LET'S HAVE AN ICE CREAM SOCIAL!

ICE CREAM 'N CAKE
THIS WEEK'S MENU
Shining In their starched dresses,

everyone's
waiting for re­
freshment time
to come. Of
course,
It's an
ice cream social,
that typically
American
festi­
ve I to which
homemakers
bring their most
delectable cakes and choicest ice
cream. There, too, you'll find lem­
onade, "made in the shade by the
old maid."
There was a time when an Ice
cream social, though as pleasant an
affair as you'd find on the summer
calendar, carried With it a great
deal of careful preparation. Ice
cream had to be kept In heavy con­
tainers which In turn were wrapped
in blankets, and If the speeches and
program lasted too long it was
apt to be more melted than icy
when you were finally served, But
no longer do you have such a risk.
The ice cream can be stored In your
refrigerator, and kept really hard.
Muklng Ice cream with the freez­
er method is fun. and usually the
whole family gets together to do
some of the cranking The freezer
has a wooden or metal bucket hold­
ing the ice and salt and a non-
rusting metal container with a close­
ly fitting cover for holding the mix­
ture to be frozen. The mixture is
Stirred by a paddle attached to the
crank which is operated by hand,
•nd sometimes by a small electric
motor.
Use three parts of ice to one part
of salt. Turn the crank slowly at
first for about five minutes or until
the mixture stiffens, then as quickly
as possible until It Is difficult to
turn This takes about six minutes.
Add more Ice and salt If necessary.
Pour off salt water, push down ice
■nd salt being careful to get none In
the can of ice cream.
Wipe top of can, uncover, take out
the paddle, and beat the frozen
mixture with a wooden spoon Cover
can with wax paper, and pack
again. Let stand several hours to
ripen.
If you would be famous for your
ice creams and have them spoken
of well at the social, follow direc­
tions to get the desirable smooth,
creamy triumphs. Ice cream free
from crystals and splinters will get
first prize every time.
•Vanilla Ice Cream.
(Makes 1 ¥« quarts)
1W cups sweetened condensed
milk (15-oz. can)
2 cups thin cream
1 cup cold water
1 tablespoon vanilla
Blend thoroughly the sweetened
condensed milk, thin cream, cold
I.YNN HAYS:
Did you know that:
Ice creams should stand sev­
eral hours to blend or ripen the
many flavors combined in them?
Each flavor will stand out sepa­
rately if the mixture is not prop­
erly ripened.
Texture is affected by the
method of freezing? Ice cream
will be coarse nnd rough if frozen
too quickly, whereas slower
freezing improves texture. Be­
fore putting the cream in the
freezer it should be properly
whipped or It will be icy.
Richer mixtures give smoother
textured
ice
creams?
The
amount of fat in the cream also
affects the flavor. Richer ice
creams have full bodied flavor.
Ice cream expands? If the ice
cream is well made, it expands
to at least one-third more than
Its original size, and that this
has an important bearing on fla­
vor. If frozen too rapidly, ice
cream is prevented from increas­
ing size.
Flavors should be lightly sug­
gested, not pronounced? Amount
and quality of extracts used are
very apparent In the finished
product.

Pack In ice and salt for one hour
or more after freezing.
For Banana Ice Cream, use the
above recipe, except to substitute 1
teaspoon of lemon extract in place
of vanilla. Mash three bananas to a
smooth pulp with a silver fork and
add to Ice cream after removing

Coffee Ice Cream: Proceed as for
Vanilla Ice Cream, using 1 cup of
cold black coffee in place of 1 cup

place of 1 tablespoon of vanilla.
Muple Nut Ice Crearn: One of the
most requested flavors, made Just
like the vanilla except mapellne fla­

If you like chocolate flavoring,
here's a recipe I'm sure will please
you. Rich and creamy, full of sat­
isfying chocolate flavoring, it's one
kind of ice cream of which there
can never be too much made.
•Chocolate Ice Cream.

'T' HE vogue for slacks
and shorts outfits
has developed into one
of the most significant,
outstanding move­
ments in the field of
modern costume de­
sign. Beginning some
few seasons ago as a mere experi­
ment, the new mode of costume to­
day flings a challenge to designers
to give their best to a movement
that is advancing in leaps and
bounds to unqualified acceptance
by women everywhere, women who
recognize the chic, the comfort and
the ease that slack costumes offer.
A few seasons ago the wearing of
slacks was restricted to certain
time, Ylace and occasion and if you
ventured beyond a prescribed pro­
gram you were made to feel con­
spicuous.
Nowadays slacks cos­
tumes are so generally worn, noth­
ing less than a whole wardrobe of
slacks is required in order to keep
up with the social and fashion de­
mands of the times.
Impetus has also been given to the
slacks costume movement owing
to the spreading of interest in civil­
ian defense works sHiich is creating
a new and most exciting demand
for slack outfits, because of the need
of
durable
workaday
clothes.
Among college girls who are taking
courses in “emergency mechanics,”
there is a call for trouser costumes
and coveralls made of denim, gab­
ardine and other sturdy materials
that will be increased as the fall
school terms begin.
However, the workaday idea is
but a single phase and a very recent
development of the slacks-trousers
costume theme, and there will be
much to say later in this regard.
Just now a most fascinating story is
being unfolded at vacation resorts
and amid home environs, a story so

