There Are Many Ways to Prepare Peas, Both Groh and Black-Eyed

HEN I went to the country to visit my grandmother, she always had orange marmalade to go

with her wonderful biscuits. I've tried to make it, but my marmalade always has that grainy texture that follows when jelly goes to sugar. I want an old-fashioned recipe that doesn’t require

a prepared fruit pectin.

I know that my grandmother

didn’t use a pectin, since it wasn't available then. And advice on the type of oranges to select also would be

appreciated. Mrs. L. E. T.

DEAR ORW: I'd like to give the “Yankees” a real black eye. I'm living here temporarily, and I find the changes in cooking and types of food quite a problem.

The very first time I ordered peas in a restaurant here, I received green peas. If that's what I had wanted, I'd have ordered English peas. I wanted black-eyed peas. There are any number of good ways of preparing peas, both green and black-eyed. Does some “Northerner” want to swap a few with me? SOUTHERN BLUE-BLOOD.

DEAR ORW: I.do my own laundry at home in my electric washer. Lately several pieces of clothing have come out with completely discolored buttons. Nothing has faded on them, because the clothing does not show faded marks. Is there any way to

keep this from happening

again? MRS. A. J. P.

TWO answers came to the Brownsburg reader requesting information on making braided rugs. Mrs. 1. U. suggests buying a braidér and bobbin from a needlework counter. This

"will control cupping. She -

recommends bright colors for the dye. . Mrs. 8. J. Hoover, 3127 Winthrop Ave., says she will be glad to explain rug making to anyone who wishes to contact her.

Chocolate Icing AKING chocolate icing really is easy and simple enough for a child, according to at least two

recipes received this week.

CHOCOLATE ICING Melt three of four squares of unsweetened chocolate and three tablespoons of butter or vegetable shortening over hot water. Measure three cups of sifted confectioners sugar, add one-eighth teaspoon salt, seven tablespoons

milk, one teaspoon vanilla. Blend together and add hot chocolate mixture. Stir well Let stand, stirring occasionally. Spread on cake when right consistency. Congress Ave. Reader.

® » . CHOCOLATE ICING 1 egg 1 c. sugar

2 squares chocolate 2 thsps. butter 3 tbsps. milk 12 tsp. vanilla Combine all ingredients except vanilla in a pan. Bring to a good boil, then remove from heat and cool. Add vanilla and beat until creamy. Stir constantly to keep from burning. Spread while still slightly warm.

DEAR ORW: Enclosed is a strawberry jam recipe which has proven to be a very good one, even though it does contain fruit pectin. Mrs. E. R. may be able to substitute this method. STRAWBERRY JAM 4 c. prepared fruit 61% c. sugar 1 box powdered fruit pectin Crush completely, one layer at a time, about two quarts fully ripe strawberries. Measure four cups pulp into a large saucepan. Measure sugar and set aside. Place saucepan holding fruit over high heat. Add powdered fruit pectin and stir until mixture comes to a hard boil. At once stir in sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil and

+boil hard for one minute,

stirring constantly. Remove from heat, skim, ladle quickly into glasses and paraffin at once. Makes about 10 sixounce glasses. Mrs. G. F. = = ”

DEAR ORW: During the summer I always make ice cream in our old-fashioned ice cream mixer. Most of my recipes were destroyed last fall when our farm home burned. I know that soon I will be needing a chocolate chip ice cream recipe for our annual June family reunion. Can someone send me an oldfashioned recipe? Carmel Grandmother. s » »

DEAR ORW: My family likes rice as a breakfast f I don’t mind that at all, but I never seem to estimate exactly the right amount for a meal. Does anyone have a good recipe for using up the leftovers? Mrs. G. F,

Teen-Age Vacation

Projects Are Varied

By JOAN SCHOEMAKER ACATION . .. THAT MAGIC WORD that brings a

Soaring of spirits and makes tired eyes shine,

means something different to each person who hears it.

To teen-agers, as to their elders, vacation does mean fun. But teen fun doesn’t all fit into one category. \ Ann Abbott, 5553 Rockville Road, and Dick Hadley, 816 S. Taft St., two Ben Davis graduates, are active in 4-H work. Dick has gardening as a project this year. Ann will continue her 4-H work in vegetable judg-

ing for the third year.

Tennis fans from the word go, Bob Martin, 5608 N. Delaware St., and Susan Atkins, 3055 N. Meridian St., will be on the courts all summer. Last year the Stohler family, 3145 Washington Blvd., failed to enjoy its vacation east. Food poisoning

interrupted the fun.

Mary Katherine, a Shortridge

graduate, hopes that the family motors east again this year to see what they missed in New York and Wash-

ington.

Sun bathing is.one summer activity teen-agers don’t skip. Carol Crosbie, 28 W. 54th St., has the Riviera Club swimming pool listed as one of her favorite

spots for this summer.

