Recipes Of The Week By BETTY MOORE Home Service Director Virginia Electric and _Power Company You can make a party or tea or j even a family supper a trujy fes tive occasion this time of the month by carrying out, a Wash ington’s Birthday theme. For a simple but effective table centerpiece, you might use two figurines of a colonial lady and gentleman, with little name plates: “George and Martha.” ^ Or, if you don’t happen to have the figurines, make your own centerpiece: A Washington cher ry tree. It’s easy to do and the cost is practically nil. You sim ply stick some gracefully bent dried tree branches in a red flow er pot. Then hang the bare branches with cherries, made by | covering cotton balls with gath ered circles of red crepe paper. Use brown yarn for stems, sopre green crepe paper leaves-and a few cherries dropped under the tree add to the effect. If you serve ice cream top it with a cherry on a tiny lighted red candle. Cherry ice cream it self fits the occasion. Any bright red punch will look pretty lor a Washington’s Birth day affair. Punch made with cranberry juice has an especially good color. Today’s recipe is for Washing ton's Cherry Cookies. You'll find them good with either punch or ice cream. But before we go on to the re cipe, remember this: Little touches of glamour like those de scribed above are not meant only for parties and special affairs.

Sharp You nerd to consider the con tours of the pieces themselves, j They should be graceful and love ly in shape, well balanced and well proportioned. The design used on the silver should also be well balanced and proportioned, should be flowing and rhythmic, with only one or two points of emphasis. The kind of finish used on sil ver is a factor to consider. Some silver is finished with a very bright and shiny effect, which can cheapen even the best design. It is better to choose a satiny lus trous finish. It gives a feeling of richness. On good silver, the surfaces are well polished, tyie corners of the folks are smoothly rounded, and the prongs are slim. Handles are comfortable to hold. Remember to look at all the pieces in the pattern, not just the knife, fork and spoon. You want i to be sure you like the serving ! pieces, salad forks and other such ! pieces .. .... | It is wise to see a whole table set with the pattern, so you can get the geneia! effect, Many patterns of silver are dis continued after a certain period of time. You will do well to find out how long a pattern has been on the market and how much longer it is to be made. A safe rule is to choose repro ductions rather than new designs. The old designs have had the ap proval of time and will be beauti ful for years to come. -* a-.— SOME LIKE IT (Guy Swarringen, Stanly News & Press) Can't get away from the sub ject of work.
