Trimnved with ffiatehln* colored velvet band, it^Jralshinff touch It a lovely bubfc of ehevrte* (aitlfiefarfTfc^eoiirse). BY EDNA MILES A BASICALLY simple straw hat that can team* up with a suit, with a print dress, with a tailored dress, is the love of many women for spring. It's that hat that appears unfailingly in new forms each spring. ' Since hair is longer this spring, more hair naturally calls for more hat. Spring's little straw -hats are more generous than they've been in the past. Often, they sit straight on the head and while they may have flower trim, they're more likely to have artificial fruit as trimming. Cherries, for example, are very much in evidence on spring bonnets. One bonnet appearing this spring is both universal and classic in feeling. Designed by Pinehurst, it's in pettipurl braid straw with cushion type brim. Clusters of chenille strawberries appear at each side of the brim, to provide balance. Face veiling is soft and flattering. Another hat from this same designer has sideswept lines and a small scoop brim, ll's a straw bonnet, too, and is trimmed at one side in trailing red cherries. It's banded in velvet Fashionably smart is this yoong lady in her universal type of bonnet. Designed by Pinehurst, It's made of pettipurl braid straw and features a soft veiling and flattering cushion type bMtit trimmed with little chenille strawberries. COOK'S CORNER (By Marie Schaettgen) HOT CROSS BUNS POPULAR DURING LENTEN SEASON The Lenten menu problem is with us again. It seems such a | slior^ time since this column wan giving Lenten recipes and hero we are again, with Kaster up-1 proaching and spring just aroun<l / the corner (we hope). It's goin? to need long legs to get around these snow-banked corncrs this year. We can start the Lenten seaion with something we think is particularly good so the family Won't complain too much wbeu we give them creamed eggs ott-^toast for the nth time. Shrimps and Rice With Creole Sauce Wash thoroughly and boil rice Until tender. Drain and add salt and pepper. While rice is boiling, ,» prepare shrimps by boiling for w* twelve minutes in salted water. Cool with cold water. Peel aod remove vein. Now prepare croole sauce as follows. Fry lightly in large frying pan one thinly sliced pnion, one small sliced green pei>- per and several slices of diced bacon. When done, add one small can of tomatoes and one small can tomato soup. Season to taste and cook slowly one-half hour. Add shrimps and blend together. Continue cooking for ten minutes or Until shrimp is thoroughly heated. Serve over rice which has be^n -liept hot in double boiler. Two' pounds of shrimp and one-half pound of rice will serve four or five generously. The bacon iflay be removed before adding tomatoes or one tablespoon butter may be substituted for the bacon. Almost as ancient as worship itself is the hot cross bun. Although the stories of the origin of these spicy, sugar-coated buns are varied, their association with religious customs has never faltered. Records claim that Cecrops, legendary Greek hero said to have been the founder of Attica, known today as Greeve, offered a sweet bun to the gods as far back as 1,000 B.C. Petrified and perfectly shaped buns were discovered at Herculaneum, destroyed by Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D. The early Egyptians offered buns, bearing two horns, to their Moon Goddess. The early Greeks changed the horn mark to a cross. The Saxons marked their buns with the cross in honor of Eastre their Goddess of Light. Romans, too, ate crossed bread, buying it at the temple doors when they Went to offer public sacrifice. The Christian fathers adapted the Greek and Roman custom of eating crossed buns as a religious factor in Lenten observance. Some reports state this custom stems from the bun's universal religious observance, while other reports say the bun was something the peopla felt they could eat during the Lenten period to replace pastries, cakes and other rich foods which they may have decided to forego. In England, which most people consider the native land of the modern hot cross bun, they were designed to be eaten oil Good Friday, a fast day. Today, however, hot cross buns are eaten during the entire Lenten period. Hot cross buns are most popular today in England and in the United States, where the custom was brought by the early English settlers. The religious sognificance of the hot cross bun lias been lost today, and it is no longer emblematical. Quaint traaitions r.ns superstitions still cling to the hot cross bun. In England, it is believed if a hot cross bun is hung in the chimney place on Good Friday, and left there during the entire year, t will bring good luck. Another olden superstition calls for the preservation of hot cross bun crumbs in strong boxes to be dissolved in water and taken as a cure-all when needed during the year. So popular were these buns that a poem was written about them. This -Mother Goose rhyme is familiar to everyone: "Hot cross buns! Hot cross buns. One a penny, two a penny, hot cross buns. If you have no daughters, give tf^em to your sons, One a penny, two a penny, hot cross buns! If you have none of these elves, Then you may eat them for yourselves."
