PROPER FOOD FOR
YOUNG CHILDREN
Essential Facts About Foods
in Popular Discussion.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricultural
The time-wOrn question, "What shall
we eat?" has been attacked from a
new angle in a government bulletin
written for junior hOmemakers. Mis-
cellaneOus Circular 40, "A Guide to
Good Meals for the Junior Home
Makers" recently published by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, approaches group not previous
ly appealed to in the literature of nu-
triton. The interest of younger chill
dren has for some time been attacked
by food and health rhymes, by Illus
tratiOns of animated milk bottles,
grinning cereal bowls, and dancing
egg cups. Adults have been encOur
aged through many publications, both
popular and technical, to choose the
right food for themselves and their
offspring. But the adolescents at the
pickle-eating, ice-cream- gOrging stage
have not until now had a government
bulletin solely for themselves.
The authors, Ruth Van Deman and
Caroline L. Hunt, are specialists in
the bureau of home economics They
have presented the essential facts
about foods in popular discussion. A
novel Introductory paragraph sug-
gests that if all kinds of foods in the
world were to be assembled in one
market where people of all races came
to buy, the combinations they chose
would have similar food value though
made up of very different foods For
instance, the Japanese might select
fish, rice, certain legumes, sofa sauce,
bamboo sprouts, and persimmOns,
while the American chose meat, eggs,
milk, bread, a variety of American
fruits and vegetables, but each would
have the makings of a well-balanced
diet. The youthful readers are intro
duced to the term "calOrie" in such a
way that 1t can no longer hold any
mystery for them. They are also ad-
vised to keep track of their weight,
to drink at least a pint of milk day,
to include an abundance of vitamines
and minerals (frOm the vegetable and
fruit group, and to limit the quantity
of sweets used.
The circular containing these valu-
able suggestions to home makers of
the future may be had while the sup
ply lasts by writing to the United

Short Jacket Ensemble
Is Practical and Smart

Practically and smartness are COM
bined in the new short jacket ensem-
BILE. The frock beneath the short
jacket is sleeveless or short-sleeved so
that it is practical for sports or an
afternoon bridge or tea. The jacket
is of jumper length, generally blous-
ing bit over a low-placed belt of
self-fabric. When the jacket is worn
one has smart street suit ready for
any day occasion and when the jacket
is removed it remains for the blouse
portion to say whether it's a tea time
or sports frock.
For dressy occasions the blouse may
be made of silk crepe matching the
shade of the woolen suit fabric. 1t
may be embroidered or trimmed with
gOrgeOusly colored sleeves, etc. While
for sports wear the upper portion of
the frock is generally V-necked, short
sleeved and made of the same mate
rial as the jacket.

Merits of Soft Custord
and Cream Are Outlined

Some people always make a soft
custard for pudding sauce instead of
using cream. AS to the relative
merits Of soft custard and cream used
in this way, the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture makes the follow
ing explanation: Soft custard, for
which the proportions are a pint of
milk, the yolks of three eggs, one
quarter cupful sugar, one-eighth tea
spoonful salt, and any desired flavor
ing, is very much like ordinary cream
in composition except in the matter
of iron. Of that important element a
given amount Of custard contains
three or four times as much iron as
the same amount of cream. 1t is to
be recommended, therefore, for those
who specially need iron. Children
who get most of their protein from
milk are likely to be more in need of
iron than of calcium Adults, on the
other hand, who get most of their pro-
tein from meat are likely to need cal
cium more than iron. In general,
therefore, the soft custard is better
for children, and cream just as good
or better for grownups. Since cream
differs in price very little with the
season, the economy involved in using
soft custard depends chiefly on the
price of eggs.

Long Strings of Pearls
Among Latest Novelties

Long strings of pearls, varying in
length from 48 to 72 inches, are a
late contribution in the way of Orna-
mentatiOn for the throat. The pearls
are about the size of marbles and are
strung closely together or alternate
with very fine seed pearls. Despite
the much-talked-of popularity of the
colored pearls, only those of creamy
white are chosen for these necklaces.
They may be worn looped about the
neck or allowed to hang straight
Hammered silver, finished in old
gold, is combined with imitation Jade
or with lapis in barpins, earrings and
bracelets. The metal work is copied
from fruit and floral designs so much
used in italian work of this kind.
For the pump with strap there
are several new designs in slides, both
in cut steel and bronze. The round
button type in either metal is highly
desirable on a wide strap, while the
smaller or odd shapes seem to COM
bine better with narrow straps. Some
of these slides have a fringe made of
fine beads to match the metal used in
the slide.

Choosing curtains for the house
brings to mind fabrics of charming
color and texture hanging in graceful
folds. But it Is not always easy to
get just the effect the mind first pic
tured, and cost much be considered.
To curtain the windows of even five
room house, about 60 yards Of mate
rial is needed, and curtains generally
have to be renewed every few years.
AS help to hOmemakers, the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
makes suggestions about curtain fab
rics and ways of hanging them. Cur
tainS are an excellent means of fur
bishing up an old house, or are needed
as the finishing touch to a new one.
In planning curtains remember that
windows are put in houses in order to
admit light and air. Make your cur
tains as simple as effectiveness will
permit. Elaborate curtains defeat the
purpose of windows and are out of
place in the average home.
Shape and Size of Window.
Look carefully at the shape and size
of the windows and how they are
placed in the walls. Picture the effect
of curtains of various styles on those
particular windows and how they will
appear from the outside as we'll as
the inside of the house. If there are
lovely views from the windows, study
how to keep them without sacrificing
privacy and an attractive interior.
An unattractive view may need to be
screened by curtains, but beware of
shutting out too much light.
Study the general style of your
room. Curtains can help to make
room homelike and inviting or digni-
fed and formal, depending on the kind
Of material used and how it is hung.

Much gold and silver kid trimmings

Other trimmings, and these are
newer and more numerous, are made
with grosgrain ribbon, which is very
often plisse even when inserted into
felt or straw. There are also hats
