Teen-age Girls Like Their Party Frocks Full with Snug Bodices By DOROTHY ROE Associated Press Women's Editor LOS ANGELES Young girls like their party dresses snugly fitted above the belt, to show off their tiny waistlines and slim mid riffs, with skirts flaring crisply over multiple petticoats. Whether the grown-up mode calls for skin-tight sheaths of wan dering waistlines, America's younger generation is definite in its fa shion specifications. Having found out how flattering the full skirts and petticoats are to the young figure, these youthful glamor girls demand their crinolines. Smart designers around the country, who appeal to the young er taste, keep in close touch with sub-deb and campus trends, and turn out their clothes according ly. This spring and summer they are showing some slim skirts for street wear, they, are incorporat ing the long-torso look into many young styles, but dor datetime and party wear full skirts and petticoats are still tops. Crisp Swiss organdies and fine batistes, with youthful touches in the form of colorful cotton braid, heart-shaped buttons and other whimsies, characterize the fashions.

We've translated them into cups and teaspoons instead of pounds and ounces, but otherwise give Miss Acton's directions. Threadneedle Street Biscuits, which sound entrancing, are what we call "cookies." THREADNEEDLE STREET BISCUITS Mix 8 cups sifted flour of the very best quality, 6 table spoons good butter and work it into the smallest possible crumbs: add half cup fine sifted white sugar and make them into a firm paste with new milk." Beat this forcibly for some time with a rolling pin, and when extremely smooth, roll it the third of an inch thick, cut it with a small square cutter and" bake the biscuits in a very slow oven until they are very crisp in the center and no part of them remains soft Half a teaspoon ful of carbonate of soda is saidto improve them, but we have not given it thelest Caraway seeds can be added if they are liked. ..- Then we have a recipe from "The Colonel who must have been a man who knew his flour and thin cream, if nothing else. THE COLONEL'S BISCUITS Mix a slight pinch of salt with some fine sifted flour; make it into a smooth paste with thin cream. Divide into small balls, roll them out and afterwards pull them with the fingers as thin as possible. Prick chem all over with a fork and bake them in a brisk oven 10 to 12 minutes. Store them as soon as possible as they are cold, in a dry container to preserve them crisp. They are excellent. They probably are, but we too, have not put them to the test. Thumbing through Miss Acton's book we find some souffles which we plan to put to the test the, sound as if they'd pass in flying colors. SMALL SUGAR SOUFFLES Whisk the white of an egg to a froth sufficiently solid to stand up in high points when dropped from the whisk. Work into it from one to IVi cups fine dry, sifted sugar or more should it be needed to bring the mixture to a consistency in . which it can be worked with the fingers. Now roll the icing into balls scarcely larger than a walnut, a little sugar should be sift ed on the fingers in making them but it must not remain on the surface of the souffles. They are usually baked in very small round paper cases pleated with the edge of a knife, and to give them brilliancy the tops are slightly moistened before being put into the oven, by passing the finger or brush just dipped in cold water, lightly over them. Look at them in about a quarter of an hour and should they be quite firm to the touch in every part draw them out, but if not, let them remain longer. They may be baked on sheets of paper, but will not preserve their form so well. The souffles should be baked in an extremely gentle oven, 16 to 30 minutes or longer if needfuL Miss Acton also gives a recipe for coating large blanched almonds by rolling them in the icing, then arranging on thick writing paper placing three together to form a shamrock or cloverleaf. These are to be cooked 20 minutes or more in a very slow oven until quite firm without taking on any color. They are, she says, very decorative.
