Zurich Herald, 1935-03-14, Page 3IS n,s By Mair IV4.' Morgan B(.'17'PkT SUPPER SOLVES ENTERTAINING PROBLEM Buffet suppers are the answer to an eternal question: "How can I give large parties with a minimum of preparation?" The modern pro- cedure of letting each persols serve himself from a laden table soles the problem entertainingly. Your guests will love the idea of choos- ing their own dinner partners, and they'll !have a better time because their hostess is having fun, too. After preparing 'a large dinner and worrying about .how it is going to be served, any woman is really too worn out to enjoy her own party. Once she gets. the buffet sup- per habit, however, she'll be able to face her guests with a calm, so - glad -you -came expression. Four delicious food' items are quite enough for the average party. Have one hot dish — preferably something in a chafing dish ° or casserole—a hearty salad, hot breads or sandwiches, meat or chicken, dessert and coffee. Put everything on one. long table along with plates, silver, cups • dnd saucers and let guests help themselves. They then can find their own seats and decide. whethet they want to balance plates • on the;•',knees or sit at card tables which you !have provided. Substantial Hot Dish The hot dish should be rather Substantial. You may serve a hot meat loaf, or, ii'i,you'rerhaving cold cuts or a roast,' you might prepare a large casserole of baked macaroni and ,cheese or Spanish rice. Hot soup is always enjoyed and is an ideal first.,;course if cold meat and Salad are on the menu. Baked beans, particularly if you're having baked, ham, is a good suggestion. The:'salad not only gives zest to the mean, but adds a decorative note !to the ,table. You may serve a simple one of -lettuce or otiher salad greens, cubes of fresh tomatoes and diced culumbers or go in for fancy jellied Varieties in individual molds. Better not serve the dressing on the salad. Put' bowls or various dressings on the table and let each guest help himself. For Chafing Dista Creamed chicken, lobster, crab - meat, sweetbreads, oysteTW--rarrcl lnushroonis conte under the heading of chafing dish delicacies. To cream sweetbreads: Put sweetbreads in coli"ivater and allow to stand one hour.; thendrain and put into salted boiling water and. cook slowly for 20 Minutes. Again drain and plunge into -',cold water to keep them white and firm. Sweet- breads .are always parboiled in this inanuerl'for;•subsequent cooking. Cut sweetbreads in lhalf inch cubes In: separate in sinall pieces. Reheat ,�in -rich white sauce and serve on ,, toast or in. patty shells. Cold cooked chicken and sweet- breads in equal parts combine well in a cream sauce. O?/sters and Mushrooms Two: down oysters, oyster liquor, 11/4 cups milk, 1,.tableepoon' flour, 1 cup mushrooms, fres teaspoon salt, 4i teaspoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon anion juice, 2 egg yolks, beaten light, 2•tablespoons butter. Drabs oysters and• place in hot pan with' a:. teaspoon butter. Toss them till thsy re plumped and ruffled .• •on both sides, then place in hot dish. Add to oyster liquor the milk and flour and cools till thick. Add chopped mushrooms and cook two minutes. Add other ingredients in tl order named, then the oysters. Bring to boiling point and pour over hot ' buttered toast. The recipe would need to be doubled or trebled `for buffet supper since it only serves 6. 7'o Cream mushrooms alone: • Peel mushrooms and shop fine. Saute in butter for 5 or 10 minutes until juice begins to flow freely. Tlien add to rich white sauce and serve on toast. Broiled bacon goes well with creamed mushrooms. Chicken En Casserole This casserole dish is especially flavorsome and is unusual in its combination of vegetables. One three pound: chicken, 1 table- spoon minced onion, 1 clove garlic, 3 tablespoons butter, 4 cups chopped tomatoes, 2 cups diced carrots, 2 cups potato marbles, Ye" cup green peas. Clean and disjoint;:.chieken. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 11/4 teaspoons pepperto 1/4 cup of 'bour and roll each piece of chicken in mixture.

Dessert Course For a meal of this kind a number of desserts will immediately suggest. themselves . to you. Ice cream is always good; so are fruit jellies topped with.. whipped cream, Char- lotte Russe `and` things of that kind. Fancy individual cakes or pastries. would fill the bill adequately and you might also have a tray of clheese and crackers for those whose diet says "Sweets are taboo." Coffee, of course, accompanied by salted nuts if you like, brings the meal to a close.

Colors are of two kinds— long-wave giving the sensations of yellow, orange and red, and short- wave giving those of violet, blue and green. Long -wave colors are stim- ulating and short-wave soothing; nature with sky, sea and foliage seems to favor the latter. All rooms for living in need some- thing of both qualities; it may be legitimate for a cafe only to excite, and a rest rgoln to lull, but a parlor and a bed room cannot be so single- minded. In general, long -wave col- ors should be modified by use in. small areas or in reduced. strength, and short-wave by the introduction of lively relief. For convenience, color relations are described as contrasts, 'har- £.Liss Rosalynde Lodge, daughter of Sir Oliver Lodge, world fam- ous scientist, was recently married tc3`,Sir Harold Edgar 'Yarrow, head of the famous shipbuilding firm at Wilsford, near Salisbury, England.

