Over the Back Fence
By Isabel Hackett
The youngest teen-ager had a Friday evening date of a startling
nature. The young man had called up to say he couldn’t spot a
decent movie anywhere, and how about his simply coming over to
spend the evening? We said it was a wonderful idea, approved the
young man as showing unusual perspicacity and Judgment for one so
young, and promised exclusive use of the living room and radio.
“Don’t keep popping in and out looking for things,” said the
Youngest One. We determined to be a very modem parent, glimpsed
only fleetingly, and not heard at all.
Any teen-ager, entertaining a date at home, faces th^ problem
of what to do with parents. In our own dating days, of course,
parents simply went with the house as accepted fixtures, like the door
knocker or the kitchen stove. They sat around awhile with the
young people, chatting pleasantly about the weather, school or
church affairs, and books, retiring after a plate of fudge and a
pitcher of lemonade had been passed around. If the young man
stayed too late, there were generally accepted methods of calling his
attention to the time. One was for a parent to re-enter the living
room to look for some missing article, needed immediately. We still
remember our anguish on one occasion when a search was begun at
11:30 for a box of golf tees. It worked, from the parental viewpoint,
but not from ours, because the caller, a handsome and sensitive
youth, never came again.
The youngest one suggested that the family provider might
like to take us to a neigborhood movie. The F. P. said if the
available movies were so bad even the high school crowd was staying
away, he wasn’t going. We phoned several neighbors, to whom we
owed a call; they were all, out. We promised the Youn|est One that
we would stay very quietly back in the study, and not be the least
trouble. We greeted the young man briefly and retired, closing the
door ostentatiously.
The F. P. lighted a big fire to take off the chill. We settled down
cosily, thinking my, this is fine, here are the young people right at
home, instead of racing around dangerously in a car, wasting time
and money on poor movies. The small room grew warmer. The F. P.
took off his coat, then his vest, as the temperature rose to 85 degrees
or so, and stayed there. Storm windows were still up. If we opened
the door to cool off, we might be seen from the living room, sitting
close by like proper, old-fashioned parents, which would never do. We
wanted to make a good impression on any youth who had sense
enough to prefer an evening in our living room to a dull movie. The
least slip on our part might prevent a repetition. We Just sat and si
lently sweltered till it was late enough to go to bed.
Our cozy evening in the study ended with a hushed but heated
argument with the F. P., who said he wasn’t ready to go to bed yet,
he wanted to finish a book, and by the way, where was his pipe? We
said the pipe was probably somewhere in the living room, but he
couldn’t go rummaging around for ft. He asked plaintively why one
of us couldn’t go into our own living room for an article essential to
his comfort? We tried to explain that it might be misunderstood
by the young man if he went info the living room at 11:30 to look for,
of all things, a pipe.
The F. P. decided if he couldn’t liave his pipe, he would go to
bed too. This procedure, we hope, scotched the charge that we are
Old Fashioned Parents. The F. P. never understood clearly, we fear,
why he could not hunt for his pipe in the living room. Our firm ob
jection was due, of course, to vivid recollection of a late-evening
search many years ago, in another living room, for golf tees.

The Oldest One is back in college, after a week's spring vaca
tion at home. The effects of Higher Education are becoming evident.
The Oldest One is now prepared to discuss with any one such topics
as the ideologies of socialism, capitalism and communism; taxation
Inflation, and international trade policies; the philosophy of Exist
entialism: and symbolism in modem art and literature. She still
reads the funnies, however, and is concerned over the Nat’s baseball
prospects for the coming season.
We have the impression that the Oldest One considers home a
pleasant place where late morning sleeping and unlimited eating is
permitted, where you can keep the radio on all day, and get clothes
mended by somebody else, but which is somewhat lacking in intellec
tual stimulus and cultural atmosphere. We hope to remedy these
defects as fast as possible. We’ve already read half of the 47-page in
troduction to Toynbee’s scholarly "Study of History,” which is six
volumes condensed into one solid—very solid—book. We plan also
to listen intently to a symphony now and then as we dust furniture.

Nation-wide observance of Be Kind to Animals Week is now
concluded, so people can relax and treat animals any old way. We
heard of one dramatic incident which occurred last week, involving a
dachshund and. appropriately enough, a badger. The dachshund
went headlong into a tight-fitting badger hole on a country estate,
found it impossible to shift into reverse, and got stuck. The owner’s
family and their house guest, a college student from whom we had
the story, tried for half an hour to help the struggling animal to
back out of the hole, but found her tail inadequate to pull on with
effectiveness. She was finally excavated In one piece after some
delicate work with a trowel. Our friend, a physics major, said he
felt challenged to think of some scientific way to get the dog out,
but couldn’t think of a thing. He thought he helped some in the
final stages of the rescue by standing nearby and making a noise like
another dachshund.

A gentleman called us on the phone recently to announce with
quiet exuberance that the new Encyclopedia Britannica has just been
released. He paused for this to sink in, while we pictured the
Encyclopedia, confined for goodness knows how long, straining at its
tether, finally released as thousands cheered. We pictured also the
gentleman waiting, pencil poised, to take our order for a set.
You can't just say flatly you aren’t Interested in buying a new
Encyclopedia. It’s like saying you aren’t interested in human progress,
culture, or education. We were obviously on a selected list of families
known to be interested in the higher things of life, who were being
personally notified of the event by telephone. Our house, however,
is so full of furniture, people, and their assorted belongings, that
there is no room for a set of the Britannica.
The salesman was probably tapping his pencil impatiently. We
slid out of the situation in the only way we know, saying we would
talk it over with the P. P. that very evening. He turned out to be
no help at all in thinking up an acceptable reason for not buying an
Encyclopedia Britannica. We have a small, handy set of Funk and
Wagnall's Standard, he pointed out. However, the WASH-ZYZYN
volume seems to be lost; we could, he suggested, tell the Britannica
salesman we’d take just the final volume, please.

BROWN SUGAR CRUMB CAKE.
(From. Mr. J. A. S. R., Hpmdon.)
I believe Mrs. P. J. D. refers
to Cowboy Cake, so here it is:
Dump 2% cups flour, 2 cups brown
sugar, teaspoon salt and % cup
shortening in a bowl. Rub or beat
thoroughly until the mess has been
worried to fine crumbs. Set aside
reverently, % cup of the mixture for
future consideration. To what’s left
add 2 teaspoons baking powder and
Vt teaspoon each of nutmeg, cin
namon, and bakin’ sody, well
blended. Beat a couple eggs until
they yell “uncle,” add to one cup of
sour milk, or fresh milk contam
inated with a bit of lemon Juice or
vinegar, and piously stir into the
dry mixture until smooth as the skin
you love to touch. The fact that it
now looks like pancake batter with
brick dust added is purely coinci
dental, so gently spread the goo
into two greased cake tins. Now
rescue the aforesaid % cup of stuff
and spread it with loving hands
over the batter. A bit more cin
namon and a few chopped nut
meats won’t hurt it at all. Pop into
oven at 375 degrees and forget it
for 20 minutes or so. At this point
if you have company, tell ’em to go
home, otherwise a smell is all you’ll
get. The lady-who-likes-to-stay-in

SUGGESTIONS FOR
SMORGASBORD.
(From M. J. F„ Cheverly.)
Since Smorgasbord is literally
translated sandwich table, it can be
that, as a starter and added to end
lessly according to the number to be
served. Here is simple menu plat
ter canapes.
"Sll salad” (herring salad) an
orange, grapefruit or apple with
pickles, radishes, olives stuck into
it on toothpicks. Tray of Gouda

One casserole of corn pudding or
one of escalloped potatoes.
One casserole of rice pudding,
which is eaten as a vegetable with
this type meal.
Fruit soup is traditional dessert.
Coffee cake, cookies and coffee.
A Smorgasbord is not worthwhile
for less than 10 people. On the
other hand it is an easy way to feed
a large number since many things
can be prepared a day or more be
forehand and much of it can be
found already prepared at the del
icatessan.
Substitutes: Smoked 'white fish,
boned and cut into 2-inch pieces.
Ham or any cold cuts may be
formed into comocopias and filled
with cole slaw, "lax” salt salmon.
“Lax lada” fresh or canned salmon
casserole.
"Bruna honor” brown beans, kid
ney beans.
"Potatio Kow” potato sausage.
"Kalv Dans” calf’s dans Jellied
veal mold.
Kalv Dans—Jellied Veal: Three
pounds veal forequarter with some
bones, l'/2 quarts water, lti tea
spoons salt, 1 bay leaf, 1 teaspoon
pepper. 2 tablespoons vinegar,
stuffed olives halved. Boil veal slow
ly, skim occasionally until meat can
be removed from bones and flaked
easily. Chop fine, strain broth, com
bine and boil a few minutes. Keep
kettle uncovered so it boils down.
Cool slightly and pour into wet
molds with olives on the bottom.
More can be placed around edges.
Thin slices of radishes, pimiento or
green pepper may be used in place
of or in addition to olives. Unmold
just before serving.
Bruna Bonor—brown beans: Five
cups kidney beans. 12 cups water, 2
tablespoons margarine or butter, 1
tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon vine
gar, 2 tablespoons sugar. Cook
beans in water for two hours. Add
the other ingredients.

pound ground top round, 2 cups
boiled rice, 1 egg, 12 large cabbage
leaves, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1% tea
spoons salt, pepper to taste. Par

rest of ingredients. Put heaped
tablespoon on each leaf and fasten
closely with toothpicks. Roll in
flour, brown on all sides. Place in
baking dish. Add one cup water to
frying pan and when this comes to
a boil pour it into baking dish over
rolls. Add 4 peppercorns. Bake 350
degrees one hour. (Other recipes add

MAKING BEDSPREAD
(From Mrs. J. B. C., Washington.)
Mrs. P. O. W. of Washington may
make a double bedspread of two
single bedspreads, as follows: Split
one of the spreads through the
middle and use the two strips to
piece the sides of the other spread.
The strip>s may be attached by using
a narrow strip of contrasting ma
terial to join each strip to the large
cover, using more of the contrast
ing to trim the spread in some
fanciful design. Or, the spread
might be cut into three strips of
equal width and used as a ruffle on
each side of the large spread. A bit
of ingenuity will suggest other
treatments. Care must be exer
cised to see that the proportions of
the spread are kept for the bed for
which the spread is intended.

PAPER VS. PAINT.
FORMULA STAINS.
(From Mrs. F. M., Arlington.)
For some time I’ve been mean
ing to answer the inquiry of the
reader who was interested in the
advantages of papering over paint -
| ing, but doing my sewing for my
four sons has kept me busy.
We live in a rented house, and
while we wanted the rooms clean
<inu auiacuvc we eouiu see no au
I vantage in using the cold water
paint which had originally been
used on the walls. This paint shows
every smear, will not wash too well,
and is hard to care for where there
are small children.
We used the new type paper
which is pre-pasted and needs only
to be dipped in water, and we were
more than pleased with the results.
The paper is washable, colorful,
and comes in a package contain
ing a matching border as well as
complete instructions.
We preferred the plain paper in
one room and since there was no
absolutely plain paper, we used the
ceiling pattern, which is plain and
comes in ivory or white. We then
bought a separate colorful border.
Since our bedroom furniture has,
been enameled a glossy black with
bright flower decals, and our wall
pictures are bright and framed in
black, the effect was pleasing.
The coet is about $6 for the aver
age room, although our ceilings
were clean and painted so we did
not paper them and thereby the
cost was about $4.50 per room.
Since we have a new baby, I was
pleased to know about the way to
remove formula stains. When my
triplet, sons were small I inquired
of many people about this but never
knew until recently that household
ammonia or commercial shampoo
(applied before laundering) were
very effective for the removal of
formula stains on baby clothes.
Commercial shampoo is affective in
removing cod liver oil stains also.
I really look forward to sitting
down to reading RCH in the eve- j
ning. It has been more than help
ful. Let’s keep it co-operative and
leave the squabbling to the other
columns. ROH is much too nice to
spoil!

TO MEASURE SHORTENING;
CHINESE RECIPES?
(From A. L. G., Arlington.)
To measure firm shortening, sub-'
tract fraction (of cupful) required
from 1 cup, and put that much
cold water in measuring cup. Add
shortening, pressing it down under
the water to remove air pockets,
until water reaches rim of cup and
all shortening is submerged. Pour
off water. The remaining shorten
ing is correctly measured.
Can any reader snpply Chinese
recipes? My favorites are sweet
and pungent pork and egg rolls,
but others would also be welcome.