A job is one thing many teens look for at the end of the school year. Sylvia Taylor, 134 W. 43d St., will work as a part-time model at Wasson’s this sum-

mer.

With a dream of big-time professional entertaining in the back of her mind, Paula Dee Hawkins, 1225 N. La Salle St., will be in teen variety shows again this summer sponsored by the Public Parks Department.

THERE ARE brushes and brushes in the Royalton Steeplechase. The participants, as well as the horses, have hurdles to ovércome. But the riders—or

their wives—will have surpassed theirs before the races begin. . It's the refurbishing of

Cleaning Tips Offered on Royalton Silks

before the big event opens June 18. The race is to be held at

the Wells Hampton Farm, 17 miles northwest of Indianapolis. John Brant Jr. will be the only local rider in the Royalton. Others will come from all over the Midwest. Cleaning tips, culled from the Chronicle, a horsey newspaper published in Berryville, Va., outline the rules. When the silks are made from satin, they should be sent to the cleaners. A good many of the newest ones

are fashioned of nylon. These just need a good dunking to be fresh, While the pile of a scar-

let coat is good, the hunting”

jacket need only be sponged and brushed with clean, soft water, As the pile disappears from the cloth, the coat stains and the color fades.

A Simple Formula THIS IS wher renovating becomes necessary. An inexpensive, simple formula will surmount the problem easily. Dissolve one-half ounce salt of lemon and 200 grains carbonate of potash in two pints boiling soft water. Afterward add a small teaspoonful of Cochineal. Sponge thoroughly with water, then brush evenly all over. Next sponge with the renovator solution, repeating the water brushing afterward. About one pint of the solution is used at a dressing. Velvet or hunt caps must be brushed upward with a stiff brush if they have become wet. When dry, steam in front of a kettle spout and brush up. “Rat catchers,” in which the women will be dressed, will include black coats, tan breeches and black boots. The coats may be cleaned with the same solution as the scarlet ones.

Use Tepid Water THE BREECHES, if they are cloth, should be laid flat on a table. Use tepid water with soap to clean the dirty places and at the straps. Water well and brush out. Hang upside down to dry by suspending from a line with string hooks attached. Rub out strappings when half dry, this prevents hard drying. Finish rubbing out when completely dry and apply coloring material if needed. Press breeches inside out. Young equestrians, undoubtedly more comfortable than any of the rest, will be dressed in blue jeans. Their mothers will have treated the levis to a soap and water sudsing before the juniors prance into the spotlight,

Gay Youth Parties Mark Activities Over Week-End

By KATY ATKINS DESPITE THE BREATHER taken by the not-so-young generation last week-end, the gay young group kept things going with a number of parties. Betty and Bill Mooney, who Were married yesterday morning, were the honor guests at one.party given by Mr. and Mrs. Herbert E. Wilson at their country place.

Unfortunately the Wil-

sons’ daughter, Joan

. Stephenson, who was in

the wedding, did not arrive until Friday. But many other young people were there as - well as the parents of the honor guests and the bride's aunt, Mrs, William. C. Welch of Philadel phia. She wore a beige lace dress while Betty was in a ¢ h a rtreuse print, Mrs, Wilson used green and white on the serving table and masses of her own pale pink and deep red peonies throughout the house. » » = DELPHINIUM, white peonies and pink gladioli in silver wine coolers graced the buffet tables on the front and dining room terraces at the party given by Allen Clowes in the home of his parents, Dr. and Mrs. G. H. A. Clowes. Among Allen's guests was Elizabeth Munce, formerly of Indianapolis, now living in Orangeburg, 8. C. She has been visiting Ava Saunders

Christenings BOBBY and Perry Lesh have had Bobby's

sister and her husband,

Mr. and Mrs, C. R. Egler of New York, with them. The party they had for their guests added to the festivities. ” ” » TWO FUTURE belles were christened last week-end. Holly Peacock, daughter of Sylvia and John Pedcock, wore the white dress that had belonged to her cousin, Sara Kirtland, and from all accounts was ravishing in it, Her godparents are her grandmother, Mrs, Theodore B. Griffith, and Susie and Frank Mayberry. Incidentally, I saw Sara once with a wreath of daisies in her hair which I thought was a most charming substitute for a hat for a little girl on an occasion when one was needed. She has been visiting the Grimths.

GRACE *McKEE. davghter of Margaret and Hiram MecKee, was christened in the chapel at Sherwood House by Bishop Kirchhoffer, her sponsors being Marion and George Fotheringham. : A few friends gathered at the McKees’ later to meet and admire the very young lady

Coming Home M& AND MRS. Joseph J. Daniels’ household is gay with the arrival of

their young people from college and school. Mrs. Daniels’ son, Michael Fairbanks, entertained members of the active Beta Chapter at Wabash and their girls on a lovely warm evening. They got an enormous amount of pleasure in swimming and dancing outdoors. Katharine Daniels, who got home from Farmington on Friday, had a similar almost immediately on her arrival.
