Mailorder, Catalogue Anol Almanac Are Standbys

“You'll be hearing the sound of the spring-freshets before long, James” one who knows the neigh- borhood well offered this evening with a twinkle. He had come a- long the fields to stop with us a while at Alderlea. "Spring’s not many days off now. I was looking in the almanac today. It comes in, March 20th -— to be exact, at six minutes past ten, at night.’

“These times with radio and suchlike, a fellow forgets about a-lmanacs”, James commented with a smile. “And it's a pity too because they do contain a fund of information. If it’s only to learn" he chuckled “how much earlier we can rise these days!”

“An almanac is like a mailer- der catalogue” we said “it’s a real Book of Knowledge. Jea-nie declares that catalogues teach children much. They learn to rec- ognize numbers, andif one leaves them to the pagesof toys, small ones will work hard at reading the descriptionsand prices.”

“But there are no jokes includ- ed in the catalogue”, our visitor oi V :ed wit.h a broad smile. “The. Missis laughed ove_r‘-one in--the almanac about the mother who admitted ‘When I had my first baby, I called the doctor every time, he sneezed! But when my youngest swallowed a penny‘ the other day, I looked at him and said: Young man, that will come out of your allowance!”

“And isn’t it true!”,we' giggled.

“And often the almanafcs reck-

on the weather forecasts fairly well” James nodded. . . And we remembered then how serene the evening of -this day had been, lightly cloudy, mild and still. A breath of wind wandered — only a whisper on ones cheek and in the branches about: in the birch- es so pretty against the gray and in the willows brightening the scene with their gold. Dusk was dropping in a gentle flow,'leav- ing tenderly the hilltops and seep- ing. into the valley below.

There was no evening star,‘ no bright of promised moonrise, but yet we were aware of the deep peace that prevailed in the won- der-hour of the twilight, then fill- ing the countryside about. “Grade T any of your potatoes yet?” James queried. _

“Oh we’re doing a little. Today however, we were getting some turnips ready to go. Prices of both are strengthening."

“And a good thing too” James nodded. “Even” he smiled a bit Duefully ‘though we don't stand to gain anything from any pro- duce shipped from this farm! Al

the sa-me time it will make a bet- ter, a more encouraging Spring all round. You know how it is. There's be more money in cir- culation. . more to buy lime and

fertilizer and seeds. That make

for better times — and likely bet-

ter crops.”

A day this was to exercise idle .- . for Mack after school to join other children in'a sk-ate on Kristy’s Pond, in afield be-_ yond the hilltop; for granddaugh- ter to bake a favorite chocolate- cake and relieve her mother of the care of the active Alex who now “is into everything” and

, THE UNRULY TONGUE

Dear C.V.: Silence is golden, we are told. The systematic practice of reflective, meditative or contemplative silence is ab- solutely e s se ntial to spiritual geowth; that is, to growth of wis- dom and understanding.

The ability to combine mental alertness with vocal restraint is a saintly accomplishment. The ordinary mortal seldom attains to it. Indeed the apostle James in his general epistle (in Holy Writ) registers doubt that it can be done.

He says: (3:8) “The tongue no man can tame. It is an’ unruly evil, full of deadly poison.” Earl- ier (3:2) he mentions that “In many things we all offend; (but) if any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body."

Behold ‘also the ships,” he says, “which though they be so great, and are driven with fierce winds, ‘yet‘are they turned about with a very small helm, withersoever the governor listeth. Even so the tongue . . .” he suggests. 5 We should guard the tongue as the key,to total self-control. But

“defilveth the whole man,” he laments. NEED LISTENERS

'1lhat’s one slanton verbosity: and I gather James had in mind the scurrilous, blasphemous, gos- sipy kind of garrulity. As for simple self-centered yak-yaking, such as your letter deplores, psy- chiatry sees it as a symptom of loneliness. And when you review the “woman's impulsive outpour-

How o;T7I§;es To Keep Quiet

Dear Mary Haworth: It would be a boon to mankind if there were some way to keep people from talking too much. If only we could make them awareyof what bores they are, to yak, yak,

yak all the time.

Women are pretty bad about this; but there are many men, too, who just love the sound of

their own voice.

LET'S EAT These Cooking

By IDA BAILEY ALLEN Outside it was cold and dreary. Inside, the cooking school was warm and gay with the eager voices of the 14 students.

They were to have the last les- son in their course under expert instructors, James Bears, gaur- met-culinarian, and Albert Stocki consulting chef .of the Hotel Lex-- ington, where the cooking school was held in an up-to-the-minute experimental kitchen. EXCHANGED EXPERIENCES

The students, both men and women, were enthusiastically ex- changing experiences on their home practice work during -the week.

Some had brought samples of their cookery. The gorgeous, big, perfectly baked brioche ‘ war- ranted praise by the_ instruct- ors. Other foods not so gorgeous, called for constructive sugges- tions and a “try .it again.”

This is a different kind of cook- ing school. The instructors do not give mere lecture demonstra- -tions. Instead, each .'student ac- tually cook-s under expert instruc- tions and, during the 2% hour session, foods for a complete meal are prepared.

TIME’ FOR QUESTIONS

Then comes the luncheon feast, with plenty of time for questions ‘to be asked and answered, fol- lowed by a- summary of the high- lights of the session. .

A real move ahead, these cook- ing schools. They are«acquain-t- ing women and men with -the fine points of cooking and helping to raise the preparation of good food ‘to an art.

Here is the recipe for the main dish prepared the day the Chef and I were guests of the school.

Chicken Paella: Clean, ‘ wash, dry and section a 2% lbfchicken. Scrub 6 clams in the shell. Pre-

and Vincent MacKenzie presented the young couple with a beauti- ful chair and a sum of money-

Following the address and pres- entation Mr. Stretch responded with a few well chosen words. A delicious lunch was served by the ladies and the remainder of the evening was pleasantly spent by playing games and conversation.

Classes

pare 6 good-sized fresh or frozen cleaned shrimp. Open 1 (10 01’--> can mussels. _

Mix 1-3 c. flour with 1 tsp. salt and Vs tsp. pepper. Flour the chicken with this. Brown all over the Spanish olive oil. Remove the chicken.

Add 2 more tbsp. oil to the try- ing pan, together with 1 fine-‘ chopped onion and 1 minced sec- tion garlic. Saute until the color turns.

Into this mixture, pour 1V2 c. uncooked rice. Saute-stir 5 min, or until beginning to, color.

In a 3-qt. casserole layer the rice mixture with the chicken, 37%! c. thin pimiento strips and 1 c. thin-sliced Spanish sausage. Dust, with 1 tsp. powdered thyme. Cover with boiling chicken broth (or use boiling water with 1 buiol- lon cube to a cup) to 1 in. above the surface.

Bake 35 min. in a mod. oven, 350 degrees F. or until the rice is tender; A

After the paella has baked 20 min., tuck the shrimp and mus- sels into the rice; border with the clams in the shell and finish baking, when they will have opened. Garnish with green peas and pimiento strips.

Tomorrow's Dinner: Tomato juice cocktail, salami Snacks, chicken paella, tossed green sa- lad, red apple bowl, cream aheese, or chocolate soufﬂe, cof- fee, tea or milk. ‘

The Chef selects a salad:

When you are preparing a sa- lad- for dinner, select greens: and ingredeints that contrast with the main dish. And do not make the -dressing too sour with vinegar.

For today’s dinner, I suggest a ‘salad which does not duplicate or overwhelm the ﬂavor of the

paella. With this entree, tender

spinach leaves, diced tomato,

celery and lettuce tossed with French dressing would be per. fect.

For ‘the dressing, use 3 parts olive Oll, 1/2 tbsp. each cider vine. gar a.nd lemon juice, 1 or‘ 2 drops Tabasco and salt to taste.
