Mrs. Linder's Swiss Recipes Will Appeal To Coral Gableites

The little girl, whose picture is in this column, wearing the colorful dress of her ancestors' canton in Switzerland, is the granddaughter of Coral Gables residents of Swiss extraction, Dr. and Mrs. Oscar Linder, of 440 Avenue Giralda. She is Betty Sutton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. B. Sutton, and her mother was Miss Ruth Linder. Betty was celebrating Switzerland's 650 years of freedom when this picture was made last week. The dress is handmade of hard-woven (a fine linen) material. It was sent to Betty about two years ago by Mrs. Linder's god-child, Mrs. William Marx-Kiefer, who, when married in 1930, received as her wedding gift, a trip to America and South Florida and a visit with Dr. and Mrs. Linder. Dr. and Mrs. Linder came to America from Basel, Switzerland, one of 22 cantons or counties, in 1904 to make their future home. All of their children were born here with the exception of the youngest, Scotty Linder, a student at the University of Florida and a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity. Scotty was born in Switzerland, while his parents and sisters were there on a year's visit-an American citizen born on foreign soil. Mrs. Linder has sent three of her choice recipes, favorites with her family and often served to guests who immediately clamor for the recipes. At Christmas time, Mrs. Linder is busy for weeks making the traditional cookies of Switzerland to give as gifts to her friends. After you read the way Mrs. Linder cooks "spech und bohne," you'll not wonder it is a favorite dish in Switzerland. Spech und Bohne Cut up one medium onion and 2 strips of bacon. Brown slightly and add two pounds of green beans, which have been blanched. Toss around well. Add 2 teaspoons of salt, 2 cups of water and lay some pieces of very lean bacon or a ham bone on top. Cover and simmer slowly for about one and one-half hours. Mrs. Linder's "G'schnetzlet Kalbfleisch" is a tasty dish and would be good as a main dish for supper parties. G'schnetzlet Kalbfleisch 1 onion 11⁄2 pounds veal (cut in small pieces) 2 tablespoons flour 11⁄2 tablespoons butter 11⁄2 cups water 1/2 cup canned juice or soup Brown onion slightly in butter, add the veal, flour, salt and pepper, water and tomato juice or soup, and simmer for one hour. About 15 minutes before serving, add some sour cream. The addition of a cutter veal kidney is very nice with this meat dish. For something sweet, Mrs. Linder says "Spritzerli" is a favorite, and we think, from the sound of the recipe, the dainty tidbit would be delicious. Spritzerli Beat 2 eggs with 2 tablespoons of rich milk or cream, add one-half cup melted butter, one-half cup sugar and about 3 cups of flour sifted with one rounded teaspoon of baking powder. Roll out medium thickness and cut in strips of about 1x6 inches. Tie each in a knot and fry in deep fat. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

There Are Many Ways to Arrange a Kitchen

There's not just one ideal way to arrange a kitchen. There are many. And each is planned for the easiest step-saving efficiency. Tops on the list in the estimation of architectural experts is the arrangement known as the "unbroken U-shape." This looks like its name in that it is a definite "U" with tops and corners. The sink is placed beneath a window at the bottom of the "U" with a corner cabinet on either side. There's an outside door at one tip of the "U" and a door to the dining room at the other. The refrigerator is placed along the side wall nearest the outside entry where food is brought in from market. The cooking range is across on the side wall nearest the dining room entrance. Thus fresh cooked food is rushed piping hot to the table. Three main functional units are connected like a production line with built-in back insets and work surfaces. Another good arrangement takes the shape of an "L." In it the food progresses systematically around the "L" from the end nearest the outside entry to the end nearest the dining room door. The refrigerator is thus at one end of the "L," the range at the other. In that the functional units and work surfaces are built in an angle around only two walls of the triangle a rectangular space is left in which there is room for a breakfast table with chairs. This is advantageous in a house where no other breakfast room exists. The two-wall kitchen is only advisable in an unusually long and narrow room, especially one which has a door at each end. The work surfaces are built in along either side with the refrigerator and range located as usual and range by the dining room entry. Its efficiency is based on the fact that there is very little space between the opposite work surfaces, but a good deal of turning back and forth is involved in the preparation of a meal. A fourth arrangement known as the "broken U" is most often used in remodeling an old kitchen. In principle, it sticks to the plan of the "unbroken U," but it allows for gaps

