Some Helpful HintsforSunday Night Suppers As a rule Sunday night supper is a pretty cold sort of comfort. It is usually a meal of left-overs, left as they are. Why not invite your fam ily or some friends in for supper next Sunday. It is an ideal way to entertain. One of the greatest charms of such an affair is the in formality; the hostess relaxes and everyone feels at home. Cold Platter Cut cold ham and tongue in thin delicate slices.

Wine Legislation May Revive Grape Culture The Muscadine is coming back into its own in North Carolina since the Legislature legalized the manufacture and sale of naturally fermented wines made of Tar Heel grapes, says the Raleigh News & | Observer. The same newspaper goes on to say: ! Varieties oi Muscaaine were useu extensively at one time in blending fine domestic wines, but viticultur ists have uprooted some of their vineyards and allowed others to deteriate until this State now sup plies few grapes except for table use. Nevertheless, in 1929, before re peal efforts had progressed far, 7, 435.832 pounds of grapes were har vested in North Carolina vineyards at a farm value of $1,000,000 And, according to horticulturists the pos 'sioilities for grape growing in this State now are unlimited I Muscadine flourish in Eastern North Carolina, their adaptability i being unlimited by the cotton belt. They 2re not regarded as the best wine grape, but they have been widely i^icd in excellent quality blends, some of which have become i more popular than the vaunted California wines made of imported varieties. It is in fieamont ana western North Carolina that the choicer grapes grow, the vineyards there producing such superior varieties as the Concord, Niagara, Delaware and Catawba. The Tryon and Valdese sections, long famed for their grapes, j major in those kinds. I The deep pink Delaware is con | ceded to be the best of the native I white wine grapes. It is used both jin blending sparkling white wines and still dry white wines, but the i unblended Delaware is a prime I faVorite with connoisseurs, j Regarded as not a satisfactory wine grape, the Concord dominates the domestic market chiefly for table use and for bottled, unfer mented grape juice. Nine-tenths of all the native grapes grown are Concords. Some is used in red wine. The Catawba is said to have been first found growing wild in the 'woods near the Catawba River, and the first to receive really respectful attention. It produces an individual wine in either the sparkling or dry. Niagara, like the Concord, is a common grape of inferior quality for wine. Its vineyards occupy most of the 10 per cent left by the Con cord. Most popular of the Southern Muscadines, the scuppernong, with its highly assertive aroma, is used for making a pale, dry, white wine in addition to its use us a blend. Unfortified wines, such as the Legislature legalized, contain any where from eight per cent to about 14 per cent of alcohol, the result of natural fermentation. Fortified wines are those to which alcohol has been added in one form or another and for one reason or another. The color in red wines comes from the skin of the grapes which are allowed to ferment without the juice being pressed off. To obtain white wine it is necessary to press the grapes before permitting fermenta tion. White wines are apt to be milder, but there are also red wines which are delicate. Imbibers like dry white with fish and light meat courses, while red wines seem to go i better with red meat, such as beef 'and mutton. I I Picnic Ideas For Young and Old As soon as warm weather appears, picnics again take the spot-light. I For young folk, they are apt to be (meals prepared in the rough and j ready fashion of a camper; while I older folks sometimes prefer the j delicacies of the home carefully packed away in the picnic kit, de luxe. But. regardless of the kind, a picnic is a picnic, and is sure to bring a good time for all. For the ''camper style" picnic, Iranklurts or centers ha\e long; I ! ,been a favorite, not only because | they are easily roasted on a point-1 ed stick over the open fire, but also 1 because there is something about i their flavor that just seems to fill I | the bill for the outdoor meal. These placed between halves of buns, with mustard or ketchup for added zest, I | prove quite satisfying in themselves, j 'and heed only fruit and cookies to [ finish the meal. If you are looking for something a bit different, though. Inez S. Willson, home economist, suggests' | that you split the frankfurts before j you start on the picnic trip, spread | the cut surface with mustard, in sert slices of cheese, and wrap with (bacon. Fasten with toothpicks so j that there is no danger of the bacon I slipping into the fire during the 'roasting. The toothpicks are j removed, of course, before the cooked frankrut is made into the 1 sandwich. Lamb lends itself well to camp ! cookery, and is a little