Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor $r. L.QR. My wife should encoiage her father to remarry. Mr. L. H. He's going into secorg) cFfjldhood. Mr. L. H. My fatier-in-law is a widower of 71. When his wife died two years ago,, he came to live with us. At first he was quite de pressed, but lately he has been duct, it would appar he is in stead trying to boost his morale and obtain reassurance from his daughter that she wants to keep him with her. He was probably testing his daughter's reaction at first and she made a mistake by laugh ing at the idea of a second mar riage and then not expressing her real feeling that he need never worry about being alone. going to meetings and various ! Now he seems to be trying very events with a croup of elderly people. He met some women and started going out with them. "He told my wife he ,would like to' get married again and she -just, laughed at him and told him not to make a foolof himself. Now, my father-in-law is in excellent health. He says-he does not want to spend his remaining years alone and I can't say I blame him. 1 feel my wife is very foolish. She ought to en courage him. Mrs. L. St. I didn't say any thing, but my "father hurt me very much by saying he didn t want to spend his remaining years afcne. He knows he'll al ways have home with us. 1 wouldn't object to his marry ing again he found a nice, woman and said simply. '"I'm gptting married.' Instead he talks endlessly , about his "dates" and his "girl" friends." He spends hours primping for one of TJiese dates and keeps askinecme. the children and our friends which "girl" we like bcj- I find the whole thing very embarrassing and ridici'loas. I 1q'Ow my father is in good health physically, cbut . mentally .he seems to be going into second cfnldhood, and I've told him so. Tha council: It does, not sound as though this elderly man is seriously thinking "of marriage at the Bioment.0From his con- a-V hard to call everyone's attention to the fact that he is perfectly capable of taking what probably seems to him a drastic, almost shocking step. Mrs. L. R. is aggravating the situation with her talk about his second childhood. This under mines the morale he is trying so hard to build up. She ought to listen to him serously. without mockery, when he discusses the problem with her. It would prob ably not be the best thing to en courage him, as M. L. B. sug gests, at this stage. It would be better to state her axact feelings tbat she would be glad if he found a nice woman with whom he could be happy, but until then she would like to see him happy in his present home. This man'is just getting over the shock of his wife's death. He is trying hard to regain his bal ance and can come out of his "second childhood." if treated tactfully. At that time he will be more capable of deciding for or against marriage. (Copyright 1956. General Features Corp.) Cranberry Sauce Here is something new in cookery.

Use Tribune Want Ads some pears, red or yellow apples or other fresh fruit. It is par ticularly perfect during the holi days when many of us have a tendency to eat heavier, richer meals than usual and could well do with a light dessert. So check on cheese supplies now.

Stir in one-half cup each minced fresh spinach, minced parsley, and grated sharp American cheese. Season to taste with grated onion, Worcestershire sauce and salt. Hake in moa eratcly slow oven, 275 degrees about 45 minutes. West Coast Favorite Stuffed Rock Cod Red Rock cod or rock fish ir caught from San Diego to Puget Sound. It is a firm textured, i lean, mild fish that is in season throughout the year. It is often split for broiling or frying and j is highly thought of when stuf- j fed and baked whole like this: Wash fish being sure it is thor- ; oughly clean, then grease well with oil or melted butter. Sprin kle with salt inside and out and let stand for about an hour be fore baking. Many think it su perior when soaked in lemon juice or rubbed with lemon. Fill with any desired stuffing (going a little heavy on the onions) and sew up with string. An oiled cheesecloth placed under the fish makes it easier to remove fish to platter. Brush fish with oil and place in hot oven, 450 degrees, for first ten minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees for continued cooking allowing ten minutes for each of the first four pounds and five minutes for each additional pound. Remove to hot platter, draw out string and serve at once garnished with parsley and plenty of lemon wedges. Papaya Appetizer. Here is a lip-smacking appetizer.

Cook together three-fourths cup sugar, two tablespoons water and two tablespoons orange juice until it forms a soft ball in cold water; takes about three minutes. Re move from heat, add one-half teaspoon grated orange rind and one cup shelled walnut halves. Stir until syrup begins to look cloudy. Before it hardens, turn out quickly onto waxed paper or greased baking sheet. Separate walnuts with two forks. These may be made in quantity and put in plastic bags for storage in the freezer. Tangy Spinach. Spinach and grapefruit are a perfect duo. Combine sauteed fresh grape fruit sections with cooked sea-1 soned spinach. It's low in cal ories and wonderfully, good. Roasted almonds give exception ally fine flavor and interesting texture when added to either a dry or moist stuffing for poul try. Frozen Foods Make Meal Planning Easy for Holiday With the tempo of .the holi day season increasing steadily homemakers will be taking even greater advantage of the vast numbers of frozen foods now available. Truly everything is there to make meal planning easy . . . from canapes ready to be put in a hot oven and served . . . to soup . . . right on through the menu to desserts, baked or ready to bake or just to be thawed and eaten. The frozen foods industry should be con' gratulated for making such things possible. Their standards of quality have always been high, and considering the low spoilage, no waste, easy-to-store features of these quickly pre pared food products the prices are remarkably low. Watch your frozen foods department for best buys, remembering to keep enough on hand for those un expected guests who are likely to drop in during the holiday season. Meat Department.
