the sailor type dresses with U. 3. A.
printed on the vestee. For real ex-
citement, there are party dresses OF
taffeta or tulle that should make
some little girl look like storybook
princess. Quilted robes also are good
choices, and if you see them in size
you'll go mad with admiration.
There also are flannel robes in a
very military manner, complete with
epaulets.
For Lois, who Is II, Gloria chose q
Tyrolean sweater and a birthstone
ring. These are good ideas for the
perplexed mother or auntie, too. Our
choice for Lois, we say poetically,
would be some Of the new Tyrolean
belts, sweaters and ear muffs to go
with the sweater. Or perhaps a
hood in this same motif. Corduroy
lounging pajamas, also with a nau-
tical air, are q good choice, and If
Lois happens to be a Girl Scout,
she'll adore any Of the complete
equipment offered. There's even a
charm bracelet with symbolic en-
blems on 1t.
In the "teen-age" group are
dresses with American flag pins on
the bodice and lots of jumpers in
various versions. ''Dressy" jumpers
are of black velveteen with white
satin blouses; less formal ones of
wool or corduroy are equally at
tractive. Floor length evening
dresses are very much in order for
this set and our favorite is of
white taffeta banded in red velvet
and worn with a red velvet bolero.
Fleecy two-piece suits that only a
youngster could wear are composed
of red jacket and green skirt-both
in bright tones and very perky.
Also charming in the accessory line
are muffs Of fur, some done N the
form Of bunnies or Kittens. Suede
jerkin and beanie cap sets are just
as smart as can be-and extremely
"grownup" looking.
But to get back to our typical
example, Gloria's choice for sister
Odlly, dSCQ AZ, WdS a IOillplClC Sndt
ing outfit with hood and white shoe
skates. These are excellent for girls
Of every age and come in q great
variety of styles and types. One
piece or two-piece skating suits are
available and can be matched up

Sally is also old enough to appre-
ciate a bolero evening wrap of white
bunny fur and would welcome a
number of sweaters and skirts as
well.
Gloria's own Christmas wishes

fruit, with excellent keeping quail
ties. With a box or bag of prunes
on the supply shelf, 1t is possible to
fill gap in any one Of the days
meals. There's economy in serving
prunes. too, for each pound yields
about II servings at a surprisingly
low cost.
Prunes also have a good batting
average on the food value score. The
supply Of iron Is major point in
favor Of prunes, and they also fur
nish some calcium. This Is especially
important, because these two min
erals must be checked constantly in
the average diet. Besides iron and
calcium, prunes furnish some vita
min B1 and some vitamin A. But
don't depend on prunes for vitamin
c. because most of that important
vitamin Is lost when the prunes are
dried.
Starting at the beginning of the
day-prunes fit smoothly into the
breakfast menu as the fruit course,
or to change the flavor Of the cooked
cereal.
Prunes are so easy to cook that it
seems almost impossible to 60
wrong. However, there is a right
way to cook any dried fruit-a quick
way that makes the prunes plump
and juicy. makes them smooth and
shiny on the outside. Simply wash
the prunes and put them in a sauce
pan. cover with hot water, and let
them soak for about an hour. Then
put the prunes on to cook in the
same water. Cook them for about a
half-hour, or until they are tender.
Serve warm or cold.
That's all there is to cooking
prunes, unless you like little addi-
tional sweetening and seasoning. In
that case, add about two tablespoons
Of sugar for each cup Of prunes just
before they are done. A little salt
added at the cooking time and 8
sprinkling Of lemon juice at serving
time enhance their flavor. If the
prunes are intended as part of the
meat course, plan to serve them hot
adding sugar and spice and vine

Just the right blend Of sweet-sour-
spice for toning up.

TryE Exercise
Instead of
Dieting
Routine Suggested
For Slenderizing
Hips and Thighs
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

To put women quickly into pretty
shape for the winter season, a we'll
known salon in New York has whip
ped up a special refashioning course
Of exercises from which we have bor-
rowed to help you reduce too-large
hip and thigh measurement.
The salon stresses exercise more
than dieting to slim hips and thighs
They claim that If one dieted suffi-
ciently to reduce hips and thighs
quickly. ones face would look
strained and other figure measure
ments would suffer. In fact this
salon is very firm about taking dill
gent care Of your skin and hair
while you are reducing for they are
CONVINCED that too many women
neglect the necessary beauty routine
while they are reducing
But let's get on with the hippy
problem-here is "squaddle" move
ment which is stolen from a football
coach's routine. 1t Is excellent for
keeping hips boyish and for reducing
fabbiness on inner thighs:
Squat by bending knees. Bend
elbows and raise hands to touch
shoulders. palms facing outward.
Straighten the upper part Of your
body by drawing in your abdomen,
raising your chest and holding your
head proudly erect. Now hobble
about the room in this squatting po-
sition, being certain that the thighs
do the work of moving the legs for
ward. When you feel strained let
yourself 60 and tumble on the floor
each tumble is reducing to the
buttocks.
When you have walked forward
In this position for three or four
minutes, then walk backward. Move
quickly so both legs are in action at
the same time. Naturally the more
rapidly you can move about the more
quickly your hip measurement will
decrease!
Another exercise is difficult to
comprehend but not so dimcult to do.
You must, however, have a large
cleared space In which to throw your
legs about.
Sit with left leg outstretched to
side, right knee bent so right foot
touches left thigh. Raise hands and
arms, chest and head so your spine
will be in good position-you may
bend your elbows.
Now by balancing and rolling the
body on the buttocks. lift both legs
of the floor at once and swing them
to reversed positions which means
your right leg will be outstretched
at side and your left leg bent 50 foot
will touch your right thigh.
This threshing from side to side
must be done rapidly and rhythmic
ally and both legs must move simul-
taneously, and under no circum-
stances must you use your arms or
hands to help you-they are held up
in the air.
This exercise, once mastered, Is .
honey for reducing midriff, tummy,
thighs and hips.
If you practice just these two exer-
cises every day for a month you will
be able to slip into a size smaller
gown and be ever so much more agile
and graceful than you are now with
q too-heavy hip line.

Afternoon Treat

Here Is a delicious tid-bit to try
on the bridge club: Make up
rich biscuit dough and pat it out
until about one-third Of an inch
thick. Spread with butter and cover
with a generous layer of white
cream cheese and peanut butter.
Sprinkle with broken nut meats and
roll up. Cut off half-inch slices,
place fiat sides up in a creased pan
and bake for 10 minutes in a mod
crate oven. Serve hot with fruit,
fish or meat salad. No additional
butter will be needed.
