I DON'T know how you feel
about it but It always aeema
to me that along about thla time
of year our tables need a tonic as
badly as we do. Not of the sul-phur-and-molasaes
type. All of us

And so for
our tables. It

with lacey 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.

International Authority
In his slnosra deslrs to tnsbls
women to ba truly wsll dressed,
Mlsoha, the Intsrpatlonsl fashion
authority, In these fashion hints,
treats the Individual problems of
women. This wsek he points out
a few devloes whloh msy be sua
esssfully applied by ths womsn
who possesses lsrge or rounded
shoulders.
POOR posture and structural
deformity are ths two causes
from which round shoulders arise.
It Is possible, however, to mini
mlsehe 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 slseve are good ex
amples of sleeve styles which
should be avoided by a person of
this build.
Great cars should be exerted In
fitting the sleeve and cutting ths
arm-eye. The round-shouldered
woman, to appear beat will always
select ths set-In sleeve.
Placement of the shouldsr seam
la one of the best devices for ap
parently stralghtsnlng round
shoulders. Constructed slightly
back of the normal line, or slanted
back. It will causa the shoulders
to appear thrown back In an erect
attitude.
AVOID DETAILS
It la Important to avoid any
massive details at ths front of
the garment since this only serves
to give ths illusion of pulling the
shoulders still farther forwards.
In the evening gown especially,
the round-shouldered woman
should 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
ths shoulders may be corrected
by placement of the collar.
A soft, crushed collar, or one
which rolls up and away from ths
back of the neck, la very flatter
ing. A atralght-nanglng waist will
aid In concealing rounded or
stooped shoulders. Also effective
Is well-fitted, fairly long caps

I LIKE to vary my baking-powder
biscuits in different waya
Sometimes I spread the topa with
a mixture of orange Juice and
sugar before I bake them. Again
I spread the lower halves of hot
baked biscuits with butter and
ths upper halves with honey, and
put them together again. Hot bis
cuits are delicious, too, served
with maple syrup.
When you make cocoanut maca
. roons, make cooked salad dress-,
Ing at the same tlmo, using ths S
egg whites for ths first and the
yolks of the eggs for ths second
recipe.
t you don't have enough cock
tail glasses for a large number of
guests, serve your fruit or sea
food cocktails in grapefruit shells
It's a good Idea to let croquet
tes stand In a warm place for
about half an hour before frying.
They absorb less fat In cooking
than when Ice cold.
Left-over sweet pickle Juice
may be used to advantage in
making boiled salad dressing.
it your family la addicted to
cinnamon toast, keep a large-
sized salt shaker handy for
sprinkling cinnamon and sugar
on the hot buttered toast
Use food coloring sparingly, for
harsh colors In food are never
attractive. I add color paata grad
ually from the point of a small
knife or a toothpick, and drop In
liquid color cautiously with a
medicine dropper.
Use a little Imagination and
cocoanut for a new cake decora
tion, Try tiny nests of cocoanut
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 uses both beaten
yolks and beaten whites, beat the
yolks first; they don't lose their
lightness on standing as the whites
do, I've found that if I set my
bowl on a pot holder or folded
towel, It doesn't dance all over
the table as I beat the yolks.
-
I've found that large loaf cakes
bake best In tube pans, But If you
want to put a center decoration
on your cake, cover the hole with
a circle of white cardboard und

Employment of a definite wulal
line, thereby revealing the curve
of the figure, will make round
shoulders less apparent.
ACCESSORIES
In all of tho different phases or
a woman's dross there Is hnnlly
a more Important Horn than her
choice of accessories, Nothing Is
more disastrous to the costume
effect than to have a well-executed
dress completely ruined by Ill
chosen accessories.
Naturally, It la sometimes im
possible to have corresponding
accessories for every dress In the
wardrobe. When I his Is the case,
the hat, pursa. gloves, hose ami
shoes should be selected with the
Idea that they will hnrmonlte
with the varjous costumes at
hand. For example: never choose

In the choice of footwear. Sport

then frost It along with the real

Do you ever top your meat pies

minutes before the dish Is to come

them bake as ths dish finishes

Whenever you csrmellze sugar,
