Once upon • time ■ friend told
me that to her the addition of “one
eup ut imagina­
tion'* wai the
moat important
Ingredient that
could be used In
any recipe. So
whole heartedly
do I agree with
her that today 1
want to give you
a number of recipea to which that
ingredient, imagination, haa been
added. In fact, go successfully haa
thia been done that each of these
recipes is different, yet each la de­
licious — each fairly shouts “Try
me I”
These recipes, moreover, have
been chosen as luncheon favorites
because, of all of the meals of the
day, the family luncheon some way
seems to be most neglected.
Take the baked apricot and tapi­
oca pudding for example; have you
ever before thought of serving a cof­
fee sauce with such a pudding? Yet
the blend of flavors which results
from combining this particular pud­
ding with this particular sauce is
really delicious—long to be remem­
bered.

Dear Mom:
The cake and things you sent ar­
rived okay only I did not get none
on account of my buddies opened
them. The trouble with the army is
that you can't keep a separate mail­
ing address. Well, everything is go­
ing along good and life in the army
ain’t so bad once you make up your
mind it can't be any too good.
We have movies here but no
scrccno, so you would not like army
life, mom. We have hostesses here,
too. I thought a hostess was some­
body you found in airplanes, but tn
the camps a hostess is a lady who
has charge of the
entertainment
side of life and I
think we may
even get rumba
lessons in this
war. There are
quite a few host­
esses here, but do
not worry about me. Mom, as they
are all pretty old, some even as old
as 38 and 40 I don't know who is
picking them, but it ain’t Billy Rose.
At first I thought the Camp Fire
Giris were being drafted, too, but 1
found out the government wants the
soldiers to have as much amuse­
ment as they can get in the next
including double features,
war,
swing music and Mickey Mouse,
They even have cafeteria lunch-
rooms for visitors so if an outsider
gets poisoned they can't blame it
on the regular army cook.
More rifles are arriving and I
guess maybe by the time war comes
almost every soldier will have a
gun.
Do not keep sending me heavy
underwear as you have my tent full
of it already.
Love.
Oscar.
Dear Mom:
I am getting so I do not mind be­
ing here at al) and my morale would
be good except I didn't keep getting
newspapers and reading the news
from Washington. I have got around
to the point where I am used to tak­
ing orders and to facing a war if
there is no way out, but what is a!)
thia stuff about going to the aid of
China. Greece and all nations ev­
erywhere?
>
In one breath I am told I will
not be sent out of the United States
and in the next I
hear all countries
in trouble any­
where can depend
on help from me,
and if all this is
so, I keep asking
myself why I did­
n’t join the navy
to see the world, which I may have
to see anyhow.
What is all this lease-iend stuff.
and do I go with the lease? Also
could you send me some newspaper
article explaining what is being
tended. I hope no tanks are being
lended as we are still using ice wag­
ons here. If we must lend some­
thing let us lend first sergeants as
there are too many of 'em around
this camp.
The food here could be better. I
haven't had a good juicy steak yet.
Are they lending them to somebody,
too?
Well, do net worry, as I am get­
i
ting used to everything and am very
happy today because I learned Otto
Bixby, who was my boss at the
store, has been drafted, too. and will
be here, too, any day now.
Love.
Oscar.

Dear Mom:
Bixby, my old boss (who was such
n stinker), just arrived and is in
my company. I
am going to work
hard now to be a
sergeant, or at
least a corporal.
I
will
write
more later.
Love,
Oscar.

N THE springtime fancy turns ea­
gerly to "what's new” in silk
prints. This season the story is
more fascinating than ever with
tales of daring new colors and de­
signs that are writing romance and
drama in every chapter.
There'a a mad rush for red. a
play-up of fruit motifs in realistic
colorings on white background, a
new array of shantung silks, either
monotone or printed; a repeat on
polka dots with special emphasis on
twin prints; and a predominance ot
patriotic colors. You’ll see a rec­
ord-breaking number of prints that
key beige and brown to tangerine,
bittersweet and kindred colors, a
strong ‘accent on bizarre South
American colors, especially purples
and reds and Peruvian pink, a hand­
paint technique used for flowery par­
ty-dress prints—and here we "pause
for identification" of some of the
newest print fashions as shown in
the illustration herewith.
A sure way of being fashion-right
in selecting the new print frock for
spring is to think in terms of silk
shantung, which is exactly what the
designer did in creating the neat and
attractive dress to the right in the
picture. Styled the South American
way with its bolero silhouette and
general detail, this printed plaid
silk shantung dress is the very em­
bodiment of style at a new high.
One of the delights of shantung is
the lovely paste! monotones that are
favorites for dresses and suits, tai­
lored to a nicety for both sports and
daytime wear. The dress to the left
in the group is made of a pastel
blue shantung with gay dotted shan­
tung for the turban and bag. If you
look close, you will see the tip edge
of a matching polka dot parasol. The
dress under a monotone wool coat

