Paintings Offer Ideas For Table Arrangements

I! FDA IAILIY ALLEN

By IDA BAILEY ALLEN

"MEMBERS of garden clubs, ex- hibiting table arrangements. 311 recognizing the decorative values of fruits and vegetables." announc- ed the Chef.

We were chatting over glasses of orange juice in the snack bar of the

Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, during our iifood-art" lour. -

shapely and Shining

”The vegetables or fniits must. be of perfect, shape." I said, "beauti- fully cleaned, and shining. They might be arranged on low wooden. wicker or copper trays or in wood- en or eartheiiware bowls. Some-

, times they can be effectively group-

ed on a bamboo mat directly on the table.

"Anyone interested in creating table arrangements would find many suggestions here or in other art museums throughout the milli- , H-. .

A Still Llfl

"The still life we saw called 'Bal.sam Apple and Vegetables' is a good exa.m.ple of a fine arrange- ment. Madame. In the back-ground was a huge blue-green savoy cab- baae; then pods of green orka, a head of pale green cabbage, a yet- low squash, a purple eggplant, and spotlighting were the scarlet pim- ientos and the baltam apple. What richnex of colors!"

Old Cooking Methods

"This Flemish paliitiilg. "1'iic Feast of Achelnusf is most mi.- pressive." observed the Chef. ”Al- though it was done by Paul RUD- ens in the 1600's, it shous so many modern foods, lobsters. mussels, oysters, crayfish. pumpkins. melons and fruits. And on a platter in the middle of the table is the piece de resistance. a roast bird.

"After all. basic food tastes have not changed much during the ages. The change has been with the cook- ing methods. and even some of these are the same as those used for cen- turies."'

Old, Sad Story

DEAR MISS DIX: I am in des- perate trouble and do hope you can help me. Perhaps. as my mother says. I am stupid. but it's not so easy for a woman who is truly in love to accept the simple explanation. In spite of all that has happened, I am still whole- heartedly in love. I am 2'? and the mother of a 10-year-old daughter.

I married too young, and the episode ended in divorce. so I can't claim ignorance as an ex- cuse for my present plight. After.

mit's life. until I met Hal. two years ago. We fell in love and the futulre seemed assured. Then I became pregnant and I hoped we would marry, as planned. but all I got was I promise he'd do the right thing in time. Of course the promise was never kept. he didn't even give me money which I need- ed very much. I havent even heard from him in weeks. I want, to keep my baby. and I still love Hal. Where can I go for help? Lorna. H. ANSWER: It's certainly regret- able that your love couldn't be given to a worthy man. Cajolery sometimes can make the meanest character seem ingi-atiating. The man who deserts the mother of his child is duplcable. How a man can skip his obligations so blithely, yet retain the love of the girl he wronged is one of life's unsolved mysteries. You can be very sure, Lorna. that Hal is now beguiling another tnistlng girl. And you can be equally sure you arent the first woman he has wronged.

ELLENlS DIARY 1

by an Island

And now with a year's experience, in teaching to our credit, we were on our way that morning. by horse and wagon along pretty Island roads to become the mistress of our sec- ond institution of learning. As it happened, it is the same which Granddaughter, a little girl with long braids, now attends. There it sits. little changed by elapslng years. or the comings and goings of succeeding teachers and new gen- erations of pupils, in-that school- yard ot far from the crossroads and by the side of the River Road.

It was then, since that was. and still is. the community to which the family belongs, we were to en- jny and appreciate as A stranger! many a kindness from it. especial- ly at thr-

hands of one' of the:

the father and kindly step-mother and half-brothers then in that circle . . . Of tlhese there was; quiet. studious lad who never returned from World ' War I. He sleeps in P'landers' Fields. The others. near and farth-I er, remain to farm fruitful scres.i The patents are at rest, memories of them kept evergreen by many a one far and near for the count- less favors of heart and hand be- stowed always modestly by them.

so we looked back to read the pages of past years as though it was some exquisite Island story. asl indeed it has been for us, knowing! what time in passing had done to these we had known.

And in our visiting together with the three holidaying-sisters at this House in the Road, we saw many scenes from that second school- year which sped so quickly until it was in its last week-and a June afternoon with a new summer. lush and lovely lay along the lands of those riverside farms. In the orch- ards. the apple trees had dropped their petals; in yards and gardens lilacs had faded. But new first roles were budded and odd ones blown.

-And once more. both of us now full-fledged school ma'ams, we were a fellow-traveller of the teacher- slster of the five. Her holidays had already commenced, and having Joined us at our '1iome away from home” we were on our way a-foot to attend, by special invitation and contribute something to. the clos- ing exercises of a school might by ii girl we both knew.

James saw us go. Just happenw ed to. so he said. He remembered it well-the day and attendant cir- cumstances. He and a helper were engaged in clearing a bit of virgin! land then. on a look-out of hillside above the road and mlllstream. He declares he recalls it not because of the intriguing sight of passing; femininity it afforded him as for the nest of weaaels uncovered by his endeavour of the time!

"Strange little animals." we have overheard him recount to his Grandchildren. "Longish and slim. And how they cried! I can still hear. their whimpering-not unlike that of a child hurt or ill or lost

Dash and fun came naturally to her. Her decorum and fashion sense showed the influence of her well-dressed mother, at 47 a vet- eran of 20 years in the public eye. Alexandra mirrored the duohearf elegant dress.