The three pairs of pure contrasts are red with blue-green, blue with 'yellow-orange, and violet with green -yellow, each pair consisting of . long and short wave components which, having nothing in common, "tell" to a maximum extent when related to one another. Harmonies are colors which . do contain elements in common, as yel- low .and orange, red and violet, or blue and green. Discords are pairs of contrasts or (harmonies used out of their special tone relation of yel- low lightest, orange and green next, red and blue next,. and violet dark-- est; ark-est; typical discords 'are mauve with mustard and pale blue with fame. In a room it is generally; safest to have the walls and ceiling lighter than the floor, with a view to stabil- ity of effect. This .suggests, stimu- lating colors for ' them, since these are less exhausting when reduced, and, except for red, are naturally light and so not :liable to look dis- cordant; pink is a : little, w- w ' batt1100406WPle3Trma sseiitials either sa contrast or a lia ;='. moray. If the walls are stimulating it will be more restful to work on -a contrast basis with, 'say, lemon walls, yellow -grey paintwork and violet floor, or light oradge walls, "brick" paintwork and dark blue floor. If, however, the walls are, for example,• sage green, the scheme may be a harmony of sage, apple green, and dark peacock, with con- trasting accents — mats, cushions, pots—in vermillion or magenta. The question of personal color preference is rather an interesting one; it has been suggested that, such preference is a fact always due to some obscure chemical re- action. It appears that a vast majority of people prefer either red or blue—red in the case of women and blue of men—and that there is a general intolerance of greenish yellow, a color which oddly enough is fatal to certain insects. *, * • PLAID TAFFETA BLOUSES Jacket costumes in monotones for spring have plaid taffeta blouses for contrast.

PLACE,. -•-A prison within the city of Jerusalem, perhaps in the •°ower of Antonia; the house of John Mark. "Peter therefore was kept in the prison." This is not the first time Peter was in prison for his loyalty to Christseo 5.18-20. It was to prison that Saul committed those Christians whom he dragged from their homes (8:3). "But prayer was made earnestly." The adverb here translated earnestly is from a verb meaning, literally, stretched out, and is the very word (as an adjective) used by Luke in his account of our Lord's prayer in Gethsemane—Being in an agony, he prayed more earnest- ly. "Of the church unto God for him. Crises make our prayers ef- fectually definite. "And when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night." The helplessness of Herod when God intervenes must reanind one of our Lord's words to Pontius Pilate, Thou wouldest have no power against me, except it were given thee from above (John 19:11). "Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains; and guards before the door kept the prison." Two sol- diers were chained to Peter, one to his left wrist, and one to his right; two more kept . guard at the door. Escape was out of all question. "And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shined in the cell." Certainly the light was due to the presence of the angel, and one cannot but be reminded of a similar occurrence, when the shep- herds were watching their flocks by night. "And he smote Peter on the side, and awoke him, saying, Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands." The writers of the New Testament never embellish their accounts of miraculous events with a mass of detail, as later writers were so in the habit of doing. "And the angel said unto -hire, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sand- als. And he did so. And- he said unto him, Cast thy garment! about thee, and follow me." It was 'not pride that kept thea gel fro}nth' t *a.:., , Sc0.1. tTU`txrc°r+aysxc•-x,y"d::g'@i'$-Mgw.ttx•:"` was not beneath Christ to wash the feet of Peter, it was not beneath an angel to tie his shoe-latchet. But th angel refrained (as angels always do), in that economy of strengtn which is divine, from doing for 'Peter in his hour of need what it was in his power to do himself. "And he went out, and followed. And he knew not that it was true which was done by the angel, but thought he saw a vision." Note how careful Luke is to distinguish oe- tween visions and historical occur- rences, enhancing the trustworthi- ness of his narrative here. "And when they were past the first and the second guard." These were the warders, who wore station- ed one nearer to the inner door of the prison and another at some fur- ther distance away. "They came unto the iron gate that leadeth into the city." It was the gate outside the prison buildings, forming the exit from the premises. The prison seems to have been in the city.

The gates " will open as you arrive. "And they went out, and passed on through one street; and straightaway the angel departed from him." The .an-, gel's work was done. There was no more need for the ministry of mir- acle. "And when Peter was come to himself, he 'said." That is, when he had recovered his self-conscious- ness. He was before in the half.. consciousness of one who is dream- ing and knows that it is a dream: except that in his case •the dream was the truth, and his supposition was unreality. "Now I know of a truth, that the Lord hath sent forth his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews." James had been put to. death and the Jewish people were eagerly waiting for the execution of Peter like hungry wolves. "And when he had considered the thing." Peter's mind worked- rapidly and he decided, what to do. "He came to the house of Mary the mother of John whose surname was Mark." Mary was a woman of some property, who had not sold all her possessions; her husband was prob- ably dead; Peter was so intimate with the family that he calls her son Mark the Evangelist his son. "And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a maid came to answer, named Rhoda." "And when she knew Peter's voice." She opened not the gate for. joy, but ran in, and told that Peter stood before the gate." Here the ministry of bewilderment Is joy. It- self! "And they said unto her, Thou art mad." Three people in the New Testament are accused of being mad, all because they had messages so wonderful people would not be- lieve them: the Lord Jesus (John 10" 20), Rhoda, and the Apostle Paul (Acts 26:24, 25). "But she confidently affirmed that it'was ev-' en so." And so they went on de -1 bating the matter, while all the. time I the answer was waiting at the door. The answer often comes knocking 'at the door' but we don't let it in, 'and we never know that the answer, has been given.

And now he was at no massive iron gate, but the humble door ' of a very humble dwelling—and he continued , knocking. "And when they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed." The entire history of the New Testament is filled with amazement. "But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him forth .out of the prison." There were some things that only Peter knew about the goodness and power of God, ana unless he would tell them they would never be known for blessing and encouragement by others. "And he said, Tell these things unto James, and to the brethren." This was, almost all agree, James the Lord's brother. "According to com- mon Oriental usage, but apparently in opposition to the injunction of the Lord (Matt. 12:50), the family of Jesus maintained a pre-eminence of some kind or other in the Christian community of Jerusalem which was altogether different from the organ- ization of the Church in other places. - "And lie departed and went to an- other place." The notice is so definite that )Fre cannot build anything upon it; if Peter left Jerusalem at all, he may have undertaken some missionarl journey.
