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 the grown-ups. Miss Travers accepted her cup gratefully and relished a slice of the superb Dundee.

And she did exactly that. She crossed out the printed L. Travers" on the title pages and wrote her name underneath a curlicue linking the and and a canopy topping the T. We were in the huge kitchen of the New York carriage house of Maurice Moore-Betty, an internationally known culinary consultant, celebrating the publication of "Mary Poppins in the 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 Rank Price ONCE AGAIN OFFERS ITS By Jimmy Jervey SNAPDRAGONS MAKE LOVELY ARRANGEMENTS Snapdragons are usually favorites with florists because they make beautiful floral arrangements. The Snapdragon in its common cultivated species produces white or red blossoms. However, in Its wild state found throughout the United States -the Snapdragon produces a variety of colors red, white, purple, yellow and variations of these colors. There are more than 30 species of Snapdragons. These flowers are very large and produce a fragrant scent.

They bloom continuously through the Summer and Autumn. Snapdragons are favored by gardeners. These plants are used for Summer beds and borders and for ported plants in the Winter.

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 seated 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 STORY BOOK CHARACTER Mary Poppins as illustrated by Mary Shepard.

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. And I put a little sugar in everything.

It brings out the flavor. I cook by ear. I change all the time." "Do you think Mary Poppins would like Chile con Carne?" "Yes, but she wouldn't have it too spicy for children."

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 Pop-pins's Uncle Wigg who could hang (or sit) in the air, that cake is worth making because it has delicious milk-chocolate flavor.