makes a perfect greeting for spring.
You'll be carrying the smart para­
sol ever so pridefully when sum­
mer comes.
Navy prints with navy wool top­
coats or long dramatic capes are
"tops” in fashion. Stylish accesso­
ries are a hat and bag of plaid silk
tn colors as mad and merry as you
please. You can either make, (pat­
terns are easily available) or buy
ready made, these enlivening two­
somes.
Two designers are sounding the
patriotic note by introducing wide
bands of red and white crepe silk
in the lining. You can do the same
thing with the vivid South American
colors—introduce them in linings, or
in the yoke of the dress.
Look about in the silk displays
and you will be impressed with the
number of prints that couple pink
with black or with navy. These
pretty ladylike prints invite gracious
styling, such as has been given to
the gown centered in the group pic­
tured. This dainty frock is made on
slim lines with novel petal pockets
made of self-print There is increas­
ing interest shown in pockets
throughout current costume design.
They contribute great charm to sim­
ple print daytime dresses. The pink
hat worn with the frock pictured
complements the dress. It has a
crochet bumper edge — crochet
touches are ever so chic—and what
is most apropos is that this hat
sports a knitting needle trim. Wear
pink or black suede gloves with this
outfit for proper accent

Cape'. Suit Ensembles
In Spring Collections
Considerable emphasis is being
placed on cape costumes in the ad­
vance spring showings. The cape
formula is being worked out in ways
most fascinating. For example, a
charming costume turned out by a
noted designer plays up bright and
neutral colors in the latest approved
manner. The suit of soft gray wool
consists of an all-round box-pleated
skirt with a dressmaker-styled jack­
et that is hiplength and has two huge
patch pockets. Now comes the stun­
ning cape that tops this neat suit!
It is full length, made of red herring­
bone weave, lined with lime green
silk.
A good rule to follow might be "a
cape with every costume" so popu­
lar is the cape idea growing. One
of the newest outcomes of the cape
vogue is that many of the early
spring print silk frocks are worn
with long cloth capes lined with
the identical silk of the dress.

Statistics show that there is an
Increase in yardage sales owing to
the fact that a growing number of
women are taking up home sewing.
This, they say, may be largely at­
tributed to the fact that almost ev­
ery community nowadays has a
sewing center where one can learn
at little or no expense the short-cuts
and tricks of the trade. The dress
pictured can be made up easily and
at minimum cost
The material
need not be expensive. Why not
learn to make your own clothes?
Some of the rayoh mixtures in
pastel colors would be practical for
a beginner to start with, and the
new jabardines are lovely and wear­
able. The pattern for this dress calls
for soft gathered detail and in a type
that can be easily made at home.

Modern Handbags Gain
Slick Smooth Efficiency
What handbags have lost in the
absence of French models, (which
formerly inspired 90 per cent of our
handbag styles) they are gaining in
improved construction, better ma­
terials. and interesting tricks which
make them newly efficient. One
trick Is a slot which feeds a nickle
outside the bag. Another is a key
clip on a light for inside the hand­
bag—so that keys may be located
Instantly. Another is the gluv-gard.
which anchors one’s gloves to one's
handbag.
Handbag interiors are gaining a
great deal of attention. More and
better planned pockets are the rule.
And one important new detail in
interiors is a special pocket zipper.
When you slide your hand into a
pocket protected by this fastener,
there are no rough teeth to get past
—the zipper is kind to nail polish. It
slides like a streak and adds orna­
mentation, as well as safety to
American-made handbag interiors.
