WASH HINCTON FASHIONS
Schoolgirl Dress
Adopted by
Mother

We selected the dress photo
graphed today because it's such
a grand school dress, a good
frock to start the fall out with.
But we found that it couldn't
be labeled with a school tag,
and put aside for campus pur-
poses, because other women,
mothers as we'll as daughters,
liked it,. too.
While we we're still in the
store, after it had been "Shot"
by the camera, a woman bought
one for herself, instead of for
her daughter. So, the conclu-
sion is that such dresses are go
ing to be winter favorites with
people of all ages.
Wings Over Shoulders
But to describe the dress. -.
it's of a fairly lightweight
knitted fabric in vibrant black
and-white design that suggests
a shepherds check. The fabric
is lovely and soft, evidently with
some angora woven in for extra
depth and softness.
The skirt is gored slightly, so
that it will flare low, but be
snug through the hips.
White pique lines the shoulder
wings, and make the tiny tie
that goes around the neck and
makes a bow in front. Then,
for a touch of color, there's a
green belt. It's priced $16.75,
and is in misses sizes.
A SIOuch Sailor
The hat worn with this clever
frock is equally noteworthy,
and no matter who buys and
wears it, it's decidedly youth
full.
It's a black felt slouch sailor,
worn turned up on one side
and down on the other, but is
the type that you pull into
whatever shape suits you best.
A colorful little red and green
feather sticks in the band on
the side. It's SITS, and comes
in colors, too.
For fashion information, or
the name of the store showing
these clothes, write Miss Laville,
inclOsing self-addressed, stamp
ed envelope, or call District

Helpful Hints for
Housewives

If cocoa is served to children
for breakfast, or for a hurried
lunch, instead of making it
fresh each time a syrup may
be prepared of the cocoa, sugar
and water and this kept on
hand to be added to heated
milk when desired. This in
sures thorough cooking of the
cocoa, which is necessary to
make it easily digeStible and
to bring out the full flavor.
Children who must prepare
their own luncheon while moth
er is away will find this pre-
pared cocoa syrup easy to
handle and less possibility OF
the cocoa scorching or boiling
over when being prepared. The
milk can be heated gradually
and a little of the cocoa syrup
poured into it and stirred. The
cocoa, having been previously
cooked in making the syrup, re-
qGires no further cooking than
this.
A salad is part of the meal
that adds either interest, va
riety, attractiveness, piquancy'
or special flavor. Arranging
salads attractively requires a
bit of thought and attention.
It is often difficult to mix the
salad at the last minute, as so
often has to be done, and yet
blend the flavors thoroughly.
Try making a salad in a bowl
in which have been placed
leaves of crisp greens, then mix
the salad dressing gently with
wooden utensils so as not to
bruise the tender salad ingredi-

Fall Picnic Hints
By The Merry Cook

baked beans, picked beets.
hard-cooked or deviled eggs and
potato chips, a nicely baked
cake and fruit-au line them
selves up in your mental pic,
ture of which should be served
at the picnic spread as you go
about planning the menu.
You want thermos pail Of
lemonade and plenty of hot
coffee. Brew the coffee and
pour it in the thermos bottle
or thermos jug. Or, if you pre-
fer to serve it iced, make it
slightly over normal strength
and then place ice and coffee
in an alright contained in the
refrigerator to chill.
Sandwiches, like potato salad,
are a most important item in
the picnic basket, and seldom
is there any left over to be
carried home again. The kind
one takes should depend upon
the remainder of the lunch, so
that there will not be a same
ness. If deviled eggs are on
the bill of fare, omit egg sand
WicheS.
The sweet part of your lunch
is a matter of choice. A nicely
frosted cake is always good.
Drop cookies or iced cup cakes,
fruit, sandwiches. Frequently
folks take a freezer of home
made ice cream and it probably
tastes even 100 per cent better
eaten in the open air accom-
panied by the homemade cake.
Besides the lunch one must
have a generous supply of nap
kins, not just one for each
guest. A table cloth of oilcloth
is good as it is easily cleaned
and you need matches.
The Washington times., 1933-09-07

For those who are picnic
minded, it usually doesn't mat
ter what season of the year it
is as long as the weather is
appropriate and the favorite
spot is available for the feast.
Of all the seasons, many pre-
fer the fall for outdoor feasts.
At this time Of the year the
days are cooler and you don't
have to worry about sunburn
and the foliage of the trees, Of
course, is gorgeous. Then, too,
the various summer insects are
mostly gone by fall and you
are not so apt to have these
unlimited guests buzzing around
the sandwiches or scampering
across your napkin with a
pilfered crumb.
Fall to many is ideal. The
first thing, however, with all
picnics is to decide what kind
of a feast your picnic is to be.
Whether a cold affairs with
wrapped sandwiches, potato
salad in a jar, pie and thermos
bottles of iced tea-or a camp
ing affair with steak and pota-
toes and coffee to be cooked
over the open fire. Then there
is the other way of cooking one
hot main dish at home and TAX
ing it along with you all ready
to serve or to be warmed up if
necessary. This all depends on
where you are going and what
your family prefers.
It seems that no one item Of
food is more enjoyed in picnic
season than good Id creamy po-
tato salad. OF course, one
wouldn't miss ones share of
cold chicken and sliced backed
ham, either.
Other such foods as hot

He Drinks and She's Uncertain
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a girl Of 18 and going
with a boy about %. He likes
me, and I like him very much.
He comes to see me about three
times a week. I think he drinks
almost all the time when am
not around. He knows I don't
like his drinking, too. What
would you do or say about
it? If you we're in my place
and he asked you to marry him,
before you were 19, would you
accept him?
MABEL.
No, indeed; not at 19, my
dear, nor at 30, unless you have
positive proof that the boy has
conquered his weakness abso-
lutely. No woman has any
sense of security with man
who drinks. Men have been
known to reform drinking
habits, sometimes, and the boy
should prove that he has the
grit to give up liquor before he
assumes the responsibility of
marriage which is a bit risky at
%, unless a young man is
steady and has a dependable
Job.
