(See Recipea Below) Our Deepest Chasm la Die tea party the tiling of the pust? I sincerely hope not because there la nothing quite so comfy and relaxing as a good cup of tea And you can make it even more delight ful by sharing it with a few of your frlrnds. The tea hour may be the time to become utterly feminine, with lazy discussions <n fashions of day, the I movie, and tales of cute Ings of Joi and Mary J Or It may b< larged with culinlty, with the trend of the eon- versation leaning more toward cur rent events, politics, books and even the arts. A tea party is one of the sim plest methods of entertaining, be cause even though your resources msy be limited, you can ask a few friends to drop in for tea. I have ■ friend who quite often gives teas on Sunday afternoons. They are highly successful, not be cause of her lovely silverware or china, (because here I must confess that most of her china does not even match); they are successful rattier, because her friends gather for the pleasure of chatting with one an other. Conversation flies fast and furiously—but the group is held to gether by one common bond, the tea cup. The * most meager necessities would include a tea tray', on which the tea set and napkins are placed, a table from which to serve the tea, glistening china, and well-polished silver. If the party Is small you may, as hostess, pour the tea, asking the guests to help themselves to cream or lemon and sugar. If It Is a larger party and It is necessary for you to constantly greet your guests as they arrive, ask one of your friends to preside at the tea table for you. The tea that Is served must be good. It not only must be fresh, but must be hot to be palatable and soothing. If the weather Is warm you may like to serve both hot and iced tea. Serve the iced tea in tall glasses which have been chilled pri or to serving. Sliced lemon and powdered sugar are necessary ac cessories for iced tea. Place the ice cubes in an attractive ice bucket with the ice tongs near by. As an added bit of color and flavor, gar nish the completed beverage with sprigs of fresh, cool mint. Dainty sandwiches, hot buttered toast, thin slivers of cinnamon toast and small English muffins are ap propriate to serve with tea. Popu- * lar accompaniments to tea are sand wiches made from nut bread, sliced very thin, and buttered. You may like to use some of the suggested accompaniments for your next tea party, to give you that much sought-after distinction as a discrimiripting hostess. Hot Tea. Rinse teapot with boiling water. Allow 1 teaspoon of tea for each cup and "one for the pot.” Place tea In teapot, and pour freshly boiling wutcr over tea leaves. Cover and allow tea to steep 3 to 5 minutes, as desired. Remove ball or bag con taining the leaves, and serve at once. Chicken Sandwiches With Cranberry Sauce. Right here and now we put in our plea for revolt against chicken sarfd- wiches that are bone dry! Have you tried putting a thin slice of canned cranberry sauce In with the chick en? We eat cranberry sauce with chicken when It’s served on a plate. Why not in a sandwich? Try a slice of canned cranberry sauce In your chicken sandwiches the very next time you make them and sec if you don’t agree there’s a vast improve ment. Cream Cheese Sandwiches. 1 green pepper (chopped flne) 3 ounces cream cheese ■A cup walnut meats (cut flne) *4 teaspoon lemon juice Dash of Worcestershire sauca Salt and pepper Remove seeds from green pepper and chop flne.

(Released by Westers Newspaper Union.) The deepest chasm in the United States and in continental North America is Hells canyon on the Snake river, directly along the bor der between Oregon and Idaho. This abyss, formed by the Wallo wa mountains of Oregon and th* Seven Devils range in Idaho, ia about 75 miles long. For over 40 miles it averages 5,510 feet in depth.

