THIS IS MY LIFE (Continued from page 53) leather jacket not furnished courtesy of the adult Nelsons. Queried about the addition to his wardrobe, he explained he'd financed the purchase by careful saving of his allowance plus the sale of one book of his stamp collection. There is no danger whatever of his losing it — he never lets it out of his sight. We Mtave — Or had — a dog problem. The problem is usually to choose between a happy hound and a liveable house. Our hound— very happy now, thank you — is Nick. A Llewellyn setter, Nick is big, has long black-and-white hair. From the beginning, Nick was trained to stay off the furniture. But he reasoned — and so did we — that if people have furniture to sit on, a dog ought to have something he, too, can call his own. Nick has. It's a good-sized white rug which has a place of importance before the fireplace. That rug is Nick's to do with as he pleases — and he pleases to use it as a bed, a towel on which to dry wet paws, a fearsome foe on which to practice growling, shaking and sneaking-up, and — best of all — a repository for hairs. Meals For Three men, each of whom is an individualist at table, isn't a chore to be tossed off lightly. Ozzie is a steak man, loves heavy cream gravies. David likes meat in any shape or form and will, if pressed, eat peas, carrots, spinach, tomatoes and string beans. The only things that Ricky wholeheartedly enjoys are eggs — in any form — or cheese souffle. Now obviously no female household genius could whip up three meals a day which would please each one of those varied and unorthodox tastes. Something has to give. In our house, everyone gives a little. I've developed menus for each member of the family, including his favorites. These are served in rotation and the rest eat with today's food-fancier, knowing that another day will bring another's favorites. A favorite recipe of mine I discovered years ago. Start by buying one healthysized loin lamb chop for each person; have the butcher trim the fat and skewer each chop. Place them in a flat, shallow pan — a pie pan does beautifully — add salt, pepper, and as much finely-chopped Bermuda onion as your family will take. Stir together a sauce made up of 1 tablespoon flour, 2 teaspoons sugar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon vinegar and enough water to cover the chops. Pour sauce on chops and bake at 350 degrees for two hours — an hour and a half covered, the last half hour uncovered. During the last hour and a quarter, bake potatoes in the same oven. Serve with green salad, and there's dinner. When we entertain, I like a sit-down dinner for eight. You can say what you will about buffet suppers but I've never yet cornered a man into admitting that he likes self-service dining. I like to invite no more than eight, principally because I think our house accommodates that number perfectly. I don't like big parties. No one ever gets the hostess's full attention at them, the hostess is too harried to enjoy her own party, there's too much confusion. No friendship is deepened in the midst of a mob scene, to my way of thinking. 5TY| A Cup ,JX to J6 B Cup 32 k> 38 C Cup 3§ lo 40 White an4 STYIIP22 BROADCfcsTH A Cup 32 to 36 B Cop 32 to 38 White oiily : EXQUISITE FORM BRASSIERE, INC New York \6 • fos AjSgefes 14 After each shampoo or home permanent LOVALON your hair NEW!
