ask of winter,
replacing it
with lacey doillca. Nor yet will a
change of glassware or a new
dinner set alone do the trick
though even a different pickle
dish does a lot toward adding in
terest. We must look to the food!
Roasts and dressing, rich
gravies, heavy puddings, are all
right on the winter table but

Some Tips
DO YOU ever serve gingerbread
with a meal in place of regu
lar bread? The smartest tea
rooms are doing It! Hot molasses
gingerbread with lots of butter
was Just made for this.
If you want something unusual,
make marshmallow teas. Cut a
small slash In the top of a marsh
mallow, insert a tiny bit of butter,
then set it on a saltine, moisten
ing the bottom to make It stick.
After baking five minutes in a hot
tven. put strawberry jelly in the
little hollows formed in the centers
of the marshmallows.
-
Hot mayonnaise puffs are an
unusual salad accompaniment and
also make delightful appetizers.
Fold one cup of mayonnaise gently
but thoroughly into one stiffly
beaten egg white. Pile on crack
ers, and toast under the broiler
about a minute or until delicately
browned and puffed.
It's easy to spread the tops of
little cup cakes with raspberry

chopped nut meats or coconut.
It's quicker than regular frosting,

Sometime for the main course
pour creamed chicken over the

Or use creamed mushrooms or
some other creamed vegetable.
Garnish roast beef, mutton or
fowl with halves of peaches that
have been heated through and
the hollows filled with the jelly.
I often add bits of leftover jelly
when I baste my roasts. You've
no idea how it improves their fla
vor. Some people like to add a
spoonful of currant jelly to lamb
or mutton gravy to give it a won

When I make chicken cro
quettes, I often make a little de
pression In the top of each one.
Then after they're fried, I fill each
little hollow with a bit of bright

FASHION TIPS
B Y MISCHA
International Authority
In his sincere desire to enable
women to. be truly well dressed,
Mischa, the International fashion
authority, in these fashion hints,
treats the Individual problems of
women. This week he points out
a few devices which may be suc
cessfully applied by the woman
who possesses large or rounded
shoulders.
POOR posture and structural
deformity are the two causes
from which round shoulders arise.
It is poaaible, however, to mini
mize the rounded appearance. Cor
rect aelectlon of clothes Is the
answer to the problem. There are
some modes which definitely muat
not be worn, because they only
aggravate and increase the round
ed appearance. The kimono and
the raglan sleeve are good ex
amples of aleeve styles which
should be avoided by a person of
this build.
Great care should be exerted in
fitting the aleeve and cutting the
arm-eye. The round-shouldered
woman, to appear best, will always
aelect the aet-in aleeve.
Placement of the shoulder seam
la one of the best devices for ap
parently straightening round
shoulders. Constructed slightly
back of the normal line, or slanted
back, it will cause the shoulders
to appear thrown back in an erect
attitude.
AVOID DETAILS
It is important to avoid any
massive details at the front of
the garment, since this only serves
to give the illusion of pulling the
shoulders still farther forwards.
In the evening gown especially,
the round-shouldered woman
should alwaya choose the square
or pointed neck line.
Proper manipulation of collars
is another medium through which
. it ia poaaible to alleviate the effect
of round shouldera. The curve of
the shouldera may be corrected
by placement of the collar.
A soft, crushed collar, or one
which rolls up and away from the
back of the neck, la very flatter
ing. A straight-hanging waist will
aid in concealing rounded or
atooped shouldera. Also effective
ia a well-fitted, fairly long cape
possessing pointed or slender
linea.
Cooks' Kitchen Tours

I LIKE to vary my baking-powder
biscuits In different waya.
Sometimes I spread the tops with
a mixture of orange juice and
sugar before I bake them. Again
I spread the lower halves of hot
baked biscuits with butter and
the upper halves with honey, and
put them together again. Hot bis
cuits are delicious, too. served
with maple syrup.
When you make cocoanut maca
roons, make cooked salad dress
ing at the same time, using the 3
egg whites for the first and the
yolks of the eggs for the second
recipe.
H you don't have enough cock
tail glasses for a large number of
guests, serve your fruit or sea
food cocktails in grapefruit shells
It's a good idea to let croquet
tes stand in a warm place for
about half an hour before frying.
They absorb less fat in cooking
than when ice cold.
Left-over sweet pickle juice
may be used to advantage In
making boiled salad dressing.
it your family is addicted to
cinnamon toast, keep a large
sized salt shaker handy for
sprinkling cinnamon and sugar
on the hot buttered toast.
Use food coloring sparingly, for
harsh colors In food are never
attractive. I add color paste grad
ually from the point of a small
knife or a toothpick, and drop in
liquid color cautiously with a
medicine dropper.
Use a little Imagination and
cocoanut for a new cake decora
tion. Try tiny nests of cocoanut
with a red cherry in the center
of each on a white cake, or white
spokes of cocoanut radiating in a
wheel design from the center of
a chocolate cake, or tinted cocoa
nut in crisscross effect on a white
frosting.
When a cake uses both beaten
yolks and beaten whites, beat the
yolks first; they don't lose their
lightness on standing as the whites
do. I've found that if I set my
bowl on a pot holder or folded
towel, It doesn't dance all over
the table as I beat the yolks
I've found that large loaf cakes
bake best in tube pans. But If you
want to put a center decoration
on your cake, cover the hole with
a circle of white cardboard and

Employment of a definite waist

ACCESSORIES
In all of the different phasea of
a woman's dress there is hardly
a more important item than her
choice of accessories. Nothing Ip
more disastrous to the costume
effect than to have a well-executed
dress completely ruined hv ill
chosen accessories.
Naturally, it is sometimes im
possible to have corresponding
accessories for every dress In the
wardrobe. When this is the case
the hat purse, gloves, hose and
shoes should be selected with the
idea that they will harmonize
with the various costumes at
hand. For example: never choose

a definite color, such as green, for
one hat to be used for all-season
wear. It is wiser and In better
taste to choose black, which will
harmonize with any color worn.
Also, discrimination is needed
in the choice of footwear. Sport
shoes with a sport dress, and
dainty shoes with the dainty
dress of afternoon and evening.
then frost it along with the rest
of the cake.
Do you ever top your meat pies
or casserole dishes with baking
powder biscuits? Twelve to 15
minutes before the dish is to come
from the oven, I place tiny circles
of biscuit dough on top and let
them bake as the dish finishes
cooking
Whenever you carmelize sugar,
use a heavy frying pan iron is
best a medium name, and stir
all the while the sugar melts. It
gets very lumpy at first, but the
lumps will disappear. Let the
syrup boil and bubble until it is
a rich, deep brown, but not black.
Be sure to take the pan off the
fire before you add the hot water.
Add all the water at one time, and
stir until every bit of sugar syrup
is dissolved.
Substitute a cheese tray, fruit
and crackers for dessert ever"
now and then. Split lady lingers
