Shown in higher-riding sil houettes that cover more of the foot, these .slippers are in ttride with high fashion. , For glamorous evenings at home, the thong slipper and mule are most popular. New thongs feature wider straps, ornamented with little jew eled buckles and buttons. Mules most often perch on curved mid-heels, and ; are detailed with scalloping along the edge of the vamp or high riding tongue effect that slenderizing line to the foot. These are often accent ed with flat, leather-covered buckles, crushed bows and in nlpatine. The low-heeled slipper and the new scooped-in wedge tvles. hieh on the list for solid comfort, reflect high fashion in leather- textures and colors and unusual styl ing. -. Vamps in most instances reach higher up on the instep, sivin the foot a more cover- up look. The slim, tapered toe silhouette is empnasizea to complement the easy lines of casual clothes. Spiced Ale Recipe Fine for Holidays Tasty and traditional is this modern version of the spiced ale that was served from the famous wassail bowl. Heat a gallon of cider with teasDoon each of whole cloves and allspice, 3 whole 'sticks of cinnamon and sugar to taste. Roast crab apples or lady apples in a hot oven until their skins burst, and float a W atrm the steaming bowl. Tt' delightful! The Christmas custom of toasting friends and relatives from a wassail bowl of spiced wine gained great favor dur tt mirMle ases. "Waes Hail? in Middle English mMnt "B. fortunate." and the toast was usually answer ed, "Drink hail.' One of the' most warm hearted traditions of the Christmas season is the ex change of greeting cards. At this time of the year close friends and casual acquaints ances take time out to express their best wishes However, sometimes it can be pretty confusing to receive a card from somebody you've never heard of. The proper way to sign a Christmas card often poses a problem for many people. In the first place, one should never forget to put the complete return address on the envelope.- - In the second place, the signature you use should be determined by the type of card and the person who re ceives it. If you have chosen a gay, casual greeting for close friends, you can sign it sim ply with your first name. If you're married sign the first name of both, followed by the last name. - With married couples, the one signing the cards, always writes his or her name last. If you prefer to have your cards printed, the wife's name comes first. When there are children, the signature as a family group is always in good taste, whether it is printed or writ ten; for example, "The Smiths." : The conventional signature' Lis always acceptable for" the greetings sent to business ac quaintances. The formal "Mr. and Mrs. John G. Smith" should be printed, and the card should be more formal in both design and message.
