Menus
BY MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX
NEA Service STAFF Writer

There's a new gadget born every
minute.
Now comes a new kitchen mincer
that chops, CRATES and grinds raw
and cooked meats, vegetables and
fruits. 1t is inexpensive and will
serve in place Of the larger and
sturdier food grinder until the bud
get gets stronger.
This small food mincer looks like
food strainer. 1t has two clutch
ing feet with suction cups that hold
1t for dear life to the table. It has
a long holding handle and another
curved handle attached to the cut
ting blade.
Underneath the bottom of the
container compartment there Is a
screw which adjusts the cutting
blade according to the consistency
of the food to be ground.
Rust and Acid Resistant
To use, cut food into small pieces,
turn blade handle forward and
backward in short movements-and
presto, on to the plate below drop
your ground and minced foods. This
gadget is rust and acid resistant,
easy to clean and does good grind
ing job for its size and low cost.
If your life In the kitchen is just
a series Of hastings. strainings, and
rinsings, you'll welcome the new
food mill. 1t works on the same
principle as the kitchen mincer just
described. BY turning handle
which controls the cutting blade,
you work in the food in the round
container compartment and soon II
falls through into the saucepan.
New Ice Chopper
And II your passion for little CAD
gets is not yet satisfied. start in
breaking up ice cubes with the new
Jumping up and down" ice pick
which chops up cubes right in the
glass but never breaks the glass.
1t looks like o regular ice pick. but
with these important differences
there are 5 sharp points arranged
In the pick head in such O way that
they touch all Of the ice cube at
the same time and break 1t into tiny
pieces without breaking even a very
thin glass.
This gadget has q steel hammer
and 3 bronze spring In the handle
So TO chop your Ice cubes. very
little pressure Is needed. The handle
has another use-on II are printed
six very popular cocktail recipes.

THE YOUNGER GENERATION
A reader asks for an article

smoking invariably iimpairs the
expectant mothers health more or

the child born Of q smoking mother

I believe this Notwithstanding the

The reader asked me 70 give my
opinion and I have done So may
be wrong. Nobody knows.
A good suggestion has been
made by Henry @. Link. Ph.D., d.
rector Of the psychological service
center, New York city, who points
out that smoking Is a mechanism

habitual motions which become In

that Is hard to resist or interrupt.
The process consists Of lifting the
package, extracting a cigarette,
tamping one end, placing 1t In the
mouth, striking a light, inhaling
the first puff or two Of smoke.
Only because I am trying hard
not to be nice I refrain from add
ing that the smoker then glances
about to see whether the perform
ance thus far has been effective.
Habitual smokers, especially ex-
cessive smokers, generally resort
to smoking as a convenient way Of
covering incompetence, inability, in
adequacy, inferiority. They smoke
instead Of DOING SOMETHING.
People who smoke excessively sell

Young people who 90 In for real
exercise, play or work do not crave

They get real stimulation from the

absorption OF oxygen. that goes

people do not smoke because they

one thing, and then I look back on
its arbitrary methods little kindly.
Children learned facts for the most
part, but oh, how these facts stuck |!
some way or other 1t was borne In
on each child that knowledge was a
very precious thing. 1t was q privi-
1ege to learn. There was no compul-
sorry education up to l6 or IS.
Learned Slowly Then
To 60 back through the years, !
remember well that I was still read
ing pages haltingly and fearfully
about ladies with fine fans and bum
mics with cotton tails, when was
tn the third grade. Recently q boy
under seven read to me from the
newspaper astonishingly well.
Here Is the difference. Today's
schools realize that mental powers
are stimulated by variety, and they
open wider fields to child's view.
Their curriculum Is twice as inter-
esting as before. The approach to
study takes into consideration
child nature and the likes and dis
likes Of children. Indeed, although ]
believe the interest-motive some
what overdone at times, it has taken
the DOGGY man out of school.
And here I must give credit to
the writers of childrens books. No
wonder children know so much these
days, what with school. supplement
tary reading, the radio and the
movies. These are all school," you
see. We think of school too often
as walls and desks.
But There's 3 Flaw
There is possibly no other coun-
cry where general education may be
picked up so freely as 1t is here. It is
in the air. But now for the flaw that
mars the picture a little. Today's
children are more mature mentally,
but there Is greater emotional i'm
maturity and indifference. The
teen-agers are often less adult, in
spite Of their sophistication. than

Fall Bridal Gown May Be Quaint
Or Modernistically Streamlined
Attendants Wear
FrOckS to Match
Brides Attire
BY MARIAN YOUNG
A saruina STAR Cnrresnnnhentl

(NEA Service STAR Correspondent
New York.-This falls bride may
march to the flower-trimmed altar
in gown as quantity picturesque
as an old-fashioned garden or she
may wear one as modern as q
streamlined train. There are no set
rules about the type Of wedding
dress she should choose. She can let
her individual taste be her guide.
When 1t comes to the subject Of
color, however, convention steps In
and DEGREES anew that whites the
thing for the bride who plans q
formal wedding. She can dress her
attendants In any or several colors
that please her and are becoming
to them, but she'll do well to re-
member that the smartest brides
pick plain white for themselves.
Cream white Bouffant
Among the bouffant gowns, one OF
MORE, white lace, white velvet and
white taffeta are among the most
popular fabrics. And white silk
jersey which lends itself admirably
TO intricate draping is widely fea-
tured in the most exclusive bridal
shops,
Among the bouffant gowns, one
of cream white MORE, ever o gen.
uine hoopskirt, Is outstanding.
With tight bodice, bracelet-length
sleeves, puffed at the shoulders, and
O softly draped, off-the-shoulder
decolletage, this Is utterly charming,
With 1t, the bride may carry an
old-fashioned bouquet Of assorted
white flowers.
It's q new Idea to put the maid
Of honor snd the bridesmaids In
copies OF the wedding gown itself.
For instance, bride In bouffant
dress might have her attendants
wear bouffant frocks exactly like
her own except that theirs would
be In colors-her's In white.
Smart color schemes for fall
include: the maid Of honor In
creamy golden brown, carrying
q sheaf Of orange and yellow flow
ers, and the maids In shades Of
yellow and pale orange.
Also, the maid Of honor In q deep
yellow gown with brown velvet rib
bon sash and the bridesmaids In
delft blue dresses with yellow and
brown velvet sasheS. All might
carry bouquets Of yellow and blue
flowers. In all cases, though their
gowns are cut alike, the bride wears
veil and the attendants wear
hats. This fall, they are more likely
to wear tiny, flower trimmed doll
hats than huge cartwheels.
Dinner Dress rs Gown
For an informal wedding at home,
the fall bride might wear q floor
length dinner dress with sleeves,
either long or short, and q small
hat of flowers atop her upswept
couture. In this case, she would
choose some other color than white.
Her maid of honor would wear
similar type Of dress In a harmo-
mixing color.
The bride who Is going TO be mar
ried In daytime dress usually
chooses suit In which she can
travel later. 1t may be In silk or
wool, depending on the weather,
New and chic are simply but not
mannishly tailored silk dresses with
contrasting jackets. One pretty silk
model In q soft, deep shade Of gray
has a mustard yellow jacket in
heavier silk that Stimulates suede.
With this, the bride might wear
dark gray shoes with mustard yellow
platform soles, gray suede bag,
white gloves and gray hat with
a mustard flower or ribbon.

out-of- the ordinary, that makes for

at that, is q small heart-shaped
bag Of calf with q slide-fastener
closing. which slips over a narrow
