Lenten Season
Only Three Days; Now 40
By JEANNE LESEM
".United Press Correspondent
: New York (IP) Meal
planning for the first Lenten
season, around 325 A.D., was
a cinch compared with mod
tm times. Only three days'
meals had to be worked out
Instead of the present 40.
- Cooking was simpler, too,
If fish were the meat substi
tute chosen for a day of fast
ing and abstinence, a cook
3ust grilled it directly over
hot coals without benefit of
?ancy kitchen equipment.
; You can still serve grilled
fish for Lent but tradition
and a wider variety of meat
Substitutes now provide a
much more varied menu for
his important event of the
Christian calendar.
; Fish and seafood are by no
means obligatory, although
Jfovernisent figures indicate
lhat we eat more fish at Lent
lhan at any other time of the
ear.
According to Roman Cath
clic church law, Lent is a 40-
day period or mortification
leading up to Easter, the
jnain feast day of the Christ
Ian calendar, and the day that
commemorates the Resurrec
lion. Originally Three Days
The food rules during Lent
are simply a means of show
ing penance for sins by fast
ing every day and abstaining
Irom meat upon certain days
f the period.
; A fast day, church law
says, may have only one
Jarge meal instead of the
pustomary two large and one
Small. And, only at the large
fneal is meat to be eaten.
I Lent originally lasted only
Ihree days. But late in the
Sixth century, it was extend
ed to 36 days and, in the
jeventh century to the 40

Z As it grew in length,
Bomemakers and home econ
omists developed new recipes

Kids Love
Chemise
Br GAY PAULEY
Unitad Press Women's Editor
New York (W The che
mise reigns today as the num
ber one silhouette for the
younger 'set. -1
"It's the right shape for
kids. Shapeless," said Stanley
Love, general sales manager
for Joseph Love, Inc., one of
the largest manufacturers of
girls' wear from tots to early
teens.
"They love the chemise,"
he said. "Kids can wiggle un
derneath . . . and they were
born to wiggle. This is the
most important change in
children's fashions in the last
five years . . . since the long
torso came in."
Surprising Development
The children's wear indus
try seemed astounded at the
immediate success of a fash
ion which mamma also is just
getting into.
"Children's fashion trends
usually trail a year behind
adults," said Mrs. Albert Kon
heim, president of Connie
Sade, Inc., which outfits girls
11 through 13.
Some manufacturers o f
girls' wear showed the un
adulterated, or maybe
should say unbelted, chemise
Others, such as Connie Sage
and Yolande Corp. break its
severe lines with two-piece
effects or actual two-piecers.
Sage is shipping belts with
its pure chemises, just in
case.
Yolande said its biggest sel
ler for spring is a Combo,
with Navy cotton broadcloth
skirt, narrow-pleated, with a
blue- and white overblouse of
cotton duck.
"There's hardly such a
thing as a waistline any
more, said Love, which has
40 to 50 variations of the
chemise.
The chemise Is number
one, but not the only silhou
ette around for spring. There
are still some dressy nylon,
silk and organdy frocks with
full skirts and big sashes.
Other trends manufactur
ers report for spring:
Apricot and turquoise have
edged out the pale pinks and
blues in many collections.

Dinner to Honor

School Employees' association,
will honor Charles Stelle at
a dinner, Saturday, February

teria of McLoughlin Junior

es of this country appear ov
er and over again in a wide
selection of cookbooks on
our shelves. Fish and seafood
casseroles, croquettes, and
broiled, baked and fried fish
recipes are within easy reach
along with macaroni and the
spaghetti favorites and many
egg dishes
But a European nation
that was observing Lent long
before Christians set foot in
the New World has few such
cooking guides as ours on
hand.
In that nation Spain
the housewives learn cook
ing from their mothers, said
Senora Luis Bolin, whose hus
band is information counselor
for the Spanish embassy in
Washington, D.C

