Floberg, wife of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Air, speaks the same language as her husband when it comes to matters nautical. She's a former WAVE. The Floberg apartment is filled with pictures, posters, books and all manner of naval memorabilia. Even the Flobergs' black cocker spaniel bears a Navy name, "Mid watch," and her puppies, now in other homes, were christened "Jet Pilot," "Blinker" and "Soups" (Senior Officer Present, U. S.). Currently, the young and attrac tive Navy wife is "hitting the deck" as the busy chairman of the committee organizing a huge ball to be staged at the Naval Gun Factory this month for the bene fit of the Navy Relief Society. Since 1902 the society has served as the Navy's welfare unit. Mrs. Floberg, who was born in Chicago and graduated from Trin ity College in Washington in 1940, joined the WAVEs in the fall of 1942 and entered the service's first midshipman's class at Smith Col lege. "I consider this the most in teresting and valuable experience I've ever had," she told me. And Mrs. Floberg, who is noted for her chic, added: "The WAVE uniform was the most becoming outfit I've ever had." Though their families had known each other for many years it wasn't until she was a student at Trinity and Mr. Floberg a law student at Harvard that they met. They were married in 1944, when Mr. Floberg, then a lieutenant commander on a destroyer escort, got three weeks leave from the Mediterranean before going to the Pacific. "I actually had only four days leave," Mrs. Floberg said. "We came back to Washington right after the ceremony so T could go back to my job in the office of the Chief of Naval Operations." After the war, Cmdr. Floberg returned to Chicago to practice law until December 1949, when he came to the capital. In addition to her Navy relief work and the social obligations of an official Washington wife, Mrs. Floberg is studying at George town University's School of Lin guistics for her master's degree. She's fond of cooking, collects recipes, especially for curry dishes, but she's an expert on wild game goose, duck, deer which her husband totes home from hunting trips during the fall and winter. As for herself, Mrs. Floberg would rather fish. "We haven't had a va cation really, ever," the said, "and I'm going fishing next month if I have to go by myself." SUMMER SALADS IfariHv July is berry month, and through the strawberry season is practically past with only a few remaining in the markets from bp the valley.

' - Bananas Join Cheese, Juice In Cold Pie A pie that Is a cook's dream or a hot day dessert is banana refrigerator cheese pie. It's so cool and refreshing with a smooth, del icate texture, a rich and wonder ful cheese and banana filling and a generous lining of crisp crumbs for a crust. Best of all, there's no baking required, not even for the crust. The first gleam of this recipe came from a cook book of the Woman's Society of Christian Ser vice of the Clifton Dale Methodist Church of Saugus, Mass. Home economists tried their recipe and liked it so much, that they made it up again and added a layer of diced, fully ripe bananas between the crust and the rich, creamy, cheese filling. A little more streamlining, and the recipe was born. The bananas make this cheese pie particularly delicious. Bananas cave an accommodating way of blending with almost any flavor, and they were never a more de licious asset than in this distinc tive cheese pie. To capture the peak of sweet, mellow banana flavor for this pie, choose fully ripe bananas that have yellow peel flecked with brown.

Here's a new quirk for a cake meringue shells that take pre-sweetened popped cereal to give crispness. The picture shows It in the more super colossal deluxe form, which fills it with ice cream and tops it with the crushed, sweet ened fruit. Secret of meringue techniques is getting the egg white pro perly whipped. Eggs not too fresh will whip more readily and give greater volume, probably the only known advantage of old over new eggs. Fold the crunchy cereal in at the last minute so it will remain crisp. PUFFED CORN MERINGUE SHELLS 3 egg whites 4 cup sugar teaspoon salt Vt teaspoon vanilla flavoring V teaspoon cream of tartar 8 cups pre-sweetened puffed corn Beat egg whites until frothy; sprinkle with salt and cream of tartar.

Variation: Banana Refrigerator Cheese Cake: This recipe may be made into a cake if desired, by doubling the ingredients in the recipe and using one 9-inch spring from pan in place of the pie pan. (A spring form pan is a round baking tin from which the side can be re moved, to allow for serving the cake from the bottom of the pan.) Line only the bottom -of the spring form pan with crumbs.
