THRIFT CUTS—MORE MEAT FOR YOUR MONEY
(See Recipes Below)
MEATS FOR BUDGET MEALS
If you’re meat-wise, then you’re
budget-wise! For the less expensive
cuts of meat have
a way of making
food dollars real
ly s-t-r-e-t-c-h.
What’s more,
the thrift cuts of
meat are equally
as chock full of
flavor, health
guarding vita
i. l.-.-.tn—mins, body-build
ing proteins and minerals as the
more expensive ones. When you
buy a chuck roast instead of chops;
hamburger instead of steak; or baby
beef liver instead of calves liver,
your economy isn’t depriving your
family or guests of even a teeny,
weeny bit of food value. That's the
verdict of nutrition experts. And
they know.
Economy in purchasing meat
comes from knowing the wide vari
ety of different meat cuts available,
and from purchasing some of the
cuts which are not in greatest de
mand. For example, a pot roast of
beef, delicious as it is and as much
as it is enjoyed by everyone, sells
for considerably less per pound than
a rib roast of
beef. The reason,
of course, is that
there is a greater 1
demand for rib
roast. I

food budget, at the same time add

company meals, by following to
day’s penny-pincher recipes.
'Stuffed Shoulder of Lamb.
(Pictured above)
How to Buy: Good quality lamb is
„ pinkish and well-marbled with fat.
Outside fat is smooth, hard, glossy
snd cream-white. Look for both gov
ernment inspection stamp and pack
er’s private grade stamp. Find the
grade that suits you, then always
buy it. Ask you meat man to bone
the shoulder, leaving a cavity to fill
with stuffing. (You can use the
bones for broth, soup or gravy ■
stock.)
How to Ccok: Prepare a well-sea
soned stuffing; fill cavity, then sew
up edges or skewer in place. Weigh
meat after stuffing to compute cook
ing time. Place fat side up on rack
in open pan, rub with salt and pep
per. Cook in slow oven (325 de
grees F.), allowing about 35 min
utes per pound. Garnish with mint
leaves and a vegetable; serve. De
licious!
Dressing for Lamb.
2 slices bacon
2 cups bread crumbs
1 cup sour apples, chopped
1 cup raisins
V4 cup celery, chopped
Fry bacon until crisp and add to
bread crumbs, raisins, diced apples
and celery. Season with salt and
pepper and pile lightly into cavity
in lamb shoulder.
Eye-of-Round Roast.
How to Buy: The lean of beef
should be well-marbled with fat,
firm, smooth, glossy: soon after the
meat is cut, the surface should turn
bright red. The outer fat should
be fairly thick, firm, flaky, cream
white. In lower grades fat is soft
er, yellower. Though price per
pound will perhaps exceed that of
rib roast, it is all solid meat—no
bones, no fat, no waste of any kind.
LYNN SAYS:
Spread apple or crabapple jelly
over the top of roasting ham,
veal or pork for the last 30 min
utes. The jelly gives an appetiz
ing flavor and a glossy brown top.
Crumbled bacon adds a won
derful new flavor to cooked green
beans, yellow or white squash,
browned navy beans or spinach.
Add the bacon in the last 5 min
utes.
Long, slow cooking at a low
heat is the general rule for cook
ing the thrifty cuts of meat.
Ranking low on the butcher's
price list but high in nutrition
are such meats as kidney, brains,
heart and liver. They make de
licious dishes when properly
cooked.

