Handsome Plaids
Come Into Picture

Coats, dresses, capes, jacket suits
are being made of handsome plaids.
Made up in the new coolie jackets,
plaids top a monotone colored skirt.
Capes of plaid bring drama into
the spring style parade. These capes
are long, and the style touch is
achieved in epaulet effects formed
of fringe.

fresh tea is needed. A large sauce
pan works like a charm for such
teamaking. Tie 6 tablespoons of tea
loosely in 2 thicknesses of cheese
cloth. Place the bag in the sauce
pan and pour 2 quarts of vigorously
boiling water over it. Cover and let
stand for just 5 minutes over very
low heat. Then pour the tea i'm
mediately into teapot which has
been rinsed with scalding water.
The tea bag can be removed and
the remainder of the tea kept over
low heat until it is needed.
If it is part of your job to buy the
tea accompaniments - the sugar,
lemon and cream-remember that
there are about 30 tablets of sugar
in 1-pound box and that you should
count on 2 per serving. Allow 2
tablespoons of coffee cream per
serving-a pint and half of cream
will be more than sufficient for Is
persons. Allow also l slice of lem
on per serving. A large. lemon
makes about 10 slices, Is inch thick.
Then, should you be asked to bring
two or three kinds of cookies or
several dozen midget tea cakes,
here are recipes that will make your
tea contribution outstanding. There
are fruit cake fingers rolled in
chopped almonds and toasted in the
oven, simple-to-make tidbit that
has a special affinity for hot, clear
tea served with lemon. The small
almond finger biscuits have pale
beige frosting and are fragile
enough even for a BRIDES tea.
Amusing as can be are the Swedish
nut waters, which are baked on the
bottom of bread pans, cut into strips
and nodded over a rolling pin into
crisp semi-circles.

 IN STAMPS
Portuguese Guinea Moy Be Atlantic Air Base

STAMP collectors may soon be
 paying particular attention to Portuguese Guinea. This tiny West African colony has been tentatively selected as eastern terminal of new South Atlantic air route. It is closer to South America than Dakar, the former base, now a trouble center in French colonial strife.
 Portugal's possession of Guinea dates from the nations 14th century era of maritime greatness, commemorated by the Vasco da Cana stamp above. Portuguese sailors inaugurated the age of dis covery and exploration.
 Da Cana found the route to In- dia, which lured Columbus west ward, by rounding the Cape of Good Hope. He reached Calicut in 1498, had to battle his way out of the harbor when natives be- came hostile.
 Later, Portugal established a trading post in Ca1icut but the Portuguese were murdered. Da Cana led a squadron of 20 ships to avenge them, bombarded Cali cut, retm ned with rich prizes. In 1923 he returned to India as vice. roy, died in Cochin soon after his arrival. D