Each province has its own
special dishes, she explained,
and even the better-known
national dishes are prepared
differently in each section.
One Spanish favorite is ar-
roz which usually is made
with chicken or pork. But for
Lent, a Spanish cook simply
substitutes fish and seafood
in this hearty rice casserole
Senora Bolin has worked
out her own version, using
ingredients you'll find in
most grocery stores.
Her arroz a la marinera is
made by sauteing 1 large on
ion, sliced; 1 clove garlic,
crushed: and i cup chopped
parsley in Vi cup olive oil.
When onion is soft and yel
low, add 1 pound of fish (had
dock, halibut or cod) cut in
serving pieces.
Saute fish until lightly col
lored, add 3 frozen rock lob
ster tails that have been cut
in thirds, and cook 1 minute.
Add one 8-ounce can minced
clams with juice, one 1-pound
can tomatoes, 1 teaspoon salt,
a pinch of saffron, 1 cup un
cooked long grain rice and 1

Early Start. Ad vised On
Scholarship 'Shopping7
By GAY PAULEY
United Press Women'a Editor
New York (IP) Now's
the time to shop for a scholar
ship, if you're a high school
senior planning to go on to
college. . ..
Get the bid in early, ad
vises the National Youth
Scholarship fund, which said
each year about 65 million
idollars in scholarships are
available. Many of them are
standard types, usually given
where there is financial need
; or to encourage study of a
! specific subject.
But there are some off-beat
ones the . average teen-ager
never hears about.
For instance if you are a
girl who doesn't smoke, you
are eligible for a Harriet
Rogers Jewett Scholarship at
Pembroke college, . Provi
dence, R.I.
The fund,' which research
ed some of the more unusual
scholarships, said apparently
the donor considered smoking
an unladylike habit.
If you are a boy and your
name is De Forest, you are
eligible for a $1,000 scholar
ship to Yale university.
Driver's Son Is Eligible
A cab driver's son is eligible
for a Daniel G. Arnstein
scholarship which pays full
expenses for four years at
any college, including travel,
clothing and spending money.
Arnstein is the owner of a
fleet of New York taxicabs.
Some of the off-beat scholar
ships result from the desire of
Actress Believes
Romance Is Key
To Youthfulness
Chicago (IP) Actress Glo
ria Swanson, a glamorous 58,
gives alfalfa sprouts their
due as an aid to youth, but
says they are a poor substi
tute for romance.
Here to publicize her "For
ever Young" fashions firm,
Miss Swanson told a news
conference Thursday "ro
mance is the most important
element ' of all" in staying
young. She added, regretful
ly, that she has none at the
moment.
And having none, she went
on, she's had to fall back on
alfalfa sprouts, salad, yogurt
and milk, "my favorite meal,"
to keep her youthful appear
ance. The silent screen star rules
out of her diet "anything with
female hormones or antibi
otics," chemicals, or foods
that have been sprayed with
DDT.
The actress, wearing a
black velvet sack dress, cut
high in- front and waist-deep
in back, and a hat to match,
refused to discuss diets favor
ed by other American wom
en. "Nobody really knows
what garbage goes inside
them," she said.
She defended her state
ments of several years ago,
expressing a preference for
the continental type.
"I still think that European
men are better lovers, hus
bands and fathers than Ameri
can men.
"Men in Europe like wom
en with something in their
heads.
Man's Viewpoint
Should Be Target
For Advertisers
Chicago (IP) Advertisers
are advised to slant their sell
ing back to the man's view
point. One of the nation's chief
food brokers, Paul Sayres, of
Mount Vernon, N.Y., said a re
cent survey by his firm indi
cated that advertising has con
centrated on the woman's
viewpoint too long.
He said although the lady of
the house does most of the
spending, the wishes of the
man- around-the-house are re
spected, especially in the mat
ter of food buying.
The survey showed men
also do a lot of the food buy
ing. Four out of every 10 su
permarket baskets are pushed
by men, and Sayres thinks
that with a national food bill
of 45 billion dollars a year,
admen are just not efficient if
they don't make a pitch to the
male customer.
Chicago (IP) Eggs and
beans combine for a supper
time delight. With scrambled
eggs and sausages, serve a
tossed combination of hot but
tered beans with garlic-flavored
croutons. A sprinkling
of grated cheese, preferably
a sharp variety, will further
flavor the bean dish.
DAIRY
the wealthy donor to see that
children from a certain area
get first chance. That's the
only reason the fund can
figure for one Harvard scho
larship, available if your
name is Anderson, Baxendale,
Borden, Bright, Downer, Ha
ven, Murphy or Pennoyer,
and if you are an Iowan liv
ing along the Chicago, Burl
ington and Quincy railroad.
If you hanker to become a
movie queen, there's a SI, 000
Katherine Hepburn scholar
ship from Bryn Mawr college,
Bryn Mawr, Pa.
You don't even need top
marks to apply-for one of 35
scholarships in the A. W.
Mellon Fund at Carnegie In
stitute of Technology. All you
have to show is that part-time
work or extra-curricular ac
tivities made a dent in your
grades.
There are scholarships for
caddies, for orphans, news
boys and physician's children.
Sets Up Fund
An Eagle Scout has a
special scholarship at Prince
ton university. It was set up
by a St. Louis banker who is
active in the Boy Scout move
ment. And if by chance your
father is a biscuit maker in
New York, you are eligible
for a four-year scholarship
sponsored by the Biscuit and
Crackers Workers Local 405.
"But most scholarships call
for a 'B' or better average,"
said Kenneth B. Hawthorne,
director of the scholarship
fund. "Plus, a good record of
extra-curricular activities, and
occasionally some special
talent or qualification . . .
"There are enough scholar
ships to warrant a serious sur
vey ... by any student who
needs financial help to con
tinue his education," he said.

