Mrs. Desjardins Lifts Lowly Veal Cutlet To Culinary Heights

Our delicious dish of the week is veal cutlet with wine sauce, as Mrs. Charles Desjardins prepares it. We wanted to wait until there was a French day of celebration, like the one we celebrated last week with the Swiss, but France being in the state she is today, and with "Bastile Day," July 14, practically a year away, we simply couldn't wait that long to give you this unusual dish. Mrs. Desjardins has contributed two French dishes for the food page this week. In addition to the veal cutlet with wine sauce she has contributed a "Tourtiere" (French meat pie) to the page, and says in her letter, "All Canadians use this meat pie a great deal. One pie will serve six if they are not too hungry, otherwise it will serve four. This can be served with vegetables, including baked or mashed potatoes." We are sure Mrs. Desjardins deserves her reputation for being a good cook, for she has a fine family of nine children, all grown to man and womanhood, most of them living in the Coral Gables area, for the Desjardins came here in 1917 from the French Province of Canada. Mrs. Desjardins was born in Fall River, Mass., of French parentage, but went to Canada as a bride. Her maiden name with Elide Sicotte, pronounced with the accent on the final "e." In fact the nine Desjardins have beautiful names, and pronounced the French way are a flowing word symphony: "Lucien, Felicitee, Flore, Auree, Edmee, Aurore, Elianne and Alyase" (Pete), the famous Olympic champion, who was a mascot in World War Number One. Mrs. Desjardins veal cutlet served with wine sauce is as follows: Veal Cutlet With Wine Sauce 2 pounds veal cutlet 2 tablespoons butter 1/4 cup minced onions 2 teaspoons lemon juice 1 medium can mushrooms 1 tablespoon minced parsley 1 bay leaf 2 tablespoons flour 1 1/2 cups beef stock or 1 square Bovril bouillon in 1 1/2 cups water 1/4 cup wine (muscatel) 2 cloves garlic Salt and pepper to taste Saute cutlet in butter five minutes on both sides, then remove to casserole, add remaining fat, 1/4 cup olive oil, onions, parsley, garlic, bay leaves and cook three minutes, stir in flour and brown lightly, add stock, wine and lemon until smooth, and thick then add mushrooms, pour sauce over meat and bake one hour, 300 degrees F.

Eating Outside Tickles Palate

Nothing makes a day look quite so exciting right from the beginning as breakfast on the terrace. The tomato juice tastes like the advertising says it will the same old bacon and eggs acquire new meaning, and pungent ice-cold coffee (for a change) is a fitting accompaniment to hot brown toast and orange marmalade. The effects of this early-morning indulgence in breakfast luxury will follow you right through the day. Luxury—that is—if you go about the preparations correctly. Long trips back and forth to the kitchen, cold toast and weak coffee will otherwise make you think that the sun didn't come up at all. If you don't have a terrace, there is at least a porch, or a handy spot of level lawn. It isn't flagstones that make a breakfast terrace so much as it is a convenient electric outlet; the rest is mental Using the simple foods mentioned above and an attractive setting, home service experts show you how easy it is to create an air of luxury. It is generally recognized that coffee made in a glass coffee maker has no prat ons correctly and flavor, but many people get the jitters waiting for the precise moment to disconnect the plug. You can walk around the garden or finish dressing while this one works, because it turns off automatically, then turns on again, just often enough to keep the coffee hot, and that will go on indefinitely until every one is ready. A tiny ruby pilot light announces that "breakfast is served." Incidentally, the coffee not consumer can be poured into an ice cube tray, placed in the refrigerator and frozen into cubes for use later.

CANDID CAMERA PEEKS INTO THE WORLD OF FASHION

Zebra-striped black and white velvet is used by Fred Lacome in this striking turban and glove ensemble worn by Actress Barbara Brown. Watch this new trend—it's bound to be popular. Now the first "V for Victory" dress joins up with the wild-fire "V" campaign launched by Prime Minister Churchill. Miss Josephine Johnson, 1940 glamour debutante, chose this version of the "V" dress, made up in light gray wool. It has V-shaped shoulder sections outlined in bold red applique, V-shaped pocket flaps embroidered with the opening notes of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony—three long and one short, the equivalent of the gallant letter "V" in Morse code. Wimples and snoods are evident in all the early fall millinery collections. CBS actress Bonnie Donahue wears Erik's Scotch plaid pompadour model with a back drape which may be left hanging loose or tucked in your coat collar. Notice her matching envelope bag, a style trend favored by many this year. Racetrack inspired linen dress in forest green with horses' heads and linked horseshoes of white linen appliqued on the blouse and skirt, is worn by Yvonne Mann of Columbia network's "Aunt Jenny's Stories." Simply styled with puffed sleeves, fitted bodice and circular skirt, it washes and presses beautifully, and is a "must in your week-end wardrobe for the beach or country. (From Lanz of Salzburg.) If you're buying a new bathing suit for a late vacation, one like the crisp red and white pique worn here by Gloria Mann will make you the belle of the beach. Her scarf and turban are for glamour and sun protection. Fine feathers make fine hats such as the one Helen Mack wears here. This fall many feathers hitherto prohibited for decorative use are now available to milliners. Sally Victor combines many brilliant feathers in a novel ornament on this orange wool beret with deatchable matching wimple, one of her two-for-the-money models.

