V Monotony Banned in Resolutions for New Months of 1936 A New Spirit to Greet the Bright Calendar ' is Approved by Economic Expert By VIRGINIA ROSS Home Economics Editor OFF on a New Year new hopes, new resolutions and a new spirit! With a nice new calendar sheet before us, It seems such a shame to mar it with all the little worries and troubles of the year that's gone. To me, it's so grand that at least once a year we can start out afresh. Maybe it's planning to remove some of our excess upholstery, or adding new things to our culinary collection. Seeing our friends a bit more, having them in for little informal sup pers and such. a Whatever it is, a new year j serves as, a starting post, I and somehow it's a a lot easier to run the race with a definite goal in sight. And ; a fresh begin ning. So how's for starting off with a new zest to our tables, a little Virginia Rom of the joy of living injected into the dread three -a-day? After all there's no reason for following the monotonous beefsteak, gravy and mashed potato path that many people have worn into a rut. Not with ail the recipes that are turned loose on this food loving continent by aspiring home economists and their ilk. AU the exchange of methods over the backyard fence, the card table and the teacups. And the many new things that are constantly appearing on our grocer's shelves. A most worthwhile resolution that every good homemaker might have would be that each day her table might carry some new little touch, a different recipe, an unusual flavor, a strik ing garnish, a new way of serv ing. For, more than any other one thing can do, does this little trick add to homemaking that spark that takes away the curse of the profession Monotony and provides the so often buried-with-our-youth Adventure! To that end I humbly aspire to take you along adventurous food trails, showing you new little tricks, unusual recipes, mouth watering dishes, tables set with allure. That's the way you'U find me saying it that same old wish, yet ever new Happy, Happy New Year, the whole year through 1 .

KONOON'S NASAL JELLY When attached to Food Prod ucts or Household Appliances means that they have been Tested and Approved by the West's highest authority From Paris comes this fashion of shoulder, arm and neck which Mischa declares is equally becom ing on maid or matron, giving charm to each alike. War Is Echoed In Styles for Western Women ECHOES of the Ethiopian war are being heard In the smart shops and department stores of Western cities now sinoe Ameri can women have decided to adopt the styles of native footwear. The Abyssinian sandal is be coming much in demand, espe cially with evening gowns, since it lends Itself to lavish design and much Jewel trimming. One style has a thong attached to the sole simlliar to the style worn by primitive natives. This Strip of leather is passed between the big toe and the second, ends in a decorative buckle which is fastened to a broad strip of dec Orated leather or satin, extending to both sides of the sole at a point forward of the heel. The effect of this is to give a high arch despite the flat heel. Another style, more comfort able has a band of leather or metal fastened to the sole at a point toward the front so, as to pass over the joints of the toes. Then there Is a broader band at tached near the heel of the sole, which holds it to the foot. These bands may be of almost any material and lend themselves to excessive decoration and even to being Jeweled, lending a de oidedly primitive touch of beauty to the woman of today. Hot Pineapple Juice Makes Pleasing Drink Since pineapple juice has passed from the luxury stage to a staple product we do many more things with it than we used to think possible. For Instance, there is mulled pineapple juice; have you ever had any ? Of course mulling over anything means thinking it over, and with this delightful beverage it means that selected spices havo mulled their flavor with that of the pineapple until a mellow whole is made ready to be served. This hot mulled beverage is an accent from the old world, for Scandinavian people were, and still are, fond of these hot spiced drinks. As a suggestion to make your mulled pineapple drink, try heating a can of pineapple Juice with a small piece of stick cin namon, a whole clove, dash of all spice and nutmeg, and of course, a suspicion of salt, for salt has the ability of rounding out the flavors and developing a pleasing whole. Heat the spices with the Juice until boiling and simmer just a minute strain and serve hot. FASHION TIPS By MISCHA Pacific Coast Fashion Designer FASHION is a reflection of the contemporary life a sensitive barometer of ever changing phase and influence. We must change clothes as we change our minds and moods. Different seasons bring different fashions, not sim ply due to climatic changes, but rather because a season is as long as any woman can afford to pre sent the same picture. You must be in fashion to be Intensively alive. With each change of fash ion comes a new personality a new woman. With the New Year are opened new pages of history. From these, Paris takes its inspiration. Curves are In soft, simple, flow ing curves that hum subtle so phistication and give rhythm to the frock. The French capltol is shoulder, arm, and neck conscious this year, and especially complimentary are the new necklines with jabots, bibs, bows, drapery, fichus, col lars and ruffles leading the way. Dress body lines' are almost universally simple, and molded at the waistline. Skirts are also plain, having some fullness below the knees. Of outstanding Importance in the chic early Spring styles Is color. They are rich or bright, according to the color of Milady's coat. A tawny yellow frock goes well with a smoky gray coat Other combinations are a dark red frock with a taupe or gray coat; a dark blue coat or a plum colored coat with a chartreuse frock, or a brown coat over a dress of warm almond green. A clever idea now in vogue among smart women Is that of making the hat and bag of the same material as the dreBS.

An easy way to crumble gra ham crackers for use In making crumb pastry, Is to put them into a large paper bag and roll with rolling pin.