Women Demand Drip Dry
Even in Expensive Frocks
By GAY PAULEY
United Press Women's Editor
New York (IP) - Around
Manhattan: The phrase "drip
dry" crops up as often as the
word "c h e
mise" in fash
i o n show
rooms these
days. It's the
term the gar
ment industry
uses to de
scribe cottons,
synthetics, or
c o mbinations
Gay Pauley of the two
treated so that little or no
ironing is needed.
Apparently some customers
want a dress to drip dry
even though they can afford
to wear the garment once and
throw it away.
The other day when David
Crystal, Inc., showed its sum
mer collection to fashion re
porters, one of the firm's
West Coast representatives
told this story:
Salesman Chip Reiger said
he was in the custom salon
of I. Magnin, a classy San
Francisco shop, when a wom
an came in to ask the price
of a nylon and cotton party
dress displayed in a store
window.
A salesgirl checked and an
swered, "two-hundred and 85
dollars."
"Will it drip dry?" asked
the customer.
I would have thought this
story the product of a gag
writer, if I had not been on
a Madison avenue bus when
it happened. A woman and
two girls one about 10, the
other a little younger board
ed the crowded vehicle. The
woman started to pay two
fares when the driver pointed
out, "there's three of yuh."
"I know," she said, "but
don't children under five ride
free?" The driver agreed they
did, and took the two fares.
Just as the woman sat down,
the older child in a voice
heard the length and breadth
of the bus said, "but mom-

Passengers roared with
laughter, a flustered mother
said nothing, and the driver
only commented:
"Lady, when you want to
show off, they won't say
nuttin', will they?" ?
He didn't collect the third
fare.
A new report from the U.S.
Labor department gives latest
statistics on achievements of
women.
The study, called "Spotlight
on Women in the United
States," shows 22 million fe
males working, to make up
one third of the labor force.
Top job category: The white
collar girl.
The report, compiled by the
Women's Bureau, showed six
million women hold jobs as
secretaries, stenographers and
typists or in other clerical
work. Next largest group,
about three million, are fac
tory workers.
The report credited women
with casting half the votes
in the last presidential elec
tion. "In the course of 10
presidential elections, women
have achieved a power at the
polls equal to that of men,
whose voting history covers
43 presidential elections," the
report said.
Women slightly outnumber
men as stockholders, although
men own a majority of the
shares. Two-thirds of the
women shareholders are
housewives and non-employed
women.