GOING BUY BUY

BY THE SHOPPER GAY DECEIVERS are the colorful new Famos cleanser containers for kitchen and bathroom shelves, as a Coral Gables gentleman has reason to know: fresh from his shower he plucked one of the decorative cylinders of blue plastic composition from the bathroom shelf, and had sprinkled himself generously with cleansing powder before he realized it was not the bath powder he had thought! Made in классик simple design, the containers have a base of black plastic material and are decorated with a cameo profile in white. The cylinders come in varied colors to match your kitchen and bath color schemes, and have perforated lids to permit dusting of the cleanser without waste. No need to hide your cleanser in the medicine closet when for 50 cents you may have one of these containers that are a decorative addition to any shelf. They're sold at Burdine's. IT'S FUN TO BE DISCIPLINED when fashion commands, "Wear your country's colors!" Definitely boastful in an "I am an American" sort of way are the assortment of red, white and blue lapel pins offered by the gift shop at the Venetian Pool at prices ranging from 25 cents to a dollar. Blue eagles rampant upon fields of red and white and starred with striped shields of plastic, make a patriotic foil for summer-time white frocks. Wear one on your shoulder and match it with one of the row red, white and blue belts that are economy news at Daniel's at the price of one dollar. SHARKSKIN SWOOPS OUT of its former category as an exclusive, expensive material this summer to give tropical worr-steds and Palm Beach cloth a run for masculine favor. Tailored, slack suits and suits take the edge in the ease with a bevy of superior qualities; they're wrinkle resistant, but hold the firmest crease for days; they and cool in weight and color, they may be laundered or dry cleaned in the perfection that has made sharkskin dresses the pet of the well-groomed ladles. The material, in addition, tailors exquisitely-and if you don't believe us, look at the selection of slack suits and trouser's at Jay's Men's Shop. The trousers cost approximately $4 and the slack suits are under $10. SERVES YOU RIGHT if you suffer from that sultry stickiness which we Floridians admit-only to each other! There's no excuse for lapses from cool daintiness when refreshing Dorothy Gray cologne is available at Burdine's for a pittance. Lilac, June Bouquet and other subtle scents are at your service; generous-sized bottles containing enough toilet water to keep you refreshed for the remainder of the summer season cost just a dollar. Incidentally, don't neglect the head of the house. Inquire about masculine toilet water in pine and spice scents while you're about it.

Frances Langford dresses the part for her CBS "American Cruise" series. Her bog styled Navy slack suit of faille Alameda is suitable for both sailing the bounding main or lounging at home. Notice the set-in belt, knotted tie and bias-buttoned pockets. (From Kornhandler Co., California.)

Hostess gown for fall is a necessary luxury in this sure to be dressed-up season. Ilka Chase wears a very attractive one of moonstone blue lace, figure fitted over a blue satin foundation and featuring a slight train, soft ruffled neckline and self-buttons. (From Jay Thorpe, N. Y.)

Yvette chooses for her early fall outfit a Forstmann woolen frock in royal blue with front fullness in skirt, clear cut shoulders and belt of linked plastic flowers.

Important occasion clothes will become more and more a "must" item as Fall approaches. Hedda Hopper, CBS Hollywood reporter, who is often ahead of the style, selects this very effective dinner ensemble for her first fall formal. It is a simple full-length dinner gown of black crepe with a sheer bolero, extravagantly embroidered in silver thread and bugle beads.

For gala opening nights, Marjorie Davies of Columbia network's "Meet Mr. Meeks" series, chooses this white caracal wrap. Exeprtly fashioned, it gives an impression of slimness, and its simple skins lends themselves to the wrap-around silhouette. Note the new rounded shoulders and flat rolled collar.

SOOTHE AWAY CRANKS WITH COOLING BATH

Unexpected spells of crankiness often occur among little children during summer days. Boys and girls who have "halo angels" most of the time may suddenly become irritable and contrary-and frequently the cause is to be found in the hot weather. Children, like adults, react to sticky, humid days and may get restive and cranky. When this happens, wise parents seek to make the children more comfortable. One good step is a cooling bath, but he sure that this is offered as a treat and not as a punishment for having been cranky. If the child thinks he is being punished he will probably beg off another rebellion, even if he is old enough to realize how comfortable a bath will make him feel. Let the bath water be lukewarm and let the youngster play if he wants to for a short time in the tub. Then, when his good nature is restored, rinse him off, pat him dry and put him into clean clothes.

