In a recent poll, 37 per cent of the
thousands of homemakers receiving
questionnaires expressed ■ desire to
be experts at snlad making ... 43
per cent wanted to know how to
make food look glamorous.
This report gave me an idea,
Salads, besides bring healthful
and givers of viiu, vigor and vital-
Ity, offer a splen
did
opportunity
for variety . . .
they can be used
as the appetizer
or "starter''
course, the main
dish, a dessert,
or they may accompany the dinner
course.
So. besides giving you timely tips
on the art of salad making, I'm go
ing to explain literally dozens of
ways In which you creators of dally
menus can give "oomph” to your
tasty dishes.
• • •
The charactc^stlcs of a good salad
are simple and fairly easy to accom
plish; namely, it should be well
chilled before serving; have an at
tractive arrangement, and a pleas
ing color combination.
Salads In summer are as impor
tant as swimming or tennis or golf.
They give an opportunity to add
color and gaiety to the table.
Your choice of ingredients will de
pend upon what you have planned
for your main course and dessert,
provided your salad is to be a side
dish or an appetizer.
There are many varieties of fruit
snlad«. They are excellent by them
selves or as an accompaniment to a
mnin course of sea food or meat and
a pastry or cake dessert
Good to eat, wonderful to look at
and substantial Is this salad of or-
ange slices and prunes, stuffed with
cottage cheese, (See picture at top

12 orange slices

in thin, even slices. California or
anges, which are flrm-meated and
pructically seedless, arc excellent to
use.
Serve with a sweet french dress
ing, made with lemon juice. With
a hot bread and beverage, this salad
makes a well-balanced home or
party luncheon.

Keeping cool during summer
months is a problem, solved most
successfully by eating properly.
LYNN KAYS:
Don't be timed about putting
your own personality into your

tion« which may help you become
famous for your salads . . .
Try:
Fluting bananns by running the
prongs of a fork lengthwise down
a peeled banana, then slicing it
crosswise.
Adding chopped, broken or
whole walnut kernels to fruit,
vegetable and meat salads.
Using fruit juices to thin may
onnaise and to mix with french

Brightening the edges of lettuce
leaves by dipping them in pap
rika, or adding chopped parsley

Isle of Martinique
evident that women are
1 becoming increasingly impressed
with the value of swimming for
health and beauty. Not only do
crowded beaches at seaside and
lake resorts testify to the enthusi
asm felt for water sports, but many
inland towns have created attrac-
i tlve and pretentious modern swim
ming pools that offer infinite enjoy
ment to their communities. Then,
too, most private estates have pic
turesque swimming pools where
guests may indulge in water sports.
Which all goes to show why smart
bathing suits together with a goodly
I supply of beach togs and accesso
ries have become a positive "must''
in the plans for the summer vaca
tion. As to this season's swim-suit
fashions, they surpass al) that has
| gone before in way of smart, ver
satile fabric, clever styling, eye-ap
peal in color and all the dramatic
accents that add to the picture of
Mias America as she takes off for
a merry swim on a summer day.
Outstanding news in regard to
' current swim-suit trends is the
strong revival of woolknits and wool
knit fabric for both sculptured form
fitting types and that which is ultra
1 chic this season—the suit that is
' cunningly dressmaker styled. New
to the scene this summer is the jac
quard woolknit suit such ds is shown
to the left in the illustration. Note
the sleek front-paneled skirt in shad
ow plaid of brown and green on yel
low. The back is cut very low for
sun-tanning.
Bright red and white diagonal
striped woolknit fabric makes the
smart slenderizing princess (a favor
ite styling this season) bathing suit
pictured to the right. The V-neckline
Is banded in the solid red knit, con
tinued into cross straps at the back.
Panties are separate so there is
nothing to break the flattering
smooth line of the suit
Machine woolknits that look like
bandknits are also staging a big
comeback in simple sculptured types
such as adept swimmers love to
wear. You will find handknit tech
nique of heavy cable stitch in stun
ning colors, the stripe effects such
as white with red or with navy be
ing especially intriguing.
There is also a strong revival of
wool jersey. These stress dress
maker styling which now is so pro
nounced throughout the entire swim
suit program. Most of the jersey
suits have practical zipper fasten
ings.
Designers are turning out perfect
ly charming suits dressmaker-fash
ioned after the manner of the Bal-
lerina type of waffle pique centered
in the group. Note the coin dot
banding. Dot trimmings are very
smart this season.
Floral prints and various cotton
weaves make front page fabric news
for swim suits and beach togs. The
more audacious the coloring, the
more daring the patterning, the
smarter! This is especially true of
the gay and fascinating Hawaiian
prints now so fashionable. The sa
rong drape skirt in exotic prints
Aith bra top showing bare midriff is
a leading style. Novelty types are
often styled with "grass skirts'* in
spired by Hawaiian native design.
A lei necklace of flowers added, ia
the final glamour accent.
Bathing suits of elasticised fabric
are to be had by the score. The
newest thing in these types is two-
color effects done in white with
bright colored godets or inset verti
cal bands. Allover shirred lastique
insures a sculptural figure fit. Bright
applique of gorgeous flowers on
white jersey is especially effective
with a long matching beach cape.
There are endless cunning dress
maker-styled gingham shantung and
crinkled seersucker suits. In knits
and lastiques girls love the suit that
zips up the back from the waistlin«
to give a perfect fit.