The Beauty
Roundup
By Eleni
The pictured lass is trying to
“snare” her man. But we are di
recting this copy to you gals who
are happily entertaining thoughts
of a wedding in April, May, June
or July. Or for that matter to all
who have thoughts of a wedding at
SOME date. I guess that covers
about all of us women!
Of all of the times in her life
when she wants to really look lovely
—a woman’s wedding day probably
heads the list. On that day she is
the center of attraction. On that
day it is sincerely hoped—she
DOESN’T drastically change her
hairdo to resemble either a zulu or
a little lulu. In fact, the changing
of a hairdo can have almost any
result—from the sublime to the ri
diculous! But don’t let your date
at the church be the proving
grounds for things new.
I remember the time I decided to
change my hairstyle—not for a
wedding—but just to change it from
a nice, long bob to a nice, fat sau
sage roll placed squarely atop my
head. My escort for the evening
called for me. All during the eve
ning he stared at me. First in
amazement, then with a somewhat
hurt look. Towards the end of the
evening after everybody who passed
the table had smiled a bit in pass
ing he couldn’t restrain himself any
longer and he blurted out “Please
warn me, Eleni, the next time you
want to try something new out on
mall* ▼ V.»
was, "Let me know and I’ll make
myself awfully busy that night.”
And that, dear ladies, shall we say,
cured me! Now, that’s not saying
you’ll all get the same effect. But
it might serve as a warning to some
of you. Even a beauty editor has
to learn by the “trial and error”
method.
There are very few men who will
confess that they like the steady
dose of metal crimpers, pins, and
black fish nets that many of their
mates are guilty of wearing at any
time of the day or night.
Mister Paul, the well-known hair
stylist in New York, claims that
“there would be happier marriages
if women were not careless about
their hairdos after their bridal day."
He also states that the hair at bed
time should be free of all metal
clamps. For your nightly coif brush
your hair away from your face, tie
it with dainty velvet bows if it must
be anchored down. If your hair is
long then braid it in "sweetgirl
fashion.”
The bedtime coif is important but
it is the breakfast time hair styling
that makes many a man bury his
head in his newspaper. One doesn’t
blame them, knowing full well
how untidy some women look at
breakfast time. This breakfast coif
is easy to accomplish and it is one
that will send friend hubby off to
work with a lovely idea of what "his”
wife looks like in the morning.
After he goes to the office is time
enough to set it. In the meantime
comb your hair in a soft, fluffy, and
casual manner and breakfast time
may have a little conversation at
tending it.
Another tip Mr. Paul gives is that
women ought to ask their hairstyl
ist just how to manage their hair
style. “Too many women make the
big mistake of having their hair
styled for their bridal day without
learning to manage it themselves,”
he says. It’s only a five minute job
to find out—and it is one that will
later save you time and money.

Why Grow Old?
By Josephine Lowman
—•v* j vju auu a iioyc
heard the question of whether
women dress for men or for women.
It is difficult to know where the
truth lies. Not long ago I asked
this question of a woman, famous
in her career and distinguished in
her appearance and dress and she
answered, "For both."
I believe this is the answer. The
feminine nature places most women
in competition with each other.
There are a few free soqls who ac
tually don’t give a hang if their fur
coat is poney while Mrs. Blank’s is
mink, but they are in the minority.
The majority of women feel more
secure and happier if they can keep
up with the other women they
know. This is not true of men. The
man who worries about whether his
suit is as up to date in cut, or as
rich in material, as his buddy's, is
indeed a strange number.
Therefore women do dress for
women in a certain sense. However,
I believe that the great drive for at
tractiveness which women experi
ence and which sends them scurry
ing to sales counters and causes
them to spend millions of dollars
every year for cosmetics, is due to
bucxr unconscious aesire to appear
attractive to men.
In one sense women dress for
themselves! It gives them satis
faction to look as well as they can
and soothes their ego when the
mirror reflects an alluring figure -
rather than an unattractive one.
Self respect and self confidence
are bolstered by the knowledge that
one is well turned out and the time
to worry about a woman is the
moment In which she gives vp on
personal appearance. It is the next
thing to being dead!
Women often out glamour them
selves so far as men are concerned.
The average male is frightened by
too thick a brand of allure. Never
theless. a certain amount of come on
attractiveness is essential, no matter
how sterling the qualities of one’s
character and personality may be,
because it takes time to become
known to those you meet, and a per
sonable appearance gives a woman
this opportunity.
If you wish to have my leaflet,
"Dressing to Fit Your Figure and
personality” send a stamped, self
addressed envelope with your re
quest for leaflet No. 54 to Josephine
Lowman in care of The Evening
Star.
