The first tiling is to plan your menus so there are no long cooking Ideas in them. Make a point of not selecting anything that will require more than 30 minutes cook ing. Tho second is to do most of your work In the cool of the morning, so that you won't be spending too much time right at supper time when it is so warm. The third is to plan all-cool meals and get the preparation out of the way before hot weather really hits you. There are a number of cool Ideas such as meat or meat-fortified salads that can be whipped together early and stored until supper time. Do this once or twice a week and see how nicely it works. Here are several Ideas that won't require much actual cooking prepa ration. Use them often for variety. / •Kaboba (Serves 6) 2 pounds lamb steak (shred 3/4 inch thick) 3 tablespoons cooking oil 6 tablespoons Irtnon Joice I onion, mint ed 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 pound mushrooms Cut lamb into one-inch squares.

Stripes and plaids are very good for blouses, and the skirts boast of checks, solids and plaids. You can't go wrong if you select white because that is one of the big things this season, but white is very effectively combined with black as well as very bright and rich monotones like royal, kelly and red. In stripes and plaids the favorite color combinations are salmon and turquoise, lime and lilac as well as gold and gray. When you look at the picture in playsuits, there are not only very delectable solids that go well with Chill rice. Clean shrimp, icrnov ing black vein down the back. Cut shrimp into pieces, then combine with remaining ingredients. Serve on individual beds of the shredded lettuce. Salad Thai Satisfies Salad suggestions always intrigue the homemaker who is interested in varying her menus, particularly when she wants to “ dress up” a cold meal for hot summer days. Here is one slightly different from the usual salad: Make lemon Jelly in the usual manner, using lemon flavored gela tin or the plain unflavored gelatin and following the standard recipe. Turn into molds which have been rinsed with cold water. F ill molds about one-fourth full. Let this gela tin harden. Then fill molds with a combination of chopped apple, grat ed coconut, celery and a bit of chopped pimento for flavor. To two cups gelatin, use one cup chopped apple, two-thlrds cup chopped cel ery, one pimento and one-half cup grated coconut. F ill molds with gelatin and chill until firm . Serve on salad greens with French dress ing or a sour cream dressing. Released by WNU Features LYNN SAYS: Vegetable plates are interesting if they are carefully planned.

If you're the tailored type, stay with the solids in rayon or linen, for they're sleek and cool and al ways make you look beautiful. If you’re more casual, try an all print or a print and solid combination. The dress, bolero or top should fit at the shoulders without any pulling or straining. The shoulder seam should lie about 54 inch back of the center of the shoulder and be absolutely straight from neckline to sleeve scam. If you are square shouldered you don't need much padding. If the shoulders are round and sloping you’ll need just enough padding to make the dress look proper. If your dress or blouse has a collar, the latter should lie Gat without wrinkling. Wrinkles from neckline to shoulder are certainly an indication of tightness some where around the neckline, shoulder or sleeve seam. If the skirt is on ttie slim side, look for an easy fit over the hips. The slim skirts should be a little longer than full ones to give the fashionable length, but select the length which is best looking for you. Make your waistline fit properly and don’t try to camouGage loose ness with a belt as this only makes a messy result. Armholes should be big enough so that you feel at ease and comfort able. Avoid tight cuGs if your arm* are chubby.
