~ LOUISE interest never wanes
- because blouse needs are al
ways with us. Travellers are
- on the lookout for a good,
dark, serviceable blouse. and those
who are returning to town want some
thing to pep up" their Summer suits
and carry them smartly into the next
season. The easiest and quickest way
of freshening up an outfit is via a
new blouse. The effect of different
collar, fabric and color turns the trick
every time.
Investigating the local blouse situa-
ton. we have discovered that.
strangely enough, the newest arrivals
seem to be among the lower price
ranges, which is all to the good from
many standpoints. Some departments
are expecting their new shipments to
arrive almost any day now and others
already have some models on hand,
and the sales of Summer blouses are
certainly worthy Of attention, espe-
cially to finish out this month and the
one following.
We have some advance information
on the highlights of the season to
give you and then will describe some
of the presentations in local shops.
4 y
A S TO fabrics, satin seems to head
y the list of favorites, with taffeta
and lightweight woolens for sport
blouses in great profusion and sheers
for dressy models. The buying trend
as reported by one large firm shows
that black is the biggest individual
seller in satins at the moment, fol-
lowed by white, gold and crushed
rose. This precedence of black is
shown throughout the market, includ-
ing all prices.

There are few desserts that are as
wholesome for young and old as
these frozen sweets The Bureau OF
Home Economics of the United States
Department of Agriculture says:
Besides the millions of pounds of
ice cream We buy In Summer, we
make, all told, unguessable quantities
at home, especially in these days OF
freezing -made-easy. 1t used to take,
at the simplest, only pan OF cracked
ice and salt and bowl Of whipped
cream, sweetened and favored. to
make the kind of ice cream to which
we apply the French word mousse
With a mechanical refrigerator and
its convenient freezing unit, making
mousse is simpler still. With home
the crank we may add ice creams and
ices galore to the list of home freezes,
especially while the homegrown fruits
are here.
I'm flavor. mousse may be as varied
as any other ice cream. But mousse
is still freeze Other ice creams
and the sherbets and ices must be
stirred as they freeze. and for this
we need freezer with a dasher.
In other words" says the bureau.
'the texture of a frozen dessert
its softneSS and smoothness to
the tongue-depends largely on the
size of the crystals that form as it
freezes, and there are different ways
of controlling the crystals. To be
soft enough to eat at all, the mixture
must be frozen in small crystals, and
not in a solid block of ice such as
forms when water stands at freezing
temperature. What freezes in ice
cream, however, Is the water that is
in the cream and perhaps in the fla
voring To make the ice crystals
small, the water particles must some
how be interfered with and kept apart
as they freeze. In any ice cream this
interference Is provided partly by the
fat particles which mingle with the

Additional interference is provided
in mousse by whipping air into the
cream before freezing it; in other ice
cream by stirring constantly as the
freezing goes on.
MOUSSE, then, which is French

frozen foam. The cream is heavy

it, and the air bubbles, together with
fat particles, interfere with the COM

crystals, and Of small ice crystals into

mousse, whip the cream. sweeten and
flavor it, pour it into the drawer OF
the freezing unit of mechanical re-
frigerator, and leave it. Or set the