Combined Straw
Straw left on the field by the com­

summer for. a fall-seeded crop may
have detrimental effects, says W. A.
Albrecht of the University of Mis­
souri college of agriculture. Straw
going back into the soil directly will
frequently be injurious to the next
crop instead of beneficial.
The
cases of dangerous effects from
straw turned under will increase as
the number of combines employed
on farms becomes greater.

Quills and Feathers
To Feature Fall Hats
There is much novelty in the new
hat arrivals. The tendency is to
manipulate fabrics in intriguing and
original ways. Among the fabrics
used often is jersey, with an an­
gora finish and milliners are creat­
ing draped turbans and toques of
long scarf effects in lacy feather­
weight woolknit manufactured espe­
cially for millinery purposes. These
scarfed novelties will also be worked
into snoods and apron drapes at
the back of hats.
Look for quills and feathers ga­
lore, for they are "on the way.” Not
one quill but several, will appear
dramatically posed on a beret or
turban or novelty shape. Feather-
adorned felt hats will be very popu­
lar this fall.
Bretons still maintain as a favor­
ite type in the simpler and wider-
brim felts. Sometimes these will
have a crochet edge instead of a rib­
bon binding.
Milk, Natural Greens
Bolster Egg Yield
If hot summer weather has
caused your birds' appetites to
wane, revive them with green
feed and milk. L. M. Black, ex­
tension poultryman at the New
Jersey college of agriculture,
Rutgers university, advises flock
owners.
"Toward the end of the pro­
duction year, layers often begin
to lose interest in the standard
rations,” Black says. "Hot weath­
er also tends to reduce feed con­
sumption and lowered egg yields
often result. To counteract these
effects, wise poultrymen feed sup­
plementary materials to whet
their birds' appetites, bolster de­
pleted stores of vitamins and pro­
vide protein to stimulate egg pro­
duction.
"Natural green material is gen­
erally plentiful during summer
and proves a welcome addition to
the laying ration. Fresh lawn
clippings, swiss chard, cabbage,
lettuce and many other garden
vegetables—even many varieties
of weeds—are excellent.
thrilling in interest and so wide in
scope it carries through from sun­
up to sun-up all through the 24
hours of a calendar day and night
And so, while the vacation spirit
is going strong throughout the na­
tion, fancy turns to cool sleek
streamline types such as the trim
suit pictured to the right. Tailored
with precision and cut to give the
style-correct streamline silhouette,
this is a type that makes instant
appeal to best-d; eased women.
Over this smart outfit the wearer
tosses one of those short wool jack­
ets, the rage at resorts this sum­

In the same category as this
"classy” slacks suit are the ex­
quisitely tailored jacket and slacks
suits. Fashioned of gabardine for
the most part in fetching pastel
greens, violet shades, soft blues and
dusky pinks. There is a nicety and
finesse about these suits that indi­
cate genuine refinement and appeal­
ing femininity. See the pert little

the call of both chic and comfort.

Belts Cleverly Handled
Reduce Waistline Span
Soon the time will come when
college and back-to-school ward­
robes will be the paramount theme
in every household where school­
faring daughters live. Why not look
ahead and, in idle vacation days,
make up a simple basic wool dress
and brief jacket which will serve
as a suit for a "starter" on the fall
clothes program. The costume pic­
tured will prove ideal as a many­
purpose outfit.
Button-on vestee is in crisp white
pique and really very easy to copy.
Bright metal buttons make a smart
trim for the dress when the vestee
is removed. To give your costume
a Anal fillip, knit a smart turban
in white sports yarn.
In the march toward smooth sil­
houettes designers are manipulating
belts in subtle ways. The latest
move is to inset the belt in a svelte
graceful midriff treatments. When
shopping for the new gown take note
of this, for it is surprising how this
technique takes away inches from
the waistline span.
Braided Effects
Much
braiding
is
appearing
throughout late summer fashions.
It is said this matter of using braid­
ed trimmings will be accentuated
throughout fall fashions. An inter­
esting reaction to the call for braid­
ed effects will be hats with braid­
work on off-face brims that corre­
sponds with braiding on jacket or
frock.
