But when the Apple Crumble was safely in the oven and the Candy Kisses were bedded down on a layer of powdered sugar, two of them Cassie Garbus and Ralph Soil came to talk with Miss Travers. Cassie asked, "Did you choose Julie Andrews to play Mary Poppins in the movie?" "Yes, together with Mr. Disney." "Does Mary Poppins have any children?" Ralph wanted to know.

"No," Miss Travers answered in her brief, definite way. At last the Apple Cumble and Candy Kisses were served. There was also Dundee Cake and Ladies' Cookies, cider for the children and a pot of tea for cavities loosely with stuffing. Skewer neck skin to back.

WATCHES Brand New Precision Made Genuine Imported Men's Swiss Kitchen: A Cookery Book with a Story." For this book Miss Travers gathered recipes British children and their nannies have enjoyed over the years. Moore-Betty added more recipes and put them all in shape. There was so much going on in that kitchen I didn't know where to turn first. Besides Miss Travers and her editor and Moore-Betty and his two assistants, there were eight 9 and 10-year-olds from the Bank Street School for Children plus their teacher, photographers and other newspaper writers. The children were clustered around Maurice, helping him make Apple Crumble and Candy Kisses.

As they worked at a large counter, crumbling the Crumble and shaping the Kisses, they kept saying Mary Poppins would do this or Mary Poppins would do that. I longed to record their remarks about that remarkable character, but I was also greedily eager to talk with Miss Travers, one of the greatest of all writers of children's books. She was sea ted at a table a little distance from the counter. I made my choice. I sat down beside her.

"How did 'Mary Poppins in the Kitchen' happen?" "My agent suggested the idea and after turning it around in my mind I decided to write the book." "Are you going to write another Mary Poppins story?" "If she comes back and tells me to. I never know what she'll want me to do. She never ex plains beforehand. Why should I go against her wishes?" "Do you ever cook?" "All the time." "What do you like to cook best at present?" "Chile con Carne. Very hot." "How did you meet up with Chile con Carne?" "I first ate it in Virginia." (In British fashion, Miss Travers said "What recipe do you use the one from Virginia?" "No, from the New York Times.

But I add a few things of my own. I'm a great one for cooking with herbs.

You add a little of this and a little of that, you put in a word or take one out, and then if you are lucky you have something good to eat or a good poem," P. L.

Travers said. She was discussing her latest book, "Mary Poppins in the Kitchen: A Cookery Book with a Story" (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich). It's not surprising that P. L. Travers should couple cookery and poetry.

Long before she wrote "Mary Poppins," she was known as a gifted poet Pamela Lyndon Travers was born, of an Irish father and a mother of Scottish and Irish descent, in Australia but spent only her young years there After that she lived in England; in recent years she has divided her time between that country and the U.S.A. It was while living in England, recovering from an illness, that she began to write "Mary Poppins," the book that has enchanted young and old readers all over the world. "Mary Poppins in the Kitchen," for which Maurice Moore Betty was the Culinary Consultant, tells the further adventures of that classic figure, her friends and relatives and the children she looks after. When asked to name her favorite recipe in "Mary Poppins in the Kitchen," Miss Travers said, "Ceiling Cake." Apart from the delightful association of its name with Mary Poppins's Uncle Wigg who could hang (or sit) in the air, that cake is worth making because it has delicious milk-chocolate flavor. CEILING CAKE 1 large egg, separated 2 squares semi-sweet chocolate Vi cup (2 ounces) butter cup granulated sugar Vi teaspoon vanilla extract cup milk baking powder teaspoon salt 1 cups sifted all-purpose flour (sift first and then measure) Round cake tin, about 9 by 2 inches Set the oven at 375 degrees.

Butter and flour the cake tin. Shake out the excess flour. Separate the egg yolk the white. Melt the chocolate in a Save Egg Whites Although a recipe for a couple of loaves of bread or coffeecake may call for brushing the tops with an egg white mixed with a little water, you probably won't use all the eggwhite mixture. Pour the remainder into a clean, empty baby-food jar or similar container and store in the freezer for the next time you need such a wash.

By CECILY BROWNSTONE Associated Presi Food Editor The creator of Mary Poppins that famous storybook nursemaid who charms her charges with her magical capacities and strict discipline has her own rules. When I asked her to auto graph my copy of "Mary Poppins in the Kitchen," which her publishers had sent me on her behalf, she wrote: "Cecily Brownstone, with Greetings irom P. L. Travers." But when I asked her whether she would also autograph a neighbor's copies of "Mary Poppins" and "Mary Poppins in the Park," which I had brought along, she said firmly: "I didn't give these books, so I can only sign them." And she did exactly that. She crossed out the printed L.