unusual, i j simply because not so many people,' in this country have tried roasting |it over the open fire. It is said, ] however, that lamb on skewers is a favorite meat dish in the near East, !and that it is always cooked in camp manner. So let us take a lesson I from our foreign friends. Lamb, Hunter Style The lamb is cut into 1-inch squares. This, then, is threaded on to wooden skewers in the market or Ion green sticks at'the picnic site. Bacon may be skewered with the (lamb, or if you wish, onion slices, ; tomatoes, mushroom caps may all be used. These then are broiled over the hot coals. ricnic rvu For the more elaborate out-door 1 meal, the picnic kit is a useful arti cle of equipment. The whole meal may be prepared at home, and pack ed in this so that nothing need be done at the grounds. Even the cof fee may be made at home and plac ed in a thermos jug to be kept warm, i A meat loaf is a good choice for j | this type of picnic because it can be, made into sandwiches so easily. Or j here is a sandwich loaf which proves a great favorite among "picnickers." Ribbon Sandwich Loaf 6 slices baked ham, rather thick M cup ketchup 2 teaspoons prepared mustard 1 cup grated cheese Place a slice of ham in a baking pan and spread sparingly with' ketchup and mustard which have been mixed together. Sprinkle liber i ally with grated cheese, and place 'another slice of ham over this, j Spread with ketchup-mustard sauce, sprinkle with cheese, add another j 'slice of ham, and continue until all | ingredients are used. HELPFUL HINTS FOR SMART HOUSEWIVES If your cream refuses to whip add' a few drops of honey and usually the! difficulty disappears. To remove dust from wall paper make a cheesecloth bag, fill it with cornmeal and rub lightly over the paper. If scouring powder will not remove burnt materials from cooking uten sils try sandpaper. Add a teaspoon of dissolved gela | tin. to each half pint of whipping '.cream and it will be stiffer when whipped. Tea makes a good base for punch. They claim that if one will wash new silk stockings in cold water be Ifore they are worn and each time they are taken off they will last i twice as long. If woolen garments are hung outj to dry while dripping wet they will not shrink. A piece of sandpaper under the :ood chopper clamps will hold that jnportant machine in place even on the edge of a porcelain-topped iable. 1 fulinary ^Jingles uy - Marcia Camp This grand dessert was truly made By darling little Eva. It is so good that I'm afraid That no one will believe her. PERFECT ICE CREAM CAN YOU believe that a mere child can make smooth "yummy" ice cream all by herself, the equal of any you have ever eaten? She can, if she knows the secret?a marshmal low ice cream recipe! _ .y.e rnar3hmallo>ra M/Lk in the dessert Q ei-e likely jn Eva For marshmallows are the simple answer to the prayer of every house-, wife who wants to make perfect ice cream without effort, in either a mechanical refrigerator or in an ice cream freezer. With marshmallows there is no such word as "fail" in the lexicon of ice-cream-making. That is because they introduce into home-! made ice cream the same agent which ! makes commercial ice creams so un failingly smooth and creamy ? an agent which, before combining with sugar and corn syrup to make the marshmallows themselves, was pure sparkling gelatine. | Because marshmallows contain a certain unvarying proportion of gela tine and sugar, they are always de pendable: two essential ingredients in one. Naturally this helps to sim plify recipes in which they are used; as, for example, in lemon marlow, the name given to all marshmallow ice creams. LEMON MARLOW 27 marshmallows pint whipping % cup water cream S tablespoons lemon juice Steam the marshmallows and water together in the top of a double boiler until a smooth liquid blend is ob tained. The melting of the marsh mallows Is hastened by cutting them Into pieces with scissors dipped in hot water. Add the lemon juice and set aside to cool until slightly stiff ened. Combine carefully with the stiffly beaten cream, pour into con tainers, and freeze without stirring. MyFavoriteRecipes ?*? Frances Lee Barton says: ??

Books have always been perishable. #orms and bugs eat the starch in their bind ings, they are easily stained, the 1 edges scuff off, and their backs tend to crack from constant open ing. But when the chemists were turned loose on this problem re- j cently they brought into being the material that many leading publish ers of America are now using. They call it FX cloth. It does, in fact, look like cloth, although it is really an impregnated material on which cloth patterns are imprinted. The | average person cannot tell the dif ference. | Yet this material which looks like cloth, takes all the colors and pat-! terns of cloth, is impervious to water, stains and the attacks of, Insects, and is easily cleaned with ; soap and a damp cloth.
