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 .

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.

A very practical, inexpensive,
and satisfying hot entree for
luncheon guests Is creamed
asparagus on the avocado half
shell. Cream the asparagus by
preparing a little heavier than
standard white sauce (3 table
spoons flour and three table
spoons butter to one cup of
milk). Heat the cooked asparagus,
cut in short lengths, with strips
of pimento, In the white snuco.
Fill the seed cavities of the
halved, unpeeled avocados, cover
with a slice of broiled bacon and
place In a shallow pan for four
minutes in a quick oven 400
degrees. It Is not intended to bake
the avocado, merely to warm
slightly. Serve Immediately.
Sweet potatoes may also be
French fried and are very good
with chops. Para and slice pota
toes, parboil for two minutes in
boiling water and then fry In
deep fat heated to 400 degrees F.
Chopped fresh mint on glazed
carrots Is supposed to lend then
a new flavor. To glaze carrots,
cook them with corn syrup and
butter In a casserole.

base for coffee Jelly, coffee Span

found practical.
