THE M1IOOL LUNCH
(See Recipes Below)
Whether the children carry their
lunch to school or dash home at
noon for a hurried meal, autumn
school bells bring a major problem
to tiie menu p!ann«r. For the mid­
day repast must give plenty of nour­
ishment in a form that can be quick­
ly and easily eaten and, In the case
of
carry-awny
lunches,
easily
packed as well.
Fruit, cookies, sandwiches and
milk In some form constitute stand­
bys for box lunches as well as the
school child's home lunch. Cocoa,
creum soups, custards and simple
puddings help with the milk quota
at the home lunch. Cocoa, or a
milk shake, as well as plain milk,
can be carried
with the school
lunch in a vac­
uum bottle. For
the box lunch,
sandwiches ought
to be carefully
wrapped so that
they will be fresh
and appetizing.
Chopped meat
moistened with a little butter or
mayonnaise, hard-cooked egg deli­
cately seasoned, cream cheese, jams
and jellies, all make tempting All­
ings.
Semi-liquid foods may be put into
small glass jars with tightly Atting
covers. Supply paper cups for the
beverage; and as a novelty, put in
a paper straw, especially when you
pack chocolate malt or iced cocoa.
The saiidwiches and softer foods
should be placed on top to prevent
mashing.
Brightly colored lunch boxes are
popular, because they are not only
easier to pack, and well-ventilated,
but are attractive to carry. Literal­
ly speaking, you can pack every­
thing in them from "soup to nuts.**
The lunch boxes should be kept im­
maculately clean by careful scald­
ing each day.
You may like to use this menu
some day when you have plenty of
meat loaf left over from the Sunday
dinner:
Meat Loaf Sandwiches
Deviled F.gg
Olives,
Custard
Chocolate Milk
Or you might use a menu similar
to this for colder weather:
Cream of Tomato Soup
Peanut Butter and Orange Marma­
lade Sandwiches
Fruit Tapioca
Cookie
There is always an extra corner
into which you can tuck a surprise.
To the smaller children this will
be a delight. It may be a few nuts,
or a few pieces of good candy, or
it may be the little candy bridge
favor you received yesterday. A
packed lunch can become as tire­
some to eat as it is to pack. Even
you will be thinking of the little
surprise you can And to put into it,
and thus make this task more of a
pleasure to you.
So get a lunch box that will be
large enough to hold all the neces­
sary equipment, but will not be too
heavy to carry, and begin making
your plans for the school lunch.
Some of these suggestions may aid
you in your plans for the school
year:
Soups and Beverages.
Soups and beverages, if packed
in thermos bottles, will stay hot or
cold, as the case
p _
may
be.
The
cream soups are
k
the most nutri-
tious, for they —
contain not only
milk but vegetables as well. Try
cream of tomato, cream of pea,
cream of spinach and cream of as­
paragus.
There is quite a wide choice of
beverages. For warmer weather you
may like to give the children pine­
apple juice, grape juice, orange
juice, milk or chocolate malt. When
the weclher becomes cooler, hot
chocolate or cocoa are welcome bev­
erages.
Sandwiches.
Bread for sandwiches should be
cut in thin slices, with the butter
and Alling spread way out to the
edges. The butter is easier to spread
if creamed Arst; and the sandwiches
should be cut into convenient sizes
for eating. Vary the kinds of breads
that you use for sandwiches: plain
or white, whole wheat, rye, brown
bread, peanut butter bread, orange
Why not plan a little different
party for your friends? Have a
harvest home party, where your
gursts can gather for singing,
games, and dancing.
At the end of August, or the mid­
dle of September, many of the
countries of Europe Anished up
the harvest season with the har­
vest festival. There the workers
of the Acids feasted, danced, and
sang, as gursts of the mansion.
Wreaths, fashioned of grain, flow­
ers, nuts and corn were hung on
the walls, to remain until the fol­
lowing year.
Miss Howe will tell you about a
harvest party in her column next
week which will contain many at­
tractive suggestions.
bread, nut bread, cornbread, raisin
bread, and rolls.

these suggestions:

mayonnaise.

and celery, with salad dressing.
Orange marmalade and peanut
butter.

buy one or two or more smart skirts.