SERMON TOPIC

The Rev. M. C. Cleveland of the Haimon Park Methodist Church will have charge of the 11 o'clock service Sunday at the Coral Gables Methodist Church. "Mileposts to Name" is the subject of his sermon.

Mrs. Lanford's Jellied Veal Loaf Recipe

Mrs. Louis E. Lanford, past president of the Coral Gables Woman's Club, and noted among her friends for her culinary achievements, has contributed a jellied veal loaf to the Coral Gables Woman's Club cookbook that it appropriate to the season and sounds appetizing: Jellied Veal Loaf Take one veal knuckle which has about 3 pounds of meat, put in roomy pot with about a quart of water, 3-4 stalks celery with the leaves, 2 medium sized onions diced, 1-2 green pepper, a few pickling spices and two bay leaves. Cook until meat comes off the bone. Remove from pot and chop meat through grinder with medium knife. Strain the liquor that remains in pot and pour this liquor over meat mixture, after the meat has been packed in decorated mold. There should be enough of the liquor to cover the meat. Mold may be decorated in many attractive ways, however, Mrs. Lanford uses slices of hard cooked egg encircling them with a ring of green and a ring of red pimentito.

The bathroom can be made safer and more useful by installing a large panel of glass blocks in one of its outer walls.

CLEAN SHEETS GIVE COMFORT

A well-made bed never contributes to sleeping comfort more noticeably than on airless, summer nights. A good mattress, tightly drawn sheets and smooth pillow cases are a boon on those occasions when nature defies us to get some shut-eye. Clean, fresh sheets, pillow cases and night clothes will bring on refreshing slumbers more readily and more pleasantly than sheep counting. One of the most comforting feelings in the world comes from cool crisp sheets and pillows on a summer night. Smart housewives always try to have bed linen fresh and clean, but never more so than when the thermometer is high.

Planning Porch Supper? Here's a Menu Which Caters to All Tastes

A porch supper is certainly a comfortable, easy way to entertain during the summer months, and there's something satisfying about the way the guests settle themselves on the steps or in comfortable porch chairs while they enjoy the increased quantities of food which outdoor appetites necessitate. For a sure-to-be-liked supper menu, you might include two of everyone's favorites-hot rolls and a fine-flavored ham loaf. When making the rolls, cut the dough with a star-shaped cookie cutter to give them a gala air. And to add a party air to the ham loaf, chill it, then frost with a mixture of cream cheese and horseradish, and garnish with pimento and two wreaths of watercress. As combination cook-and-hostess, you can use the controlled oven for browning the rolls and baking the ham loaf. The reminder clock will prompt you to remove food from the oven at just the right time. Here then is the receipt for the supper party loaf: 2-3 pound round lean pork 2-3 pound ground cured ham 2-3 pound ground veal 2 cups dry bread crumbs 1 egg (slightly beaten) 11⁄2 teaspoons salt 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 2 tablespoons onion (cut fine) 11⁄2 cups tomato juice 1⁄2 teaspoon prepared mustard Combine ground meat, bread crumbs, egg, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, onion, tomato, juice and mustard and mix well.

Just before serving spread with cream cheese topping and garnish with pimiento and watercress. To make the topping, combine two 3-ounce packages cream cheese with 11⁄2 to 2 tablespoons horseradish and a few drops lemon juice.

Milk and Honey A simple mixture of hot milk and honey us soothing to husky throats. Good to taste, easy to digest and kind to the throat, this mixture, made famous in the Bible, is still a standby in many homes.

WEEDS FOR TREES

Such weeds as dog fennel and slicker weed are used for trees by Florida National Exhibits artists in the dioramas and spectoramas now being shown at Atlantic City. Even the despised sandspur becomes a palm in doramic distance. A frazzeled end of hemp rope is turned into the needles of a beautiful palm tree-nothing is lost.

TROPICAL FRUITS

Rare tropical fruits so preserved that they appear just as they do in Florida gardens and forests are shown in the state's exhibits at Atlantic City. Included are mangoes, mandarines and rose apples.

Scald Utensils

Housewives could well take a tip from the U. S. Army Medical Corps, which has issued an order that scalding water must be used in cleaning cooking and eating utensils. The Medical Corps found that unless certain bacteria are completely eliminated, specific illnesses develop in the soldier's ranks.
