PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

Paris (UP) - Madame Jacques Balsan, the former Consuelo Van redbilt, has gone in for black and pink in a printed crepe afternoon ensemble from Molyneux.
 For evening wear, this expon- ent of high society has selected a mammoth navy taffeta sash. Pearl White (surely you remem- Der the "Perils of Pauline" in the
 early movie thrillers?) has such a yen for tomatoes that she had Molyneux make her a tomato red crepe afternoon outfit sprinkled over with large white dots. And although you may make a wry face on first hearing it, the dress has a wide sash of pink organdie! Don't squirm so, because the pink | is a sort of a pale tomato which in no way clashes-on the con-
 trary it blends perfectly and yet gives a tremendously novel effect in color combinations. You'd like
 it, really.
 For parties in the country, this
 dressmaking house suggests some thing on the order of a frock they
 made recently for Miss Nancy Hollingsworth in pale blue crinkly
 crepe with a big checked linen sash.
 The real purpose of our men,
 tioning these various costumes is
 to get across to you the inevit- ableness of sashes at just this point
 in the season. It makes little diff
 ference what the sash is made of
 or how it blends or contrasts, as long as a sash accompanies the frock, srs .s-

Sister MayS Kitchen
By MARY E. DAGUE lNEA Service Stan Writerl

Picnics are often badly, balanced as far as food values go because of the filings which are too rich in protein and not rich enough in vitamins.
 Meat and cheese sandwiches or dinarily carry better than other varieties, but if vegetable sand wiches are carefully made and packed they. too may be kept for several hours in good condition.
 Whn salad dressing is used in sandwiches 1t should be thick dressing that will not separate and run when touched with vegc- table juice. An oil dressing or true mayonnaise will not stand up in sandwiches for any length of time, so a cooked dressing of cus- tard-like consistency is better. An oil dressingfi, however, is delicious for sandwiches that are to be used for porch and lawn meals at home.
 Where Dressing Is Needed
 Lettuce needs a dressing. but many oither vegetables are better without it. If dressing is used with other vegetables, include d lettuce layer next to the bread to prevent the bread from absorbing the dressing.
 Onion sandwiches certainly need no dressing. Peel and slice onions and let stand in cold salt water to cover for one hour. One tea spoon. salt to one medium sized onion is good proportion to use. Drain and chop very fine. Put between thin slices of bread and butter.
 Finely minced cabbage. celery and carrot make good combina- tion for vegetable sandwiches. These sandwiches will endure sev- eral hours of packing and jolting and heat and still be palatable. A thin coating of butter should be spread on one side of each slice of bread. Butter not only materi- ally increases the food value of the sandwich, but also aids in pre- venting the bread from absorbing the filling.
 If you use meat filling for sandwiches it's good. plan 10 add lettuce. The lettuce furnishes ] greenness and bulk. Trim the let tuce to fit the bread and there will be no .unappetizing wilted edges to wangle into the mouth. To keep fiavors from getting mixed up. wrap each kind of sand wich separately, and If possible each sandwich. Use heavy waxed paper which excludes air. TOmorrOw's Menu
