Here ‘Are Two Choice Recipes For Those Holiday Eggnogs

THERE'S STILL some sentiment tn this world, thank goodness Even though there are those of us who regard the punch bowl as a quaint curio, about’ as: obsolete as the mustache cup, there are still those of us .white-Christmas-wishers who delight in the traditional bowl of cheer.

Here's a recipe from the December

Esquire which helps to explain why

Marylanders bow to none in their nogging:

Baltimore Eggnog

Take 1 dozen fresh eggs, 1 dozen tablespoons’ granulated sugar, 1 pint best Bourbon whiskey, 1 pint heavy- . bodied bouquet rum, 1 wineglass peach cordial, 1 quart milk, 1 quart cream and grated nutmeg. Segregate egg yolks, beat them and add to them the sugar, working it in gradually; then half of the milk. Still’ stirring, insert the whiskey and the rum. Let stand 15 minutes or so; then add the other half of the milk, the cream, the peach cordial. ; The whites of the eggs, which have ‘undergone a separate lashing till stiff, are now neatly folded into the mixture, which gets a light shower of nutmeg as a send-off. A lovely thing to ladle, truly, and still more so to inhale. Yet the , competition it has to buck is terrific, from ‘way back. For example, in Colonial Wilkiamsburg there has flourished a super-luxury version running thus: Old Virginia Eggnog Take 12 eggs, 214 cups granulated sugar, 1 quart finest brandy, 1 pint Jamadiea rum, rich and ripe, and 1 gallon heavy cream. Beat the 12 yolks relentlessly, adding the granulated sugar, then al- ' ternate shots of the brandy and rum till full amounts are incorporated. Then three-fourths of the heavy cream and, foldingly,::-half of the egg whites, ‘prebeaten in a side dish. Beat up other half’ of egg whites stiffer than’stiff, adding to them the cup of powdered sugar, plus (lightly stirred in) the other quart of cream, and fold this sideshow into the main show. Twelve hours’ rest in a cool place of safety will be beneficial,

Brighten Up with Chintz

THERE ARE many ingenious ways to brighten up the home at almost no cost. One of them is with washable, permanent-finish chintz which is as practical and serviceable as it is inexpensive. "For instance: Cover the head and base boards of an old bed with chintz, either by tacking or pasting it down,

Reclaim an uninteresting lamp by making a new shade of chintz.

Do your closets proud by covering your hangers, hat and blanket boxes, shoe bags and garment bags in the bedroom.

* Make a gay screen that repeats the chintz used in your room. ,

Cover some inexpensive waste- * baskets in gay florals or stripes.

Keep a scrapbook covered with

chintz on display as a repeat note.

Tack striped chintz to the border of a mirror in a‘bedroom.

If your drapes are plain, dramatize them with flowered chintz window shades; or vice versa.

Repeat your fabric in the skirt of your dressing table.

~ The Question Box

Q—When laundering lavender and orchid curtains, what can I add to

the water so that they will keep ‘their color?

A—Soak the curtains in a solu-

until the desired color is obtained.

Q—How can a housewife determine the purity of olive oil? A—There are numerous tests, but none is simple enough to .be performed by a layman at home. They all require special equipment and some knowledge of chemistry. Pure olive oil can be bought from reputable dealers,

Q—Should a food grinder he oiled?

A—Yes, with glycerine.

Q—Please give me a recipe for a solution for washing badly soiled furniture.

A—To 1 quart of hot water, add

and 1 tablespoon of turpentine, and keep it in a double boiler while using. First, wash the wood with a soft cloth dipped in the solution and then polish it with a dry cloth. Furniture polish may be used for a

final polishing. . /

produce blossoms of .inferior shape and color? What should I do for them? A—Evidently the rosebush was budded on to a wild rose stock, and the budded portion has been winterkilled or destroyed by a cankerous growth. The only thing to do is to replace the bush with another. The wild stock is easily distinguished by its 7 to 9 leaflets, compared with the 5 leaflets of the cultivated rose.

Plastic Place Mats

NOVEL PLACE mats make individual table settings. Of a new plastic material—which may be cleaned by merely wiping off with a damp cloth —are several series of unusual and distinctive designs which would make exciting Christmas gifts. For an informal setting, mats of single vegetables or fruits, realistic in shape and color, are bright and gay. For more formal settings are mats of clear, transparent plastic with delicate conventionalized leaf border designs in gold or green or white and gray. There are special series for children, too—replicas of toys or scenes from favorite nursery rhymes on transparent plastic. °

Wise Santa Says:

mind about what kind of Christmas

Yes, things to wear are what women want to find under the tree on Christmas morning. However, sad though it is, many a woman is going to be disappointed. Too many Santa Clauses—in an effort to show great originality—will go around stuffing Christmas stockings with strange gadgets for the mantel, queer ashtrays that won’t hold ashes, clocks with well-camou-flaged faces that can’t be seen across the room, pictures that are supposed to mean something but don’t, and a ducky assortment of paper weights and other non-wear-ables that will stay in their original boxes on a closet shelf for years. Those Santa Clauses who still are old-fashioned enough to think it important to give every woman on their lists. something she honestly wants will be pleased to know that collections of American-made gloves in all stores feature plain pull-ons as beautiful and as easy to wash as any imported gloves ever made. For evening, pastel doeskin gloves with inserts of finest black lace are news. Quilted silk satin bootees ' with zipped fastenings are bedroom slippers with an original slant. So are red cotton and silk mules with peaked, Oriental toes. A black lace mantilla to keep an evening coiffure smooth can @double as a scarf. A twisted turban and matching bag

please any woman you know. So will a candy-striped bed jacket of silk sheer with frog fastenings.

