Recipes Of

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.
Used occasionally lor everyday
I meals, they add interest to food
[and will spike both your family’s
appetites and their morale.

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.
