COOKING CORNER
Pork, stuffed apples
make a great dinner
By KAY JARVIS
You can now enjoy the col-
ors beginning to overflow with.
winter vegetables.
Pork is the choice of many
as nights grow chillier. Its
rich flavor is most comple-
mentary to the season's fra-
grant apples, especially when
you give them a bright yellow
ruching of spiced sweet pota-
tAes.
Brussels sprouts have been
growing in American gardens
since the 1800s, but they took
considerable time to be avail-
able in commercial markets.
It was once referred to as the
"thousand -headed cabbage"
because of its growth of many
miniature cabbages along a
tall Stem.
A rich, velvety onion sauce
made with light cream, milk,
and seasonings such as mar-
joram does wonders for: the
tender sprouts..
Youll`.need tlg recipe for
making a crisp, curly chicory
salad laced with\thin slices of
fresh mushrodn i. French
dressing made withlemon,
juice sets this off to perfection
-- tangy,and justright for a
rich menu. •
You might also • enjoy red
cabbage and apples with the
roast as an alternate vegeta-,
ble.
For' dessert, try poached
pears in a wine sauce. Simple
as the dish is to make, it has
the added advantage of being
prepared the day before.
To ripen pears properly, set
them out at , room tempera-
ture. Since they ripen from
the inside out, do not hold
them until they are soft on the
outside. They may be too soft
to enjoy. Pears should be used
while still firm but not hard.
Now, pn to the recipes for a
festive dinner.

Earrings have been.
favorite form of pergola
adornment all through

they nerve many ,.
Such decorations have been
the
a symbol of ramy andrings powerand in
crowns have been worn.
Usually, however, and as Is
the case today in our country,
they are worn to highlight a
costume or show off a pretty
face and• hairdo.
Some eanings are
costly when of special
metals, gems and stones. But
with the popularity of
plastics, especially, a great
range of inexpensive earrings
are now available. Many are
made from wood and fabric,
too, and just as primitive man
discovered, •today's
fashionable folk have found
how attractive seashells can
be in this regard,
So it is quite common for
many women and girls to
match almost every outfit in
their wardrobe with bangles
or baubles 'dangling from
their ears.
One problem results,
however: Keeping such a
collection stored in tidy
fashion can be a nuisance.
Nothing is more annoying
than to misplace or lose one
lobe piece. A single earring
makes a good hopscotch
charm, perhaps, even .a fine
fishing lure if a sparkly one,
but that's about all.
So a dandy way to keep any
from disappearing or getting
into a tangled heap in a
dresser drawer is to make a
compartmentalized earring
holder.

into a surprisingly glamorous
