BRADSHAW CHINA HALL Phone 179 Easter dinner, 1946 style, may not include the traditional ham we as- sociate with this occasion, but this needn't prevent it from being fes- tive. Easter and spring go hand in hand, so springlike touches in the food should predominate. er Section, Dominion Department of Agriculture, have a springlike touch with rhubarb juice as a starter and roast stuffed veal as the piece de resistance. A new twist is given to the old stand-by, parsnips, and scalloped corn adds a pleasant color and flavor contrast. Topped off with warm gingerbread with honey mer- ingue, this meal is one your family should long remember. DINNER MENU Rhubarb Juice or Fruit Cup Roast Stuffed Veal Browned Potatoes Parsnips Mexicana--Scalloped Corn 'Gingerbread with Honey Meringue ROAST STUFFED VEAL Use boned leg or shoulder. Stuff with favourite dressing. Roast, un- covered, in moderate oven, 325-350 degrees, for entire cooking time, al- lowing 35 to 40 minutes per pound. Do not add water to pan. Baste oc- ecasionally during roasting. Since veal is rather bland and has comparatively little fat, the meat will be more moist and will have better flavor if a small amount of pork fat is spread over the top of the meat before roasting.

When i 3 " THE Just Among Ourselves A regular department conducted for Mirror readers by Ina St. John. Oud <-- SH) A TRIANGLE Dear Miss St. John: Occasionally I see a letter from a man in the Mirror, so I hope you'll answer mine too. I am nearly twenty-one. Due to sickness I am just finishing a com- mercial course after graduating from High School. Last year I fell in love with a girl I met during my vacation. I wanted to ask her to wait for me but my Dad talked me out of it. I have not written to her except an odd card since that time. The fact is I was interested in a girl here at home. She is a student also. I had just about decided to buy a ring for her when I received a lovely photograph of my other girl friend. It sure brought her back to me. The second girl seems to consider me definitely her property, but I can't decide which I really want. I am invited to No. 1's home next weekend. If I go she'll expect me to take a ring. How can I be sure which is the right girl? Mixed Up. Answer: Well, Mr. Mixed Up, you must be a heart breaker. Two girls, waiting your pleasure! Seriously, if either of the girls were the right one, you would not you meet THE girl there will not be the slightest doubt in your mind. Until that day comes, try not to worry about Romance. It will not pass you by at the age of "almost twenty-one." ut Ina St. John. SWEET SIXTEEN Dear Miss St. John: My sixteen-year-old daughter just doesn't tell us anything. Her Dad and I would like to know about her life outside the home, but she might as well be a stranger for all she tells us. She used to share her fun with us, but now she is as close as a clam. Do you think she is growing away from us? What could we do about it? She is our only girl and the youngest of our family of three. Mr. and Mrs. J. Answer: At sixteen most girls like to feel that their private life is secret, mysterious and very roman- tic. It has absolutely nothing to do with the hum-drum, practical side of life. Naturally this semi-dream world is not to be discussed with her family. It is a phase, Mr. and Mrs. J.--as natural as teething. The fewer questions are asked, the soon- er she will return to confide in you. Ina St. John AN INVITATION Dear Miss St. John We just received an invitation to a wedding.
