The Autocrat Of the Table? That's Papa!
By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Times Special Writer
“WE HAVE FUNNY buying habits at the White House,” said Mrs. Roosevelt at a press conference. “We buy anything we think the president will eat.” Now where do you suppose our first lady got the notion that such a habit was either funny or unusual?
t home in the nation where dad's preferences do not determine the daily menu. Right now this works a hardship on the housewife, because many rationing rules do not take papa’s whims into consideration. It's easier to get fresh spinach than beefsteak, and it’s still easier to prepare spinach than it is to get papa to eat it without grumbling. One reason why the point-ration-ing system can be mastered with fair efficiency by the American housewifg is the fact that she has been trained for generations to plan meals according to the sometimes peculiar eating habits of the man she happened to marry. td » f J AND THESE HABITS are often strange to the point of absurdity.
Men are more prejudiced about food than anything else. Such prejudices are usually the result of bad eating habits formed in infancy or some digestive upset in childhood. You'll hear them say, “I never eat onions,” or “Cucumbers make me ill,” or “Carrots disagree with me.” Generally the statement is an excuse for stubbornness. Should actual hunger ever overtake the individual, he would welcome these despised foods.

By BETTY MacDONALD Times Special Writes WASHINGTON, April 16.—If auy housewife in America could have been forewarned about the sudden “freezes” in rationing, it would have been Mrs. Prentiss M.: Brown, whose husband directed the entire job from behind his desk as America’s pricé administrator. But the Brown family was caught short with a half-inch slab of butter for a family of six—including a growing 8-year-old son who dotes on “bread 'n’ butter 'n’ jam’—were caught on shoe rationing, and, until the entire country knew about the meat points, Mrs. Prentiss Brown was just as much in the dark as her next door neighbor and the neighborhood butcher. But- Mr. Brown kept the secret and even
. resisted the temptation to lay in a 25-pound. sack of There isn't "af
his favorite Michigan beans. Secrecy about his work is strict law in Mr. Brown's family life. Patricia, 18, and Barbara, 20, don’t ask questions, curious though they may be. “My college classmates at Michigan told me not to dare come back from spring vacation until I'd found out whether clothes were going to be rationed,” confessed Pat, who is a freshman at Michigan .State. “But dad won’t tell me, and I wouldn’t ask him.” - At home at their comfortable apartment in Washington, the Brown family is typically American. Mrs. Brown does the shopping, figures out the

Barbara, an Ann Arbor sophomore, will remain in Washington with her patents this semester, but her sister, and brother Prentiss Jr., nicknamed Moe, will return soon to studies. Another brotker, James John Brown, is in the naval reserve at Ann Arbor, : Two married sisters, Mrs. Hugh Rudolph and Mrs. Forest Evashevski, live in the Midwest, and 8-year-old Paul lives in Washington with his parents.

included a crisp vegetable salad, a small beef -oast,
with part of a pork roast to make sure there was
enough for three extra guests, a caulifiower head, surrounded by carrots, bread and jam, cake and one cup of coffee apiece. “And did you know,” Mrs. Brown flipped the question accusingly at her husband, “that you can’t buy French dressing?” “]—er—had a suspicion, Mom,” admitted her husband, smiling.
