Design No. 8840 is easy for even a two-year old to get into all by herself, because it goes on like a coat and buttons all down the front. Its princess lines are ac cented by sweeps of ric-rac up and down, the neckline is finished with a little notched collar, and panties are included, of course.

SEWING CIRCLE PATTERN DEPT. 149 New Montgomery Ave. Many a cook who shines brightly a t cake-baking sadly admits that she doesn’t have the knack of mak ing flaky, melt-in- the-mouth pastry. She feels that it is something she the color of her eyes or her hair. But a careful look at her pie crust through a magnifying glass or mi croscope often gives a clue as to what is the matter. Flaky pastry is made up of many, many thin layers of dough separat ed by long, thin air pockets or spaces formed when the layers of fat and flour are separated by steam dur ing the baking. I P art of this flakiness depends upon the manner in which the fat is cut into the flour and part upon the handling of the dough. If a part of the fat is rubbed in with the fingers or a pastry blender, until it la in very small particles and is evenly distributed throughout all of the flour; and if the remainder of the fat is cut in so that it is in fe ’ly large pieces about the size ol navy beans or peas, then the crust has an excellent chance of be ing both tender and flaky. The large pieces of fat separate the flour into layers, while the small particles tend to make the dough more tender. If all the fat is distributed in small particles the crust is apt to be "crumbly" rather than flaky. To this fat and flour mixture is added the water, a procedure which is best accomplished with a fork. Hie dough is worked lightly to gether into a ball so that it can be rolled out. Overhandling at this point foreshadows a tough crust, yet the dough must be kneaded enough so that it will stick together and form a smooth sheet under the roll ing pin. A slightly richer formula— a proportion of (4 cup of fat to 1 cup of flour instead of the usual V« cup of flour to 1 cup of fat, makes it pos sible to handle the pastry dough more without toughening it appreci ably.

"Now, Mary,” said the house wife, stepping on to the landing, “when you wish to pass down to the garden, go down this way.” At that moment she slipped, and with a great bumping noise she was precipitated to the bottom. “Good gracious, mum!” gasped the maid, “Are ye hurt?” "No; it’s nothing,” replied the dishevelled mistress as she arose. "Then ye’ve got down it fine, mum!” declared the girl. "But if that’s the way I’ve got to go down, the job’s too strenuous for me!” For His Comfort Stranger (savagely)—You’re sit ting on my hat, sir!

A frock of this type is almost a necessity for a young gad-about who takes week-end trips and who is “dated" for infor mal daytime affairs. Fashioned of light blue jersey, it has a basque top with scalloped edges, and the jersey is gored in soft flattering lines for skirt fullness.

Lots of Color in Sight On Spring Style Horizon Look to your colorsl You can align yourself with the pastel enthu siasts or you can go colorfully South American. There is a convincing argument in favor of either. Speaking of the lighter colors, of course you will want at least one, if not several, of the perfectly charming and most flattering pastel wool frocks. Chapters could be written about these fascinating frocks. A favorite decorative touch for these pastels is the trapunto quilted effect. When it comes to the startling South American color technique, not even the rainbow or the whole color spectrum is exceeded in the bright hues of red, yellow, purple and blue that are amazingly combined in daring contrast. There is also a decided showing of vivid russet, brown, tangerine and similar shades in the new color schemes for spring. Lots of purple is used with cerise. Emphasis is noted on beige this spring, and chamois is a sm art new color for coats.
