ideas can
quickly pep up
lunches whether
they’re at home
ar in the lunch
box. It’s easy to
achieve variety if you use low-point
cream cheese or some of the wedge-
cuts flavored with pimiento, relish
and chives. These furnish nutritious
butter fat too, and you can take it
easy on butter for spreading:
•Cream Cheese and Peanut
Sandwiches.
(Makes three)
% six-ounce wedge cut of cream
cheese
14 cup chopped salted peanuts
teaspoon lemon juice
Va teaspoon salt
6 slices white or whole wheat bread
Cream the cheese until soft. Add
nuts, lemon juice and salt. Spread
between slices of bread.
The other half of the wedge can be
mixed with 2 tablespoons of lemon
juice and pulp and 2 tablespoons of
finely chopped nutmeats. This will
give Vi cup of sandwich spread.
Luncheon Suggestion
•Cream of Com Soup
•Cream Cheese and Peanut Sand-
wiches on Boston Brown Bread
•Date and Orange Salad

Lynn Says
Escort Ideas: The little things
you do for food are as important
as the big things you do for them
in cooking correctly. For exam-
ple, the bread pudding may be
good, but it will be better with a
spoonful of spicy apple butter on
top, or a dab of grape jelly.
Make your meat casseroles in-
teresting by leaving the vegeta-
bles in larger pieces. When you
make a biscuit topping, use dif-
ferent typ,es of cutters for bis-
cuit dough—hatchets, diamonds,
cloverleafs, etc.
Apple slices fried in bacon add
fragrance to your kitchen, and
have that hard-to-resist flavor
when served with old fashioned
griddle cakes.
Save Those Used Fats;
Take Them to Your Butcher.
Liver Sandwich Spread.
1 chopped onion
1 tablespoon butter
2 hard-cooked eggs, minced
% pound liver
Va cup cream
Salt and pepper
Brown onion in melted butter. Mix
well with liver, blend in cream and
seasoning and mix well. Keep
spread in cool place until ready to
use.
Cheese and Dried Beef Spread.
Vi pound American cheese
XA cup drained canned tomatoes
% cup butter or substitute
M pound dried beef, chopped
Melt cheese in top of double boil-
er. Add tomatoes gradually, stir-
ring occasionally. Add butter and
blend thoroughly. Add dried beef
and mix well. Store in refrigerator.
Chopped Meat Spread.
1 cup leftover meat, chopped
1 teaspoon mustard
2 finely chopped hard-cooked eggs
Chopped pickle or vinegar
Mayonnaise to moisten
Mix all togeth-
er. Spread gener-
ously on buttered
bread.
A fruit salad all
quivery and de-
lectable with fruit
makes a perfect
foil for a sand-
wich luncheon
and gives your
menu plenty of variety:
•Date and Orange Salad.
(Serves 4)
1 package orange-flavored gelatin
1 cup boiling water
% cup cold water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
12 pitted dates, quartered
2 oranges, sectioned
Lettuce
Salad dressing
Dissolve gelatin in boiling water.
Add cold water and lemon juice and
chill to the consistency of thick syr-
up. Fold in dates and orange sec-
tions. Pour into lightly oiled mold
and chill until firm. Serve on let-
tuce with salad dressing mixed with
lemon or orange juice, or both.

Chicken Feet
Don’t throw away chicken feet.
There’s plenty of good flavor in the
bones. Scald the feet for a few min-
utes and then peel off the scaly yel-
low skin. Next, simmer the feet in
a saucepan, with water to cover, for
45 minutes. Strain the broth and
use it for added richness in chicken
gravy, soup, or with chicken and
noodles. The broth can also be sub-
stituted for part of the milk in mak-
ing white sauce for creaming left-
over chicken.

Gay Embroidered Midriff
Accents Simple Dress
A dress may be ever so simple
but it does call for some one or other
dashing highspot to give it distinc-
tion. In the new gaily embroidered
belts, girdles and midriff sections
you have just that. If you are re-
sourceful you will buy a wide suede
belt or a smart ready-made ribbon
belt and embroider it with beads of
gay yarn. Many of the simple
little wool frocks now so beloved are
made with inset belts. Women who
have a knack of adding “the touch
that tells” are embroidering the in-
set section with sequins or bead-
work. Gives gorgeous accent to
even the most conservative dress.
Tree of Heaven
One very common ornamental that
can be easily grown in the most con-
gested and contaminated areas is
the ailanthus, or tree of heaven.
Seemingly no conditions are too ad-
verse to check its growth.
It is most often used in its natural
form, as a tree. But it can also
be used as a shrub, by the sim-
ple process of cutting the trunk off
at the desired height; then the re-
sultant new shoots springing from
the trunk immediately below the cut
form a small bush or tree some-
what resembling the low-growing
sumacs. One instance was a border
of ailanthus so treated around an of-
fice lawn in an industrial section
where no other shrubs have been in-
duced to thrive. Replacement after
replacement was made until this
idea was hit upon, and all who see
these grounds admire them.
Typical Window of
Eighteenth Century
E KNOW that the Eighteenth
vv Century is often called the
golden age of the cabinet makers.
The English cabinet makers, Chip-
pendale, Heppelwhite, Sheraton
and the Adam brothers, flourished
then. The furniture types of their
day have become standard with us.
Visitors to the reconstructed village of
Williamsburg, Va., are often surprised to
find that Venetian blinds were the fashion
long before the Revolution, and the well
tailored canvas lined valance used with
floor length chintz draperies also seem
modern to them. Yet these were the cur-
tain styles when ladies and gentlemen
wore powdered wigs. Valances were made
just as we make them today and were
tacked to a valance board in pretty much
the Same manner as is shown here.
* * *
NOTE—This is the second of a series on
modern adaptations of period curtain
fashions. Another version of the shaped
type of valance is given in BOOK 5 of
the series of ten booklets on sewing for
the home. To get copy of Book 5 send
15 cents direct to:
