BRAZILIAN RECIPES
(From Mrs. M. B„ Washington.)
I am inclosing some Brazilian
recipes which I am sure our Amer
ican readers will enjoy. I lived for
20 years iq> that wonderful country
and my htisband is a Brazilian.
Brazilian Rice: One cup rice (well
washed and drained), 3 cups boiling
water, 2 tablespoons fat, 1 chopped
onion, 1 chopped tomato, 1 slice
green pepper, salt. Method: Melt
fat and saute onion, salt, tomato
green pepper, add the washed and
drained rice and turn in the fat
mixture till well coated, add the
boiling water and cook, covered
lifting the rice from the bottom ol
the pan from time to time with s
fork. When water is practically ab
sorbed place in the oven uncovered
with low heat until ready to serve
It will be delicious.
Brazil is the banana paradise
They have at least 20 varieties, gold
banana, apple banana, silver ba
nana, St. Thomas' banana, watei
banana, finger banana, land ba
nana, Italian banana, etc.
The banana with which we are
laminar Is called the water banana
and when It la very ripe makes a
delicious bread. Three dead ripe
bananas mashed to pulp, Vi cup
sugar (brown or white), 4 table
spoons vegetable fat or butter, 1
eggs unbeaten, 1 cup water, % tea
spoon soda (this is essential),
teaspoons baking powder, 2% cups
flour, a pinch of salt. Mix only
until smooth and bake in loaf that
has been oiled and floured. Bake
for 45 minutes in medium oven,
Let cool before removing from pan.
Another of the delicious recipes
is for the Portuguese Cosida, a vege
table stew. One “pig hock” or slice
of ham, 1 pound soup beef oi
brisket, Vi pound sausage links
Brown sind add a quart of water,
bring to a boil and drop in 4 whole
onions, 1 green pepper, 6 carrots, 1
small cabbage cut in quarters, 6
small new potatoes, 3 peeled sweet
potatoes, 6 small turnips, okra, brus
sels sprouts, spinach, 1 peeled cu
cumber, 4 tomatoes, 4 stalks celery
and 4 medium-ripe bananas peeled
and dropped in whole. Several
slices of squash or pumpkin, string
beans. Cook 2 hours very slowly,
or can be pressure cooked for 25
minutes. The result is wonderful
and the bananas and cucumber are
delicious in this stew. This is
served with rice or thick com meal
mush cut in squares.

“WEARINESS”
(from. Mrs. G. H. B., Arlington.)
0 little feet! That euch lone years
Muit vender on through hopes end fears.
Must ache and bleed beneath your load;
1 nearer to the wayelde Inn.
Where toU shall cease and rest begin,
Am weary, thinking of your road.
O little hands! That, weak or strong,
Have (till to serve or role so long,
Hava still ao long to give or ask;
I. who ao much with book and pen
Hare tolled among my fellowmen.
Am weary, thinking of your task.
O little hearts! That throb and beat
With such Impatient, feverish heat.
Such limitless and strong desires.
Mine that so long has glowed and burned,
With passions Into ashes turned
Now covers and conceals Its fires.
O little souls! As pure and white
And crystalline as rays of light
Dlreet from heaven, their source dlvino;
Refracted through the mist of years.
How red my setting sun appears.
How lurid looks this soul of mine!

"JACK PROST.’’
(From Mrs. A. G.. Arlington.)
To Mrs. C. D„ who requested the
poem, “Jack Frost is a wonderful
sprite, he paints the world with
beauty alone in a single night.”
I have a poem, "Jack Frost”, only
those lines are not in it. It's
a good month since she requested it,
and since C have seen no answer,
will take a chance and send mine.
The door was (but. as doors should be,
_ Before you went to bed lsst night:
Tet Jack Frost has got In. you see.
And left your window white.
He must have waited till you slept:
And not a single word he spoke.
But penciled o’er the panes and crept
Away again before you woke.
And now you cannot sec the trees.
Nor fields that stretch beyond the
But there are fairer things than these
His fingers traced on every pane.
Rocks and castles towering high:
Hl^s^and dales and streams and
And knights in armour riding by.
With noddine Dltimca and shlnlna
smews.
And her* are little boats and there
Bis ships with sails spread to the
breeze;
And yonder, palm trees waving fair
On islands set in silver seas.
And butterflies with gauzy wings:
And herds of cows and Cocks of sheep:
And fruit and flowers and all the thins*
You see when you are sound asleep.
For, creeping softly underneath
The door when all the lights are out,
Jack Frost takes every breath you
breathe
And knows the things you think about.
Be paints them on the wlndowpan*
In fairy lines with frozen steam;
And when you wake, you see again
The lovely things you saw In dream.

FEEDING CHILD.
(From Mrs. H. R. K„ HyattsviUe.)
To the lady who is having trouble
teaching her 17-month-old young
ster to feed herself, my experience
has showed me to have patience.
My little boy, now almost 3 years
old, fed himself fairly well when
14 months old, but refused to later
on, especially after the arrival of
our baby, when he was 2%. Now,
finally, he is coming around to
feeding himself once again. Dur
ing this time I helped and encour
aged him and now he can handle
his spoon and fork nicely.
I find in so many things where
a child will learn to do things
for himself, he lapses and refuses
to be independent and needs en
couragement, love and patience.

COFFEE CAKE.
CANDLE GREASE?
(From Mrs. F. H. D,. Washington.)
To Mrs. P. J. D., Washington. I
am glad to pass on my recipe for
coffee cake, which answers Mrs.
P. J. D.’s description of the cake
she desires, 'nils is very nice as
well as easy to make.

More on Canned Soups
By the Chef
Let's go a little further with
last week’s dissertation on varying
canned soups to add interest and
variety to our usual first course.
First, there’s the simple little trick
of adding a pinch of dried oregano
or basil to canned tomato soup.
You’ve no idea what a pickup this
Is for a soup that Is usually too
bland for most tastes. Add a little
red wine to oxtail soup; sherry, a
slice of lemon and a slice of hard
cooked egg to black bean. Sprinkle
grated Parmesan cheese on clear
bouillon.
On white soups, Instead of the
usual dash of paprika, float chopped
chives, minced parsley or chopped
green onion tops. Minced watercress
Is good on celery soup and chopped
chives are practically a “must” for
potato soup. Green split pea soup is
enhanced by a sprinkling of grated
carrot on top. Chop dlllttle pickle
into vegetable soups that seem to
lack xlp. It will give It to them!
When you get around to the sum
mertime and start serving jellied
soups, don’t pour them in the cups
to Jell. Let them Jell In the can, turn
the contents Into a chilled bowl and
break it up until light and sparkling
by beating with a fork. Heap the
glistening mounds in chilled bouillon
cups and top with a slice of lemon.
Or serve a spoonful or so of several
kinds of Jellied soup6 on one large
soup plate—the color and flavor con
trast Is most refreshing.
Combine a cup of clam Juice with
a cup of tomato Juice, heat through
and season with butter and minced
parsley. Serve It hot and pour It In
the freezing compartment to freeze
to a mash or frappe. Here’s a tip—
never try to Jell clam Juice by adding
gelatin. It won’t work and tastes
awful.
Puffs of salted whipped cream are
good on such things as clear tomato
bouillon, spinach and clear chicken
broth. I’ve told you before about
adding chilled avocado balls to hot
consomme. Tiny meat balls, dipped
in flour and fried in hot fat. may
be added to beef bouillon with good
effect.
Keep your eye open when you go
shopping for new canned soups to
try. There are lovely things like
vicyssoise that you can serve hot or
cold In the approved style. There’s
a wonderful chicken and watercress
soup that Is delicate and only needs
a dusting of minced fresh watercress
to be about perfection.
If you find a Jar of the expensive
turtle soup, with pieces of turtle In
It, seize It for your next party. All
it will need Is a dash of sherry.

SANDWICH SPREAD.
(From. Mrs. C. A. L., Harrisonburg.)
A different spread for sandwiches
may be made by grinding beef, then
adding a Jar of sandwich spread,
which may be found at the stores
now without too much trouble, and
also several hard boiled eggs. Mix
all together and if kept in glass
container in refrigerator will keep
for days. Celery and onion may
also be added.

GIFT FOR BRIDE.
(From B. M. W., Alexandria.)
I would like to help Mrs. W. D. J.,
Arlington, if I may. Being an Eng
lish wife of an U. S. A. A. F. officer,
and being in constant contact with
my people and friends in England
I feel I may be of some assistance
to her.
I do not believe anything is duty
free, but the most reasonable articles
to send are silver things which only
carry 35 per cent duty on the value
of the article. China, 45 per cent
duty and all goods embroidered in
any way, 90 per cent. Should you
wish for further infdfenation I
suggest you call the United States

HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS.
(From Mrt. D. E„ Churehton, ME.)
Have any of you new mothers used
a >4 measuring spoon for feeding
your babies? I’ve used one for both
of mine and it’s so much easier and
less messy because you can get the
whole bowl in his mouth. And have
you ever used the pad pants that
are used with the disposable dia
pers? I used the disposables and
found them most satisfactory until
the babies got too big. Then I folded
a cloth diaper to fit the pad pants,
and they’re wonderful! His clothes
keep dry, and yet there’s no chafing
as the air circulates freely at the
sides which are open.
I have been using the liquid de
tergent for my dishes for months
now, and wouldn’t go back to
soap for anything. It really is
wonderful. However, it’s such a
grease solvent that if you wash
metal skillets in it, it takes the
seasoning out. So I wash them in
my rinse water which by then con
tains a slight amount of the de
tergent, but not enough to unseason
the skillet. This detergent is perfect
for washing the babies bottles, too,
leaves them sparkling.
The easiest way to clean stiver
is with any water softener made
of trisodium phosphate. One well
known brand comes in a red box.
Just put silver In an aluminum pan
with a solution of hot water and
softener. About a tablespoon to a
gallon, and unless the silver is very
tarnished it only takes a minute or
two. Rinse in clear water and dry.
Works better with sterling than
plated silver.
Another time saver is liquid
starch. It is so easy, and for any one
who has only a few pieces to starch
it is a blessing.
I make all sorts of flavored des
serts with plain gelatin. Using %
cup of grape juice, or a cup of apri
cot nector or any other juice or com
bination and adding mixed fruit,
shredded coconut or marshmallows
cut up (use scissors) or all three,
you can make gelatin desserts that
are tastier than the packaged
flavors. Using a half cup of strong
coffee in making packaged vanilla
pudding makes a delicious dessert,
too.
May I add a quotation that comes
to my mind everytime a bitter pro
and con battle is waged in RCH:
“Tolerance is so dear to me that
I would sacrifice for it even the
sweetest of beliefs.”

On April 10, with a great deal of
ceremony there opened a very un
usual house at 217 East Forty-ninth
street in New York City. It is the
House of Italian Handicrafts. On
display are collections of glassware,
ceramics, pottery, sculpture, woods,
textiles, lingerie, bags and children’s
fashions.
For centuries the Italian artisan
has been held in high esteem for his
excellent workmanship. The House
of Italian Handicrafts has been
originated to help present-day
Italian artisans on the road to
economic recovery. This, it is hoped,
will come about by the display of
the Italian handicrafts and a steady
flow of information between Italian
craftsmen and American firms. In
charge of all of the House activities
is Gertrude Allen Dinsmore, direc
tor of trade relations. Co-operating
are many American importers. The
small craftsman, the independent
artist and industries in all parts of
Italy will benefit from this program.
The American market to date has
shown great demand for such
articles.
Clever utilization of material
available has resulted in newer and
freer forms of expression in the de
sign of the handicrafts. There has
been a fresh departure from set
forms and materials used for cer
tain objects. In the House of Italian
Handicrafts one may see modern
Venetian glassware by Vamsa of
Murano, and decorative pottery
figures by Persillipo of Naples. In
the treatment of woods the Italian
artist is almost unsurpassable.
Beautifully carved and highly pol
ished are the pieces displayed.
Pictured are several items that
may be seen at the House. Executed

Quantity Cookery
By Violet Faulkner
There comes a time when you’re
asked to serve on the committee of
a church supper, club dinner, or
perhaps It’s a community party to
welcome some new neighbors.
The first question that usually
pops into your mind on such an
occasion is how to plan efficiently
and how much food you need to
serve, say, a hundred people. An
other important question is whether
the affair is purely social or for
the purpose of raising funds. If for
the latter, you will need to plan
your menu with that thought in
mina since you mu want to serve
a satisfactory meal but one to
insure a profit.
Whatever the occasion, you need
to check on several items before a
workable plan can be made. For
example, how many people can be
accommodated in the available
space; are there enough chairs,
tables, china, silver and glassware;
what about kitchen facilities; how
many people will help with the
preparations and serving? If the
affair is for profit, check where the
food may be purchased at the lowest
cost. With your committee discuss
the best method of serving the
group; that will depend largely on
the size of the room or wherever
the dinner is to be held. Cafeteria
style is always a good plan and
eliminates the problem of waiters;
it speeds up serving as well. If you
decide the people are to be “waited
on,” arrange tables conveniently
and assign certain waiters to definite
♦ ftW At<
The menu is your next considera
tion. Plan it with a thought on eye
appeal, contrast of color, texture
and flavor of the food, correct com
binations and the ability of the
cooks to turn out good food. Avoid
unusual or exotic foods for a large
crowd; it is safer to stick to the old
favorites. Then, of course, remem
ber to keep the meal reasonably
simple so the overhead won’t eat up
all the profits. Following is a menu1
that might be used for a church i
supper or similar affair with recipes j
that are sufficient to serve 50 people.

What’s YOUR Hobby?
By Betty Miles
Good pictures are made, sot
taken, according to Washington
Workshop theory, it isn’t a matter
of sayinf, "That looked good before
I shot it, but it just didn’t work
out.’’ The picture should be made
to conform to the image of it in the
photographer’s mind. Planned mas
terpieces. not accidental ones, are
the goal of the Workshop.
The amateur photographers who
take to their camera at night are
housewives, business women, gov
ernment workers by day. One of the
students, Miss Teresa McDermott,
of Washington, is a teacher in a
local junior high school. She has
been taking photography seriously
for nine years, and is especially
fond of taking children’s pictures.
She likes the spontaneity of children
ana tne iact that their pictures
don't have to be retouched.
Mias McDermott talked to us
while •‘making" » picture of a fel
low student at the Workshop. Lights
were turned on and off, the student
was approached from a variety of
angles as she worked to achieve a
portrait that would catch his mood
and personality. In the adjoining
darkroom others developed prints.
Under the leadership of Mr. Rud
yard Boulton, students learn to
master the technique of photo
graphy, and then forget it. In a
sense, it’s like getting the “breath
control” of photography. It’s quite
easy to get so enmeshed in the
technique that the creative part of
picture making Is overlooked. And
good pictures, according to the
Workshop Idea, are made when the
picture Itself and not the mwh.ntr.
of taking it, Is In the foreground.
Workshop picture-makers believe
that superb technique doesn’t mnir*
a superb picture. An artistic appre
ciation and good taste do that
Practice is employed as the device
for making perfect. A few spoiled
prints or a few excellent ones, are
deemed better teachers than a
formal lecture.

In order to Improve their work
the students keep records of the
emulsion used, the exposure, end
the technique employed. Whether
the picture turns out good or bed,
e record Is available as an explana
tion of how it “got that way."
The same subjects used in paint
ing can be used effectively in pho
tography. Landscapes, portraits and
still life are subjected to the shut
ter. When the Citizens' Council far
Community Planning sponsored its
“Pictures Talk Housing" contest.
Workshop students were on hand.
Trips to Georgetown and other in
teresting Washington spots are
made also.
Interesting, too, is the taking of
photograms. It’s done like this:
A pattern is created on paper. It
may be achieved very simply, such
aa amndno* a email nnia KaaW avul
pencil in a certain way. The paper
used is sensitive, and the picture
is made by exposing the paper to
light. There is no camera used.
The finished picture is not of a
notebook and a pencil lying on a
piece of paper. It is a picture of
the pattern created by the shadows
thrown by the objects on the paper.
The effect Is comparable to the
abstract in painting and in danc
ing. Photograms are widely used
at the Chicago School of Design.
The beginner in photography can
manage with a small box camera.
If he wants to go into serious pio
ture taking, he’ll need more expen
sive equipment Dark rooms can
be rigged up with comparative ease
at home, giving the photographer
an opportunity to follow his work
through from start to finish.
Two new classes, designed for
both the beginner and the ad
vanced student, will start at the
Workshop on April 21. The Work
shop is located at 2020 Massachu
setts avenue N.W.
