A lingerie touch at the throat softens the two-piece suit at right. The Jacket separates at the waist, curving to form a draped peplum in back.

There are other ways to serve parsnips than boiling and butter ing them, shred the raw vegetable and combine with grapefruit seg ments and French dressing to make a very refreshing salad com bination. Or partially cook the parsnips, drop into deep fat and fry, for another excellent vegetable. French artichokes are in the markets this morning in even larger numbers than in the past few months. When cooking them, use plenty of water, add a little lemon or vinegar and a speck of olive or cooking oil so they are brighter and shinier. Let boil until thoroughly done. Or try scraping the leaves and mixing with mayonnaise for a sandwich spread. Speaking of sandwich spread, have you ever served mashed avo cado on hot toast for a breakfast dish? It's good, especially so If there's a sprinkling of salt over the top to bring out the good fla vor of the avocado. Rhubarb is another of the mar ket's special offerings. Stalks are a good deal huskier and more ruddy in complexion than a few weeks ago. Many leafy greens are avail able. Spinach is grand, mustard greens and fresh heads of cab bage are among the best. Cauli flower and broccoli are waiting to be popped into the kettle. Among the fruits there are fresh pineapple, citrus fruits of all kinds, including oversized grapefruit and American grown tangerines, fresh pears and ba nanas. Peas are here to stay, carrots, turnips and beets are this spring's crop. Potatoes are new and pink cheeked. Nuts Added to Hot Biscuits Add nuts to biscuit dough and you've a fancy bread for com pany dinner. QUICK NUT BISCUITS Mix Into a soft baking powder biscuit dough, one or two beaten eggs and chopped nut meats, either walnuts or peanuts. Add extra tablespoons of sugar. Roll out rather thin with square or round cutter and bake like cookies.
