Use Heart-Shaped
Cookie-Cutter for
St. Valentine Party
Pimento and Red Gelatin in Fancy Designs Can
' Produce Magic for Your Table
By VIRGINIA ROSS
Home Economics Editor
NOT that 1 confine it to any
one month oh dear no
this business of entertaining. I
love to nave
roiKB about
me people I
like, of course,
and who will
forgive the
hole burned in
the tablecloth,
and dinner late
a few minutes.
But when Feb
ruary comes
along Febru
ary with all its
gay red-letter
days then do
I rush to the
telephone, dig
Virginia Ross
out my heart-shaped cookie cut
, ters and observe every occasion
possible.
A lot of you will say it's so
much foolishness, but I have
always taken advantage of every
opportunity to add a new note to
our tables. Goodness knows, most
of them lead, in even the very
best of homes, a drab beef steak,
gravy-and-mashed-potato exist
ence. To say nothing of the rut
which constant repetition Of the
Daily Three has brought to the
food-weary goddess of the hearth
side. So when February dances into
our calendar, you'll find me ob
serving, even if it's just for home
folks, the festive days it brings.
Anyhow, the youngsters will be
demanding a Valentine party, bo
why not deliberately introduce it
into our meal planning.
PLENTY OF COLOR
IT needn't cost much money.
Given a can of pimento, a pack
age of red gelatin, and a heart
shaped cutter, you'll be surprised
at the magic you can produce.
The pimento gives life and verve
to creamed dishes leftovers, U
you please. Served up in :heart
shaped bread cases, crispy
bronzed from the oven or deep
fat-frying kettle who, I ask you,
could refuse yesterday's fowl, or
the obliging canned tuna?
Add it to the sauces for your
white vegetables, cauliflower,
cabbage, potatoes. Use it in your
salads. Cut it in fancy little de
signs, hearts predominating, to
use as a garnish for sandwiches
FOR VITAMINS
A cup of chocolate has as. much
energy value as three eggs, or
four slices of cooked bacon. It
boasts Vitamins A, C and G. It's
rich in body-building protein in
life-protecting, life-prolonging cal
cium. And it has just enough fat
to be easily digested.

and appetizers. It "keeps," by the
way, if you pour a bit of salad

in your refrigerator.
The red gelatins, as you well
know, offer all manner of salad
and dessert possibilities, alone,
whipped or In combination with
fruits, and even vegetables,

AND heart-shaped cutters.
They cost so little and mean
so much. Sandwiches, appetizers,
soup accompaniments of brea.d,
any of these take on a new charm
when given a new shape. And I
like to bake my little old "plain
cake" in a shallow pan, cut it in
heart shapes, when cool, and
frost 'em over for partners to
desserts. The squares left from
the cutting may be used by filling
the holes with a whipped-cream
gelatin dessert, or some such.
Oookies and little tarts are de
licious, to say nothing about the
allure they possess. Don't you re
member the heart-shaped cookie
tarts of your kid days, with the
currant jelly filling, and the sug
ary top? And, backing up a bit,
there are heart biscuits (I like to
make them, using tomato juice
instead of milk as the liquid, and
stirring some grated American
cheese into the dry mix). And
biscuit dough hearts atop the
meat pie.
Once you're started you'll be
finding all manner of ways of
adding the charm of the season
to your tables, company or no.
(Though I do think most of us
are vain enough to like an au
dience for our works of art!)
You'll find it bringing a lilt to
the spirit, that you though could
only exist in those long-gone
years of your youth! ... A can
of pimento, even paprika, a pack
age of red gelatin, and a heart
shaped cutter!
Whether or not you top this
pie with hearts, you'll be "the
tops" in your King of Heart's
eyes. It's one of those perennially
good dishes, and an all-in-one. . . .
Something Truly Good
Is Tuna Fish Pie
POUR Into a small saucepan
the oil from 1 medium or large
can of tuna. Add 1 tablespoon of
finely chopped onion; cook slowly
five minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons
flour and blend well. Add 2 cups
of milk and cook until thick, stir
ring all the time. Carefully stir
in:
2 cup diced cooked potatoes
2 cup diced cooked carrots
iit enp diced cooked celery
Cooked or canned peas, if do
sired
The flaked tuna
$ hard-cooked egys, chopped
A bit of parsley
Turn into a baking dish, cover
with biscuit rounds or hearts. Or
roll the biscuit dough as for jelly
roll, after first spreading with
melted butter, then cut in 34 -inch
slices. Bake in a hot oven, 450
degrees. 15 or 20 minutes, or un
til biscuits are browned and
cooked through.
This is excellent if cream of
mushroom soup Is used instead of
milk.
Serve with a fruit salad, and
not much else, or a salad of
mixed greens, and a simple fruit
or custard dessert.
This may be made up in the
morning, all but the biscuit top
ping, stored away and bakjd
when desired.