A Unique President
ONE hundred and fifty years ago
this month occurred the birth
of a boy who was destined to be
unique in our presidential history.
He was James Buchanan, born April
21, 1791, in Cove Gap, near Mer
cersburg, Pa., and he became the
only native of the Keystone state
to reach the White House and our
only "bachelor President."
Young Buchanan practiced law in
Lancaster, Pa., after his graduation
from Dickinson college and in 1814
he was elected to the Pennsylvania
legislature. Seven years later the
Federalist party sent him to con
gress and he served there for 10
years. During this period of his ca
reer occurred the incident which
made him a confirmed bachelor.
He became engaged to Ann Cole
man of Lancaster but her father dis
approved of the match. So when
Buchanan went to Philadelphia to
try a case, the elder Coleman in
tercepted the letters that passed
between his daughter and the young
attorney and persuaded her that
Buchanan's long silence meant he
was no longer interested in her.
Meanwhile, gossips had brought
Buchanan the news that Ann was
engaged to another man. When
Buchanan called at her home, he
was received coldly by Robert Cole
man, who confirmed the gossip,
while Ann stood beside her father
without uttering a word of denial.
Later Buchanan wrote her a letter
demanding that she return his let
ters and any other keepsakes
he had given her, which she did
The next day she went to Philadel
phia to visit relatives and there, a
JAMES BUCHANAN
short time later, she died, presum
ably of a broken heart. One roman
tic version of the story has it that
she took an overdose of laudunum
and was found dead with a keep
sake of her lover clutched in her
hand. Whatever the cause of her
death, Buchanan apparently was
crushed by his blighted romance
and took a vow never to marry.
In 1832 Buchanan was appointed
minister to Russia and he is credit
ed with having made the first Amer
ican commercial treaty with that
country. Upon his return, he was
elected to the United States senate
and, twice re-elected, he served
there until 1845 when he was named
secretary of state in the cabinet of
President James K. Polk. In 1853
President Franklin Pierce appointed
him minister to Great Britain. He
was accompanied to London by his
favorite niece, Harriet Lane, whom
he had adopted after the death of
her parents and upon whom he
lavished all the love that had been
thwarted by his loss of Ann Cole
man.
By the time he returned from Eng
land in 1858, the Democratic party
was badly split over the slavery is
sue and eager for a compromise
candidate. They found one in Bu
chanan and In the campaign of 1856
he was elected over Gen. John C.
Fremont, the nominee of the new
Republican party.
Buchanan was a statesman of the
old school, who, according to one
historian, “could make a good cam
paign speech, laying stress upon the
unimportant and glancing at impor
tant matters evasively, solemnly
and impressively.” So it is not sur
prising that he should have avoided
any decisive action when the seces
sion crisis came. But despite that
fact, when he left office on March 4.
1861, it was clearly apparent that
what he once called “disunion, that
worst and last of all political calami
ties'1 was inevitable. Buchanan died
June 1, 1868, but he lived long
enough to see averted that very dis
union which he had feared and had
done so little to prevent.

Harriot Lane was Buchanan's of
ficial hostess during his stay in the
White House and helped him enter
tain the prince of Wales when he
visited this country in 1860 Years
later the “Golden Beauty of the
White House.” now Mrs. Elliott
Johnson, a widow, received a spe
cial invitation to go to London and
see the prince crowned King Ed
ward VII of England. Before her
death in 1903 she left a fund of
$100,000 far a statue of her uncle in

Prints Teamed With Plain Wools
Tell Fascinating Fashion Story
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
D ESIGNERS are in a mood to
play with prints this season.
Never in the history of fashion have
prints been put to such different and
fascinating uses. Anything and
everything that can be made of
printed fabric is being made. Per
haps the biggest splurge prints are
making at present is their teaming
up with monotone wools.
This companioning of print with
plain is dramatically interpreted
throughout all costume design but
most notably in jacket suits, red
ingote ensembles and in capes.
While splashy huge-patterned prints
play an important role in formal
evening apparel and play clothes,
neat, small prints are featured in
smart daytime ensembles.
However, what these prints of tiny
motifs and checks lack in size is
made up in color. For instance, the
latest fashion is to top red prints
of neat design with red wool coats,
jackets or capes—a fashion that is
being used to a great extent in teen
age frocks.
Red prints are the rage this sea
son. Made up in dresses, they are
variously teamed with black, navy,
or as mentioned above, red. This
trend is illustrated in the model
shown to the right in the photograph.
This dress featured by the Style Cre
ators of Chicago in a recent display,
is topped by a flower print red
crepe with a thin black wool jacket,
tailored to perfection. The pleated
skirt and the hat that repeats the
print of the dress are smart ac
cents.
The youthful cape coat in dark
wool, centered in the group, is made
outstanding by the introduction of
a silk print lining in the newly im
portant fine check print, repeating
the silk print check of the slim, pleat
ed dress with which it is worn.
A youthful interpretation of the
print with plain vogue is pictured to
the left. This ingenue dress is of
delft blue and white print crepe. The
Jacket, wearable over other things,
is of blue rabbit’s hair. Note that
the sleeves are short, in keeping
with the girlishness of the ensemble.
There is a cunning little handker
chief of the print. This is one of
those casual, intrlguingly styled
dress-plus-jacket outfits that is so
universally likeable for general
wear.
There is a new use of prints this
season that is challenging the cre
ative genius of designers. It is the
idea of trimming with gay prints.
You will see it carried out in
pipings, bipdings, appliques of print
motifs, also bow trims of print
bands. There is, for example, the
dress with pleated skirt that is
topped with a monotone jacket that
is bound with an inch bordering of
print, or possibly a mere binding—
just enough to relate it to the dress
with which it is worn. Another way
of arriving at a ‘‘touch of print” for
your costume is to have a hat and
bag of print that will enliven mono
tone dresses and coats to the nth
degree.

