BROOKLYN EAGLE, APRIL 18, 1947. 13 at I E.N Are Tasted, Tested Wine, Fish, Shortening Versatility of Use, Proper Serving Shown By ELSA STEINBERGER Food Editor Tasting and testing is one of the pleasures in the life of a food editor, and, fortunately, there have recently been sev. eral such occasions. Best Foods, served a luncheon for which most things had been prepared in triplicate using butter, margarine and an other shortening. Butter and margarine were used for the spread for bread, for the vegetables, and for cake frosting.

For' frying, for cream sauce, in biscuit, cake, cookies, all three fats' were used. The results were so similar that it was found in counting votes for preference, that the tally was so close that it proved the old adage "that it is a poor workman who blames his tools." In other words, if you "know how" you can adapt available materials to get good results. (In cake, for example, the preference was for margarine.) Wine Serving San Benito Wines entertained for 1 luncheon in their "cellar in the clouds." The tables were set in "mission row," an atmosphere reminiscent of the old wine of France and Italy, with its stained glass windows, and rows of wine casks between which the guests met. Table settings showed that elaborate accessories are not necessary for the serving of table wines. Clear glasses are usually preferable to show the rich, jewel colors of the wines.

Sherry, served before the meal and with the seafood cocktail is usually offered in a sherry glass. The chicken and vegetable entree was accompanied by a choice of Sauterne, Chablis or Claret, and these were served in 4-ounce "tulip" shaped glasses. Champagne, served with the dessert; made its appearance in a shallow saucer-type glass which had a 5-ounce capacity. The champagne glass frequently has a hollow stem in which the bubbles sparkle. Stemmed glasses are popular for wines that are chilled before serving as the warmth of the hand does not change their temperature and bouquet.

Wine glasses are placed either in a group to the right of the water goblet (which stands near the tip of the knife) or in a diagonal line to the right of the goblet, slanting toward the right and toward the edge of the table. Fish Dishes The National Fisheries Institute held their second annual convention, a part of which included a reception-buffet, at which fish was served in every conceivable way. Fish appetizers, fish salads, cold fish, hot fish, fish in aspic, fish in pastry, fish in every way you can imagine and many ways that have probably never occurred to you. Fish of all kinds were included, to satisfy the tastes of guests who had come from all over the United States and Canada, and a few other countries, as well. 00 LIPSTICK, NAIL POLISH AND ROUGE come in a beautifully blended red which was inspired by pirates of old.

Naturally, its name is "Contraband!" Have You a New Lipstick? This Is How to Use It By PATRICIA LINDSAY Naturally in Spring a woman wants everything new, right down to a new lipstick. This year she has a marvelous selection from which to choose. Her lips can be any hue if she has the audacity to tint them an unusual shade and tie in her costumes with the new up. The best way to make up your mouth is with a lip brush because of the clean, unblurred outline the brush gives. Here is how to paint your mouth.

Start with clean lips from which every trace of previous make-up or cream has been removed. Dust with face powder to get a dry surface. Carefully stroke the brush back and forth over your lipstick to gather a generous coating of the color. Draw the outline from the center of your upper lip outward and from the corners inward on your lower lip. Fill In Outline Again load the brush with color and fill in the outline.

Or, if you wish, block in the outline with your lipstick and a steady hand and eye. Press lips together over tissue to blot excess color. Fashion models advocate a second coating, applied similarly. If you do use two coats, make your first coat a light one. Always draw your lips full and soft-no sharp cupid bows or corners and never a hard, thin line.

Experiment with your brush and lip color. And hit upon a pretty outline for your lips. Then remember practice makes perfect. Use the brush every time you apply lip color and you will not go about with smeared lips and such! One firm now offers a lipstick brush and a lovely red lipstick plus a box of face powder for $1.50 plus tax. The package is and white checks, so look for it on your cosmetic counter.

People will admire you and listen when you speak if your voice is clear and pleasant. Miss Lindsay has written leaflet L-17, "Improving Your Speech."

