Try New. Spring Dishes
For That Jaded Appetite
There Guaranteed Cure
Nothing Like Something New to Perk You Up When
Spring-Fever Time Arrives
By VIRGINIA ROSS
Home Economloi Editor
I DON'T know how you feel
about It but It always seems
to me that along about this time
of year our tables need a tonic as
badly as we do. Not of the sul-phur-and-molasses
type. All of us
have outgrown that New hats, a
r, ""'. perky print
frock, even a
V a haircuU-all of
"mmtuf V these have
proved to be
tonics far more
valuable to us
than ever that
which came
from a brown
bottle.
And so for
our tables. It
isn't enough to
lay away the
shining dam
ask of winter,
replacing It
Virginia Ron
with iacey doilies. Nor yet will a
change of glassware or a new
dinner set alone do the trick
though even a different pickle
dish does a lot toward adding In
terest. We must look to the food!
Roasts and dressing, rich
gravies, heavy puddings, are all
right on the winter table but
with the coming of spring ah,
"thereby hangs the tale!" These
dishes are a guaranteed cure for
tired dinner tables. They're re
plete with spring thrills from the
minute one's eye lights on them
until the last spoonful Is gone.

Some Tips
DO YOU ever serve gingerbread
with a meal In place of regu
lar bread? The smartest tea
rooms are doing It! Hot molasses
gingerbread with lots of butter
was Just made for this.
If you want something unusual,
make marshmallow teas. Cut a.
small slash In the top of a marsh
mallow, Insert a tiny bit of butter,
then set it on a saltine, moisten
ing the bottom to make it stick.
After baking five minutes In a hot
ven, put strawberry jelly in the
little hollows formed in the centers
of the marshmallows.
Hot mayonnaise puffs are an
unusual salad accompaniment and
also make delightful appetizers.
Fold one cup of mayonnaise gently
but thoroughly Into one stiffly
beaten egg white. Pile on crack
ers, and toast under the broiler
about a minute or until delicately
browned and puffed.
It's easy to spread the tops of
little cup cakes with raspberry
jam and sprinkle them with

FASHION TIPS
BY MISCHA
International Authority
In his sincere desire to enable
women to be truly well dressed,
Mlscha, the International fashion
authority, in these fashion hints,
treats the individual problems of
women. This week he points out
a few devices which may be suc
cessfully applied by the woman
who possesses large or rounded
shoulders.
POOR posture and structural
deformity are the two causes
from which round shoulders arise.
It Is possible, however, to mini
mize the rounded appearance. Cor
rect selection of clothes Is the
answer to the problem. There are
some modes which definitely must
not be worn, because they only
aggravate and Increase the round
ed appearance. The kimono and
the .raglan sleeve are good ex- -amples
of sleeve styles which
should be avoided by a person of
this build.
Great care should be exerted in
fitting the sleeve and cutting the
arm-eye. The round-shouldered
woman, to appear best, will always
select the set-in sleeve.
Placement of the' shoulder seam
ia one of the best devices for ap
parently straightening round
shoulders. Constructed slightly
back of the normal line, or slanted
back, it will cause the shoulders
to appear thrown back In an erect
attitude.
AVOID DETAILS
It is important to avoid any
massive details at the front of
the garment, since this only serves
to give the Illusion of pulling the
sRoulders still farther forwards.
In the evening gown especially,
the round-shouldered woman
ahould always choose the square
or pointed neck line.
Proper manipulation of collars
is another medium through which
It is possible to alleviate the effect
of round shoulders. The curve of
the shoulders may be corrected
by placement of the collar.
A soft, crushed collar, or one
which rolls up and away from the
back of the neck, Is very flatter
ing. A straight-hanging waist will
aid in concealing rounded or
stooped shoulders. Also effective
Is a well-fitted, fairly long cape
possessing pointed or slender
lines.

I LIKE to vary my baking-powder

the upper halves with honey, and
put them together again. Hot bis

Use a little Imagination and
cocoanut for a new cake decora

with a red cherry in the center
of each on a white cake, or white
spokes of cocoanut radiating in a
wheel design from the center of
a chocolate cake, or tinted cocoa
nut In crisscross effect on a white
frosting.
When a cake use both beaten
yolka and beaten whites, beat the

do. I've found that if I set my
