Let Better Baking' Solve Your
Baking Problems.
True it is we all have baking
problems. Yet. if solved correctly,
we save time because fallen cakes
don't have to be made over again
and we save money too—because the
family simply won't eat tough,
chewy pastry, heavy, soggy cakes, ■
etc.
In fact, it is to avoid just such J
baking failures as these (and many
more) that I have compiled this
cookbook, "Better Baking
"Better I
Baking" brings to you a whole se
ries of baking hints, as well as a
compilation of many of my own fa
vorite baking recipes, Including such
unusual good-to-eat ones as a frost

chocolate fudge cake, quick apple
cake, and even a maraschino cher- '

ginia,” drew a long breath of
relief when Madeleine Carroll
landed safely in New York.
She'd said that she would be
back in time to start work
promptly, but it seemed un
likely that she would be able
to keep her word, especially
when nothing was known
about her except that she was
somewhere in France.
For her the trip was a disappoint
ing one. She couldn't reach either
her family or the orphans to whom
she had turned over her chateau
near Paris. She couldn’t see her
fiance, although she did succeed to
learning that he was in Tunisia. De
spite the harrowing experiences that
she went through, she looked loveli
er than ever when she returned;
she spent a few days in New York,
and then departed for Charlottes
ville, Va.. and "Virginia."

Remember the girl who won a con
test that was conducted over the
radio, and got the name of "Alice
Eden” and a part to a movie as
a result? Her name was Rowena
Cook, and she’s taken it back again
and gone on record as saying that
ROWENA COOK
the lot of a contest winner in Holly
wood is certainly not an easy one.
She was thrilled over winning the
contest and getting a role and a con
tract. Everybody was swell to her.
She'd spent years studying dramatic
art. and naturally thought she'd be
considered an actress.
But she
learned that people just thought of
her as a contest winner.
Her contract expired, and she was
on her own. Instead of giving up
hope, she decided that this was
(•all/ her voinee to make good. "I
literally buried Alice Eden,” she
said the other day. "And started
out to be just Rowena Cook.”
And as Rowena she landed a part
to Edward Small’s "Kit Carson,"
and did so well that she's had a
lot of other offers.

"Love Thy Neighbor" has been of

It takes only one good idea to
make a successful radio program—
Ralph Edwards had one a while ago,
and his "Truth or Consequences”
resulted. It's so good that on August
17 it will switch to the coast to coast
NBC Red network—after starting
out with only four stations!
An announcer of many * quiz pro
gram, Edwards got the idea that
contestants would have more fun—
and so would listeners—if they had
to do something as well as say some
thing. So he adapted the old par
lor game, “Truth or Consequences";
if a contestant fails to answer a
question, he must act out some hu
morous feat. For example, one con
testant recently had to don a 10-
gallon sombrero and sing "I’m an
Old Cowhand.” while riding a bulk
ing electric horse and shooting a
cap pistol.

The Merry Macs (you used to
hear them on Fred Allen’s program,
and now they’re on Al Pearce's,)
are a curious combination—the three
brothers improvise their own ar
rangements. can’t read a note of
music and seldom know what key
they're singing in. They hired the
fourth member of their group, Helen
Carroll, because she'd been elected
beauty queen at the University of
Indiana—only after she'd begun
singing with them did they learn
that she's an accomplished musi
cian.

N outstanding move
A ment developing in
the world of fashion dur
ing the last several sea
sons is the increasing at
tention given to the styl
ing of play clothes. It is
indeed something to reck
on w:th, this matter of
being correctly outfitted
in the field of sports. This new im
portance attached to play clothes
Is proving a lively incentive to de
signers to turn out outfits that shall
add to the picture as well as prove
practical down to the last detail.
There is no more fascinating en
deavor that the field of costume de
sign rs to offer than this of creat
ing play-clothes for young moderns.
It adds greatly to the pleasurable
excitement that materials these
days are produced so nearly per
fect, not alone from the pictorial
standpoint, but that they neither
fade nor shrink in the wash, neither
do they wrinkle or prove unseemly
in the wearing. Playgrounds this
season, because of the spectacular
garb of fu.. loving outdoor enthusi
asts, burst forth in a blaze of color
that fairly dazzles the eye. And of
all the conspirators in the color
game we know of none that are so
loyally flying cheer-inspiring color
ings as are the fashionable-for-play
clothes plaids and stripes.
The picture shows how dramati
cally and picturesquely color-bright
stripes and plaids are being fash
ioned into clothes that go golfing,
tennis playing, cruising, dude-ranch
ing and so forth wherever your wan
derlust happens to take you this
summer.
The very attractive outfit which
you see to the right in the illustra
tion makes one parasol-conscious at
very first glance. Which is as it
should be for one of the very most
important events on the fashion pro

worked out beautifully for the outfit
pictured to add a matching para

that give color to the smartly fash

for this costume is a very happy one
of stripe-printed Celanese crepe for
the skirt and parasol with sharkskin

You can get such easy-to-follow
patterns for play clothes nowadays,
and modern sewing machines have
such a vast equipment of gadgets
and attachments that almost per
form miracles to stitching, tucking,
quilting, shirring, cordtog, it is a
temptation to make one's own out
fits.
Many smart, fashion-aware
women are doing Rist that, buying
up pretty materials and making
their own. It is a fact the records
show that the home-sewing idea is
decidedly on the increase.
Consider, in the light of being
your own dressmaker, the charming
gaytime sun suit which the girl seat
ed is wearing. Just a few yards of
seersucker plaided in vivid colors
were required. You can make the
whole outfit by spending only a cou
ple of hours at your sewing machine
even if you are a beginner at the
sewing game. A little gathering at
tachment in your sewing machine
kit will dispose of the yards of gath
ering at the waistline to just a few
moments. You’ll love the swirling
ballerina skirt and the smartly fit
ted jacket top that furnish the styl
ing theme for this outfit.

Sheer Black liât
Is Smart Fashion
The new hats of sheer black horse
hair braid or of thin net or chiffon
are registering as one of the sea
son’s outstandir^ successes.
The
smartest ones have large brims that
are styled to wear far back on the
head so that they halo hair and
face with a mist of wispy black.
They give you the dress-up look that
is so important for special occasions.
You'll love a hat of this type with
your black and white prints and
with the all-black afternoon sheer
costumes that are high fashion this
summer.
Berets for Smart
Summer Headwear
Fashion experts predict an enthu

with emphasis on hand-knit sweaters
for fall. This pert little bolero sweat
er is just the thing to slip on with
your summer outfits and it will prove
a life-saver to bridge over midsea
son days. It is easily made in sim
ple drop stitch using contrasting pas
tel yarns. Though the yarn gives
the impression of being heavy and
substantial it is in reality light as
a feather.
For chic millinery to wear now
and through the fall, the beret, big,
black and dramatic carries the hon
ors. The present beret vogue is
gall ing momentum by leaps and
bounds. One way of wearing the
new beret is to pose it far back
on the head. There are also dra

turesquely at one side. It is worth
while to study up on the beret move
ment for be assured berets are im<
