* Quick Meals Are in Order [n Summer “By BARBARA BROEKING GRANTED, it is a hot day. But the family's appe- . tite somehow survives. The ; fate of the housewife is upon you and mealtime is rolling around. but it's true, something warm should be included—even in these hot-weather menus. And the family does want meal. It seems the best solution to the problem is to prepare a dinner ‘that is quick and easy, yet something both nutritious and flavorful. Broiled © ham with peaches might be one combination that will fit this bill to perfection ! There if no better eating and the color and flavor blend » heautifully in your broiler, Canned peaches are Ideal for this, for they're large and firm and in abundance. ~ » ¥ AND IF you're puzzled about the next step of your meal, why not serve whole kernel corn with green lima beans? Heat them right in the broiler pan under the rack holding the ham slices and peach halves, The rich ham Juice seeping down through the rack into the vegetables gives them added flavor. Soft rolls, grated carrot salad, caramel custard and old fashjoned sugar cookies—put that kind of a completed menu before the family and even hot weather will be forgotten. Incidentally, when purchasing a ham slice from your meatman, iL is essential to find out whether the slice is from a ready-to-eat ham or cook-beforeseating ham. Both are tender mild cure hams,

It may be sad,

Serve Family And Guests ‘English Style’

SERVE BOTH your everyday and company meals informally (“English family style”) is a suggestion in a recent issue of Better Homes and Gardens, Common questions about familystyle dining dre answered in the article, For instance, one question is: How can I serve a first course with a family-style dinner? The host may serve a tomato or pineapple juice cocktail in the living room while the hostess places food on the table. That ever-occuring question about ; service plates also is discussed. It seems the traditiondl rule of table] setting is never to leave an empty space before a. guest. Why are place or service plates used when no cocktall or soup course is served on | them? | If you don’t have a separate set of service plates,. let your dinner plates do the job, instead of being| stacked in front of the host, Or, * you can place the napkin between | the knife and the fork. iy . wn | 1.

chemist of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Even a fairly mild acid like lemon juice or vinegar may change the color or damage the cloth. ; ! First, rinse the stain several times with cool. water to stop the agtion of the acid. Then apply baking soda or ammonia water, Water alone may not restore color

sprinkle it on both sides of the stain, moisten with water and allow to stand several minutes. Then rinse well with water. If ammonia is used, hold the dampened stain over an open bottle of strong ammonia - water.

Avoid Insect Pests Insect pests sometimes get into even the most carefully operated homes, but the good old reliable vacuum cleaner is an excellent way of combatting them. The special tools, used carefully and frequently on all parts of upholstered furniture and thoroughly on the draperies, will accomplish much in preventing moth infestation and damage. Vacuuming carpets thoroughly and. frequently is necessary for the same reason.
