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 •Tomato-Cheese Salad.

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 Vacation ( >111 fit ... .... .si«.«.»aai 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.
