LET'S SWING INTO FALL
(See Recipes Below)
Three cheers! It's fall again! Now
is the time to pork up your home a
bit, to scan through Dame Fashion's
news notes, and to dress up your
table a bit with new and old-time
favorites.
As each season comes we always
heed its call by planning foods suit
able for serving at that particular
time of the year. We try to rush
spring by setting forth very crisp,
cool, and fresh vegetable salads.
Throughout the summer, when ap
petites wane, cooling beverages and
light foods are most popular.
But with cooler weather that is
here at last, appetites pick
up, and the family is more than
ready to discard their favorite light
er meals for something more sub
stantial that will provide new en
ergy for school and fall activities.
Many of the foods we serve are
those that your mother served, and
her mother before that time, but
we can give new flavor to them,
new and attractive ways of serving,
and a 1940 style.
A tiny sprinkling of ginger over
roast beef gives it a yummy flavor.
Meat loaf may be baked in a ring
mold and served with parsley po
tato balls in the center.
Pour a bottle of gingerale over
ham for baking, and baste occa
sionally.

ing for layer cake, spread each lay
