DO have a well-balanced menu.

DO choose foods that won't

DO have committee* who are
responsible for collecting the lin

the table, preparing the different
parts of the menu and waiting
on the table.
DON'T forget to appoint a
clean up squad.
DON'T attempt to increase an

I no this will surprise you more
than anything tho mom when I tell
you I am a Grade A dishwasher.
They call this kitchen police detail
but I do not know where the police
part comes in as I never seen no
cop doing dishes but they tell me
in the army that they call any dirty
work police work. Well anyhow I
put in a hole day washing dishes
■nd if you ever ask me to help
with the pots and pans hereafter and
I refews 1 will apolergize becuz it
will be a picknick compared to what
washing dishes is up here. You don't
wash a plate at a time. You wash
'em in bunches and you have to be
a combernashun Japanese jugler,
kitchen canary and all around mop-

that if I had a race with a electric
dish washing machine it would take
a photo to pick the winner.

Is a big disserpointment as I would
like to bust more than I do but the
crockkcry they use in the army is
more like cement lawn furniture.
You can drop a coffee cup on the
floor and it will bounce rite back
and hit you on the jaw. I dropped
a saucer yesterday and It made a
hole in the floor big enough for two
men to go threw.
I never new
there was so many dishes in the
army and believe me I never seen
no physical training that hardens
muscles like just lifting army china.
I know a private who dislocated two
ribs lifting a saucer. The sergeant
says the dishes are just for eating
but he can't fool me. If war comes
they will be used for throwing.

Pleats, Longer Jackets

spring suits for 1941. Fashion has
determined that m'lady will wear
pleats in the suit skirt—knife, box or
twin box pleats in back or front, but
plain at the side. The fashionable
length for jackets is 24 inches or
wrist length. Other details to keep
in mind if buying or making a suit
are single link closing, neatly
squared shoulders padded flush with
the arm, and hip flap pockets.
Take your pick of the so-called
"open shirt" revers, or the elongat-1
ed type that creates the impression
of a longer waist The fancy femi
nine suit has a shorter jacket with
a definitely nipped-in waist and easy
fullness in the skirt. Knife pleating,
grouped pleats, new soft yokes, dou
ble flap pockets and chunky gold
buttons are characteristics.

the joy of the little girl seated in
the picture. In size four, this little
dress costs but a few cents over a
dollar to make, including organdy
frills, tiny pearl buttons, pattern and
thread. The same pattern in ging
ham makes a cunning play frock.
A most commendable thing about
the frilled organdy panel that adds
such a dainty touch to this gown is
that it is made detachable so that
the frills may be laundered sepa
rately. One of the delight* of prin
ces* frock* is that they also are easy
to launder. No gathers, no pleat*!
Be sure you use boilfast thread when
you are sewing, so that It won’t run
or fade. Also, if you want to leave
an extra two inches in the hem to
take care of rapidly growing legs,
boilfast thread will leave no mark
when the hems are changed.
The pinafore with its apron and
bib, so charming for little girls, ha*
been revived, and a very sensible
fashion it is.
A change-about of
guimpe* and skirt* is a flexible
wardrobe note to be remembered
when active playtime makes many
changes necessary. You can often
use last year’s outgrown dresses to
make the apron and pinafore bib.
Use the extra fabric of the sleeves
for little ruffles over the shoulders
or for a big pocket on the skirt to
hold a favorite toy.
A good time to teach youngsters
to sew is when you are making their
clothes. With a little supervision,
leftover pieces of material can be
fashioned into doll clothes just like
mother’s. You can’t start them too
young, and doll clothes aae by far
the happiest medium of approach.
Chenille Dots in Veils
Latest Addition to Hats
Ask at the veiling counter to see
the new confetti veils. Chenille dots
that look like huge snowflakes are
closely scattered all over the fragile
backgrounds. Cover your hat with
this veil in billowy masses and you
will achieve a true "spring" look.
All veils have a most fetching
way about them this season. Their
sole mission is to flatter and to lend
allure. Little flower hats have as
their main keynote whimsical color
ful veils. Wide brims are also flat
teringly veiled this season.
Lace Redingotes
