PATTERN 921 SMART STYLE WITH FLARING PEPLUM

Turn your back smartly on winter with the aid of this winsome little frock. Its silhouette fairly vibrates youth and Spring spirits. The spe- cial back interest is in that pert, rip bling peplum that fastens on with a front-tying sash. A wonderful way to camouflage your hipline and nar- row your waist. Without the pep- lum, the frock is equally smart and effective. Those soft bodice lines are created by darts that radiate all around the front neckline, making decorative effect whether or not you decide to use a bow of lace or eye let-embroidered organdie. The skirt is made to fit smoothly at the hips, with a becoming flare below, and it's cut in just two pieces. Have either long or short sleeves. Why not choose a smart navy-and-white printed silk or synthetic and trim 1t with a white bow-a fresh Spring combination. Don't fail to use the Sewing Guide to make a profess sional-looking job of Claire Tilden's Pattern 921.
 Pattern 921 is cut in misses and women's sizes 12, IA, 16, IS, 20, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40. Size 16 re- quires 3 3-4 yards 39 inch fabric and IA yard contrast.

Modern Menus
BY MRS. GAYNoR MADDOX

You begin with plain baked beans. Use them from cans or else buy pea or small white beans, and bake them in a crock the way our grand mothers did, Be sure you use plenty of nnolasses, lots of salt pork and some mustard when you set out on home baking spree.
 A luncheon, or even dinner, of baked beans in small pots, broiled ham garnished with broiled fruits, c large bowl of green salad and c fluffy dessert is @ worthy suggestion. Down Long Island way, in East Hampton, the local ladies put their heads together recently and turned out a cook book. It was published by the towns Ladies' Improvement Society. Here's how the East Hamp- ton experts like beans:
 Baked Bean Casserole By Betty Lynch y Six tablespoons minced green peppers, 2 cups sliced peeled onions, { tablespoons butter, 2 Ia cups baked beans, 3 peeled and sliced tomatoes, 3-4 teaspoon salt, 2 table, spoon salt, 2 tablespoons brown sugar.
 saute peppers, and onion in but ter until tender. Arrange with beans and tomatoes in alternate layers in greased casserole. Sprin- kle each layer with Q little of the brown sugar and with salt. Bake in moderate oven (360 degrees F.) until Drowned about AS minutes
 Texas Bean Pie
 A Texas bean pie, via Mrs. Da- vid Edwards, of East Hampton Long Island, used dried kidney beans. It's a masterful dish.
 One-half pound dried kidney beans, 1 pound lean beef fat, l onion, 1 clove garlic, l teaspoon salt, tablespoon each of chili powder and Worcestershire sauce water, large can tomatoes, Ia cup yellow cornmeal, medium can ripe olives. cup grated American cheese.
 Soak beans in water overnight, Heat fat in saucepan, saute beef cut in Ia inch cubes. Turn fre- quently, then add beans, onion (sliced), garlic, salt, chili pow der, Worcestershire and water enough to cover. Simmer until the meat and beans are tender Add tomatoes and yellow corn- meal moistened with c little wa ter. Cook until thick and moist, Then add sliced ripe olives, Pour into baking dish and sprinkle top with grated cheese. Brown in oven until cheese melts.

l WNOA@Oo
 In a talk about sore mouth re- gently I cited a report on studies of "electrogalvanic phenomena of the oral cavity caused by dissimilaT metallic restorations," which the investigators, Everett S. Lain, M D. and c. Sherrill Caughron, D. D. s. presented in the Journal of the American Dental Association
 Then later evidently assuming, like Hitler, that the world could take 1t, I perpetrated another one, namely, bradycardia--but 1t seemed I was still rather tilnid about 1t, for 1 took pains to explain at once that bradycardia means slow heart.
 Nothing happened. Well, well, l decided, have my readers intirni- dated at last. Now let's go. And the very next day hauled of and handed them an article with Q title calculated to appall nearly every body: "The Ubiquitous Pneumococ- cus."
 But not quite everybody. A small, harmless well-meaning grandmoth- CT" who, judging from letters I have received from her now and again, is right up on her toes, in- quries whether I have ever suffered from "electrogalvanic phenomena of the oral cavity" and fears she would if she even attempted to mouth" the lengthy and awful dis eases and remedies am expound- ing these days. Why not, she adds, completely disarming me, why not cut down the jaw breakers to such simple terms as pr. Brady (Op Doc to you, Grandma) has popularized to express SO much to ordinary folk such as "cri" and "vite?"
 A swift uppercut that catches me of balance with my neck out does more good than all the bewildering passes, and l thank Grandma E.. E. U. for 1t and promise to give her letter a preferred place in my scrapbook.
 Is my face red? Indeed If the punishment fitted the crime that wouldn't be all.
 Tn extenuation for the first of- fense, I was quoting the title of the article (for the benefit of the minority of readers who generally want to know the source). But that makes the second and third offenses all the more fragrant doesn't 1t? Very well, I'll go quietly, only please believe there was no malice afore- thought in these divertisements. They may even keep many readers more or less interested who would otherwise pass this column up. For instance, I was agreeably inflated by a letter from a high school girl who said the English composition class used my column in daily class workout somewhat dabbergasted to learn that 1t was e rare day when the class could not find one or more errors to criticise.
 Painful though 1t be to affirm the fact, 1t is as true as ever, that the less @ doctor knows about the sub- ject the more ponderous and inn- posing terms he uses in referring to 1t, and vice versa.
