Mothersof Brides Have
Menu Planning Problems
Br JEANNE LESEM
White Plains, N.Y. -Mothers
-of brides ask the
darndest questions about
menu planning.
One intrepid hostess once
wrote General Foods for a
menu that would serve 150
and could be prepared by one
or two persons. The home
economises suggested sand-wiches-chicke
nsalad, cream
cheese and nuts on whole
wheat, and ham, with punch;
cake, plain or with ice cream,
and coffee.
Another cook wanted to
know what to serve besides
cake, nuts and punch at an
outdoor evening reception for
530 guests. Still another plan
ned to bake rolls for 400
suests.
The food company's test
kitchen figured 600 rolls
would be sufficient (an aver
age of IVi rolls per person)
but advised against home bak
ing for all but the most ex
perienced cooks.
Suggestions
Questions such as these
prompted the home econom
ists to offer these general sug
gestions for hostesses who
plan to do their own catering
lor bridal parties:
If you are hostess at
pre-wedding meal, check with
the mother of the bride to
make sure you aren't duplica
ing her menu. If you are, it's
up to you to change yours.
Plan consomme instead
of cream soup or seafood

bisque or offer a choice, be
cause some guests may have
milk or seafood allergies.
Don t try to make cakes
and rolls at home if your
guest list runs to the hun
dreds. Go to a local bakery
ov a nearby restaurant whose
owner may be willing to or
der for you from the com
mercial bakery it uses.
Ask the baker if you are
unsure about the size of the
main cake, the amount need
ed, and the cutting procedure.
He may suggest that you or
der extra pans of cakes that
can be cut in the kitchen
while the bride and bride
groom cut the main one be
fore the guests. This way,
more guests can be served
promptly.
Serving sandwiches? Make
them a day ahead and pack
them in foil-lined, foil-cover
ed pans, one variety to a
pan, so that the bread stays
moist and the flavors don't
mix. Then, refrigerate until
serving time.
Save Trips
Save repeated trips to
the kitchen and keep service
plates full by stacking sand
wiches on -doilies on large
round plates. Separate the
layers with lace paper doil
ies that decrease about one
inch in diameter with each
stack. Use about four or five
layers only as many as will
look dainty and appetizing.
For greater variety, serve
both sandwiches and bite-
size cream puffs filled with
chicken or seafood salad. The
shells can be made ahead of
time and frozen, then thaw
ed and filled on the day of
the party.
If your guest list includes
both children and adults, plan
one menu to please both gen
erations. Here's a lunch menu
suggested by the home eco
nomists to serve 60 adults
and 14 children: sliced turkey
and ham, potato salad gar
nished with stuffed eggs and
cucumber slices, cubed toma
to aspic on salad greens with
French dressing, cake, ice
cream, coffee, a champagne
punch, and a non-alcoholic
punch. -PUFFY
Creamy chicken salad
makes an unusual filling for
tiny cream puffs. Blend two
tablcsnoons oi vinegar wun
one envelope of french salad
dressing mix and one cup of
dairv sour cream
Stir in three cups eacn or
finely chopped cooked chick
en and finely chopped celery,
and two tablespoons of
coarsely chopped walnuts.
Chill two hours to blend fla
vors. Remove shallow pieces
from tops of six dozen 1-incn
miffs, fill with chilled saiaa
and replace tops. Refrigerate
any that are not served im

we just sat and stared into space - we made ourselves as

almost three hours. Mostly we ran through a great stack

One was an advertisement headed " Just What the Doctor
Ordered" and guess what it was about - a genuine jade

than pills, more fun than a massage and soothing a!

objects to hold in the hand and play with do have a sooth

lough was elected vice presi
dent and Mrs. Frances Hardy
was reelected secretary-treasurer.
Mrs. Len Osgood is to

