rfe Swdttwt* Hb&Qf Spark cmoketo^'s Christmas waa as pay as one could expect, Elegants providing the proverbial spark of life! Of course, there were a number of small parties and

a host of get-togethers for the soldiers home on leave, but the Swelegants gave the outstanding large party in the form of a dinner dance at Loendi the Sunday after Christmas. It was the first affair the club has given in many months and was particularly enjoyable. Mr. and Mrs. Howard ^Morgan of Baltimore, guests of their sister, Mrs. John Davis, were the out-of-towners.

I auppose the Swelegants will "fold their tents" like many of the other clubs and cut down their social activities. We notice that so many did not give their an­nual holiday party because of war con-

"We just can't let our boys fight and die in vain this km*. They must return somehow to communities which have gerised their sacrifice, and because they have sensed

MAXWELL FIELD, Ala., Dec. 31—With wartime rationing limit­ing the preparation of fancy dishes, a mess sergeant here, a veteran of 14 years in the kitchen, offers hints to housewives on how to make the maximum out of the minimum.

Mess Sergeant Eugene Edwards rules the kitchen of the Aviation Squadron, composed of Negro troops and commanded by Major Dwight M. Wilhelm. Recently Ma­jor Thomas A. Bailey, post inspec­tor, gave his mess hall top rating.

Edwards' prize recipe, fitted to the times, ia dubbed "Little Or­phan Annie." The ingredient of this recipe which, Sergeant Ed­wards advises, is excellent for bridge party luncheons, is ordinary meat loaf.

Placed on the luncheon dish, the meat loaf simulates Little Or­phan Annie's body. Potato salad decorates the body as a skirt. .A half hard-boiled egg is used for the face, with cloves improvising the eyes, nose and mouth.,Aspara­gus makes a simple representation of/ the arms, .legs and neck, while a grated carrot is fahioned for An­nie's hair.

To round out the luncheon, Ser­geant Edwards suggests a tomato juice cocktail, hot tea as the beve­rage, with cream cheese and crack­ers for dessert.

According to the mess* sergeant, influenced by Gallic chefs, French dressing should be used instead of mayonnaise in preparing the po­tato salad. And, when boiling the potatoes, a few drops of vinegar should be added to the water to prevent potatoes- from breaking up.

Sergeaht Edwards says, "Don't call hash—hash. Give it a fancy

\ Contrary to popular opinion, roast beef—not fried chicken—is the most popular dish with the soldiers of his squadron, according to Edwards. Perhaps the secret lies in the way he prepares the roast.

The oven is heated to 500 Fah­renheit, then brought down to 350 degrees, depending on the size of the roast. Into the pa.n are placed sliced onions, carrots, and celery tops, and » lJtt le water. The beef should be basted steadily during the one hour and 15 min­utes of roasting.

When removed from the oven, the roast should be well done on the outside, medium inside, and rare in the center so that the varied desires of the guests can be assuaged. Gourmets prefer a tomato gravy (ketchup, onions, beef stock, seasoning) with their roast beef.

Preferring the deep dish variety, Sergeant Edward says the secret of baking apple pie is the use of lemon to bring out the flavor of the apples.

Sergeant Edwards, a native of Philadelphia, Pa., worked at- the famed United States Hotel In Sara toga Springs during the racing seasons there. He has prepared dishes in leading hotels in New York, Boston, and Philadelphia Added to his civilian experience is
