W hen I asked her how the party turned out. she replied. "Oh wonderful! Of course we had a fancy dessert a n d everything an the platters was fixed nicely, but the thing that Impressed me most was how good the vegetables were. We have the same vegetables that she served but mine never taste so good, yet there wasn't anything particularly hard about the way she prepared them." Here again, it's the little things that make the difference between everyday eating and special enter­ taining. But as my neighbor told me. the tricks were simple ones. Carrots were scraped shiny and bright, left whole and dusted with parsley and butter before serving. The cauliflower had a cheese sauce, and the tomatoes, dusted with bread crumbs and broiled, were really delicious. Little mounds of green peas were still green when served, and they Just had some but­ ter, salt and a few mushroom caps among them. All the vegetables were placed on a large platter with the cauli­ flower In the center. And the vege­ tables made as big a hit as the des­ sert! Vegetable tricks are simple ones. The first caution to observe Is not to overcook, thus destroying color, texture and vitamins—even though you can't see the latter.

Take a look at recent showings ot colorful wallpa|>er and fabrics and you will realize the importance of this idea. Daring combinations are used, not with daring results, but with interesting effect. Colors which you might never think of combining if you see them separately are used with excellent effects, and unusual and arresting results. Naturally it takes something of the knowledge of color to use them effectively, but even those who know little about basic princi pics are being helped by stores who coordinate rooms for the consumer. In many cases you'll find colors for paint and wallpaper, as well as furniture and draperies already selected for you. They come all packaged, so to speak. For example, if you like that love­ ly new shade of dark green for walls, and the room you have can not take all dark green, use a sin­ gle green wall or two or three, de­ pending upon the light in the room, with the other walls a gardenia white. Now, suppose you have a bed­ room and would like it wallpapered. The room, however, is too small to crowd with lots of small designs Did you know that the insides of shelves can be papered with a floral print, or a single wall can be pa­ pered likewise?
