Jet Cook Prepares Food
In Booth-Sized Galley
By JEANNE LESEM
United Press International
New York-ftTD-Eileen Gilligan is a short order cook with
some of the fanciest fare and the best-known fares in the
world.
She regularly prepares seven course dinners for 40 per
sons in workspace about twice the size of a the telephone
booth.
Even kibitzers like comedian Danny Kaye and singer Kay
Starr don't shake the aplomb of this 28-year-old Pakistan
born brunette beauty, a galley attendant in the first class
section of overseas Jet clippers for Pan American World Airways.
Jet service increased her
workload, the petite (5-foot I
iVa-mcnj stewardess said in
an interview as she began her
second year aboard the fast
planes. Instead of heating
cooked food from airport
flight kitchens, she cooks roast
beef (three roasts of five
pounds each) in flight, and
steaks and chops to order in
two specially - designed electro-ray
ovens. She also heats
exotic fare, including game
birds.' sweetbreads and lob
ster thermidor with appropri
ate vegetables.
This is in addition to dish
ing up 40 elaborate continent
al dinners in about four hours.
Her schedule leaves little time
for hob-nobbing with celebri
ties aboard. So they come to
her, she explained.
Danny Kaye once spent an
entire flight at the galley, she
said. He staged a one-man
show for her benefit and
asked when she was going to
stop working long enough to
laugh.
Many Compliments
Many male passengers come
back after " dinner to extend
their "compliments to the
chef," but few women do, she
added. Perhaps because the
ladies are so tired of kitchen
chores, they're uninterested
in seeing quantity meals pre
pared in such close quarters.
One woman passenger who
did insist on helping was Kay
Starr, probably the most
glamorous dish dryer the air
line ever had. This KP assign
ment was a one-time thing,
the stewardess added; dish
washing customarily is done
by ground flight kitchens.
Miss Gilligan's busy routine
on four to five round trips a
month leaves the pretty
stewardess reluctant to spend
her days off in the kitchen in
her apartment in Forest Hills,
N.Y.
I still can't cook except in
a plane." she insisted. "I
learned to scramble eggs by
doing it in flight for 70 per
sons, in batches of 10 servings
each."
New Problems
No matter how small their
kitchens, earthbound hostess
es never face two problems
Miss Gilligan meets regularly.
Such as passengers who de
cide to roam the narrow aisle
just as dinner is served. Or
those who ask to delay din
ner, not realizing that the jet
plane's speed would get them
to their destination ahead of
dessert if their request were
granted.
Fortunately, a purser and
two cabin stewardesses take
care of ordering and serving.
This is done by seat numbers,
so Miss Gilligan rarely knows
who ordered what. But she is
snre that rare roast beef is the
all-time favorite.
One problem she shares
Friday, Jan. 15, 1960
with the rest of us varying
thicknesses of roast Keef cuts
makes guesswork of timing,
she said, but she hasn't burned
a roast yet.
And she has escaped the
crisis faced by another flying
cook who had dinner ready to
serve when a group of Mos
lem passengers explained it
was time for evening prayers.
While the roast cooled, they
knelt in the aisle, facing Mec
ca, and prayed for about 30
minutes.

Fabrics for Spring Fabricated
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York -(LTD- Some fab
rics for spring add up to a
lot of fabrication.
Silks are labeled worsted
because they are woven to
look like that smooth-finished
wool. Wools are dubbed
chiffon when they're so filmy
they need a lining for mod
esty. Or, they're called linen
when they're woven to look
like that fiber.
Pique, once a ribbed cotton,
now also is a ribbed silk. Silk
and dacron are blended into
a tweed for suiting. Chantil
ly lace is dyed into a plaid,
of all things. And even striped
cotton ticking is cast in an
off-pace role. One designer
uses it for cocktail and din
ner dresses.
One characteristic light
ness is universal for spring,
no matter what the fabric
name. Designers brag about
four-ounce wools and feather
weight tweeds. Fabrics are
both textured and flat in sur
face.
Checks and plaids small,
medium and large - run
through the collections which
New York couture members
are showing this week for
visiting fashion reporters. And
cotton gingham, pin-checked,
gets a glamour treatment with
all-over coverage of sequins.
Varied Print Designs
Prints never have been
prettier, or more plentiful,
with soft misty color and
artistic design. These include
small geometries, all - over
florals, abstracts, tone on
tone, and some conversation
makers-theater ticket stubs,
I French calendar dates and
I seaweed motifs.
Here are highlights from
individual designers who
showed Wednesday:
Anne Fogarty-This design
er balances her collection be
tween the slim and the full
skirted dress. She calls the
slim the "quarter moon
sheath." with tab belt to ac
cent the waist. The full is
typically Fogarty - bouffant
skirt with layers of petticoat.
Larry Aldrich-This design
er predicted that the next ma
jor fashion change would be
toward the lengthened torso.
He lengthened it either by
leaving the waist unbelted
and giving an unbroken line
from bust to hipbone, or with
wide, crushed suede belts
swung low.
Harry Frechtel-Checks and
plaids dominate the suit and
coat group. Skirts look nar
row but are easier to move
in, oecause oi uouoie yicai
gores.
Vera Stewart-This design
er is best known for- her
sweater - dress coordinates.
Cashmeres cardigans dyed to
match the dresses came with
pipings or fagoting of the silk
print of the dress, identical
chalk or crystal headings, or
miniature flower baskets.
Ben Reig - Elbow length
cape and cape effects were
used in many daytime cos
tumes and the cape look car
ried over into evening wear
with huge collars on chiffon
dresses. Reig suits came in
four variations. The waist
defining suit had a wedge-like
cut to the bodice of the jacket
and a skinny skirt. The non
chalant suit had a hint of
fit through the bodice and
the jacket ended at the upper
hipbone. One group was leather-belted
to create a peplum
effect in the jacket. The
cropped suit had a jacket of
bolero length and was shown
with both slim and pleated
skirts.
Nettie Rosenstein-The de
signer softened the silhouette
by raising the neckline of
dresses,' deepening the arm
holes and giving a loose look
to sleeves. She lowered the
waistline with shirred detail-

Rogue Camp Fire Girls
council will hold the monthly
songfest Saturday. January 16
in the Medford YMCA Social
hall.
Blue Birds will meet from

point, Eagle Point, and Phoe
nix are invited.
The songfests are planned

gramming and provide the
girls an opportunity to gather
with other groups in the

Rogue Camp Fire Girls
council currently serves over
1,000 girls and adults in Jack
son county'. Each of the more
than 70 groups are supervised
by a trained adult leader.