"My Life in Court" by Lou
Is Nizer was the book review
ed by Mrs. Harry Skerry. It
is the personal account of the
lawyer's experience and h I s
opinions on such significant
Issues as libel, divorce, pla
giarism, negligence and fac
tions. The author's widely publi
cized case of Quentin Reyn
olds vs. Westbrook Pegler fur
nished a large part of the re
view and was given in some
detail. The controversy stirred
recrimination and bitter
charges on both sides and
brought Into court an array
of celebrities in government
and journalistic circles.
Other cases cited by the
New York attorney had to do
with the differences between
the divorce laws of England
and this country. Only the ver
dict and actual outcome may
be reported in the press of
Great Britain. Cases of pla
giarism included the "lifting"
of melodies from songs, while
the author stated that charges
of negligence are among the
most difficult to prove.
Mrs. Harold Merrill chose
for her selected subject "The
Lady of the Louvre" based
upon an article in the National
Geographic by a Washington
newsman who accompanied
the famous smiling visitor to
the United States last spring.
In an imaginary interview
with ageless Mona Lisa travel
ing in air-conditioned privacy
the correspondent recounts
her life of 450 years ago, ask
ing questions about Floren
tine life and such current
events as Columbus' trip.
At the conclusion of Mrs.
Merrill's talk Mrs. Louise
Perozzi recalled seeing daVin
ci's preliminary paintings of
I the famous lady which she de
clared revealed a more beau
tiful expression than the well
known enigmatic smile in th
final portrait after three yeara
sitting for the artist.
Guests attending the lunch
eon meeting were Mrs. V. W.
Gore of Eupora, Miss., sister
in-law of Mrs. Lamb, and Mrs,
Robert Sharyon, Modesto, Cal
if., daughter-in-law of Mrs.

Oregon & Area
SOUVEIIIRS
The next clipping was a Wallachs' advertisement which
told about a straw hat being marketed in London - it has
zippered compartment in the crown for such "beach items
as car keys, sunglasses and ham-on-rye. wow tnis sounds
like a very practical idea, but why confine it's use to the
beach? For years Potpourri looked for some place to put
our car keys rather than in the boiioiti of a big purse filled
with a hundred other objects. However, now that a kind
friend gave up a key ring with a big, bright glass bead
ornament, our aroblem is partially solved, this is mucn
easier to carry (just slip it on the little finger while running
ouick errand into a store) and the bright ornament manes
it easier to find among the necessary junk in the handbag.
We also read about a church with an unusual problem -
too many persons want to get inside. It is the new Episcopal
cathedral in Coventry, England. This cathedral, built to re
place the one destroyed by bombing during World War II,
is becoming world tamous Decause oi us magnmceni arcni
tecture and setting and because of its extensive program to
reach Into the community." It has become one of England s
greatest tourist attractions and on a recent Sunday, 6,000
persons attempted to attend services were, ine cawcarai
had to turn away thousands and some who had waited a
long time in long "queues" as they say in fcngiana, wrote
angry letters. Some pointed out that those who were at
tempting to enter the church to pray should have precedence
over those who just wanted to see a beautiful building. Those
who want to enter to worship should be able to ao so, oi
course, but think of the dilemma of the tourist who has trav
eled thousands of miles to see the lamous DUiiaing ana wno
will never pass that way again.
We also read that a new edition - the 42nd - of the book,
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" is being issued. This book about
a professional lady has sold 2,000.000 copies since 1925. The
Times reporter had interviewee ine aumor, Anna uoos, wno
made a couple of astute observations on modern times.
There's no gaiety any more," said Miss Loos. "We just nave
grave' nuclear humor . . . Today, Freud has taken the fun
from life and given us guilt feelings. That's why we can't
go back. But who wants to?" She added philosophically
that "The astronauts will bring a breath of grandeur to life.
You can't go from an analysts couch into a space capsule.
New York City has talking trash containers. One Times
reporter told how a woman walking down one of the city s
streets threw a gum wrapper on the street only to have a
voice from the trash can say "Madam, a cleaner New York
is up to you!" When the woman turned around and glared
at the receptacle It said "I m wveiy louie ana i a ime
to be of use."
While the trash basket and the pedestrian carried on a
conversation which included information about wnai sne
did to earn a living and the name of her latest novel, a crowa
collected. Finally the woman said she had to.be running
along and the trash' can said "Goodby" In a polite tone.
This.-of course, is one of the gimmicks used in New xorK
to train residents to keep the streets clean. A two-way
microphone is put Inside the can and a Department of Sani
tation worker, concealed inside a ncaroy ouuaing, is ine
watchful voice. -
Later in the day when The Mail Tribune arrived we read
that the first woman cosmonaut had landed safely in Russia
after spending about three days orbiting the earth. Many
women in this country have expressed irritation that it had
to be a Russian woman and one feminine flyer even went
so far as to say that this country was about "a hundred
years" behind the times in its use of women in the field of
aviation. She exaggerated, ot course, but one can under
stand her annoyance.
If we can believe what we've read from many different
sources, women in this country fall behind the Russian wom
en in some other respects, too. There are many more Russian
women attorneys, doctors and scientists than in the United
States. Every writer or authority gives a different reason
for this being true. Since some American women do enter
these fields, and are successful, why don't more of them
do so? Wasted potential talent and ability is bad, whether
it is a man or a woman whose Inherent capabilities are not
being developed and used. This if one more problem which
this nation must tolveO.S.