Authority on Women's Attire
THE importance of certain fun
damental dress principles can
not be too strongly stressed if a
woman would appear at her best.
It is not a matter of how much
money you sperid, but how much
care you exercise in your dress
ing. I am making a few important
suggestions for the women who
desire to be well and smartly
attired. They may be followed
from week to week and in the
course of a little time each reader
will become an authority on
dress.
SCIENCE OF CLOTHES
Every person is a distinct color
type. The color category into
which a woman belongs is deter
mined by the color of either her
hair, eyes or skin. It is her first
task to decide which of these
three features imparts the strong
est color appeal. In the majority
of cases it is either the hair or
the eyes. Occasionally it is the
skin which possesses the most
outstanding characteristics. In
any event, when the color note
has been decided upon, the woman
is ready to go ahead and plan her
dress needs.
PERSONALITY
The costume should never be
allowed to overshadow the wearer. .
In other words, a woman's clothes
must never be more forceful than
her personality. The key to her
personality lies in the woman's
face. For this reason it is to the
face that the attention should be
turned. The costume is pleasing
not for itself alone, Its main pur
pose being to enhance the attrac
tiveness of the wearer. It should
be remembered at all times that
clothes are a background, and
not the main attraction. A cos
tume is planned to accent the
face. The completed picture is
composed of the costume plus the
wearer.
COLOR BALANCE
Color plays a dual role in the
realm of women's attire. It can
either be an aid in brightening
the appearance or a medium
through which balance is at
tained. Every woman has at least
one quality, which, if properly
studied and developed, will be
come the foundation of her whole
plan by which she may capture
charm and beauty for herself.
COLOR EFFECT ON THE FACE
Clever manipulation of color is
a most successful medium to em
ploy in playing up to one's best
quality. It may be the eyes which
have the greatest appeal. This
being the case, the intelligent
woman will dress in a manner
aimed to make the most of their
unusual glints. Never attempt to
make the eyes appear a different
shade by wearing colors in direct
contrast to their actual hue.
Tonal blending of hues, rather
than harsh, discordant notes. Is
indicative of a cultured color
taste.
PROPER COLORS FOR
BLONDES
The blonde Is always at hoi
best in black. Blues, greens and
violets contrast with the hair and
increase its golden color. If not
too Intense for her delicate skin
and hair coloring, red, orange and
yellow will harmonize with the
eyes and lend warmth to the skin.
Cool blue-green is also a very be
coming shade for this type. She
will do well to avoid dead white,
pastel tones and warm brown
MANY a boy has been Inspired
to pattern his own life work
after the career of someone he
has read about and admired. It
was just so with a little Italian
hoy who lived In Florence many
years ago.
Amerigo was the boy's name,
and he loved reading about the
Journeys of Marco Polo much
more than he cared about study
ing mathematics. (His father
wanted him to be an accountant.)
Amerigo grew to manhood,
and had to help support his
father's large family . . . natur
ally he had no time to make
voyages for the thrill of adven
ture. However, he DREAMED
about them, and in the home of
Berandl (the map-maker who
helped Columbus prepare for his
second Joumey in 1493), he met
and talked to Christopher.
Berandl died, just when he was
ready to get another fleet on lta
way. So Amerigo took over the
job. He mads four voyages to
the Western world.

Introduction to a Description of
the World." This article -was
written in Latin, and much of it
was suggested by letters written
by Amerigo about his travels to
the land Columbus had discov
ered before him.
But the German geography
teacher credited Amerigo in this
way, "Tho Fourth part of the
world having been discovered by
Americo Vespucci, It may be
called Amcrlgc; that is, the land
of Americus, or America."
Almost all of Europe read
l.atin In those days, and so the
name given to this continent by
a German teacher, has stayed
with it ever since.
Doesn't It seem It should have
been called after Christopher
Columbus ... the first great
sailor of them all 7
Some people blame Vespucci
because his name was given to a
continent he did not discover.
But that ia unfair, too. WhrQ
Columbus died, he believed to the

passage to the Indies. But
Amerigo Vespucci knew that
what Columbus had found was

