more than ration-
in g a n d f o o d
shortages to do
that.
Indeed, if
you don’t breathe
a word about how
difficult it was to
get it together, your friends will
think you are giving them a glimpse
of prewar entertaining.
You can stretch the precious meat
with a supporting cast of vegetables.
If you're serving nonrationed eggs,
gild them with a bit of cheese and
no one will dream that you had to
do some fancy extending.
What about sugar? Well, there
are syrups, point-free prepared pud
dings and molasses. No, there need
be no difficulties; dress up your
dishes and carry on.
Entertaining is fun, but that
means fun not only for the guqkts
but for the hostess. It's all up to
you whether the party’s going to be
pleasant for you or not. Gather your
point-easy recipes, plan accordingly
and I'm sure it will all come out
all right.
Let’s pretend your guests are
coming in for an evening of conver
sation and a bit of food later on.
You'll want a good beverage or cool
drink and with that an unusual cake.
Here is one made to order for the
occasion:

NEW fashion
* * in prints came
in to b e in g th is
spring. It's really
a new branch on the family tree of
mother - and ■ daughter or big * and*
little sister fashions. The idea is, the
print design produced for mother or
big sister is reproduced in minia
ture to tune to little daughter or
little sister age.
This print innovation Is so very
new, so gay and so obvious the
wonder is that no one thought of it
before. The theme of big-'n-little
prints is developing into much more
than a mom and chile proposition in
that it is making a tremendous hit
for adult play clothes and daytime
dresses. The idea of a large print
plus a print scaled down to right
proportion for children offers end
less possibilities to creative genius.
The fashion-wise girl with imagi
nation will use the small print for
her dress, making the most stun
ning accessories out of the big print
that fancy can picture. She ll try a
blouse in little and a skirt in big
print.
When mother turns out a frock
for herself and a miniature dupli
cate for her child, she will do well
to make them of the big and little
doughnut print trimmed with gay
ric-rac braid as shown in the fore
ground of the illustration.
The patternings of these new re
lated prints are as gay and out of
the beaten path as the big-and-
little idea itself. The doughnut print
is a favorite, and a bright-hued
Dutch tile motif in the two sizes is
charming, as is also the floral that
patterns calico daisies in two sizes.
Speaking of prints in general,
the story they have to tell this sea
son is as exciting as it esn be. The
entire fashion world is intrigued with
the

It a ball of yarn, a safety pin or a i
prancing horse that goes through all
its antics in print on s colorful back
ground handling the patterning so
designfully snd artfully ft turns out
to be a work of art that delights
the eye.
When it comes to the new florals,
the story of prints deals with the
theme in breathtaking new slants.
There is, for instance, a superb print
shown which splashes large white
flowers with green leaves widely
spaced on a navy blue satin back
ground.

Coming trends in prints herald

widely spaced. Satin prints with
widely spaced motifs are last word
news.
There are many styling details
that make as big news as the prints
themselves. One of the late features
is the side drape and side-fasten
