SANDWICHES THAT REALLY TEMPT
(See Recipes Below)
BL’FFET SUPPERS
THIS WEEK'S MENU
If there's one season of the year
when you like to feel really free
from the heat of the kitchen, then
summer’s that season. You can do
it easily, too. if you'll plan and pre
pare C-O-O-L meals in the early
hours of the day before the heat be
comes sweltering. Then stay strict
ly out of the kitchen until supper
time.
Make mealtime during these
months as simple as possible. Not
only will you be
the more charm
ing for doing less
work, but your
family will enjoy
the simplicity as
a change. One of
the answers to
this is buffet service. An attractive
ly arranged table on the summer
porch is a tonic for hazy summer
appetites.
’Sandwich Loaf.
For Chicken Filling use:
1 cup ground, cooked chicken
*4 cup ground almonds
2 to 4 tablespoons chopped celery
Salt to taste
Lemon juice to flavor
Salad dressing to moisten
Mix chicken, celery and almonds.
Season with salt and lemon juice
and add enough dressing to give
spreading consistency.
For Egg Filling use:
4 hard cooked eggs
¥> cup chopped cooked bacon or
fo cup stuffed olives, chopped
Salt to season
Few drops Worcestershire sauce
Salad dressing or cream to moisten.
Chop eggs, add bacon and Wor
cestershire sauce. Moisten with sal
ad dressing to give spreading con
sistency.
Remove the crusts from an uncut
loaf of day-old white sandwich
bread. Slice lengthwise to make
three or four slices about % inch
thick. It’s a good idea to have the
bottom slice thicker than the other
three since it helps in placing the
loaf when served. Spread slices,
except top and bottom, with
creamed butter, mayonnaise, then«
with different Allings. Use chick
en filling between two slices; egg
filling for the next and chopped
vegetables moistened with mayon
naise for the third or tomato slices.
Stack and cover top and sides with
soft cream cheese piled like frost
ing. Garnish with thin radish slices
and dust with chopped chives. Chill
in the refrigerator several hours be- ,
fore serving. It's better not to use J
lettuce because it offers slicing dif
ficulties after the loaf is served.
For the cream cheese frosting use
¥4 to H pound of cream cheese. Add
rich milk or cream to make a thick
paste. Beat cheese and cream un
til evenly mixed and of goo^ con
sistency for spreading Spread over
loaf to give a fluffy effect, as
though you were swirling icing

LYNN SAYS:
When you think the thermome
ter's going to burst, then think
cool, eat cool, act cool, and you'll
be cool. Drink plenty of water
and cooling beverages.
Be gay and have your meals
casually out on the shady porch
on a bright table cloth. Serve
things buffet style for it'll make
it easier all the way around:
less table setting, less dishes, and
less to do.

O YOU believe in the magic of
D fairy wands? Unless it be at
the touch of a fairy wand how could
such visions of loveliness as the trio
pictured ever come into being?
It is just such lacy, beguiling
sheer and lovely gowns as these
that women who yearn for pretty
clothes envision in their dreams of
"what to wear,” when they go
dancing on a gay summer night.
So be as sentimental, as blithely
romantic as you will in choosing
your midsummer night festive
gowns, keeping in mind that fashion
particularly favors exquisitely frag
ile sheer media this season, with
the emphasis definitely on all white
for evening wear.
The all-white lace dress as pic
tured to the left is making its ap
pearance again and again on best-
dressed women who are attending
fashionable night clubs or formal
events at important summer resort
hotels. It adds to the lure of this
lace that it is American made. It
is as exquisite and beautiful as it
is surprisingly inexpensive. Crisp,
white and delicate, the new laces
make you look your prettiest with
their lure and charm. The dress
has its own rayon taffeta slip.
The South American influence is
very prominent in the white cotton
lace evening gown shown centered
in the group. The four flounces on
the skirt are reminiscent of the
Spanish dancer’s costume.
The
deep capelike collar opens at the
back. With the return of the “gra
cious lady' period, the call for
handsome lace such as fashions this
distinguished frock is outstanding.
Nothing in the way of sheer cottons
surpasses organdy and when it is
elaborately eyeleted as is the or
gandy used for the ’’picture" gown
on the fair socialite portrayed here,
the effect is most eye-appealing. 1

The introduction of black jersey in
the bodice is in keeping with the
present trend. This touch of black
gives a sophisticated look to an
otherwise airy, fairy ingenue frock.
The wing-sleeved bolero and the
very full over skirt effect are high-
style details.
This matter of sheer airy-fairy
fabrics for the party dress carries
all the way through the program of
the “pretty” frocks fashion so defi
nitely favored this season. Often
yards and yards of billowy tulles or
stiffened chiffon or thinnest of mar
quisette go to make up the full skirt
with its quaint little fitted bodice.
A new vogue this season is that
of enormous florals handpainted on
either most diaphanous filmy white
sheers or these flower paintings are
done on white jersey likewise white
sharkskin in dazzling color glory.
Most of the new white dresses of
rayon jersey (with a dull finish) or
rayon crepe are made very simply.
They are. however, given a look of
distinction and importance by in
triguing touches such as gold kid
trimmings, gold or jewefed buttons,
girdles with an enrichment of jewel
embroidery.
Watch buttons! They promise to
be as important as jewelry in the
evening mode, and are used con
spicuously so as to call attention to
their intricate design. Huge flower
buttons add inflnite charm to the
otherwise all-white frock. Immense
mother-of-pearl buttons are fashion
highlights. Some of the pearl but
tons are made up with a filigree
design worked out in gold or silver.
You can get buttons that snap on
and off and thus change the entire
aspect and color scheme at will.
