INVITE THEM ALL—AND HAVE BAKED POTATOES
(See Recipes Below)
VET’S SERVE POTATOES
MENU OF THE WEEK
Guests are coming for dinner. You
have your meat and vegetables, and
you have planned your dessert. You
have potatoes on hand. But have
you decided how you're going to pre-
pare them?
I'll wager you haven't. It’s an oft-
repeated story in kitchens from
Washington to Florida, Maine to Cal-
ifornia. Because the POTATO is
such an old standby, you perhaps
wait 'til the last minute to decide
its preparation. Then it’s too late
to try “something different.”
Don’t treat the potato as though
it were the Cinderella of the vegeta-
ble kingdom. Re-
member, it re-
sponds well to
careful treatment.

MARCEL HENRI REB-
IERE, a Frenchman and
a cameraman for the March of
Time, has recently come to this
country, to focus his cameras
on interesting subjects in the
Western Hemisphere. Although
he speaks no English, he has an
uncanny sense of what the
American public likes — he
has filmed many outstanding
March of Time subjects during the
past few years, including "The
Vatican,” "The Maginot Line,” and
Finland.
Born in Paris 45 years ago, Reb-
iere took up photography before he
enlisted in the French army in 1914.
After being wounded in battle he was
shifted to the Army Cinematograph-
ic service; after the war he made
documentary films for the French
government in Siberia, French West
Africa and the Near East; in 1925
he became chief cameraman for the
Compagnie Universelle Cinemato-
graphique of Paris, for whom he
made instructional, sociological and

pattern. Yet that's just what you
get when you send for this one-
No. 8886. That high-cut front
panel has a magically diminishing
effect upon your waistline and
hips. Beltless, to accentuate
height, the dress is gathered for
correct fit over the bust. Broad
shoulders give a slim look, too.
The jacket, made with pleats
drawn in by a tie-belt at the waist-
line, opens in the front to show
the crisp frill and buttons that
trim the frock, with a charmingly
soft, somewhat formal effect. Silk
print, flat crepe or sheers are
smart for this.
Pattern No. 8886 is designed for sizes
36, 38. 40. 42. 44. 48. 48. 50, 52. Size 38
requires 148 yards of 39-inch material and
Hi yards of ruffling to trim the dress.

are only three ba-
sic ways of cooking potatoes—bak-
ing, boiling or frying them in their
raw form—there are innumerable
new and different things to do with
this vegetable.
I wonder if you have ever tried
frankfurter- or sausage-stuffed pota-
toes, potato croquettes, pancake po-
tatoes, Idaho Suzettes or potato
doughnuts?
If not, resolve to use these reci-
pes. I guarantee they'll help you
"get the most out of your potatoes!”
-Quick Dutch-Stuffed Baked
Potatoes.
(See picture at top of column)
6 medium-sized Idaho potatoes
8 link sausages or frankfurters
Scrub the potatoes and with an
apple corer make a hole lengthwise
through each potato. Stuff with a
frankfurter or sausage. Bake at 400
degrees F. for 45 minutes, or until
potatoes are done.
For an even richer flavor, stuff
with a mixture of finely chopped
sweet spanish onions and ground
meat. Put a slice of bacon or salt
pork over the potatoes and bake as
usual. Length of baking time de-
pends on size of potatoes.
Nut Potato Croquettes.
2 cups hot mashed potatoes
% cup cream or milk
% teaspoon baking powder
% teaspoon salt
Pepper to taste
1 cup crushed nuts
To the potatoes add the cream or
milk, baking powder, seasoning and
half the nuts. Spread mixture on
plate to cool. Shape, roll in nuts
and cook in deep, hot fat (390 de-
grees F.) until golden brown. Drain
on soft paper.
Potato Doughnuts.
2 cups flout
1% teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
% teaspoon nutmeg or cinnamon
1 cup riced potatoes
1 tablespoon butter
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
Sift flout salt, baking powder and
spice together. Put the hot riced
potatoes in a mixing bowl, add the
butter and stir until the butter is
melted. Cool until lukewarm. Add
the unbeaten eggs and sugar; mix
well. Stir in the sifted dry ingredi-
ents; mix until smooth. Place mix-
ture on a floured board; roll until %
inch thick, cut into rounds with a
floured doughnut cutter. Cook in
deep, hot fat (376 degrees F.) until
golden brown. Drain on soft paper.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Idaho Suzettes.
6 medium-sized Idaho potatoes
12 cup hot milk
2 tablespoons melted fat
6 tablespoons buttered crumbs
1 tablespoon grated cheese
6 eggs
Salt and pepper
Select medium-sized or large po-
tatoes: scrub and bake at 450 de-
grees F. until
each is soft when
you pick it up and
squeeze with a
cloth. When done,
remove a piece of
skin from the side
of each potato to
make it boat-