Coombs of Springfield, Riding Broomstick 20 Years Radio 'Witch' Still Loves Role By MARGARET MARA The dramatic actress who longs to play Shakespeare invariably envisions herself as Lady Macbeth, but there is one actress who wouldn't give two cents for that role. Given her heart's desire, she would choose the part of the Number One Witch in the Macbeth-haunting trio. She is Miriam Wolfe of Lincoln Place, who started playing the role of a witch in radio at the age of 5 and, 20 years later, she is still riding the broomstick on the airwaves. Miss Wolfe, who has portrayed a witch on WABC's children's serial, "Let's Pretend," since it started 16 years ago, loves to curl her fingers, scrunch up her pretty face and give out in the blood-curdling tones of a hag. Retentive at Four "I had a mature voice when I was five and I have a prodigious memory" is the way Miss Wolfe summed up her qualifications for witch-work and learning radio roles.

Her remarkable memory determined her vocation. "It was when I was four," related Miss Wolfe. "One night, before she put me to bed, my mother read me the poem 'Twas the Night Before I had never heard it before. The next morning I recited the whole thing right through." That was back in the days of the crystal radio sets. Miriam's first radio appearance was with "Uncle Gee Bee," a children's program presented by Gimbel's.

She recited a different monologue every day. She was only six when she played at the Heckscher Foundation children's in a presentation of "Macbeth." She Witchiven the part of the First Predecessor Was 98 When she was 12 she was called upon to replace a radio "witch" who had died. It was in "The Witches Tale" and her predecessor was a woman 98 years old! Miss Wolfe has appeared in the serials "Amanda" and "The Sparrow and the Hawk." Recently she completed three albums of narration for Lyn Duddy's stories "The Three Fairies," "The Witch" and "Hansel and Gretel." Miriam Wolfe is a very attractive girl. Slim, petite and a brunette, she has classic features, clear skin and lovely eyes that are gray sometimes, and at other times, depending on her costume. appear to be blue.

"When I'm playing a witch they tell me my eyes are green," she said. Realistic in Role Miss Wolfe credits Nila Mack, produced of "Let's Pretend." for her development as a radio actress. Miss Mack cast Miriam as the "Witch" or "Voice of the Wind" or the "Ugly Stepmother" in all the presentations of that radio show. Miss Mack, who left a stage career to produce the radio serial, used to play those parts herself until Miriam Wolfe came along with a voice the producer described as "ideal" for the roles. Being a witch has its drawbacks, Miss Wolfe revealed.

"Children never ask me for my autograph when they attend our studio show," she said. "I am always in costume and they stand off and look at me as though I were a menace," she laughed. Once Miss Mack received a letter from a listener. It read: "Is Miriam Wolfe a real witch? If she is, why don't you burn her!" That letter is Miriam Wolfe's most prized testimonial. 8 MIDRIFF PLAY DRESS shown here in Ameritex black caliquette with red ric-rac trim, made with McCall pattern design 6387.

Helen Keller Makes Dramatic Appeal For Europe's Blind A dramatic appeal for the blind in Europe was made by Helen Keller at a tea given at the Cosmopolitan Club, 129 E. 65th marking the opening of a drive by the American Foundation for Overseas Blind, Inc. Blind and deaf since infancy, Miss Keller is acting as counselor for the foundation. "Recently I have returned from a soul-piercing visit to the blind of Europe," said Miss Keller, "extending through Britain, France, Italy and down to Greece. With my feelings still raw, the pleasant security which wraps us about here, in the only large area where the skies have not rained wounds and death, is a reproach to me.

Pitilessly my mind flashes before me beseeching forms--small, innocent, blinded children whose upturned faces I touched while their mutilated arms tried to returning affection. The whole situation is a cry, and I cannot rest. "Try to imagine the total darkness of spirit and intellect from which many blind of Europe were rescued more than a century ago," continued. "Think ushe how they clung to advantages, few but precious, on the steep height of restoration advantages of devoted teachers, that sheltered them, and Braille books slowly accumulated out of scanty funds. Picture the lacerating suddeness with which the late war tore from them their chances of peaceful education and creative service to society, by wrecking their hard-won schools, libraries, workshops and homes.

