Style Chats
BY MARY FENTRESS
United Press Staff Correspondent,


 Paris-The traditional black and white of Paris spring collections is frightened by yellow for warm weather wear. All shades of yellow, varying from a deep golden mus tard to palest tea rose tint will be popular this year.
 A bright yellow is shown every where for sports. cruising and beach wear. As each couturier likes to think that popular new shade has been created originally by him, the same bright shade of yellow is known by a different name at each house. One couturier calls 1t gold" another terms 1t sunshine "a third names the same color "buttercup" and so forth.
 Purple remains popular color at most houses. The deep plum and prune shades of the winter have given way for the real purple and royal blue up the color scale to mauves and orchid. In the latter range of colors there is a lilac blue or hyacinth shade which looks blue in some lights and mauve in others.

 FLOWERY SPRING
Artificial Ones on Your Hat, Your Lapel and
 Decorating FrOcks

Lilly Dache IS responsible for the vogue in artificial flowers. Four years ago she and Maude Moody became interested in the little flow- CT makers, 50 badly in need of em- ployment.
 We are going to bring them back. If we keep on just using felts we will all be out of jobs", said the astute Dache--so every time she went to Paris to buy she would say, I'm interested in flowers-give me something with flowers. the result is that the vogue for flowers is es- tablished not only for hats but new flower accessories are matching gloves, flowers are used in every manner as accent color notes.
 Flower colors are smart for day. time and evening. Molyneux has used artificial flowers with cos- tunes for the past three years lilies, jonqiuls, iris. Mainbocher has been very partial to larger exotic flowers, peoples and roses as accent and decorative notes.
 HID ID u AAOWCL bCdoOIls NIUlCLo have captured the town by such 8 storm that they will probably be very short-lived. It is unfortunate that an over promotion can ruin an idea that is so attractive when used with a little restraint.
 Dache has introduced the orchid as hat decoration and very smart 1t is too, under the skillful hands of this little genius.
 Patou has introduced a new color -Cattleya--this means orchid, be- cause many varieties of the laven- der and deeper toned orchids are members of the Cattleya family; and is the type that first comes to mind when one hears the word, orchid"
 The name derives from that fa- nous and early English horticultur- ist, William Cattley, but that is an- other story. The romance and drama associated with the search for orchids and their transition into a commercial commodity is as great as the romance and drama that is associated with their environment after they leave the florist and are worn by the lady of fashion and distinction.

Food Suggestions
By MRS. MARY E. DAGUE

make border instead of the usual Irish potatoes if you like-more colorful, too. Boil just as you would white potatoes, then put through ricer to make very smooth. Sea- son well with salt. pepper and but ter, then beat in thin cream to make very light and fluffy.
 Planking is one of the most un- usual and most attractive ways to serve fish. Whole fish with fairly thick flesh may be planked whole or split and laid fiat. Steaks and flllets are extra good planked.
 A salad of cress and apple goes well with fish. Choose 8 crisp tart apple and cut in eighths after par ing. Remove core and drop into lemon juice. Let stand in the refrig- orator for an hour or longer to chill thoroughly. When ready to serve, arrange on bed of crisp cool cress and sprinkle with grated cheese. Serve with French dressing.
 For dessert how about old-fash- toned prune whip?
 Prune Whip
 Onc- third pound prunes, 1-2 cup sugar, whites five eggs, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, few grains salt, 1-2 tea spoon vanilla.
 Pick over and wash prunes. Soak and stew as usual. There should be not more than 3-4 cup steWed and pitted prunes. Rub prunes through a colander, add sugar and cook five minutes. The mixture should be thick as marmalade. Let cool. Beat whites of eggs until stiff, beating in a few grains of salt Gradually beat in prune mixture and lemon juice and vanilla. Turn into buttered baking dish and bike 50 minutes in a slow oven (300 degrees F0. Serve cold with soft custard made with the youlks of egg or with whipped cream.

Contrast is the keynote of the successful fish dinner-contrast in color, texture and taste.
 A tart sauce for the fish improves the flavor and the fish itself de- termines whether this sauce shall or shall not be rich with butter. The varieties of fish we term lean fish need more seasoning in their cooking, too. The richly favored varieties need comparatively little fat and seasoning.
 You prepare a planked fish dinner much as you do planked steak. Add two or three vegetables in ad- dition to the border and there's your dinner all on the plank.
 Heat your plank, which has been well oiled, in 8 hot oven (400 de- grees F), for 10 minutes. Arrange the fish on 1t and if you are cooking a lean fish like bluefish brush with melted lemon butter. Sprinkle with

best sort of intelligence. 1t will carry

But on the other hand one may possess
nothing but social intelligence Put

w YHY was that piece of Snake
A skin hanging from the
Wv doorway of the home of
Cresty the Flycatcher?
Well, to begin with, neither Cresty
nor Mrs. Cresty would have felt
satisfied with their home had they
not had at least piece of Snake skin
In it. They had spent lot of time
hunting for that skin. In fact. it was
several days after the remainder Of the
nest had been finished before that
piece of Snake skin had been found,
and Mrs. Cresty simply had refused
to have anything more to do with that
nest until piece of Snake skin could
be found.
You know, my dear" said she,
"we've always had Snake skin in our
nest. There was Snake skin in the
nest in which I was Matched. 1t al
ways has been used in my family"
Cresty nodded. Il know, my dear"
said he. Il know all about it. 1t was
just the same way in my family. A
Crested Flycatchers nest without
piece of Snake skin in it wouldn't be
right at all. I don't know that it
would be a disgrace, but certainly I
wouldn't feel right to have a nest
without it. l would feel that if the
neighbors found it out, they would
think there was something wrong
with our eyes. or that we were not
smart enough to find Snake skim
Il suppose" said Mrs. Cresty, that
a lot of people wonder why we insist
on having a piece of Snake skin in
our home"
We'll, my dear" replied Cresty,
"why do we insist on such material?"
Mrs. CreSty hesitated. She looked
confused. Il suppose said she at
last, when you come right down to
facts, 1t is mostly because our fam
lily has always used it. l suppose,
really, we do it because it seems the
thing TO do"
Cresty nodded. There's a lot of
truth in that" said he. Yes, sir,
there's lot of truth in that. How
ever, I've been noticing things"
- What have you been noticing?"
asked Mrs. Cresty curiously.
I've noticed" replied Cresty, that
nobody seems to like Snake skin ex-
cept ourselves. Certainly no one else
uses it in nest, and I've noticed that
when some of the other feathered
folk see it, they keep away from it."
Mrs. Cresty nodded in agreement.

The Old Gardener Says:

Homemakers frequently ask
why their evergreens die. In
jury by dogs may be prevented
by placing wire screens around
the plants. Summer drought is
a common cause of loss, for it is
very important to keep newly
planted shrubs moist, especially
the first year. They should be
given thorough soaking once or
twice a week. If three deep holes
are made with a crowbar around
each plant and water poured
down these holes until they will
take no more, the roots will be
well supplied with moisture. Not
tnfrequently evergreens are
planted 4 or inches deeper than
they had stood in the nursery.
This is mistake. They should
be only an inch deeper. Some
evergreens, particularly hem
locks, are very sensitive to drying
winds and should be planted in
a sheltered location. Insuffi-
cient drainage is sometimes the
cause of loss. Very few ever
greens like wet feet.
