EGGHTBAORDINABY!
With the passing of winter and the
arrival of spring comes the joyful
Easter season, bringing with it new
life and new hope , . . Why not ex
press these good tidings In Vie
traditional Easier Sunday break
fast?
Make your Easter breakfast the
No. 1 breakfast of the year—the
time when the whole family, and
guests, too, perhaps, gather leisurely
'round a gaily decorated table laden
with their favorite early • mom
dishes.
Let color-splashed eggs be the
centerpiece. You can use those that
the children have
"discovered" in
their traditional
pre-breakfast egg
hunt
Pile them high
In the center of a

Easter basket.
Then, to complete
the scheme, mark each person’s
plsce at the table with an egg cari
cature—Uncl* Sam, an Indian Chief.
Mr. Rabbit or even a pert young
lady.
"While they're still "oh-lng" and
"ah-lng,” serve "egg* in nests"—
just to keep the theme in mind. To
complete your menu, you’ll of course
want glasses of cold fruit Juice, crisp
bam slice* or bacon curl* and

granted that you'll make plenty of
hot coffee. They couldn't ask for
more!

Tufted Cover for
Old Rocking Chair
By RUTH WYETH SHEARS
I~)O YOU remember how old-
fashioned comforters us» d to
be tufted? They were made of
two layers of fabric with cotton
between and every four inches
or so in rows the three layers of
material were caught together
with a stitch of wool yarn double
which was then tied twice and
clipped to make a fluffy tuft. Well,
that is exactly the way many of
today’s smartest chair covers are
made. A cover of thia sort re
deemed this old rocker and re
vealed its hidden charms.
The cover is plain, medium
green glazed chintz tufted with
dark green yarn and three inch
dark green fringe is used around
the bottom. A long zipper makes
a center back closing. Each sec
tion of the cover was fitted on the
chair in the muslin lining first
and these pieces were used as
patterns for cutting the chintz,
also the cotton which was trimmed
to be %-inch smaller all around.
After the pieces were tufted, as
shown at the upper right, the
seams were stitched up. Long
stitches were then made on the in
side to catch the edges of the cot
ton in place.

YRIADS of provocative little
"top” spring
this season.
Why not climax your Easter cos
tume with a gay flower chapeau?
You’ll not only be "right in fash-
ion," but you will be joyously "in
tune" with spring.
This is a season which calls for
"prettiness." No matter how simple
the frock, the suit or the ensemble,
you should give it lovely-lady air*
by enchanting accessory details—
flowers, perfume*, veils, decorative
handkerchiefs, frothy fragile neck
wear, an intriguing handbag or col
orful glove*.
Flower hats this spring are as
bewildering in type, color and de
sign as a garden of flowers. Some
of the floral headpieces seem not
much more than a cluster of posies
anchored to the head by a labyrinth
of ribbons and bandeau devices.
They finish off with a cloud of misty,
colorful veiling arranged smartly.
While flowers of every variety are
in fashion, there is particular em
phasis on roses. You will see roses
on hats, on bodices, on handbags,
on sheer party dresses, and even
under the wide brim of felt hats.

Silk. Rayon Printed Suits
Taking Fashion by Storm
with exactly the fine nicety and sim
plicity one expects of wool suits.
The long-jacket suit with an all
round pleated skirt is a favorite.
Th-’ jacket has revers and a one-
button or two-button fastening.
You will find in the stores stun
ning redingote styles as well, tai
lored like cloth, fitted meticulously
as your long topcoat, the dress un
derneath styled in a fetching one-
piece manner. These new print tail-
leurs are starting a vogue that is
taking the fashion world by storm.
Tiers, Ruffles, Peplums
Add to New Silhouettes
The newest silhouettes call for
tiers, ruffles and peplums. And the
real news about these styling de
tails is that designers are handling
them so adroitly that they in no way
destroy the straight slim lines that
fashion demands this season.
Very good looking are the new
dressmaker coats, cut on princess
lines to above the knee, at which
point a wide pleated flounce car-
ries on to the hemline.
Prints and Plain
A new and very helpful aid in se-
lecting prints and plains to "go to-
gether” is the manner in which ma
terials are being displayed this sea
son in the stores. It is the custom
this season to show a print and the
plain material all side by side in
colors that correlate perfectly.
Flower Bracelets
The newest fashion wrinkle is to
wear a flower or boutonniere at-
tached to a ribbon bracelet, the cuff
of your glove, or the edge of the
sleeve at the wrist. Of course the
flower should match the flower trim
ming on your hat
Designers Defy Raids
In London, dressmakers keep on
dishing out their normal supply
of work, in spite of air raids. Clothes
are made on a sort of ambulating
schedule, workers shifting from the
basement shelters to the upstairs
workrooms and back again.