LYNN SAYS:
Baking potatoes is perhaps the
most healthful method of prepar-
ing them, because steam escapes
from them and results in a mealy
product. No valuable minerals
are lost, and, if the skin is also
eaten with the contents, all bene-
fits of the potato are realized.
If you are not quite ready to
serve your potatoes when they
are ready to come out of the
oven, cover them with a towel so
that moisture will be absorbed,
and at the same time warmth
will be retained.
Sweet potatoes bake in less
time than white potatoes.
It is important to retain vita-
min C in potatoes, as well as in
all vegetables. In order to do
this, store them in a cool place;
peel just before cooking; cook
whole, if possible; have the water
boiling rapidly before plunging
them in; use a small amount of
coo’ring water; cook only until
tender.

pulp thoroughly, or put it through
a ricer. Add butter, salt and milk
and beat well. Pile the mixture
lightly beck into the shells. Refill
the shell to the top and make a de-
pression in the center of each pota-
to. Break an egg into each depres-
sion, season with salt and pepper and
sprinkle with buttered crumbs that
have been combined with grated
cheese. Bake in a slow oven (250-
350 degrees F.) long enough to set
the egg and brown lightly—for 6 to
10 minutes.
Belgian Baked Potatoes.
Wash and peel potatoes and cut
into eighths lengthwise. Dry be-
tween towels. Dip cut pieces in melt-
ed shortening and lay in a shallow
pan, being sure that they do not
overlap. Bake in a quick oven (400
degrees F.) until brown on top. Turn
carefully and continue baking until
they resemble french-fried potatoes.
Baste them with more shortening
during baking, if necessary. When
done, sprinkle with salt and serve
piping hot.
Franconia Potatoes.
Use uniform medium potatoes.
Pare and parboil 10 minutes. Drain,
place around roast, and bake 40 min-
utes, or until soft, turning often and
basting with fat in pan so that they
will brown.

TIPS to
Gardeners
TRIM FLOWER GARDEN
THERE is much value in keep-
* ing the flower garden trimmed.
Wise gardeners pick bouquets of
favorite annuals like Marigold,
Zinnia, Petunia, Sweet Peas and
Snapdragon with systematic regu-
larity, for the picking promotes
continued blooming.
Periodic trimming is not best for
such small, low-growing edging
flowers as Alyssum. A complete
cutting, however, will benefit this
type of plant. This treatment may
be applied to Ageratum, Linaria,
Lobelia, and Nemesia as well as
Alyssum.
Pinks, Cynoglossum, and Dwarf
Bedding Rust Resistant Snap-
dragon are grown both for cutting
and for garden beauty, but they
too will profit by a thoroughgoing
"haircut” such as that prescribed
for the smaller, edging favorites.
It is advisable to pick the flow-
ers of certain popular perennials
when they are in their prime, to
prevent their running to seed, and
to promote the production of a sec-
ond crop of blossoms in a single
season. Delphinium, Sweet Wil-
liam, Coreopsis, Perennial Di-
anthus, and Pyrethrum should be
handled in this manner.
MARCEL HENRI REBIERE
experimental films until 1934, when
he went to work for the March of
Time, becoming their chief Euro-
pean cameraman. His tact and ex-
perience in working with diplomats
and important government leaders
and his amazing news sense make
him a notable figure in his line of
work.
The other day Claudette Colbert
ran over to the "Pioneer Woman”
set between scenes of her own pic-
ture, "Skylark,” being made on a
neighboring stage at Paramount.
She wanted to deliver well-wishes to
her friend, Barbara Stanwyck. She
passed right by a little old lady sit-
ting in front of a portable dressing
room, but the little old lady said
“Hello, Claudette”—it was Barbara,
all made up for her characterization
of a one hundred year old woman.
Almost every set at Metro at pres-
ent has a dog of its own who's a
member of the cast. The ritziest is
Buttons, a member of the "Lady Be
Good” troupe; half beagle, half fox
terrier, he’s very important—he
does a tap dance with Eleanor Pow-
ell. So he rates a portable dress-
ing room
On the “Billy the Kid” set there’s
an old farm collie who is supposed
to follow Ian Hunter around; he just
gets a rug to lie on between shots.
The two little terriers in “Blossoms
in the Dust” have to be taken while
walking when they're not working—
they're true camera hounds; want
to be playing on the set whether
they're scheduled to or not.

With more aspirants than tried to
play "Scarlett,” the coveted role of
"Marge” in the popular CBS radio
serial, “Myrt and Marge,” has final-
ly been filled. It was given to Helen
Mack, whom you've seen in many
• film and heard on evening radio
shows. She had just returned from
Hollywood, where she played impor-
tant roles in Columbia’s "His Girl
Friday” and Paramount’s “Power
Dive.” She takes the place of Mrs.
Donna Flick, who died recently, who
had for years been “Marge,” her
mother playing “Myrt.”
After playing dramatic roles in 61
pictures, Robert Young will become
a song and dance man in “Lady Be
Good,” the Metro musical in which
he'll star with Ann Sothern and
Eleanor Powell. It will be the first
time that he has sung on the screen;
he’ll do a duet with Ann and a dance
with Eleanor.

It was late afternoon. Mrs.
Browne approached her cook.
“I know it’s the third time this
week, Mary,” she said, “but my

golf club that he’s bringing three
friends to dinner. How long will
