She counts the number of times it takes to blow out a candle — that's how long before your wish will come true. "I'm going to use my new china for the first time," she planned, eagerly. "It's handpainted, Dresden china, and although I have three sizes of plates (a dozen of each), cups, saucers, soup bowls, platters, tea service, no two flowers or scenes or figures are alike. I got my set at an auction and paid a hundred and fifty dollars for it, but before they delivered it, I was offered two hundred dollars more for it, and now — just imagine ! — I find it's worth a thousand dollars. I do love a bargain!" Also about to be used at a party for the first time is Maureen's chest of silver. "But I have no apostle spoons," she mourned. "Every Irish bride starts out with twelve apostle spoons, each one having a figure of an apostle on its handle. At a high tea, you put a spoon in each saucer. But you can't get them over here." (Maureen became the bride of Will Price on Decem'„c: 29th). Maureen intends to play the games they play in Ireland, which she insists are not very different from the ones we play here, except that the Irish love to rib each other. Forfeits are always brought in somewhere, and Maureen remembers once having to run down to the corner store in her bare feet to buy something to bring back to the party, to prove she had gone. "Boots Without Shoes was a favorite game at home," said Maureen. "All those who didn't know the game would be sent from the room, then called back one at a time. When one came in, we'd say: 'Do as I do and then say .what I tell you to say.' Whoever was leader would then go through ill sorts of contortions, the more absurd he better; if the victim is a he-man type he's asked to do all sorts of ballet movements, for instance ; finally the leader would say : 'Now say boots without shoes.' The victim would repeat the words. 'No !' we'd all shriek. Again the whole _ rigamarole would be gone through, the victim bewildered but game, and on until he woke up to the fact that he was supposed to say just boots.' " If Maureen's guests chance to read this, they needn't suppose they'll get off because they now know this game — she has much worse ones in reserve ! Maureen likes to serve cold ham for high tea, or cold tongue, salami, pressed chicken and the like, never cold beef or roast of any kind. In salads, she always serves hardboiled eggs, sliced. Green salad with eggs is her own favorite, but not long ago she came across an interesting new one. FROU-FROU SALAD Cover cold salad plates with equal parts of shredded chicory and white lettuce hearts, cover these with equal parts of tender white celery and boiled beets cut in match-shaped strips and chopped hard-boiled egg whites. Pour over all a French dressing (Kraft's). "In Ireland we make quite a 'do' over bread. It's delicious, bread is. We have brown bread made with buttermilk, sometimes the wheat is so fresh from the field we say the bread is almost green. Then there's soda bread, and good oat bread. Hot from the oven, it's heavenly! Not so good for the digestion, maybe. But here flour is so refined that all the good is taken from it. How I wish I could meet a miller! I'd haunt his mill until he let me have a sack of flour before he got it refined, and then what a bread feast I'd have! "As it is, we use whole wheat bread for sandwiches and Honey and I—" (Honey is Maureen's secretary-companion, last name Basil Rathbone co-stars with Elizabeth Bergner in "Paris Calling," the noted Continental star's first American-made film. O'Neill — can she be Irish, too?) — "think of all sorts of fillings. My maid has ideas, too, and the things we can do with cheese, colored and plain, dabs of pimiento, olive, fish flakes, and so on ! Slices of crisp onion can be used effectively, but usually not for a party. "I'm fond of short-bread, and think we have an excellent recipe" : SCOTCH SHORT-BREAD y2 cup butter cup sugar 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour Lemon Salt Cream until very light, butter, sugar, salt and lemon; then work in sifted flour. Care should be taken to work in flour thoroughly as this makes a very heavy crumbly paste. Then roll in round pieces about T/2 inch thick and crimp the same as edges of pies. Paper bottom of pan and bake in slow oven about 15 minutes. ' Florentines are not Irish cakes, but Maureen thinks them rather like an Irish delicacy and is eager to try them on her guests. FLORENTINES Sift 2 cups Swansdown flour with % teaspoon salt and rub into cup butter ; mix to a smooth paste with 1 or 2 tablespoons cream; roll out, fold in 3 and set in ice-box until cold. Roll out, cut in diamond shapes, place on baking sheets, prick with a fork and bake in a hot oven. Cover with stiff fruit jam and cover jam with stiff meringue made with stiffly beaten whites of 3 eggs and 7 tablespoons sugar; flavor with Burnett's almond extract, sprinkle with chopped almonds and brown in slow oven. Serve cold. . Irish dishes that Maureen misses are yellow turnips, mashed, gooseberry pie, and real Irish stew. "Real Irish stew should be eaten with a spoon," she confided. "You take lap of mutton — that's the part just below the breast, I don't know what it's called here — cut it up and simmer it with potatoes and onions for two hours until the vegetables are completely dissolved. Then it's really something!" Where the Irish excel, Maureen thinks: is in using" up leftovers. "When you have potatoes and vegetables left over, you can make a tasty meal by buying a pound of stewing steak — that'; .58 SCREENLAND