Sweaters especially have recaptured the fancy of school-faring girls. Be ing so versatile and so fetchingly styled as they are, you wear casual ly and nonchalantly sturdy sweat ers with "catchy" detail for active end spectator sports wear through all the hours of the day. Then when the shadows fail you come out radi antly arrayed in a ravishing sweat er that is "all dolled up" with glit ter and color and touches of hand embroidery (decollette neckline if you so choose) that gives you a bona fide "lady of fashion" look to be envied It is not to be wondered at, is it. that "knitted" has become a magic word in college circles? And here's something encouraging we are telling you—you don’t have to "tend to your own knitting" as in days of old if you do not want to, tor stores and shops are broadcast ing the good news to the fashion world that they are making a fea ture of handknitted sweaters. What's more, you will be surprised to And how reasonable they are. You can get perfectly lovely types with all the little "whimsies" and fetching style accents that discriminating taste demands. So get the sweater habit. Miss Col lege Girl, and take along with you not one sweater but a collection for a whole wardrobe of 'em will be none too many. A plaid skirt, a velveteen skirt, a monotone tailored cloth with a pleated skirt thrown in for good measure, to which add one or more utterly formal floor-length skirts and you will be equipped for any demand of the time, the place and the event We are showing a handknit eve ning sweater in the lower left of the group. It is in Ireland green with big puff sleeves embroidered with bright flowers. A sweater that serves double duty for the college girl is pictured in the lower right It is a golden wool knit and may be worn either with a tweed skirt for daytime, or with an evening skirt Worn with it and considered very appropriate for the college girl, are twisted gold chain necklace and bracelet and an ob long gold watch with link bracelet The cardigan and pullover set shown above to the left promises endless service to the campus-bound collegiate. It has smocked shoul ders (new styling feature) and is in a flattering Araby rose tone, beau tifully tropic knit to add softness. It is worn with a kitten's car wool skirt in beige. Here's something you really should have if you are going away to school. It is an ensemble of knit and jersey as illustrated above to the right. The short, boxy jacket is machine knitted of wool chenille. The hood is lined with the iden tical striped material of the rayon jersey dress. It is available in stun ning new greens and wines and brown tones and smart grays. Yes, indeed, all signs point to a "knitted season.” Woolknit Suit Dramatic Felt Hats Have I^arge Brims (Releaaed by Western Newspaper Union.) Your hat must look important this season. The new dashing wide- brimmed felts do just that. There is no limit to how non chalantly the brims turn up in dra matic ways. The brim that dashes high at one side gives you the new profile hat which is a leading fash ion this season. To show your pompadour off, many felts flare abruptly off the forehead and to emphasize the movement these hats are worn far back on the head. Soft brims that can be manipu lated characterize the newer felts, and to add to their flattery hand some black lace veils are adjusted most spectacularly. Concentnite Skirt Fullness in Front The ideal travel suit for air-con ditioned trains is this woolknit cos tume made of zephyr yarn. The long torso jacket is double breasted with high notched revers and bow- knot pockets. The skirt is cleverly gored for sleek hips and comforta ble flare. Wear it with this new off- the-face beret of navy felt trimmed with a band and bow of pique to match the white pique vestee. A silver lapel flower and silver leaf earrings, navy calf bag and white gloves complete this smart outfit. If you are a black-and-white enthu siast you will love this woolknit suit tn black with white accessories. Interest focuses on skirts this sea son. The fact that the new silhou ette is slimmer does not mean all fullness is abolished. The basic thought in achieving slimness is to keep the sides flat and the very newest treatment is to concentrate fullness directly in front. Then too the new to-one-side fas tenings make for slenderizing lines, and designers handle the drapes al ways with an eye to achieve slim ness. Daytiiue Dresses Feature Jet Embroidery, Nailheads Daytime dresses take on gleam and glitter. Black dresses especial ly are enhanced with elaborate nail head treatments. Jet on black is Interpreted in many ways. It may ba embroid ered on or pookets of jet may be applied and if you are jewelry-mind ed wear jet necklace and bracelet X’OTHING is more important ’ during the summer—and ev ery season for that matter—than this type of casual frock, softly tailored and classically simple. This version (Design No. 1962-B) is ideal for women’s figures, be cause it has a high-busted, nar row-hipped line. And that perfec tion of line is achieved so simply— merely by means of long darts that narrow the waistline and break into soft fullness above and below. Gathers on the shoulders are the only other detailing. The rest is just long, straight seams. *Syncopation Seemed to Cover Patient's Ailment A patient who complained of digestive troubles was told by a specialist that he was drinking too much, and would have to stop it. “Well,” said the patient, "what am I to tell my wife?" The doctor thought for a few minutes, then said: "Tell her you are suffering from syncopation.” The patient did as he was told. "What is syncopation?” asked his wife. "I don’t know,” said the hus band, "but that’s what he said.” When her husband had gone out the wife looked up the word in the dictionary, and found that it meant: "Irregular movement from bar to bar."
