The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, friday Morning, Angus! 13, 19T7 rAcrs Tmrarsrr Old Newspapers Yield Notes On Manners "They didn't do that in my day" has been said so many times its effectiveness has been lost Maybe they didn't do that, but they did soineinmg eise. Field workers of the historical i records surrey, a WPA project, found in old newspaper files many. Interesting commentaries on changing moaes ana manners. A codt of the Oregon city spec tator-dated February 19, 1846,1 describes a ball curiously reminis cent of those held during the re cent Portland fleet week. "Cap tain Batllie and the run" room officer of II. B. M. S. Modeste, entertained a numerous circle at a ball there upon Wednesday eve ning. There was a brillian assem blage of the 'fair sex' of Oregon, and although, in "the far west. yet from the gay display that night, we are proud to state that the infant colony can boast of as pretty faces and handsome 'fiS-J nres as the mother country. Dancing commenced at 8 -o'clock and it was pleasing to see 'trip ping on the light fantastic toe' kept up with such spirit. The dresses of the ladies was a theme of universal admiration, combin ing neatness, elegance and ease. "Reels, country dances, figures eight and ligs was the order of the evening; and if we do not yet come to that fashionable dance, the polka, still, we live in hopes of seeing It soon introduced at our own balls, a gentleman who knows and dances it well. and who lately visited the Falan- tine Plains, having volunteered to Instruct the Oregonlan beauties in its intricacies." A few years later, March 30,1 1852, the Oregon Statesman com plained bitterly In describing a "shocking new dance called the waltz." Despite the disapproval of certain elements, dancing contin ued. Formally worded Invitations have been found reading: '-'The pleasure of your company is re spectfully solicited to attend a cotillion party at the Metropolis hotel, Friday, December 25, 1857." The cost of tickets for this I Portland function was not re corded, but that for a similar party held In Canyon City at Christmas time during the gold i rush was $7.50. , Tomatoes Have Hats For Salads - Tomatoes stuffed with cold succotash keep their caps on and look perky for a luncheon salad. Chill the tomatoes well, and fill with a mixture of corn and beans that have been mari nated and moistened with may onnaise. Put on the tops that were cut off when tomatoes were scooped out. garnish with parsley or . mint and chill very cold. i . . .....

Jellied grapefruit salad Tuna casserole New peas Green apple pie The tuna casserole includes po tatoes and makes about the whole main dish. Put alternate layers of flaked tuna or other fish in a buttered casserole, with potato chips. Over it pour the contents of a can : of cream of mushroom soup or some cream sauce. Top with crubs and dots of butter and hrown well. Mushroom Sauce Makes Lamb Good Handy old mushroom soup i comes into popularity again when I it's vsed in this recipe: LAMB WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE 2 tablespoons butter S tablespoons flour teaspoon salt f 1 medium can cream of mush room soup Cayenne , cup grated cheese lhi cups diced cooked Iamb Melt butter, add flour, salt and i soup. Cook over hot water until thick and smooth. Add few grains i cayenne, grated cheese and lamb.' Mix well, heat and serve on toast. Beans Make Garnish I Or Salad String beans left full length make a handsome vegetable when stripped with pimiento pieces. A : pile of them arranged on lettuce, i garnished with tomato quarters i and topped with mayonnaise i make an easy but good tasting ! salad to go on a luncheon Plate i with the main dish. Some good cooks like to cut their green beans (we don't say 'string" anymore) in very thin , lengthwise strips, especially now that they are getting pretty well i matured. Summer Sandwiches Are Attractive A summer sandwich i of out standing charm has need of corner on flavor to gam any special interest among a multi tude of sandwich possibilities. You'll place your bet on thin sliced cornucopia of bread a Tolled, square shaped - slice- filled with cream cheese flav ored with small torn fragments of dried beet and chopped i or sliced ripe olives, and seasoned with small amounts of onion juice and Worcestershire eance. Be careful not 'to thin the cheese to the point where the contents of the cornucopia are hard , to control. I t It's always so desirable to have whole olives left for gar nishing sandwich service, how ever, that there is the I need I of choosing whether we shall cut whole ripe olives from the pit by hand or use the ready pre pared kind that add so much to convenience in sandwich i and sal ad making. ; j Peaches Ready To Can This Weekend Peach canning la going to start with a boom the first of next week, if Indications prove right. Sloppys. those flavorful not-so-good loking peaches that are grand when canned are supposed to make their appear ance on the 15th. They usually have to be ordered as there arc not so very many grown. The old standby Crawfords. will come along almost Immed iately, then will be Elbertas to end up the successful canning season, . Below is a chart for canning peaches, just about every pos sible way. Some good cooks can peaches with the skins on. It's certainly simple way. Merely wash and wipe the peaches, can as usual. If open kettle method Is used. the skins can be taken out as the fruit is packed in Jars. If oven method is used, they are taken out when the fruit is served. Peaches are pinker, have a perfectly grand flavor and are awfully good canned this way. Try a few jars this year and see how the family likes them. OPEN KETTLE METHOD Plunge the fruit into boiling water, put in cold water and slip off the skins. Some prefer to leave the seeds in, while others halve the fruit and remove them Drop fruit into a syrup made from 6 cups boiling water and 6 cups sugar, cook just enough to fill two or three jars. When peaches are soft and done through, pack Into Jars that have been boiled for at least 6 minutes. Fill up with the syrup and cover with sterilized lids. Add more fruit to the kettle of syrup, and more sugar and wa ter if necessary and continue un til fruit is used. HOT WATER BATH Tack skinned halved fruit in to jars, add syrup made from cup for cup of sugar and water, put on the lids and set in hot water up to the neck of the jars. There should be a rack so that jars do not set directly on the bottom of the pan. Bring water to a full rolling boil and process 20 minutes. Mason or Presto lids must be tightened after removing, Kerr lids are tightened before processing. think the flavor warrants the loss of some of the peaches. PEACH CHUTXEY . Heat 4 quarts cubed peaches with 1 cup vinegar nntil steam ing, add cup finely diced on ion, 1 cup brown sugar, pound Beeded raisins, 2 table spoons mustard seed, 2 ounces finely diced ginger, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon paprika. Cook slowly until thick. PEACH PRESERVES Halve and slice 5 pounds peaches, add 10 cups sugar and let stand 1 hour. Cook slowly about 4 hour or until thick. A medium can of drained, crushed pineapple may be added before cooking it wanted. PICKLED PEACHES Make a syrup of 2 cups vine gar, 2 teaspoons stick cinnamon and 1 teaspoon cloves and 7 cups sugar. Pour over 7 pounds peeled fruit in a crock. Repeat this for 3 more days, each time heating the syrup. The fourth day, cook fruit until done if it is not already clear ana done.
