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.

1 8-ounce package spaghetti (broken
small)
1 pound breakfast sausages

1 clove garlic (minced)

ter and cook until nicely browned,
about 15 minutes. Saute onion, gar­
lic, and parsley in sausage fat for
5 minutes, until onions are yellow
and transparent. Remove from fat
and combine with tomato paste and
seasonings. Combine spaghetti with
tomato sauce and turn into buttered
casserole. Tuck sausages into spa­
ghetti in upright position, so that
just the end of each sausage shows.
Sprinkle grated cheese over top and
bake in moderate oven (350 degrees
Fahrenheit) for 20 minutes.

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.

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.
