Those new loaves of white bread
feutured on grocery store counters
and in bakeries
everywhere these
days look just
like the loaves of
white breud you
have been buying
for years.
But
they're different— they've been "vita-
mineralized."
"How?" you ask. Through the
use of enriched flour—a wheat flour
which contains added vitamins and
minerals.
It was the Bureau of Home Eco
nomics of the United States depart
ment of agriculture which suggest
ed, when flour standards here were
under discussion, that fortified flour
should contain a specified amount
of vitamin Bl and of iron, and that
nicotinic acid, ribdflavln and calci
um should be added.
Because American dietaries laek
chiefly B-vilamlns and iron, the ac
cent was placed here. The law la
that each pound of Enriched Flour
must contain at least l.M milli
grams of thiamin (Bl); fl IS mllli-
grams of nicotinic acid (pellagra
preventing vitamin); and fl. 15 milli-
grams of Iron.

are 10 points on which to check
your meals for appetite appeal:
1. Avoid repeating the same
food in one meal.

Sandwich Loaf.
Trim crusts from a sandwich loaf
of bread and cut in four lengthwise
slices. Spread each slice with soft
ened butter. For the three different
fillings necessary, use any good
combinations of flavor and color,
such as minced ham and pickle, a
yellow cheese mixed with finely-
chopped green pepper, chives, pars
ley or watercress, and chopped to
matoes and cucumbers, or a tuna
or salmon mixture. Each of these
fillings should be mixed with may
onnaise or softened butter so that
it spreads easily. The loaf may be
made several hours ahead of time

Vegetable Jewelry

elry is quite the rage. CBS Star
Helen Wood strikes a new style note
with a necklace of corn kernels. Al
most the only item that hasn't as
yet made its appearance on milady's
neck is a string of potatoes. These
necklaces are made of various gaily
colored seeds and pods, with alter
nate brass beads and coral chips.
Best of all, they're both light on the
neck and pocketbook
that lace and pleats are continuing
to play a charming duet in the new
summer style picture.
The model to the left is a slitti
ming dress in a sheer la ce. The
bodice has a low V-neck in a flat
tering line. Shirring at the waistline
gives it easy fullness. The skirt
whittles the figure into slimness with
its stitched pleats.
Imagine this
lovely model in any color you like,
for it is available in all the newest
shades.
To the right in the picture a lace
dress for the fashionwise woman is
shown. It is a type that may be
worn to bridge parties, afternoons
at the club and so on. It is a classic
for the woman who would dress be
comingly and tastefully. The skirt
is knife pleated. The bodice is de
tailed with a grosgrain cord bow tie
at the neckline. The dress is made
of a delicate looking lace, softly fem
inine and very practical.
Centered in the picture is a jacket
dress in lace. The dress with a jack
et can be worn on formal or less
gala occasions. It is always a wel
come fashion, especially if it is lace.
This model, in a dainty flower-pat
terned lace, has a mite of a jacket
entirely scalloped with a tiny col
lar and puffed sleeves. The cun
ning jacket is wearable with other
gowns. It would be especially ef
fective worn with a black net eve
ning gown or with a flower print
that repeats the jacket color.

Paris Fashions Turn
Masculine in Style
New suits in today's Paris fash
ion parade are finished with mascu
line precision, but a saving fem
inine touch is introduced by organdy
blouses with frilled fronts and field
flower bouquets for mannish lapels.
' Closely fitted redingotes in pat
terned wools and silks, fine-striped
wools and pencil-striped dark fab
rics are among the collections. One
house features tailored silk suits in
checked surah and double-breasted
models with horizontal stripes.
Loose backs in plain and printed
crepes have full skirts shirred to hip
yokes. Some are trimmed with
linen, while others have linen bo
leros, with paillettes.
White pique trims frocks and
coats, and sailor hats.
For young girls there are checked
silk dresses to be worn with linen
redingotes and bolero suits of
checked wools embroidered with
white soutache.
Silhouettes reflect the masculine
line above the hips. Shoulders are
natural and waists slim, and slim
hips are emphasized.
Lace-Trimmed Blouses
Worn With Cotton Skirts
From all indications the cotton
evening skirt worn with a lingerie
blouse is going to be a leading sum
mer fashion. The one liked best is
the full peasant type, made of a
bizarre flower print topped with a
wispy lace-trimmed snowy white
blouse. Very attractive skirts are
being made of gay plaid ginghams,
also of colorful sheer, crinkled cot
tons. Skirts of cotton lace, with
dark jersey fitted bodices, or long-
torso middies of jersey seem to
please the smart set.
The ’teen
age also has a yen for skirts made
of flowered glazed chintz.
Lower Heels
Good news! It is interesting to
know that shoes are being built for
comfort as well as smartness. The