IN the underwear category. the chemise is highlighted for the first time in years. .The woman who does not like to wear slips would love a chemise—particularly a white satin one with lace-trimmed V neckline and panty bottom, ‘Smartest lace-trimmed slip of the season is a tearose satin with a wide band of lace set in at the waistline and the shoulder straps edged with matching lace. Smartest tailored slip is of white silk crepe with a satin monogram ten inches high across the front. Printed silk nightgowns with quilted bed jackets of matching print are popular. A‘ set which includes a printed nightgown ‘and a dressing gown of plain material, lined with print to match the gown, is the gift de luxe.

First Lady Is Named Leading Feminist

Women’s Congress Hears Mrs. Catt

NEW YORK, Nov. 27 (U. P)./— Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt was named America’s number one feminine success yesterday by Carrie Chapman Catt, veteran suffragette, speaking before the Woman’s Centennial Congress. According to Mrs. Catt, in 1840 there were only seven occupations open to women—jobs ranging from maid to boarding house keeper. Today, she said, there are at least 100 occupations, and in listing them

Give a Woman

Something to Wear This Year

By MARIAN YOUNG Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—There shouldn’t be much doubt in a man’s

gifts a woman likes. Just give her

something to wear—and you'll be right nine times out of 10. Probably no woman on your gift list has too many pairs of white kid or doeskin gloves, enough silk slips and nightgowns, too many handmonogrammed handkerchiefs, stockings, bed jackets and bedroom Shippers.

wool to elaborate metal sheaths with redingotes of lace. Brand new is an ankle-length housecoat of fleecy wool blanket cloth, inspired

by a native South American costume. It has sloping shoulders, and a full skirt, and comes in vivid green or brilliant fuchsia-pink. For the sportswoman, handkerchiefs with corded borders are much larger than the regular women’s size, but smaller than the usual men’s size. Newest, however, is the tiny, lace-edged square which is a new-fashioned revival of the oldfashioned glove handkerchief. It's to be tucked into the opening of dress-up gloves which button. In jewelry, consider the chatelaine necklace with detachable chatelaine pendant that may be worn on the lapel; another lapel gadget that consists of three little angels, strung together with a gold chain; a rope of pearls 150 inches long; a heavy gold bracelet with her monogram deeply carved across it.

feminine Government officials, a large group of doctors and professors, social service workers, engineers, writers and lawyers. Among ‘a group of women® whose honored occupations were listed as “miscellaneous”’ were three policewomen—Capt. Rhoda Milliken and Sergt.

have to reckon with soon. Others in the round table panel, conducted by Mrs. Roosevelt included: Dorothy Belanca, vice president of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America; Pearl Buck, novelist; Mrs. Anne O'Hare McCormick, editorial writer for the New York Times; Dr. Eveline Burns of the Columbia University faculty; Mrs. Crystal B. Fauset, negro legislator; Dr. Margaret Mead, anthropologist; Marian Martin, chairman of women's activities in the Republican Party; Mrs. Thomas McAllister, chairman of women’s activities in the Democratic Party; Mary Winslow, U. S. Representative on the Inter-American Council of Women, and Mrs. Raymond Sayre of the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation. Discuss Women’s Place

Opening with a discussion of woman’s place in the world Dr. Burns brought out that women were now producers, consumers and members of society as well as women, It was time, she said, that women realized the need for action as citizens. “Women must come out of the study hall into the arena,” Miss Winslow added in regard to the need for action. She declared that what women needed today was not to look back on how far they had come in the last 100 years—but to consider what they were going to do in the next 100 days. Miss Buck suggested that women's organizations should be abolished. While it was agreed that some sort of action was necessary, there was no decision made on what sort of action.

JANE JORDAN

3 h - » y DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a married woman and have a 7-months-old child. Here is my“problem. My husband won't leave his

relatives alone but he wants me to leave mine alone.

He has had

three jobs since we have been married and has lost two of them because his people kept calling up to say his mother was sick. The third job he quit because he had an ear ache. His mother" is sick and they want him home all of the time. ’ People say he is no good but I stick to him because I think I could make something out of him if his people would let him alone. If they didn’t want him to marry why did they go with him to get the license? I wonder if you could tell me what to do. My people want me to leave him as I could have a nice home with them and bring my baby up right. Please nelp me. D. 8.

#4 8

Answer—I admire you very much for not giving up your marriage because things are going wrong. After all you have your child to consider and your husband may grow up in time. Changes may occur in his family which will release him from so many demands and enable him to devote himself to his wife and child instead. At present he is stuck in a phase of childhood where parents still represent authority to him. He is bound by ties of affection and duty and does not know how to subordinate them to his new responsibil-

ities.

It was not necessary for him to quit his job because he had

an ear ache since all firms give time off to employees for medical attion. This is what happens when men remain little boys at a period in life when they should show more mature judgment. It is too bad that you have to live near either of your families. Granted that your family has a right to object to your husband’s be=havior but it won’t help the situation any for them to take you back home to live. ; A far better plan is to encourage you to help your hus=-

band with his problems.

Encourage him to be firm with his mother and insist on no tele=-

phone calls during business hadurs,

After business ‘hours do every=

thing’ within reason to help him fulfill his filial duty, even at per-

sonal sacrifice to your own right to his time,

Remember he can't

break away all at once without suffering from overwhelming feelings

of guilt.

One step at a time is about all he can handle and the first

step certainly should. .safe-guard his work, You should be firm with his family and keep them face to face with the facts. You can tell them in a kind, way that they must

not interfere with your husband's jobs. you're firm enough they'll respect your decisions.

at any time.

They won't like it but if You can't waver

Try to keep in sympathy with your husband even while you insist that his first duty is to work for his wife and child. This training should have come from his own mother but since it did not you'll

have to see what you can do by yourself,