RANCH MYSTERY
A STORY FOR CHILDREN
By Paula Norton :
Beth came out from the Ktist to
lire with an Aunt and Uncle, and
two boy cousins on a Nevada
cattle ranch. When she arrived at
the lonely little station late in the
efCHiHf, there was no one there
to meet her. 8he slept all night
on the station platform, and at
dawn her two roiuviti.t, Tim and
Ron, etime riding up to take her
to the ranch. On the ride back the
boys explained that they could
not have come for her earlier be
vtiuse cattle thieves had stolen
two of their saddle horses, and
wounded her Uncle.
CHAPTER S.
WHILE tho boys and Beth
moved down the road, Ron,
the talkative one, kept up a lively
flow of conversation.
"Gee, it was tough about the
saddle horses. They were good
ones, too," he said to no one in
particular.
"Well," Tim replied, "It was
your fault. Dad told you to put
'em in their stalls."
"Aw, I was goln' to, but I
wanted to finish readln' that air
plane story in the Carson City
paper."
Beth did not enter the conver
sation, but she was an Interested
listener. She loved the horseback
ride through the early morning
. , . the great distances, so unlike
the crowded city of her home. She
thought, too, about the lost horses
and the desperate men who had
shot her Uncle. She had never seen
him, but her mother had often
spoken of his kindliness, and his
brave Wostern ways.
The boys argued and re-lived
the happenings of the night be
fore, while the horses walked side
by side through the yellow dust.
In an hour, the ranch house, low
and rambling, came into view.
Ron pointed. "There's the ranch,
and I'm hungry as a coyote."
"Well, that won't do you any
good, unless you feel like, cook
ing," said Tim. Then he explained
to Beth, "You see Mom ia over at
the Woods' Ranch, helping to take
care of the old Grandma. She's
sick. That's why we couldn't go
for you last night. There wouldn't
a been anybody to stay with Dad."
"YA," Ron added. "I went for
the doctor. He lives a heck of a
long way off, and I sure laid the
leather on that horse I rode."
"That's right, Ron," Tim smiled.
"You toll her what a great guy
you arc."
Ron looked a little embarrassed,
but not at all dampened in spirit.
Beth thought them both very en
tertaining. And she was begin
ning to feel that living on a Ne
vada ranch with two boys who
could ride miles in the night for
a doctor ... an uncle who bravely
tried to defend his property
against cattle thieves . . . and an
aunt who went miles to help a
neighbor in time of illness, was
not going to be a dull life at all.
When they arrived at the ranch
house, tho boys helped her down
from the horse and untied her
bundles. Two sheep dogs came out
to the fence with friendly wags.
Inside the darkened room across
the front of the house Beth saw
a big man lying on an old brown
leather couch.
She walked slowly over to him.
The man opened his eyes and
smiled. He sat up and took her
hand In his. "Well, well, Betty's
little girl Beth. I'm sure happy to
have you here, honey. My, you're
right thin, so I see. That's 'cause
you've lived too long In the city.
We'll fatten you up in no time."
"I hope you're feeling better,
Uncle Walter," Beth said. She felt

happy now, and really safe for the
first time since she left her mother
at the ticket-gate of the Eastern
railway station.
Her uncle turned to the two
boys grinning in the doorway.
"Well, you're a fine pair of gents.
Don't stand there like a couple of
wall-eyed yearlings . . . get the
young laily some lunch.'Why, she
hasn't even had any breakfast."
As the boys slipped out, he
turned back to Beth. "I'm all
right, honey. It was just a ping
in tho shoulder flesh. I bet those
young Indians of mine have given
you a scare about the wlldncss of
this country."
"No, Uncle Walter," Both
smiled. "I'm not afraid, but I am
sorry about the lost horses, and
about you being hurt."
"Well, those things happen
sometimes in this country, and
I'm not takin' it with a grin. No,
sir, I'm planntn' to hunt down that
gang , , . hog-tie 'em and lead 'cm
right to the sheriff."
"Did you get to see who they
were, Uncle Walter?" Beth asked,
as she curled up on the foot of the
couch.
"No, honey, I didn't get a real
good look because it was too dark.
1 been thinkin' about 'em all morn
ing and it may be a gang gotten
together by a Mexican named
Juan. He worked for me once as
a cow-hand, but he was lazy, and
I fired him. Still, it may be some
body else. I don't know for sure."
Just then a loud crash of tin
ware and crockery boomed above
the conversation. The crash was
followed by the raised voices of
Ron and Tim in heated argument.
Then Ron rushed across the house
and stuck his head In the door. His
face and hands were white with
flour. Beth laughed aloud with
delight.
"Dad," he shouted, "Tim upset
the . biscuit dough I was niakln',
and it flew all over the kitchen
floor. Make him get out while I
fix this meal."
Uncle Walter looked at Beth
with an expression of mock de
spair. She rose and laid aside her
hat and coat. She smiled down at
the man on the couch. "I guess
I'd better take charge of the
kitchen until Aunt Mary comes
home."
A broad grin spread through
the flour on Ron's face. "Well,"
he said, "that's what I call a
thought." Then he shouted toward
the kitchen, "Make way, Tln-Pan
Timothy . . , here comes the new
cook!"