DON'T HOARD

To keep a neat kitchen, don't try to hoard glass jars or bottles. Their attractiveness makes this a temptation, but so many foods are now being put up in glass that new jars are always available at the neighborhood grocery. An accumulation of empty bottles soon gets out of control and uses up unnecessarily a lot of valuable kitchen shelf space.

NEW KNITTING HEADQUARTERS PLACE INDICATED

New headquarters for Red Cross knitting in Coral Gables is in the Renuart Arcade (room 9) according to Mrs. Earl E. Bain, chairman. Mrs. Bain also announces as her capable assistants Mrs. J. C. Henderson and Mrs. Ada Richey. The headquarters are open daily Monday through Friday from 10 to 4. Mrs. Bain will be glad to have as many knitters as can come on any of these days. Please phone her, 4-5944, for any further information. Keep posted—read the Riviera

Salad Bowl Will Supply Vitamins

Nutritionists tell us to "work in" a leafy, green or yellow vegetable, raw or cooked, once a day, sometimes twice. What better way than via the salad bowl? Salads or raw shredded cabbage, raw slivers of carrots or turnips, diced tomatoes, celery, cucumbers, scallions, etc., temptingly seasoned with salad dressings, give you all the vitamins and minerals raw vegetables offer. As for cooked vegetables, into many refrigerators go leftover cooked peas, limas, string beans, carrots, etc. If you toss them with crisp salad greens, raw vegetables, a bit of minced onion, diced green or red pepper, or minced parsley (peppers and parsley are both rich in vitamins A and C) and salad dressing, you can have a salad bowl as varied as you please. Fresh herbs, such as tarragon, chervil, dill and sorrel, uplift the salad, too. And if a hearty version is more to your liking, just add some grated, crumbled or slivered cheese, diced hard-cooked eggs, meat, fish or chicken — home-cooked or canned. In making salad dressings frequently use lemon juice as a seasoning, for it adds vitamin C. Try, too, adding minced onions, chutney, chives, curry, fresh or dried herbs, or sliced olives to bottled or home-made salad dressing. Jellied salads fit especially

GOING BUY BUY! WITH THE SHOPPER

New departures in business are being announced this week by two Coral Gables Women, Alice R. Lanni and Claire Ulrich Flanagan. Mrs. Lanni comes to her new association, the Oscar Dooley, Jr., realty organization as manager of its newly-created department, the homes and estates department, with years of experience in meeting the public. She traveled for 11 years for the Dorothy Gray cosmetic organization, opening branch sales shops and establishing sales service in all of the key cities of the United States. Mrs. Lanni is a member of the Business and Professional Woman's Club of Coral Gables ,tall distinguished looking, with a head of unusually pretty silver-hued hair. Mrs. Flanagan has this week announced to a limited number of patrons the opening of her new pre-school for nursery children, "The Riviera," on October 1. Turning her own large Spanish-type home into use for the school, Mrs. Flanagan has completely transformed her drawing room, filling the spacious room with easels (for crayon work) and all other newly-developed devices for pre-school education. * * * Have you seen those cute boy and girl ("gob" and Red Cross nurse") dolls at Holley's? In two sizes, the little boy doll is brave in a regulation blue sailor suit, wears a jaunty gob hat. The nurse is demure in cap, crossed kerchief and apron. They haven't been able to keep the little nurse dolls very long such a demand. Another new trick is the clear glass Liberty Bell banks, red and blue stripes with the slot for money at the top. As the Liberty Bell of old, these bells cannot be rung, will have to be really "cracked" to get the money out. * * * Mr. and Mrs. Charles Stone postard from New York, where they are busy buying gifts for you to "buy" next season at their shop on Ponce de Leon Boulevard. Mr. Stone is enjoying his first visit to New York in eleven years. He always gives the buying powers over to Mrs. Stone (Pete), who haunts those New York marts for new and original ideas in gifts. * * * After a month or so in Cuba, Mrs. O. W. McConnell (Yrene) is back at her "One-of-a-Kind" shop, 2131 Ponce de Leon Boulevard. Mrs. McConnell met her husband in Habana, where be was doing the American Embassy (Protecta Shutters, you know), shipped the family car on down and just about saw everything that was to be seen on the island. In addition to some beautiful new materials for her customers, which she picked up in Habana, Yrene added a few bangles to her three-strand silver bracelet. Without counting, we venture to say Yrene has 100 bangles and are they interesting! The new one is, of all things, a silver toothpick, an ingenious little trick gadget that, when twisted at one end reveals the implement.
