These Recipes Are Handy For Wedding Meals By MBS. GAYNOB MADDOX NEA Service Staff Writer HIGH NOON is the best hour for the Spring wedding breakfast. It should be a sit-down affair and reasonably substantial. For an eve ning wedding, where a substantial sit-down reception menu is requir ed, use the same food as you would for the high noon breakfast. However, for a menu following a very early morning wedding eight or nine o’clock, you should serve a real breakfast, consisting of fruit cup, ham and eggs, toast and rolls, potatoes, coffee and tea and sections of fruit as a “sweet.” That’s advice of Margery Wil son, etiquette and charm author ity. Here are some of her own recipes for the substantial wed ding breakfast menu: As a main dish, she suggests ham with candied sweet potatoes and a tossed green salad. You might buy a pre-cooked ham, re quiring only an hour to finish it. Make a syrup of brown sugar, cider vinegar and ground, mixed cloves; pour this into about twen ty knife-holes which you will have made in the ham. Then baste the whole ham with the mixture two or three times while it is in the oven. WATCH CABEFULLY TO AVOID BUBNING lake the ham out, butter it all over with mustard and in turn pack brown sugar into th'e mus tard. Then insert whole cloves. Take slices of pineapple (thin— cut the canned slices in half) and stick these, with thin slices of red cherries, on the ham with tooth picks (remembering to remove later). Put the ham back in the oven for about five minutes, watching it carefully to make sure it doesn’t burn, until it is glazed. TOMORROW’S MENU BREAKFAST: Grapefruit and orange juice, shredded wheat, toast, coffee, milk. LUNCHEON: Scrambled eggs on enriched toast, ro maine salad, corp syrup cook ies, tea, milk. DINNER: Lamb stew with spring vegetables, hot biscuits, green salad, chocolate pud ding, coffee, milk. 5 * * * Bridal Couple Of Week, Feted At Supper Party Miss Mildred Robbins entertain ed for Miss Helen Mahler and J.

The French-born daughter of the discoverers of radium flew across the Atlantic to Egypt, visited Lib Eve Curie -ya, the Levant States, Iran, Rus sia, India, Bur ma, China an'3 returned by much the same route. The purpose of ler trip was a newspaper r e - porting job which also gleaned ma terial for lec tures and a book. “The differen ces I noted on my trip out and my trip back were tremendous,” she said on her return to New York, “The return impression was encouraging. We felt that America moved in very quickly, that her effort was tre mendous both in sending material and in maintaining lines of com munication. We were saved last year by England, and this year by Russia. Probably next year we shall be saved by the United States. “The United Nations will win. Their total strength is enough to beat the Axis. But thev have a very hard job because they have to fight in so many places. The Allies were not prepared for war in the Pacific, but the Jans ware “"uipped. determined and bold. The war shifted from a very small front to ‘all over.’ Both England and America have to adapt themselves to this situa tion which means shipping to and being in a great many places at one time.” Visits Russian Front To Mile. Curie the high spot of her trip was her four visits to the Rushan front. “In Russia I had the impression of a great war machine prepared for a long time,” she said. "The Germans have met a powerful enemy. It was obvious, from the tanks and ammunition strewn all over, that the-' had withdrawn in disorder. The proportion of ground they have lost is not very great, but the Russian generals say “Our orders are to encircle and destroy.’ They are primarily interested in destroying the Ger man war machine. I had an im pression of determination and confidence in Russia. Their slogan is ‘We will beat the Germans in 1942.” Mile. Curie is slim, dark, quiet of manner and famous for her chic. But she gives little time to clothes, these days. All he refforts are bent on work. She is making a brief lecture tour now and has scheduled a four months’ tour en circling the country in the fall. She left France soon after the fall of Paris and has since sup ported the Free French Cause. Women of Nazi-occupied coun tries, who must remain nameless, are making interesting news. . . . Twentv-eight Norwegian women recently escaped from the coun try in a fishing boat, crossed the North Sea and landed on Shet land Island. ... A Czech woman is in charge of a secret short wave radio transmitter, sending out in formation on German military moves and on conditions inside the country. . . .
