This Golden, Fluffy Omelet Captures Interest (See Recipes Below) Lenten Meals Eggs, cheese, fish and vegetables —these are the foods that will be popular with the market basket during the next few weeks. If you are going to form the bases for your menu from these dishes cook them just as carefully as you do the meat that you use year 'round, for you can’t take chances and let mealtime be come dull or unattractive. Point up fish and vegetables with lemon or other attractive sauces and flavorings. Serve your egg and mac aroni dishes in attractive settings, with some carefully thought out gar nish.

A souffle is a properly dramatic Lenten dish, but one which must be baked carefully if it is to come to the dining room at the peak of goodness. Select a cheese that will cook readily and smoothly, a dish that is in good proportion to the souille, and cook the mixture at a very low tempera ture so it can rise to it* height slowly.

(Released by Western Newspaper Union ) IN DISCUSSING and planning for * a program of timely dress for women during the war period, it has been definitely conceded by every one concerned in fashion industries and design that in order to render the highest service women must see to it that they are an inspiration in [ appearance as well as in deed. This sentiment is reflected in the charming costumes illustrated i above. These models, selected from a galaxy designed and displayed by the style creators of Chicago in their spring showings, are just the sort that women will love to wear and soldiers will take delight in see ing. Gay in color and young in feeling is the ensemble shown to the left in the foreground of the above illustra tion. Here a navy coat in spun rayon and wool mixture is worn over a red and white printed crepe frock. The self-fabric ties, tipped with little plastic dice, repeat the print motif of the dress, thus mak ing a new-looking closing for the coat. White saddle stitching trims pockets, sleeves and the red leather applique on the coat front. To the right in the foreground a novelty striped print in white and red on green ground is paired with a bright red spun rayon and wool jacket. Self fabric ruching trims the dress collar which is worn outside the cardigan jacket. The skirt has all-around box pleats below a deep hip yoke. The costume shown to the right in the above illustration con- veys the most welcome and highly important style news, that the bo lero costume has returned in all its glory to the fashion picture, You will see boleros played up through out the style program this season. In this case self-color eyelet em broidery elaborates the bolero jack et of a two-piece navy sheer cos tume. The bodice, softly draped at the top, is pink. To the left above in the picture is shown a two-piece dress that uses a shantung weave, combining white, orange and brown in daring con trast. The separate skirt features box pleats from a hip yoke. Box pleats are really newer than side pleating. Eminently correct for a wartime "suit wedding" is the creamy beige sheer ensemble at Ute top right in the above illustration. The full-length coat looks like a dress but is really a wide pleated skirt seamed to a jacket top, with self-covered buttons down the front from neck to hemline. Finely pleat ed bowknots trim the four slot pock ets that adorn jacket and skirt. The dress worn under this coat repeats the pleated skirt of the coat, while gathered bodice fullness developes from a deep yoke. Generally speaking, the favorite silhouette is the long torso effect with some sort of pleated skirt. Also, there is much interest in slim wrap around skirts and those which have slenderizing harem drapes.

Slip it on over your head, tie it in back—and Différence in Days How much longer and shorter, respectively, are the longest and 1 shortest days of the year than the days next to them, is asked. According to the U. S. Naval observatory, the difference in the length of day varies less than a minute from day to day in the weeks December 17-24, and June 17-24, in which the shortest and the longest day of the year oc curs. Therefore, the difference in the length of day is less than a minute between, for example, De cember 21 and December 22.

Style Show Reflects Lowly Fabrics’ Use styles held in Chicago recently showed the 18.000 buyers from 17 states that they were going to carry home an array of chambrays, cali cos and denims in women's and chil dren’s fashions. F<- these lowly fabrics have come into their own because of the influence of war. Style and practicability are still the theme in these fashions, for the designers have kept their eye on both national defense needs, and the desires of millions of women pur chasers in stores throughout the na tion. Dresses, garden costumes, play clothes and work uniforms—all have been styled by the designers to reflect the signs of the times Until manufacturers run out of twills and such fabrics which are fashioned into foundation garments, girdles are here to stay, despite the rubber shortage. Priorities on tin and other defense needs have caused tie fastenings instead of hooks and eyes, zippers, buttons and clasps to be substituted Everything in garments has taken on the practical atmosphere. Every thing except the hostess coat which still remains silken and luxurious.

The one is the coming vogue for allovcr em broidery on wool, or rayons and cot tons that look like wool.

Flounces are among the ways designers are contriving to add a prettily feminine note to simple daytime frocks In the smart est dress collections you will see flounces conspicuously featured.
