‘‘Come upstairs and let m«

daughter for a tea at grandmoth­

“I don’t want to go up,” wailed
Winnie, aged four.
‘‘Let her wash them in the kitch­

"She
can do it there just as well, I am
sure.”
“No,” her mother said, firmly.
“I insist that she come up with

Winnie went upstairs slowly.
Turning to her mother, she asked:

Here’s a parade of palate-thrilling
recipes with which you can sprint
right along even with the slimmest

To stretch that food dollar, you
can use leftover meats and vegeta­
bles that are called for in these
casseroles. Yes, and what's espe­
cially nice about them is that
they're tops in vitamins and min­
erals because they’re fortified with
those perfect foods, milk and butter.
As you're pouring out the milk from
the bottle, remember It’s just brim­
ming and bursting with health-giv­
ing qualities.
Here's a meal-ln-a dlsh which has
a luscious butter and bread crumb

dom of movement. They must be
easy to take off and on, with straps
caught at the back so that overalls
will not slip off at the shoulders,
with snap fasteners at the ankles
for comfort and protection.
Corduroy mix-mates give oppor­
tunity for bright color, style and
service and all in one. They meet
the farm girl’s needs to perfection,
and they are equally as useful and
smart in the factory. Not only is
the never-wear-out quality of cordu­
roy a convincing argument in its
favor, but corduroy has that some­
thing attractive about it that meas­
ures up to any wear required of it
from work to play. It goes about
town or trudges along country roads
with equal adaptability.
The attractiveness of corduroy is
shown in the illustration above by
the culotte ensemble centered in
the group. In this instance, a bright
plaid cotton shirt is teamed with a
corduroy culotte and vest. Cordu­
roy shoes and cotton stockings com­
plete a perfect outfit for all sorts of
active wear. In this smart, good­
looking ensemble one can confident­
ly go about town on a shopping tour,
feeling suitably dressed for the oc­
casion.
Mixmate this vest of corduroy
with slacks, shown to the right in the
picture above, and you have a suit
that gives the answer to a gay young
farmerette as to "what to wear”
about home during busy hours.
Wear a corduroy beret with this suit
if you must go into town on an er­
rand, or whatever the call of duty
may happen to be.

Dutch Bonnets and Hoods
flare Peasant Embroidery
A charming new fashion that is
going the rounds this winter, to the
delight of high school and college
girls, is that of cunning little hoods
or bonnets cut in the manner of
Dutch bonnets or baby caps and
made of bright felt Or, if you pre­
fer, they can be gaily crocheted.
These are adorned with appliques of
felt flowers in peasant colorings or
trimmed in crocheted flowers. They
tie under the chin, and they lend a
most attractive dash of color to a
wintry landscape. They're perfect
with skating outfits, or to wear to
and from dances, or to school.
Here's the Latest Style:
Dresses If ith Apron Front
Here's the latest bit of fashion
gossip. It's all about the dresses
with cleverly designed apron fronts.
This new fashion calls for a pencil-
slim skirt, at the front of which
there is a tie-on apron effect. Some­
times it is achieved with a cascade
drape of material. Again it is a
pleated tie-on that makes the apron.
However, the cleverest of all, be­
cause it introduces the right print
accent, is the applique of cut out
floral prints. The effect is just about
as charming as fancy can picture,
especially if a corresponding touch
of the print appears on the sleeves.

Evening Capes Sparkle
With Beads and Sequins
Just as new as the coming New
Year are the new evening capes,
some long and some short, that
are made of bright colored woolens
handsomely and elaborately em­
broidered with sparkling stones or
sequins or vivid yarns. A favorite
color for these gay little capes is
magenta. Jet beading on black or
white wool also ranks high in chic.
The question arises, what is a
long war? A long war is regarded
as spanning a decade or more. Il
this war lasts 10 years, it will be
the longest war in the past three
centuries. The Thirty Years’ war
lasted from 1618 to 1648. Several
Greek and Roman wars extended
well over 20 years, and the Hun­
dred Years’ war, between Franca
and England, lasted from 1337 to
1453.
Wars in which America has en­
gaged since it became a nation
have lasted, on an average, less
than four years, although the Rev­
olution officially lasted eight
years.
