V egetable Trickery
I t seems only yesterday th a t w in ­
te r vegetables were allowed to lie
in storage alm ost
ind efin itely, and
when served, it
was done w ith an
a p o lo g y . Y e t
th e s e w in t e r
m em bers of the
v e g e ta b le king ­
dom h a ve n o t
only good nourish­
m ent but excel­
le n t appetite appeal to offer.
C arrots and sweet potatoes are
ric h sources of v ita m in A w hich we
need fo r building resistance to colds.
R utabaga is also ric h in th is v ita ­
m in . F o r v ita m in B2 you can con­
centrate on such things as tu rn ip
greens, beet greens, green lim a
beans and d rie d peas. Green pep­
pers, which are easily a vailab le as
w e ll as brussels sprouts, are good
sources o f v ita m in C. Green beans,
broccoli and cabbage supply c a lc i­
um , phosphorus and iron.
F o rtu n a te ly fo r advances made in
cooking techniques, none of the w in ­
te r vegetables need wear a hum ­
d ru m a ir when they come to the d in ­
ner table. Dress them up and give
them a b it of seasoning and g lam or
and the fa m ily w ill relish them .

I T H IN K we can divid e women
* into two groups when they look
into
th e ir
old
clothes
closets.
T he re ’s the firs t group who m ake a
w ry face and who try to get rid of
these garm ents as q u ic k ly as pos­
sible. Then there's the second
group. These women th o u g h tfu lly
p ick up each garm ent, consult th e ir
fashion notes and convert the
dresses into something th a t could
have come fro m a s m a rt depart-
, m ent store.
To the s m a rt woman, th e re ’ s not
a dress no m a tte r how old. that
cannot prove useful if she is cleve r
w ith the needle. Some garm ents
n a tu ra lly w ill require a good deal
of re s ty lin g or even com plete a lte r­
ation. O thers w ill need ju s t a sligh t
change in neckline or s k irt to m ake
them
co m p le te ly new and re-
freshed.
Dresses freq ue n tly discarded are
j old fo rm a ts w hich look so woe­
begone when they come out of clos-
, ets. Yet look a t the beautiful m ate-
. ria ls in th em , and th in k fo r a
1 m om ent how nicely they could be
made into p e rfe c tly b ea utifu l house-
i coats, new form ats or fresh-look­
ing suits.
I f the neckline on an old fo rm a l
I is hopeless, i t ’s an easy m a tte r to
a lte r this. Perhaps you w ill buy a
b it of net and w ork this into a new
type o f yoke and sleeves. Sequinned
straps m ay be taken a pa rt and used
at the w ris ts as seen in so m any
of the gowns showing G recian in­
fluence. O r, take the sequins a p a rt
and use them as a decoration
around the neckline, or clustered
together in a design or flower.

q ua lity. Restore it to life by steam ­

a lly.
Y our daughter m ay be looking fo r
one of the new bare shoulder for-
m als to wear at her high school
dance, and this m ig h t be ju s t the
m a te ria l fo r her. There w ill prob­
ably be enough fo r ju s t such a
dress. I f not, select a s m a ll quan­
I tity o f wide grosgrain in m atch­
ing color and use it at the s k irt or
around the bodice fo r trim m in g .
Another good idea fo r the ve lve t
1 g arm ent is a housecoat. I f there is
not quite enough m a te ria l to make
a com fortable coat of th is type,
plan to use coral and lim e draping
at the fro n t, as this is a v e ry effec­
tiv e com bination w ith b la ck velvet.
Am ong the inn u m e ia b le uses fo r
th is velvet, you m ig h t discover th a t
the dress could be rem odeled into
a V icto ria n or Renaissance style
fo rm a l fo r c u rre n t w ear. R ecut the
neckline, m aking it a square or
sweetheart type, and add a b it of
lace ru fflin g to give ch arm . This
lace m ig h t also be used as an insert
in the s k irt or as a decoration
around the w rists.

walked into the telegraph office,
took u pencil, spent three or four
m inutes in deep thought, and
w rote this message to a frie n d
in St. Louis:
“ T ra la, tra In, tra la, tra la .”
He signed it and presented it to
the lady behind the counter.
A fte r checking it. she said:
“ That w ill be 84 ce n ts."
The gentlem an paid her and

"W e ll, how about ju s t adding

The Prize-Winning
Typical of Hansen Kang's flair
for the bolero Is this wine wool
suit worn with a pink tucked
crepe blouse. Roll collar and but­
toned shirt ruffs lend piquancy to
the jacket. Four flaps simulate
pockets.
and req uire ra th e r high style to set
them off pro pe rly. F or the present
season you m ig h t like to m uke them
into a lovely su it perhaps w ith a
m odified bustle.
F irs t select a good p a tte rn and
then prepare the m a te ria l fo r your
project. This w ill probably require
rip p in g the whole garm ent a p a rt as
the rem odeling w ill be a com plete
change from the fo rm e r garm ent.
Pay p a rtic u la r attention to such
d e ta il as the sleeves and the
bustle and follow the pattern care­
fu lly . I f there is not quite enough
m a te ria l, use co ntrastin g ribbon, or |
m odify the style ju s t a little to suit
the in d iv id u a l w earer.
Bustles are a ttra c tiv e only i f they
are styled c o rre c tly . A dress fo rm
is handy to have fo r m oulding the
lines c a re fu lly , as they m ay re­
q uire sligh t adaptation fro m the o rig ­
inal style. Pin and baste c a re fu lly
and then tr y the effect on the actual
person and m ake any other nec­
essary adjustm ents before p uttin g
in the final stitches.
You w ill have to sew both of
these fa b rics c a re fu lly to m ake
them look th e ir best. A llo w plenty
of room , as they do not give when
worn.
When sewing sheer m a te ria l, set
the m achine stitches c a re fu lly , and
test on a s trip of fa b ric before
you do any actual sewing on the
accessory you are m aking.
You
m ay also use tissue paper under­
neath the m a te ria l when sewing,
as this gives the m a te ria l m ore
body w hile you stitch . T his is eas­
ily ripped off when you finish the
sewing.
Planning Wardrobes
There are m any interestin g
ways of choosing clothing for
yourself. One o f the best ways
o f appearing yo u r m ost a t­
tra c tiv e is alw ays to choose col­
ors th a t blend w ell or contrast
w ith yo ur own personal type of
beauty.
I f you have a love ly home, look
to the colors you use in yo ur
room s and “ b o rro w ” them fo r
yo u r w ardrobe. O r, if you have
a lovely p ic tu re p rin t in color,
test the colors against yo ur own
com plexion and see if they c a n 't
fu rn ish
in s p ira tio n
fo r
your
clothing.
Check a ll colors you would use
on y o u rs e lf fro m a ll angles. See
w ha t they do fo r you under d if­
fe re nt lig h tin g , and when you
are c e rta in they fla tte r you a l­
ways, use them as a basis for
y o u r w ardrobe.
I t ’s alw ays a good idea to have
one or two good basic dresses
in the w ardrobe, and several sets
o f accessories to go w ith them .
I f you have a suit, m ake sure
i t fits p e rfe c tly , and then build
a w ardrobe around it w ith d iffe r­
ent blouses and dickies, hats,
shoes and other accessories.