Plaid Accents
Here's how to add a note of gaiety
to a navy suit that boasts an ex
treme mannish cut. Wear a plaid
taffeta hat and carry matching ac
! cessorles! Choose a wide-brimmed
; hat of plaid taffeta in red and soft
blues. Over your shoulder, sling a
matching pouch bag. Climax the
plaid program with a handkerchief
of matching plaid. It is the better
part of wisdom to buy a simple one
color suit or coat, than depend on ac
cessories to give it eye-dazzling chic.
Hair Styles Reveal
New Flower Motifs
A new vogue that probably will
spread like wildfire is a cluster of
flowers worn at each side of the
head, balanced symmetrically. The
flowers are caught to a ribbon band
or to one of the new hairbands that
fit to the head.
Roses Take Spotlight
In Fabric Designs
It’s rosetime in fashionland. The
most featured flower in fabric de
sign, in hat trimmings and in smart
corsages is the rose.
It is going to be a particularly
“rosy” summer in cottons, because
cottons this year are reminiscent of
weaves that were favorites in the
early 1900s. You will find roses
blooming on waffle piques, on un
bleached muslins, in mezzotint, on
glazed chintz and on lawns and per
cales.
For party frocks, the newest ma
terials are hand-painted sheers. A
huge American Beauty rose, one
painted on the bodice, one on the
skirt, enhances the beauty of these
sheqrs.
Don’t overlook the cunning little
sailor hats that are made to wear
with the new tailored suits or cape
costumes. You will be charmed with
single rose trim that mounts right
from the very front of the crown.
The latest evening corsage is a
single long-stem rose.
Cotton Fabrics Essential
To Wardrobes, Supplies
A surplus commodity without
which homemakers would be lost is
cotton.
There are probably more cotton
fabrics suited for more varied, uses
than fabrics made from any other
fiber or combination of fibers. Cot
tons make up into at least 30 dif
ferent fabrics suitable for dresses
for women, girls and infants.
Without cotton, sheets, pillow
cases, ticking and linings of comfort
ers, curtains, draperies, upholstery
materials, bath towels, hand towels
and dish towels would disappear.
Frilly Accents
Everybody’s doing it! Wear the
frilliest frilly-frilly neckwear ever.
Regency frills, jabots, big sailor col
lars with frilled edges, yokes that
are frilled.

Restaurateur Believed
Himself Well Supplied
The couple had enjoyed a meal
in the restaurant. When the bill
was presented the husband was
horrified to discover he had come
out without money.
Calling the proprietor, he ex
plained the situation, ending up
with:
“It won’t take me long to slip
home, and my wife will remain
here as security.”
“Pardon me,” said the propri
etor, “haven’t you anything else?”
“Sir,” snapped the customer an
grily, “are you insinuating that
my wife is not worth the $1.50?”
“Not at all,” the proprietor pro
tested, “but I already have a
wife!”

Combs should not be washed, for
the water is apt to split the teeth.
An old and fairly stiff nailbrush
will be found very useful in clean
ing them. Work the bristles well
in and out between the teeth until
all the dirt and fluff is removed,
and then wipe the comb carefully
on a damp cloth.

If you do not have a special
board for pressing sleeves, here is
a convenient substitute: Roll up
a large magazine, fasten it with
rubber bands and tuck it into the
sleeve.

Remove seeds from dates with a
sharp-bladed paring knife. Keep

Never allow cold water to run

A scrubbing brush with stiff
bristles is invaluable when wash
ing badly soiled collar bands, mud
splashed hems or other stains on
white clothes. Lay the cloth
smoothly on the washboard, wet
the brush, rub it across a bar of

strokes of the brush.