"As the Bible says, life never forgives us if we 'come behind in any good If our consciences are not to turn upon us, it is imperative for us to do something to help these courageous blind surmount their difficulties," concluded Miss Keller. Other speakers, were Myron C. Taylor Seligman, secretary of the organization is headed by William Ziegler Jr. The goal is $2,000,000 which will provide Braille schools and equipment and other aids to the blind. M.

Actually she is Miriam Wolfe, (upper right) who has played the part of the witch since the radio serial started in August, 1930. Haworth's Mail Quitting Wisdom of Job, Complaint Queries DEAR MARY HAWORTHFor some weeks I have been debating a course of action. I have a background of eight years' work in Gov.

ernment and now, after a short stay in a certain section to which' I transferred recently, I am about to quit the job. Knowthis, a majority of ployes in the section want me to use any influence I may have to Mary Haworth help depose a Mary Haworth minor supervisor is--I must say in all frankness--the most cordially hated person I have ever known in my work experience. What troubles me and gives me pause, after trying to learn what makes her tick, is a feeling that she isn't even remotely aware of the revolt which seethes all around her. I doubt that she is really deliberately vicious. Boss Spinster She is a spinster and fortyish, statuesque in appearance and sweet in manner to her superiors.

But as a former veteran said of her, after a recent visit to the office, "She wears a top sergeant's authority with Hitler's grace." Every one despises her and says the most horrible things behind her back-even a couple of those whom she openly favors cad who are ingratiating to her. Yet I doubt that these people would stand together to support my charges even if I went out on a limb to plead their She is the supervisor assiduously supervises. She has the unfortunate personality of a school teacher who reacts with raised eyebrows of horror to every error, no matter how trivial. Occasionally an employe is goaded beyond control and lashes out in fury, whereupon she demurely gives a answer which, oddly enough, fails to turn away wrath. Has Protection I understand from those who knew her years ago that she was once considered incompetent, even stupid.

The fact it has taken her nearly 20 years to reach a position of only minor importance seems to corroborate this view. Today, though a tireless, conscientious worker, she makes many mistakes which she passes off as unimportant, while rebuking subordinates for lesser errors. I believe the department's efficiency has suffered because of this. Many on the staff are quite young but very capable, and in retaliation they make errors and break rules with malicious deliberation. I understand the chief supervisor has been informed of conditions but doesn't believe they exist.

Also, I've heard the woman has protection higher up. However, none of this solves my problem. Should I take up my lance and do battle to try to help these wretched people? Or should I sidestep whole dangerous business -since if I got no support I would be branded as just another Government trouble-maker? A. N. Name Is Legion DEAR A.

woman's name is legion. You've been fortunate if she is the first person of the type you've met during eight years in the business Basically she is stupid, yes; but not so stupid that she isn't dimly aware of her deficiencies in comparison to persons of real ability. She has reason to be afraid of losing out in odds-even competition for advancement merit and compensates for lack of brains and superior productive capacity with a prodigious show of conscientious timeserving and eager servility higher authority. Often enough, her stoic plodding and the onward rush gifted confreres to richer fields combine to invest her at long last with a position of minor importance in the bailiwick where she started on the strength being oldest mostly living inhabitant around those nounce the engagement of their daughter, Miss Joanne Coombs to William R.

Sees Threat After which she lords it over newcomers and gradually reduces the output of her sector to the level of her own native mediocrity. Not that this is her reasoned intent; rather it is the net result of sniper warfare she wages against any threat to her straw-boss prestige. To squelch initiative that otherwise might put her in eclipse again, she must dictate, disparage and revise whatever fresh young ability does. When higher authority has gone to sleep or is closing an eye to this sort of thing, it's every subordinate for himself in coping with the problem she presents. The able character won't stand for it.

He will pull up stakes and move on, just as you are about to do. Those who remain to stall and gripe, and moan about galling frustration, are tyrant's meat. They are the sort, just as you say, who haven't the guts to arm a crusade on behalf of justice. M. H..
