Household Details
Of Mexican Home
Are Recalled
MISS LAURA A- MILLER, pro
fessor of home . economics at
the University of Oklahoma, Tin
ned Mexico recently with her eyes
.open to household details of that
country. Sh- brought back a good
many interesting: facts about life
in Mexican homes. She says:
"In contract to. the ultra-modern
homes found in parts of 5fx
ico City which are. similar to m.t
American modernistic buildings,
are found small: huts made of
adobe or cactus without chim
neys or windows.
"Looking at a house where peo-
pie of comfortable incomes live.
one sees only a wall with a few
barred windows, but once inside
the door a large or small patio
is found with all the rooms open
ing Into it.
"Thus, the whole structure is
built around one unit. Iron bars at
windows decorate the sides of the
narrow streets where cars travel
at a terrifie speed. In these streets
axe found much of the social hie
of the Mexican.
Sits Apart
"Different also is the social life
and food of a natire of Mexico,"
says Miss Miller. "The head of a
house sits apart from the rest of
the family at meal time. In case
of the death of the father, the old
eat son assumes the responsibility
and takes his meals at a separate
table. -
In regions where poverty is evi
dent, labor is done by human
beasts. Common Is the scene of
huge burdens being carried on
human backs. Desks, liring room
furniture, and large baskets of
unwrapped breads are transported
by men and women alike, for the
woman works side by Bide with
the man. Everybody is a small
merchant, for all of the commun
ities have a market at which any-
. thing is sold from needles and pins
" to geese and ducks.
Cooking Is Hot
"The 'tortilla or cakes made
of corn, is the national bread. One
can hear these being made .at any
time of the day, as they are Pat
ted out by hand. The corn ts
ground on a stone by hand, mixed
"with water, patted Into shape,
cooked on a fire, much as our
griddle cakes, and sold right there
in the street. Mexican food is al
ways greasy and hot in flavor.
"Mexico may be an adjoining
country in terms of miles, but it
Is entirely foreign in its mode of
living. Any American would bet
ter understand his own nation, as
well as Mexico, by a visit to that
nearby foreign land, and would
also profit much by the exper
iences which would be his durlnr
the Journey."

Spring Planting
Wild Flowers :
Begins Soon I
COMES the time every spring,
when amateur gardeners, in
spired by dainty blooming
wild flowers, set about to trans
plant them from their natural
habitat, to a garden in town. Com
paratively few ever survive to
bloom again j next year. ! '
Several reasons are possible
for the cause of failure j to suc
cessfully transplant wild I flowers
and trees; they are usually dug
when the flower is in bloom; the
plant or shrub is too large; in
sufficient care is given after mov
ing; change in soil and growing
conditions varies too greatly from
that natural to the plants..
The grower who successfully
moves wild plants is to be con
gratulated. But those thousands
of well meaning but unsuccessful
transplanters have done a grand
job of clearing our nearby woods
and fields of wild flowers and
shrubs. i
Preservation Plans
Wild flower preservation socie
ties have been organized! in the
past few years to Increase interest
in native plants, and to urge their
growing from seeds and cuttings
rather than by digging.
- Commercial nurseries are offer
ing more and more variety in
seeds of native plants. Your nurs
eryman can suggest many that
will lend themselves nicely to
naturalized planting and go well
with the real natives that are al
ready in growth in the garden.

Menu Card Yields
Ideas for Home
Bill of Fare
;.
OFTENTIMES the menu '" card
from some favorite eating
place will offer many suggestions
for daily home meals.
Such a bill of fare is that which
has been saved since 1930 from
"Cambor'a scientific cooking" In
Denver. There are many Inspira
tions for salads, sandwiches and
desserts, but arrangement Is left
up to the Individual who makes
'be dishes. J
Among ine eaiaa comomaiions
listed are:
Figs, prunes and cottage cheese.
. Beets and nuts.
Stuffed tomatoes with cabbage,
nuts and mayonnaise.
Lettuce, tomatoes, dried olives
(we call them Greek olives) goat's
cheese (use Swiss or American).
Oriental salad-lettuce, cucum
bers, green onions, green peppers,
olives, goat's cheese, olive oil and
lemon. i
Fruit and vegetable combina
tion.
Date and cottage cheese.
Carrots and cocoanut.
Grapefruit salad with orange
sauce and nuts.
Desserts use fruits and include
such combinations as:
Stewed fresh rhubarb with
honey.
Date-nut cup custard.
Pineapple and pears.
Sandwiches include several
combinations using goats cheese:
Date, nut, marmalade combina
tion. Olives, nuts.
Cottage cheese, nuts. .
, Carrots and dates.
. Crab loaf sandwich on whole
wheat bread, with fresh mushroom
sauce.
.
Only women were permitted to
bake brea din Syria in the fifth
century since men were not con
sidered worthy to be entrusted
with the making of an important
food. Among the Redouin Arabs
it is regarded as a serious breach
of etiquette to pass a man's tent
without stopping to eat his bread.
Serving the whole main course
on one large platter Is a plan
that's received with pleasure by
the family dishwasher. One of,
those large pottery plates will
hold the roast, baked or browned
potatoes, onions and root vegeta
bles and If the foods are arranged
In groups, the dish makes an at-,
tractive whole course.
Chop parsley, let it dry on ab
sorbent paper and use as a gar
nish for foods. Parsley is good
flavor for such moist foods as
soup or gravy, and the dried herb
fluffs and brightens up on touch
ing the liquid.
The very newest in footwear to har
monize with your Easter clothes.

smartly styled patterns make these ;

new Easter bonnet. You'll be a real !