Follow this up with a wardrobe of
contrasting "tops” and you win a
clothes collection that will carry you
through with a smashing style rec­
ord as you travel in campus envi­
rons and at all the football games
you have dated in advance on your
fall program.
For that lasting "first impression"
at college you will go down in
history vain gloriously as a smart
dresser if you wear a costume as
pictured to the left in the group il­
lustrated. Evelyn Allen designs this
versatile jacket dress with a gay
check-printed velveteen top contrast­
ing a youthful flaring skirt Note the
shirred pockets and bishop sleeves.
If you take the jacket off and wear
your skirt with your new sweaters
and blouses, you will be voted
among the best dressed of all cam­
pus trotters.
Centered in the group is another
contrast-top costume by the same
designer. This softly tailored frock
of gay plaid with its interesting bell
sleeve and its contrasting skirt will
put you at the head of your class so
far as fashion is concerned, and it
will keep you there. A two-piece
frock such as this is liable to prove
the talk o' town for months to come.
Fashion is playing up with great
success the idea of the one-piece
dress that looks like a two-piece.
The smart dress to the right in the
picture is an apt demonstration. It
merited spontaneous applause re-
cently at the National Wash Apparel
style revue held in Chicago. It is
of the popular shirtwaist persuasion.
The checked blouse top, seamed to
the skirt, has a yoke front and back.
Acorn buttons are placed down the
front opening and on the pockets of
the monotone skirt. Here is an ideal
dress for go-to-school wear and it
will prove a favorite standby for in­
formal dating. You can get this
very charming dress in handsome
navy or sparkling wine.

Nice thing about this contrast-top
vogue is that it goes easy on the
clothes budget. You can collect a
whole bevy of "tops” without spend­
ing a fortune, and with judicious in­
terchanging you can dress up or
down to any occasion. One of the
neatest tricks brought out in way of
contrast tops is the new waist-depth
pinafore top that you slip jumper­
fashion over a simple blouse. It has
wide shoulder straps that are
brought down to the back where they
tie at the waist in a pert bow ex­
actly as a little girl's pinafore ties.
You can buy these little pinafore
tops made of plaid taffeta at most
stores. For the school-going girl
who must keep a date they are a
real "And." Slip it in your school­
bag or brief case so you can dash
it on in a jiffy and look dressed up
quick as a flash of lightning.
You will also be wanting one of
the new gay suede vests. With your
jacket suit they are "tops" in fash­
ion. Wear it with the new velveteen
suit, add a matching suede hat, and
it will surely make a "hit” in any
grandstand spectator group.
And here is a style hint that any
girl of fashion aspirations cannot
afford to let go unheeded. It's in
regard to the clever new blouses
that are made like shirts. They are
made of all sorts of fabrics, and are
cut like buys' and men's shirts. Gab­
ardine is the safest choice for ac­
tive sports wear, although washable
broadcloth is a close second.
You can get these shirts in wool,
tailored as manlike as your heart
desires. The idea is to choose a
wool in color to blend or match your
tweed suit, or, if you prefer, play
up a contrast You will surely be
wanting a white jersey shirt A wool
homespun also will not come amiss,
for the new homespuns are delight-
somely sheer. They are "comfy"
on very first cool days and ever so
good-looking. Sheer wool with drawn
threadwork is just beginning to be
shown in the shirt and blouse sec­
tions.

Oil on Troubled Waters
We often read that after a depth
charge has been dropped over a
submerged submarine, “a large
patch of oil covered the water.”
It is difficult to believe that oil
can exist in a continuous film on
a vast expanse of water, but few
realize how great is the clinging
power of oil. Scientists recently
discovered that one ounce of oil
can cover from eight to nine acres
of water. If allowed to spread, it
will continue in an unbroken film
until only one molecule in thick­
ness. All oil, of course, does not
spread to the same extent, some
of the “light’’ varieties covering
no more than three or four acres
to the ounce.
And now what! It's men's coats
for women. For fashion declares
that suits must take on a mannish
look and the edict has been accepted
as literally by members of the
younger smart set Debutantes and
sub-debs, college girls and career
girls are actually going into men’s
stores to purchase socks and blouse
shirts, and to look up details as to
man-tailored coats, so as to give
orders to their tailor to borrow ideas
from their brothers* and father's
tweed suits.

The fashion for gold accents on
black costumes persists. The jew­
elry wrought in gold this season
is exquisitely detailed. The empha­
sis is on good taste rather than
bizarre effects.
Novelty jewelry is fashioned of
any and every medium that hap­
pens to come to hand. Some of
the smartest jewelry items in the
novelty class have apparently "gone
nuts.” They are made of actual nuts
linked together In ingenious ways.
The now-so-popular jewelry of
carved wood tunes beautifully to
the new costumes in autumn color­
ings. Cork and felt are also new
media used in the jewelry realm.
