WEDNESDAY, MAY 5, 19 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN Mixing. Bowl Hew Girls! Mother may not ap- prove of your suggestions for help- ing her on Mother's Day unless you are "in the know". Do you know how to set the dinner table properly? Por instance, if the dinner consists of soup, meat, potatoes and vegeta- bles, bread and butter, pie and tea --the procedlire is simgle, 1. Take a tray to the dish cup- board and collect knives, forks, soup spoons, butter spreaders, out- ter knife, teaspoons, fruit or salad forks, sugar spoon, gravy spoon, carving set, serving spoons and salt and A 2 vg on one corner of and with knives in cover. The carving set should be either side of the | platter space with gravy spoon and butter knife parallel above this ce. The serving spoons, salts and pep- pers belong close to the centre ab convenient places, while the sugar spoon is left near mother's plate. Leave the butter knives and soup spoons in a pile on the table while you get the china. 3. Collect' the bread and butter plates, tumblers, cups and saucers, cream and sugar and be ambidex- trous again as you place the plates in the upper left hand corner above each fork, and the tumblers an inch above the point of the knives. Leave the cream and sugar, and the stack of cups and saucers at the upper right side of mother's cover. Final- 1y, with butter knives in left hand and soup spoons in the other, place the small knife across the small plate parallel to the edge of the ta- ble, and the soup spoon on the right of the teaspoon. 4. Prom the linen drawer take the serviettes and asbestos pads for vegetable dishes. The serviettes are placed on the left side with the open corner toward the plate. For this occasion put the asbestos pads near your cover so you can serve the vegetables. 5. Cut a thick slice of butter and put it on the dish on your tray; slice the bread with an even sawing motion and arrange on the bread tray; pour sauce or pickles into dishes and carry these items to the table on your tray in one trip. 6. Be wary about heating the dinner plates in a hot oven, They should be spread out on the shelves of a warm oven or stacked in the warming oven with a piece of pa- per between each one. The platter, vegetable dishes, gravy dish and tea pot should also be put in the warm- ing oven. 7. If you have an extra serving tray, spread the pie plates out, cut the, pie and use a pie knife or egg liftér to lift out the servings. The, dessert can then be left ready to serve on the buffet. 8. 'To help make the gravy use a small mixing bowl for the paste. Measure 3 tablespoons of flour into it. Make a hole in the centre and add about % cup of cold water slowly as you stir to make a smooth paste. Press out any lumgs, add more water if too thick. Now it is ready for mother to stir quickly into the hot meat juices. 9. If you help to drain the vege- tables, put a sieve in another pan and using a pot holder to hold the saucepan handle, pour them into the sieve. 10. To fill the tumblers from a big pitcher, place a small towel in the left hand on the bowl of the jug and tip it with the right hand placed low on the handle. No spills this way. 11. Chairs should be in position before hot food is on the table. The seat of the chair should touch the side of the cloth unless the dining- room is too small for the people to move behind the chairs. TAKE A TIP 'Washing Dishes 1. Use hot water and ammonia. Wash glasses, then silver, rinse, then dry. Do not force towels into glasses; polish silver until dry, but do not rub knife blades or fork tines into towelling. . 2. Bmpty out ammonia water. Use the hot rinse water in dish pan with mild soap for washing china. Rinse china and drain on towels in wire rack to reduce chance of thip- ping edges. Dry and put away 8 cooking utensils should be soaked before you begin dish- washing. Fill egg, meat, fish, dough dishes with clear cold water. To greasy dishes add soda to the ' water to cut fat. 4. 1 Use dish cloths and towels for dishes only, not as stove cloths. Wash and rinse in a small amount of fresh water, Wring dry. Stretch and hang separately. 5. Wipe out dish pan and clean sink with a fine cleaning powder. THE QUESTION BOX Miss T. R. asks: How to clean surface of electric stove. Answer: Use a clean piece of chestecloth. Dampen it and use baking soda to clean white enamel. Rub closed elements (on Off posi- tion) with a piece of waxed paper. Brush any charred food out of open elements (switch turned Off) with fine whisk. Miss F. 8. E. asks: What is the pest method of cleaning a stained aluminum roast pan? Answer: Remove charred food by leaving dry par in warm oven and then rub with steel wool. Place the pan on end in a dishpan of strong vinegar and water. Bring te a boll.
