"En an Serve Thin

Sandwiches

For A Wedding Party

Iy Ida Bailey Allen

landwiches for wedding recep- Iona or "elegant" parties always should be thin. dainty and bites size.

Firm-textured enriched or spe- cialty white breads or entire wheat should be used. These should be sliced at home. since most com- mercially sliced bread is cut too thick for daintiness.

The sandwiches may be closed

or open. in the form of pinwheels. miniature rolls. or sliced layers. A aombinatlon of assorted shapes makes , ssible attractive displays and color arrangements.

The fillings or toppings should be savory rather than sweet. be- uuse sefreshments at weddins receptions and other formal af- fal.rs always include other sweets.

Ready To Serve

If you have a food freezer. the sandwiches may be made several days in advance, wrap-sealed in I moisture anti vapor covering and froaen ready to thaw. arrange and serve. If freezing open sand- wiches, which are really canapes with a bread base. cut in trianS1- ular or fancy shapes. arrange on large pieces of cardboard or ln' shallow boxes. lined with cello- phana.

If the sandwiches are to be served the same day. the ti'e.'ii- ment is a little different. Wrap

them in aluminum foil or cello- phane. then in a damp clean tea towel and refrigerate. if open sandwiches are to be used. place on a cookia sheet. wrap carefully In cellophane. cover with a damp tea towel and refrigerate.

How to Make Dainty Sand- wiches: Cut off the end of the loaf of bread. Spread the out side of the loaf with a suitable spread. Then slice thin. Top with a second slice of bread (not spread). Press together. Trim off the crusts. Cut. into 4 small triangle or finger- lengtli sandwiches.

Here are some interesting sand- wich spreads which are suitable tor keeslng.

ELLEN'S DIARY

by an Island Farmer's Wife

To chores out of doors this day called us, with a cool Wind rov- ing. and still some dampness from yesterday about . . . To an extended spell of weeding we came. at first a little boy for our companion and later Jeanie and Granddaughter. when the week's classes were done. The children much enjoy hav- ing their elders-out about with them to share at first hand the wonders and surprises of theses- son. They discover new flower- ings and count buds of those to

: the plump peonies, the buttercup flower. the lillies of the valley that are pleased to hide shyly their bolls but spread along the lawn as secretively and fast as the little spruces in the farmers' fields which in no time become a secure plantation. "If you happen to have any sods from that Ellen." James of- fered on his way out to the fenc- ing "you might give them to one of the litters in the piggery. Not those nearest the door.- but in the next-to-the-last pen." We nodded and smiled. t"Al- ways at parting. give folks your smile". we recalled a woman of our young and impressionable years say. "We can have no idea just how long It will have to last - the good-bye we give. It may be. as we expect, ony for a little while and it may be-I've seen it so more than once in my time-forever. "Two shall be grinding' Remember? Yes busy as usual with the every- day work. And The one shall be taken, the other left.' "I We smil- ed a and turned to the weeding. Howl stubborn the couch and weedy growth of bed and border had become in the years we had lived at Bob's!

"I think, Ellen lf you used the grub hoe, you would make better headway. Youill find it in the garage" James called back from down the lane. "And. oh yes, if this should happen to work up a thunderstorm, remember to close the stable doors, will you?"

For the gal who attaches great importance to the washabllity of a Spring wardrobe, the new blouses will be a delight to see. to wear and to suds. "Miracle" fibers - more mirac- ulous than ever -- have been blended with cottons. silks, linens and rayons; or solo in lovely new versions that make for easier care. Dacron crepe. pique and batiste are all in the new blouse fabric line-up. as are various nylon weaves. There's a beautiful nylon lace and a new version of an old favorite. nylon georgette: a per- manent-luater cotton. beautiful wash silks and linens. All these fabrics wash with the greatest of ease.

But clean sunshine we nad. and as the hours sped a pleasant warmth to dry passably well the grass to set the lawn-mowers to work . . . A power-machine we have. small and light but ade- quate for the area it must mow. The children regard the mowing as a favorite pastime though it sometimes gives their mother the concern of settling the issue which can arise as to "my turn or hers" at the operation.

Below at the far side of the front meadow. in the shallows of the mlllpond as still as ”a grav- en image", a gray heron stood on stills of legs awaiting the trout and minnow. the unwary creature of the piping-tribe upon which he would sup. Fast beat the swallows' wings. that above the lawn made their excursions thither to pick up bits of clay. each one to make a building block in the 'dobe houses now rising in damp additions along rafter and eve. v

"In the next-to-the-last pen". there went the first baskets of our discards of the weeding. And into the earthy grassy mass went the piglets” pink snouts with many a roguish push and tumble in the lively scrimmage that was to gain for them a taste of the out of doors.

"I declare. Ellen, I don't see why a girl would want to marry a farmer" a farmwife. not much taken up with the life. offered the other day. "I'll as soon. yeg, I'd rather marry a tramp." she managed a chuckle. "I'd at least get a change of scene! On a farm it's the same old sights. the same old.grind of work."

