A vet Speak» Softly, So eran officer advised him Nothing Blow Up to give or- ders in a low tone of voice and speak slowly and cautiously. There were human and chemical tensions there, intermingling, and a sharp word might twitch a workman's nerve and cause trouble.

Once upon a time a friend told me that to her the addition of ‘‘one cup of imagina tion” was the most important ingredient that could be used in any recipe. So whole heartedly do I agree with her that today I want to give you a number of recipes to which that ingredient, imagination, has been added. In fact, so successfully has this been done that each of these recipes is different, yet each is de licious — each fairly shouts "Try me!" These recipes, moreover, have been chosen as luncheon favorites because, of all of the meals of the day, the family luncheon some way seems to be most neglected. Take the baked apricot and tapi oca pudding for example; have you ever before thought of serving a cof fee sauce with such a pudding? Yet the blend of flavors which results from combining this particular pud ding with this particular sauce is really delicious—long to be remem bered. Sausage Stand-Up.

He attended Sandhurst and en tered the army. He was at the front in France from the first to the last gunshot. P Twenty years ago he began campaigning and agitating for an empire matrix of commer cial and military airlines, pre dicting an hour of peril when only such unity and co-operation of scattered air forces could hold the empire together. He was one of the originators of the British commonwealth air train ing plan; established the Royal Air Force college in London and became commandant of the Im perial Defense college. He built Canada’s 9600.000.009 empire air force which just now is greatly Statistics show that there is an strengthening Britain's hopes Increase in yardage sales owing to with its 40.000 students and its the fact that a growing number of daily yield of skilled fliers for women are taking up home sewing the defense of Britain.

I Cape, Suit Ensembles In Spring Collections Considerable emphasis is being placed on cape costumes in the ad vance spring showings. The cape formula is being worked out in ways most fascinating. For example, a charming costume turned out by a noted designer plays up bright and neutral colors in the latest approved manner. The suit of soft gray wool consists of an all-round box-pleated skirt with a dressmaker-styled Jack et that is hiplength and has two huge patch pockets. Now comes the stun ning cape that tops this neat suit! It is full length, made of red herring bone weave, lined with lime green silk. A good rule to follow might be "a cape with every costume” so popu lar is the cape idea growing. One of the newest outcomes of the cape vogue is that many of the early spring print silk frocks are worn with long cloth capes lined with the identical silk of the dress.

WNU—13 10—41 Modern Handbags Gain Slick Smooth Efficiency What handbags have lost In the absence of French models, (which formerly inspired 90 per cent of our handbag styles) they are gaining in improved construction, better ma terials, and interesting tricks which make them newly efficient. One trick is a slot which feeds a nickle outside the bag. Another is a key clip on a light for inside the hand bag—so that keys may be located instantly. Another is the gluv-gard, which anchors one's gloves to one’s handbag. Handbag interiors are gaining a great deal of attention. More and better planned pockets are the rule. And one important new detail in interiors is a special pocket zipper. When you slide your hand into a pocket protected by this fastener, there are no rough teeth to get past —the zipper is kind to nail polish. It slides like a streak and adds orna mentation, as well as safety to American-made handbag interiors. A SUPERB LOCATION Only a few steps from every important point in Seattle.
