THERE are many inexpensive
/ and delicious desserts that can
be made with canned or dried
fruits to add interest to winter
meals. These desserts furnish the
flavor and nutrition Of summer
fruits at time when the diet is
apt to be rather heavy and mo-
notonous.
Everyone naturally likes fruit
and fruit dishes. This makes the
serving of these foods an ideal
way to add vitamins and minerals
TO the diet.
The juice OF canned fruits is
often wasted The small fruits
particularly lose much of their
juice during the canning process
so that a can OF strawberries or
cherries seems half juice when it
is opened. Did you ever try stiff
ening the Juice with gelatine?
When served in mold with gar
nish Of whipped cream. the effect
is most attractive.

fashion has certain very definite advan-
tages. The usefulness of q silk or wool

should have one more practical sort Of
blouse that will not have to be washed
or cleaned too often. This may be of

or a dark figure on a light background.
Green, yellow and dusty pink are often
combined with black for the black suit,
and green, yellow, light blue or beige
are good combinations for the navy
blue suit.
Among the most practical of the new
blouseS are those made of rather finely
checked material - black and beige

with short sleeves and are an excellent

Chapters could be written about the
new silk crepe blouseS which may be
worn with suit or separate jacket. You
will find them in your favorite depart
ment store or blouse shop in eggshell
and beige, dusty pink, peach. light blue,
maize green, yellow and sometimes In
orchid. Beige and eggshell are the most
frequently chosen. Dusty pink and
peach will appeal to you because they
are SO becoming and so feminine. Light
greenish blues Of the aqua range are
smart, but q clear light blue that shows
no trace Of green is rather newer. A
vivid green blouse and yellow blouse
will suggest interesting developments for

best French tradition. But don't forget
that the silk blouse Is really a wash

not be impaired by careful washing and

Cotton blouses are presented in
tempting array. You will find fine

We're Conservative:

II fashions reflect prevailing tasts
and thought, then we must indeed bs
entering period Of conservatism and
good taste. Looking back over the new
Spring modes for . decade or more, Is
would be hard to find time when
there were fewer fashions Of the &C.
centric or sensational sort than there
are at the present time.
The fairly long skirt Is an accepted
fashion, but there has been no effort to
go on with the lengthening process.
Necklines are becoming more modest
but there Is no effort on root to revive
high collars. Sleeves are more varied
and more intricate than they have been
for many years, but none Of them are
extreme. Waistlines are normal, but any
effort to bring back the laced waist
has spent itself without effect.

~ UYING a new hat usually has its
- trying moments Selecting new
dress or suit, even If you can
IL afford a rather good one, Is
usually fraught with some dis
couragement. But buying new blouse
this season Is real and unauoyed
pleasure.
In the first place, there Is such wide
variety from which to choose, so many
charming shades, that you are sure to
find several that are becoming. Prices
for even the nicer blouses are surpris-
ingly low when you remember that when
the blouse Is bought your dress is more
than half paid for. Then, too, the
question Of getting the right size and
proportion is more easily answered with
q blouse than a dress. If the blouse fits
properly across the shoulders and bust,
adjustments are easily made at the
waistline or hips, and the question OF
skirt size and length IS one that can
be taken up by itself. If your arms are
unusually long or short, you may make
light of that difficulty by buying one OF
the blouses with short or three-quarter
length sleeves.
THE separate blouse has been well
coined with real enthusiasm. Cheers

women here and abroad. The remark
able thing about this situation is that
this revival has been in the air for such
a long time and has been so long in
coming to maturity. Another remark
able thing is that so many women
older women who had lived through
another era of the separate blouSe-had
definitely decided not so long ago that
they would never go back to the sepa-
rate blouse plus separate skirt fashion.
Most emphatically they would never
appear with light blouse and dark
skirt. To be sure they might wear a
light blouse with dark suit, but as
for appearing jacketless with white or
light blouse making a striking contrast
to a dark skirt-neverl
Right now one of the smartest of all
the new fashions, and one that carries
the approval of Paris, consists Of the
white blouse with black skirt. The
idea is even carried out in one-piece
dresses. Evening dresses with black
skirts and cleaning white upper por-
lions are among the smartest of the