Int not at Alderlea today at the weeding. There was many a change of scene. And about us down went the roots of the schrubs and perennials and trees of ours and the Family's plant- ing. sending their rootlets .a cherished season deeper, into the loving cloisters of the heart.

Girl Fears Social

Oslracism gBecause Oi College Clush

DEAR MARY HAWORTH: I ania Iuyearaoldsndlani pieaen enrolled In a university. I live in a college dormitory. This year I met a wonderful girl who seems to return my affection.

I have a special liking for this girl which I am sure I could never have for any man. Up until now our relationship has been per- fectly nalural; but slowly we find ourselves slipping into a more in- llmlte type of physical attraction. It is doubly difficult to restrain our feelings as we are constant- ly in such close contact. l-low can I possibly avoid hurting this girl? -and breaking my own heart? I feel that if We continue this way it will lead inevitably to public ostraclsm and heartbreal for both of us.

I am a great admirer of your writings and have confidence in your Judgment. Please help us in our great dilemma. P. R.

Case Analogous To Alcoholism

DEAR P. 11.: Maybe it's true that you are developing a special feeling for this girl - such as you might never have for any man. But then. so does the al- coholically inclined individual ra- pidly come under the spell of al- coholism, once he starts bending the elbow. He soon acquires a taste (a compulsive "need"i for intoxlcants. such as he never will feel about water. for instance; or milk. Yet the water and the milk are good for hint. whereas the al- cohol ls sure destruction eventu- ally, if he continues to indulge himself.

The same applies to your con- fused. bewltched, experimental playing with fire, in relation to the fellow student. It is my sur- mise that as of now, you are the more or less innocent victim of the other girl's intent to make a con- quest When this kind of involve- ment develops at college, usually somebody is the aggressor; seldom is it a case of two Innocents coast- ing tincertainly into morbid be- havior.

Thus I suggest that she is care- fully pursuing a delicate court- ship designed to win you without amusing your conscience. until too late. In which case she can't rightly be called a friend. nor a wonderful girl in your experience. A more accurate label would be: sick-minded. nudging you towards neurotic quick-sands.

Let In Light on infatuation

Society nowadays is striving to understand, humanely. the factors that underlie or induce sexually abnormal tendencies. Psychiatry and psychoanalysis have cast some light on background influ- onces that twist individual lives into these futile patterns; but even so, these insights don't alter the fact that the phenomenon is a tragic departure from ” ' health. And if you have any weak- ness in this direction, you should accept it as warning not to expose yourself to serious infections of the sort.

The best antidote to your pres- ent infatuation ls to discuss the whole story freely with a qualified counsellor -- and get it out of the hush-hush category in your think- log. Possibly the dean of Wllmcn would understand and wisely take measu an to speedily restore your emotional equilibrium. or if you shrink from consulting her, find a specialist in human relations -

Praise can give gladdened strength to struggling dieters. The remark. "How well you lookl". after you have slimmed down ten pa ” . is definitely morale build- tiig.

Far too often. however. there's an empty stretch at the start of a diet when no one seems to no- tice. This is particularly true for anyone who is considerably over- weight. Also, day by day-change is less easily detected. so dieters often feel discouraged when the family falls to take prompt notice.

One secretary was so pleased when an acquaintance who had not seen her in a few months ex- claimed . . -. "You look wonder- ful . . . . you've lost weight." "Oh thank you for noticing." was the reducer's response, and she add- ed. "I've taken off 17 pounds. but my family and friends haven't said a word!"

Another overweight laments that she has to take off at least so pounds before anyone so much as mentions that she looks sitin- mer, Since she has a big frame. change is not apparent quickly. Incidentally. she must lose 20 pounds before she can wear a smaller size dress. Naturally all this makes reducing more diffi- cult.

A recent letter from a dieter who made admirable progress and then became discouraged reveals a desperate need for recognition and encouragment. To fill in the background . . . this overweight wore size 56 and, by sheer deter- mination, slimmed down to size 2435. At this stage of her reduc- ing. she no longer had the same lmpelling incentive (the wedding). and therefore sorely needed the praise and recognition which were due her. Instead, she became discouraged because her friends felt she was lying about losing so. much weight. At the very time she needed praise for having lost 84 pounds, and ncouragement to con- tinue. her friends unintentionally let her down.

She wrote . . . "Some people are funny. It seems they would rather hurt you than give a little encouragement. So I felt sorry for myself and started to over-

hospilalized and went through an operation. When I told the doctor and others in the hospital about my reducing. they encouraged me to go on with my dieting. Again Pm counting calories. and in a year I should be at my normal weight.

"I am writing this in hopes it will encourage other overweight: to keep on trying. I will write again in a few months to let you know how I am making out."

Good for you! It's only human nature to want approval. How- ever. an awareness- of what sent
