Their chosen recipes they saved
until last to show me. One was
a pineapple mixed grill that is .
whole meal in itself and is ideal
for simple kitchenette cooking,
and hamburg patties that gain q
new flavor from beer added in the
recipe instead Of milk or water.
Two other recipes gloried over
can not be given because Of lack
of space. One was submitted by
Mrs. Ellis, of 81 Longfellow Ave.
N. W., and is for pork pie with
sweet potato biscuits; the other
beef doves submitted by Mrs. Dell
Gilbert Sale, Of 1346 Park Rd. N.
W., made from cabbage leaves
filled with seasoned chopped beef
and rice and simmered In tomato
sauce.
Mary had tasted a dish some
thing like that when she visited
her aunt in Pennsylvania, and
loved it's taste and the attractive

Today we show quite Q loud
stripe. loud only in that the
stripe looks a little bright against
its dark background. The stripes
are spaced closely, and thought
they are a little prominent. they
are, indeed, smart. You'd better
get accustomed to them, for they
are well on the way.
These bright stripes, as they are
called by the clothing men, came
to us for two reasons. One was the
Jubilee celebration in London last
summer, when the English tailors
developed more colorful attire for
men. just to put them in the
Jubilee spirit, we suppose. The
other is the fact that with the
gradual return to prosperity, all Of
us are wearing more cheerful
clothes.
For Good Fashion
So, after all, it's the prominence
of the stripe that makes this suit
smart. And there's more contrast
in the eye of the camera than the
eye Of the beholder, for the pattern
does not make a loud looking
suit at all.
Stripes are smarter in double
breasted models than in single.

Bureau Of Investigation agents, had
$i,88l in his pockets and $470 in his
apartment, all of which Is believed by
G-men to have been proceeds Of
recent bank robberies in the Midwest.
Brunette, with Merle Vandenbush,
Is charged with three bank robberies
in Wisconsin, the most recent being
that Of the Citizens State Bank at
Monroe on November IT, six days
after the kidnapping Of the Jersey
State trooper.

more about his activities and those
OF his fugitive companion, Vandenbush.

his men hemmed Brunette in the

Several weeks ago they were added
by the F. B. I. to the small group OF
public enemies whom the bureau
has deemed important enough to be-
come the subject Of special wanted

being distributed throughout the
Nation.
