But no smart homemaker will despair, de-spair, for it's amazing what can be done with a bag of rice, a package of macaroni, and a few good vegetable vege-table combinations. Add to that list some kinds of fish and cheese, and Lenten tables really take on fine proportions. It's important to keep yourself nutrition-minded during this season, as you don't want to cheat your family of any important proteins. You see, they build the body, and repair it as needed.. One protein food a day is essential and that means cheese or fish worked into the menu. Those platters should be kept attractive, at-tractive, too! Nothing sells meal like its good appearance. Wort out clever geometrical designs with several sev-eral different types of vegetables and see how much easier it is to sell them to the family. Select vegetables with a view to color, texture and flavor, and have a pattern in mind when making up a platter with them.

Buttered spaghetti with buttered lima beans, baby beets, tomato sauce. j Buttered egg noodles with aspara- ' gus tips, parsleyed carrots with cheese or tomato sauce. Lenten Menu.
