January 19. lkil Cookbook Is Help if to Serve Crowd There's something especially swish about cooking right before the eyes of your guests, to say nothing of the advantages of serv :lng food really hot, with none of -the appetizing aromas lost. That, plus the fact that hot one-dish main courses are perennially popular for entertaining .especial ly during the winter months, part ly accounts for the appeal of The Chafing Dish Cook Book, by John and Marie Roberson, recently published by Prentice-Hall, Inc., New York. The recipes sound in triguing, too. One of the most useful chapters is "Serving a Crowd," because chafing-dish cookery is most fun when guests are present when the hostess can be with her guests while the meal is in the making. Here is a recipe from this useful chapter for oysters, popular with everyone. This recipe not only il lustrates the usefulness of this particular chapter, but indicates the pattern of the book, with di rections for each recipe divided between "Behind the Scenes" and "Before the Guests." i OYSTERS A LA CREMET i cup butter 1 tablespoon salt 2 bay leaves, finely crushed 2 tablespoons cracker crumbs 1 quart light cream dash of nutmeg or mace 3 dozen oysters 1 teaspoon quick-cooking tapioca 2 egg yolks toast Behind the Scenes Drain oysters. Run fingers through to remove any bits of shell. Separate eggs (reserve egg white for some future dish). Crush bay leaves very fine. Before the Guests Melt butter In blazer pan of chafing dish. Stir In tapioca. Add cream gradually; then salt, nutmeg, bay leaves, cracker crumbs. Cook for 10 min utes. Do not boiL Add beaten egg yolks and cook for 5 minutes. Add eysters and cook until edges curl. Serve on hot buttered toast with a grind of fresh pepper over top. Serves 8. Dessert Finds Peaches, Crumbs Canned peaches (or fresh, when In season) are an ingredient for this, dessert. BAKED PEACH PUDDING (Serves 6 to 8) 2 2 cups milk, scalded cups whole wheat brer-" crumbs cup sugar eggs, beaten teaspoon nutmeg 2 teaspoon salt cups peaches, sliced 2 2 tablespoons butter Pour hot milk over bread trumbs, cool.

Placed ' - - v Mvs. Arrangement is important at the buffet table. Here are cold meats and spiced fruits and vegetables, arranged on a large tray for at tractive appearance. Sliced ham or roasts might be used. Beauty of arrangement lies in variety of shapes and textures as well as placement. Be sure all shapes are not the same and that colors contrast Strength Against the Heat for Iron Cover When the cover or pad on the ironing board goes to pieces from scorch or heat damage and new fabric must be put on, its a nuisance to jthe housewife and a waste and expense over the years. To the com mercial laundry the weekly replacement of covers and pads for "hot head" presses is an important item of expense, both in material and labor. This industry has long needed fabric which resists that damag ing trio heat, moisture and oxy- gen plus the strain of pressing A promising answer Is "partially acetylated" cotton fabric, develop ed" at the southern regional re search laboratory of the U. S. de partment of agriculture. This chemical treatment was developed in a search for ways to make cotton mildewproof. Tests show that it gives cotton fabric resistance to heat as well as mildew, yet does not change the appearance or "feel" of the fabric. As defense demands for cotton increase, this treatment may prove an important economy and enable cotton to com pete successfully with the newer synthetic fabrics for laundry press covers. Tests In laundries show that acetylated cotton lasts three to four times, sometimes five or six times, as long as the usual canvas covers in this severe service. Acetylation gives so much heat resistance that fabric of much lighter weight and lower cost may be used satisfact orily. The chemists also found that washing out starch and stains with a non-alkaline detergent makes press covers last longer. Napped flannel, often used for padding under the cover, also proved more durable when acety lated. Similar fabric saving in house hold ironing tests are reported. Acetylated sheeting under a house hold iron as hot as 375 F. scorch ed less than untreated cloth and Color i Measwt-chart inside carton makes it easy to cut small portions for recipes! Just So V held 80 percent of its streneth when scorched to a point where plain cotton would be useless. Acetylation is an industrial pro cess, not a treatment that could be given cotton at home. As yet acetylated cotton fabric is not on the market. Breakfast Cereal Flavors Pudding Breakfast bran joins up with honey to make a good family des sert.
