New Ideas for the Home
I_ ■■ -■ . _
Between marketman and house
keeper there’s frequently a little
game to see who can do the string
bean test first. If the marketman
does it, he gives a sharp snap in
the middle of the bean, and presto,
there’s no sign of a string. If it’s
the housekeeper who knows her
business, she very gently pulls off
the tip end of the bean. That’s
the infallible test, because whatever
vestige of string there is will surely
be exposed in this way.
There are all sorts of reasons why
we ought to eat plenty of string
beans. They are classed as "greens’
for one thing (and therefore almost
as important as lettuce or spinach
in the diet), but being of the bean
family, they also have a certain pro
tein value, and are. in their wray,
as nutritious as meat.
As far as food value i? concerned,
it really doesn’t matter whether
beans are stringless or not. Of
course, the coarser the string, the
older the bean, and the longer cook
ing required. But the flavor and
the nutritive value are excellent and
by using the correct cooking meth
ods you can buy fresh string beans
from the beginning of the season
when they are small and quite
stringless, to the end when no ma
nipulation can disguise the presence
of the string.
| There is a difference of opinion
a as to when you should string beans.
^ The usual method is to wash the
-an in cold water. Cut off each tip.
tpg the string with it. Then
^ "“pfc several housekeepers
l^ta. <hat this takes more time.
\ so doesn’t always remove the
K string, than if the cutting

p'.y j^wash your string beans, put
in cClr enough boiling water to cov
er, laid cook until tender, which
may take anywhere from 20 to 45
minutes. Then remove from the
fire, drain into a bowl and set aside
to cool for a few moments, after
——— ... ■ ■ .. , , J
which you can pick up each bean
and string it with ease, and the cer
tainty that every bit of string will
come off.
Or, if you are willing to put in
some extra work for the sake of
delicate texture, you can “French”
the string beans. Wash the raw
beans, trim off tips and string, then
slit lengthwise. Thus prepared the
beans cook more quickly to tender
ness, and they are very delicate in
texture, and have the shape of Ju
lienne potatoes. But it is extra
work preparing them that way.

String Beans in Cream
1 pound of string beans.
1-2 cup of cream,
1-2 teaspoon salt,
1-8 teaspoon pepper.
Cook the stringbeans in only
enough water to cover, and test
from time to time for tenderness.
When ready, drain (and if you I
have been careful about using very
little water there should be practi
cally no juice to discard). Put the
drained beans into a saucepan over
a small fire. Add the cream and
blend with a fork until heated
through, then add salt and pepper,
put in a hot bowl and serve at once.
Pungent String Beans
1 pound of string beans,
1 pound of tomatoes,
1 onion.
1-2 lemon.
1-2 teaspoon salt.
1-8 teaspoon ginger.
1 tablespoon butter or bacon fat
Melt the fat and add the sliced
onion, then the tomatoes and when
hot, add the raw, washed beans.
Cover and cook until tender, then
add the grated lemon rind, lemon
juice and other seasonings. The to
■ matoes should be juicy enough to
cook the string beans, but look at
: the saucepan occasionally and add
water if it goes dry.
If I Were 1 If I Were
A Man— * A Girl—
... By JILL ■■■■ .. By JACK —..
I WOULDN’T try out every girl’
I met to sea how far she’d let
me go.
I wouldn’t etart every new ac
quaintance with the single, solitary’
purpose of get
ting away with
as much as I
possibly could
without being
arrested. I,
wouldn’t make
veiled remarks
that could be In
terpreted two
ways if a girl
felt so Inclined,
and keep lightly touchnig her hand
or her knee or her arm. as if by ac
cident, to see whether or not she was
going to object.
Instead of depending on her to
supply the ideals and set the pace I
was to follow, I’d have a few ideals
of my own. And I’d try to live up
to them of my own accord instead
of waiting until I’d been slapped in
the face.
A girl who doesn't care has ways
•f letting a man know. Until she
did. I’d give her the benefit of the
doubt. A girl gets tired at demon
strating her deoency all the time.
She likes to have it taken for
granted occasionally.
n WOULDN'T overdo the family
act.
I’d rely on my own charms.
Instead of bringing family pressure
to bear. I'd wait until the boy
friend showed he wanted to be one
of’the family, before I invited himi
around to dinner to meet Aunti !
Sophie, Uncle Dan and Cousin Hat-1
tie. * )
I wouldn't drag him around to !
Aunt Mary’s for Sunday dinner, or ;
suggest on the way home from the
movies that we drop in and call on
Uncle Jim. When he came to see
me, I wouldn't call in papa and.
mama to help me entertain him.
No man wants to be clutched to
the bosom of a girl’s family, until
he's good and
ready, and. If he
has any sense,
he’s going to
take to his heels
and make a
permanent d e -
parture when he
finds himself be
ing roped into
matrimony b y
that old ruse.
After all, girls
ought to remem
ber that when a
man’s Intentions
are matrimonial, ha doesn't need any
family pressure to bring him to tha
point.
Many a man has married a girl
in spite of her family—not because,
of it, - -
