With Walk Room;
Polka Dots Good
By Uniltd Presi
This spring the sheath shows
throughout designer collections,
but the thoughtful dressmakers
have provided walking room,
via pleats and in the case of
Pauline Trigere, godets. The
French-born designer uses these
insets in their briefest form
"midget godcts." she termed
them in both daytime and eve
niiTg clothes.

American Men Like to Cook
Survey Shows; Prefer Meat
Fashion displays a lot of brass
this spring. Brass buttons ran
throughout the New York col
lections. The firm of Frechtel
uses them, in big. medium and
small sizes, as suit and coat
trim.
Ceil Chapman, the New York
designer who last year revived
the fashions of the Irene Castle
period, this year returned to the
30's for inspiration. One silhou
ette in her new collection is
called the "flirt skirt." Basically
this silhouette, for evening, is
figure-hugging just to below the
knees, where it fans out, thanks
to artful drapery or ruffle, much
In the manner of a fiamenco
dancer's costume.
Fashion show chuckle . . . one
of the 200 reporters covering the
recent spring fashion shows by
the couture group of the New
York Dress Institute commented
after several collections fea
tured row on row of material
in skirts, "I'm bored to tiers."
Put your best foot forward in
prints and polka dots this
spring.
Delman shoes are covered
with- prints of flowers and but
terflies or bold polka dots. The
butterfly prints combine pink,
violet, blue green and gray on
white background.
Polka dot shoes in gray, yel
low, violet,. red. blue, white and
black, with large white dots.
And one dancing slipper comes
with a heel made to look like
a rose stem. The back of the
shoe is the full-blown petal of
a big silk rose.

New York Most, American
males not only bring home the
bacon, but more and more of
them are cooking it for the fam
ily after they arrive. What's
more, most of them believe that
they are handier in the kitchen
than their wives.
These are among the findings
of a Borden company survey to
which 700 middleclass married
males from all parts of the coun
try responded. The answers
show that men are spending
more time in the kitchen and
enjoying It. too.
An even 80 per cent of the
men shop for groceries, and 71
per cent said they cook at one
time or other. When do they
don the chef's cap? Out-of-doors
cooking topped the list with 64
per cent, while more than half
took to the skillet when the wife
was away or ill, and for Sunday
breakfast preparation. And more
than a third like to cook "for a
surprise" or when the family
has guests.
Asked what types of foods
they preferred to prepare, the
male cooks responded in this
order: Meats, 79 per cent: eggs
64 per cent; and barbecue, 56
Evans Valley Club
Opens New Years;
Rose Grower Talks
Evans Valley Evans Valley
Garden club held its first meet
ing of the new year at the home
of Mrs. Charles L. Milligan. with
Mrs. Wendell M. Stringer as co
hostess. Dessert was served.
Members answered roll call
by naming a winter blooming
flower.
Several members had dried
arrangements on exhibit. The
club president, Mrs. John Goldt.
showed a garden with a bird
sanctuary and statue of St.
Francis, the Patron saint 6f ani
mals, feeding the birds. An ar
rangement by Mrs. Stringer was
of pussy-willows, rose hips and
viburnum. Mrs. Neily Sunds dis
play consisted of dried hydran
gea. Oregon grape and Timothy
grass.
Feeding and housing birds dur
ing the winter months was dis
cussed. The matter of making a
donation to help in establishing
more roadside rest and picnic
grounds was presented for fur
ther consideration.
A letter received from the
troop of Brownies sponsored by
the club, expressing their thanks,
was read to the members.
Mrs. Harry Winters, program
chairman, introduced Mrs. Tom
Mauchline. connoisseur of roses,
who talked on selecting, plant
ing, fertilizing and pruning of
rose bushes for best results. Be
sides giving information that she
has gained working with roses
over a number of years. Mrs.
Mauchline passed on opinions of
Roy Hennessey, an ardent grow
er of roses in Hillsboro. Ore.
The next meeting will be held
at the home of Mrs. Neily Sund

Mrs. Harry Winters as co-hostess.

spring to improve her garden.
per cent. Other preferences
we're in . the following order:
Salads, poultry, fish, soups,
vegetables, game, stews and des
serts. Sauces and casseroles
trailed last. And what did they
consider their specialty? Out
door steaks and barbecue, as ex
pected. Don't Need Recipes
Only 19 per cent always fol
low recipes, but 68 per cent use
them at times. And 60 per cent
of the male cooks like to impro
vise, by adding their own in
gredient'. Two-thirds of the
male cooks use prepared pack
aged foods, such as frozen and
canned goods and pancake mix
es. And when it comes to shop
ping, 84 per cent buy plain gro
ceries, although more than half
buy fancy groceries at various
times, too.
Another interesting fact, ac
cording to Borden home eco
nomists, is that most of the men
are not overly conscious of
budgeting. Only 12 per cent fol
low a strict budget, while 58
per cent are on a "hit-and-miss"
budget. The rest do not set up
a food budget at all.
The married male cooks. 64
per cent of them, said they want
to know more about cooking.
This is proved by the fact that
71 per cent of them read articles
on cooking and 86 per cent like
to read about foods in general.
And to that question, "Do you
believe men can cook as well as
women," 73 per cent said "yes"
and 26 per cent believed they
could cook even better than
women. Still, the wives remain
queens in their own kitchens
96 per cent of the 700 married
men like the food prepared by
their spouses, despite all quips
to the contrary- The Borden
survey has another encouraging
sign for the wives: 65 per cent
of the men report that they
don't mind giving a hand in
preparing meals, and 62 per cent
even like to suggest recipes cull
ed from food columns.
