been not just a source of fruit
for a few thousand years, but

.Cherries are identified with j
love and marriage: "Can she
bake a ch&ry pie, Billie Boy?"
Then, too, the cherry canners
thisik it a fine idea for us to pick
a few cans of cherries off the
grocers' shelves before the new
aeason cherries start blossoming.
Sweet cherries, we feel a com
pulsion to say, are grown almost
ntirely in the Pacific Northwest
and in California (89 per cent of
them); are mostly eaten out-of-hand
in season. Royal Anns, the
large, heart-shaped amber to
yellow with a red blush, is the
west coast's principal canning
variety.
Red sour cherries, the pie
making kind are grown mostly
In Michigan with a few put up in
our Pacific Northwest.
Maraschino cherries have
been enjoyed for three centuries
now. In recent years, they've be
come a bifwest coast industry.
Our world - renowned Royal
Anna are processed to give the
distinctive maraschino texture,
flavor and color liked by every
one. Popular uses for these are

Many Maraschino Uses
Long a favorite with ice cream
manufacturers, sundae sauce
makers, bakers and chocolate
dippers, glassed maraschino
cherries are also an increasingly
popular item with the home
maker who keeps them on hand
in both red and green, but most
ly red for a wide variety of uses.
Maraschino cherries dress up
salads and frozen desserts of all
kinds; andd color and interest
to fruit cocktails and compotes;
go into sherbets and ice creams.
They're colorful, tasty and dec
orative for topping pies and
cakes, custards, iced drinks,
breads and cookies; go into
sauces, candies, frostings, jams
and preserves. They also go into
sandwich spreads and nearly all
fruit cakes.

Good Valentine Parry
Ideas For Family Fun
Even with Valentine'i Day
falling on Thursday, which will
cut down on the partying,
there's no reason why the family
shouldn't have a gay time by
themselves.
Paper napkins and place mats
or doilies or tablecloth will
gaily dispose of the laundry
problem and create atmosphere
inexpensively. Place cards and
miniature bags of candy tied
with red ribbons can serve as
favors and don't forget mints for
munching with the coffee serv
ice.
Or sprinkle bright red hearts,
cupids and or arrows cut from
red paper over a snowy white
cloth. Perhaps large hearts for
place mats and cupids or ar
rows as place cards using white
ink. Now there's a project for
your artistically inclined child
ren. Paper lace doilies make
ideal frills for bouquets of all
sizes.
Colorful Food Ideas
Any or all of the following
menu suggestions can go a long
way toward creating atmos
phere. Cream of tomato soup or
tomato consomme (heated and
seasoned tomato juice) with
heart-shaped croutons . . . Celery
curls with pimiento cheese stuf
fing. . . Stuffed olives.. .Chicken
or tuna shortacake with pimien
to flecks . . . Tossed green salad
with pink mayonnaise (juice add
a drop or two of red coloring)
. . .Glazed cinnamon red apples
with heart shaped cookies or
Valentine cake . . . Red and
white candy.
Sweetheart cookies can be
made from any cookies recipe
and iced in white and red.
Heart-shaped biscuits, perhaps
with bits of pimiento or made
with tomato juice in place of the
usual milk can top any favored
creamed chicken, shrimp, meat
pie or other dish.
Valentine Salad. Place board
er of thin strips of pimiento
around bottom of heart shaped
or other mold. Place heart cut
from pimiento in center. Fix one
box lime or lemon flavored
gelatin according to package
directions. AVhen partly firm,
add l',2 cups cottage cheese, one
half cup chopped celery and a
dash of salt; mix well. Fill mold
with gelatin. Chill. When firm,
turn out on lettuce or other
greens. Spicy Pink Mayonnaise.
This is particularly good on tos
sed green salads and on tomato
aspic. To one cup mayonnaise
add four tablespoons ketchup,
two teaspoons Worcestershire
sauce and one-half teaspoon
garlic powder. Salt and pepper
to taste. Or perhaps a dash of
tabasco.

Asides
As for all star stage casts, the
following performers were all
in the cast of a musical show
titled "Vera Violetta": Al Jolson,
Mae West, Gaby Deslys, Belle
Baker, Frank Tinney, Stella
Mayhew, Melville Ellis and An
nette Kellerman . . . As you
know, Portland Hoffa (Mrs. Fred
Allen), was born in Portland,
Ore., and named after that city
by her parents. But did you
know Portland has a sister
named Lebanon, who was born
in Lebanon, Pa. She was lucky
she wasn't born in Punxsutaw-
ney.
Sidelights
When New York's Bellevue
Hospital training school for
nurses was established 75 years
ago the trainees wore badges on
which there was a picture of a
stork. The stork was said to be
an emblem of watchfulness"
. . "Scotch and soda" is an
English idea. The Scotch are
against it. They claim it injures
the whisky. A Scot favors tak
ing his whisky straight with a
drink of water following.
Favorite
A Brooklynite, who says I
seem to have many likes and dis
likes similar to those of her
husband, asks what my favorite
dinner is. I have several such
favorites. One is as follows: To
start, a triple highball of Scotch
and plain water. Then a lobster
cocktail, roast beef, mashed po
tatoes and gravy, corn on cob.
green peas and strawberry short
cake. Followed by coffee, cog
nac and a Havana cigar.
Doctors
A doctor or surgeon over 40
years of age who is still a
bachelor is a rarity. Doctors and
surgeons believe that unless they
are married people will not have
confidence in their steadiness.

Nurses make the best wives for
doctors and surgeons.
Culinary Classic
Recently mentioned on one of
those television quiz programs
was "Mrs. Eeeton's Cook Book."
Is your wife amiliar with this
culinary classic? She should be.
When she began this book, Mrs.
Beeton was 23 years old. She
finished it when 26. She died
when 28. In her brief married
life she also gave birth to four
children .
Get It Right
The Irish originated both the
kilt and the bagpipes. So I note
it stated. That s wrong. The Ro
mans originated the kilt. The
Chinese originated the bagpipe.
However, the Irish had both the
kilt and the bagpipe before the
Scots.
Among The Married
Of newly married couples,
one in 10 will have a baby with
in nine months. Seven in 10 will
have a baby within two years.
One in 10 will have a baby after
two years. One in 10 will be
childless. When a couple is child
less, the husband is responsible
in 40 per cent of the cases. So
say the experts on the subject.
Almost Confidential
How long did your marriage
ceremony last? In Las Vegas,
Nev by requesting the "special
urgency ceremony," a couple can
be married in three minutes and
50 seconds . . . The reason real
ly intelligent women rarely go
hatless is because they know
the face is what first attracts the
male eye and. therefore, should
be properly framed.
Habits
Is cigaretie smoking a life
shortener? You can't prove it by
the life of King Gustavus V of
Sweden. He smoked an average
of 25 cigarettes a day for over
70 years. He lived to be 92 . . .
Sacha Guitry, French actor and
playwright, who has been mar
ried five times, once observed,
"One can always be faithful to
love, just change the woman."
