Food Problem of

BY Dorothy Murray

Serving refreshments is great
problem to almost any one, but
consider the career girls who like
to entertain but find it difficult
when their living accommoda-
tons are so small. Take for ex-
ample. the girls who occupy only
one room. How are they going
to manage the food problem? OF
course, the pastry shops afford
their best bet. Delicious eclairs
filled with cream sauce or
whipped cream. large size pies of
the custard and fruit variety, and
three TERED cakes are easy to
serve. Along with this they may
serve grape juice, ginger ale and
other soft drinks. Ginger ale
mixed with ice cream is tasty, and
boxes of assorted cookies. obtain
able in almost any chain store, 60
well with it. After they have
had "the bunch over few
times, they probably will be look
ing around for something just
little bit different yet almost as
easy to prepare. Small jars of
various canape pastes are not
very expensive and their con-
tents can be spread on crackers
or thin slices of crisp toast. To-
mato juice or vegetable juice
cocktail would be an excellent
beverage.

of the room at a point Is feet
from the front window. Placing
the large chair by the window,
the chest of drawers on one wall
and the phonograph on the
other gave a nice balance.
Then dawned The brilliant
thought of building bookshelves,
placing them at right angles to
the wall, which at one fell swoop
would offer storage space. a back
for the sofa. half partition to
divide the room into a more
workable space. and get by with
the management as it would not
need to be fastened to the wall.
A telephone cali brought 4
boards. 10 inches wide by feet
long, for shelves; 3 boards 40
inches by 10 for ends and center
brace. and 10 feet of wood strip
l inch square. Borrowing a saw
and hammer from the janitor,
she nailed the end pieces to the
long boards, sawed the third
piece to form a brace for the
shelves in the center and then
nailed strips of the one-inch
strip to brace each shelf. AS the
lumber was delivered cut true, it
was not amazing that the book
case sat fair and square when
finished. This was lacquered
dark brown on the outside and
coral color inside. Filled with
books and small treasures, the
arrangement was very good look
ing, and useful.
On the other side of the parti-
ton she placed the drop-leaf
table and two of the straight
chairs. This served for dining
space and desk space. At a junk
yard she picked up a section of a
counter with sliding doors and
shelf within for s150. Scrubbed
with I've and painted dark brown,
it held all the kitchen apparatus
including the electric stove. Over
it tier of hanging shelves re-
peated the coral notes in the

Housecoat for a Very Young Lady
Bv Barbara Bell

Little girls may relax in COM
plete comfort in this flatteringly
fitted housecoat! Or you may
make a practical, pleasing every
day school frock with this same
pattern, No. 1506-B. You will
probably make both for your
daughter, as you can see quickly
that these are becoming styles,
we'll planned in every detail and
so good to look at that they are
bound to win your little girls
heartfelt admiration.
The button-front housecoat
emphasizes its long lines with
pieced bodice treatment which
also shapes the garment properly
at the waistline. The simple
open neck with lapels gives an air
of tailored simplicity-and the
skirt is cut full enough so that it
falls gracefully in thick, heavy
folds. Here is just the robe to
give a daughter who wants to
look grown-up, for the style is
one frequently seen in the larger
sizes. 1t may be made for lux
urious comfort in brocades, MORE,
taffeta or crepe-for warmth in
fiannelette, wool challis or printed
wool crepes.

She's worked long hours at high
speed. But she has liked it all.
Il love my job" she confded
in between visitors, messengers
and telephone calls at her Office
this week. Everything is always
so exciting. I'm glad 1 wasn't a
teacher as I planned"
Il didn't know soul in WASH
ington when I came" she said.
Not anybody. But girl I knew
in college came when 1 did. She
knew another girl. We all went
to a boarding house on Massa-
chusetts avenue and we're still
there. 1t was a girl there who
introduced me last March to a
boy in her office-a second lieu
tenant in the Ordnance Corps.
We're going to be married"
Jane started in being busy long
before she came to Washington.
She was born in Chicago, but
lived in New York, Texas, Cali
fornia and Iowa before going to
Port Clinton her Junior year in
high school. Right away she had
the lead in the Junior play, then
again starred in the senior play
and was graduated as valedic-
torian.
At Ohio Wesleyan for two
years, she joined Chi Omega
Sorority, studied history, and
worked for her board and room
in a cooperative house. After
a business course at Sandusky
the following summer. she
worked five weeks for a lawyer.
Then she went to the State uni
versity in September to open a
book store, selling mimeograph-
ing, tipping and stencils for
exams. She had become secre-
tary to the dean of men when
she received her telegram from
the Government last January.
First worked for the National
Defense Advisory Commission IN
the old Potomac Park Apart
ments," she said. II went into
a pool with IS or 20 girls. After
two or three days, correspondence
needed a girl and the head OF
the pool sent me over to take
dictation and type. After a
week and a half I was sent over
to o. E. M. as Mr.. Fitzgerald's
secretary. That was February l."
Since then, as Fitzgerald's work
has expanded, James has grown.
In front of her desk Jane has
a master national defense chart
and on a side wall a chart of the
Materials Division.
The last II months have been
busy ones, but Jane said she had
managed to see as much of
Washington as possible, and that
she loves the town as well as her
job.

These Should Bring Sweet Dreams
Bv Baroness Phantom

Soft pastel tones add to the
delicateness Of these dainty de-
signs and a variety of fascinating
stitches add to the pleasure of
working them. For the price of
the pattern and few skeins of
embroidery floss you can trans
form six plain pillowcases into six
sleep charmers.
As a truly luxurious gift you
might use pillow slips of the
finest percale, tinted in luscious
shades. Then choose embroidery
floss to harmonic. Perhaps
white slips with colored borders
would be charming, especially
when the border tone is carried
out by clever accenting in the
embroidery.
For an especially thoughtful
gift give some lucky lady a pair
of pillowslips embroidered with
chubby angels.

and hairboWs They don't be-
long in smart settings, so save
EN- for the campus or for your
next hiking jaunt.
AS for going to the theater In
the evening, you can feel per-
fectively safe in wearing dinner
dress if you wish. Opening night
and Saturday night are the
"dressiest" ones, but if you're
swishing down the main orches-
ira aisle any night, it's o. K. to
give the audience a look at your
dinner dress with sleeves. For
any such affair, be 1t opera,
theater or what have you, be sure
your long dress is covered"
Decollete gowns are strictly "out"
for these occasions this year.
In the sWankier dining and
dancing spots around town long
dresses are not required at night,
although they look better, we
think, and certainly are appro-
pirate for supper hour. Here
again. however, it's the covered
up look that wins first prize, and
in less formal gown, even
though it's floor length, you
won't feel silly if your escort
doesn't dress" The supper
crowd is, of course, the smartest
one, so the girls who appear in
blouses and skirts, with their
tousled hair devoid of hats, may
consider themselves as having re-
ceived a sharp slap on the wrist
from ye olde fashion editors.
Wear short dress if it will make
you happier, but be sure it's on
the dressy side, with a suitable,
even though silly, hat.
One problem which pops up
now and then is the business Of
being invited out to dinner and
dancing later, with movie
tossed in to break up the eve
ming. That one throws most
girls into a dither. Shall they
wear a long dress to the movies
or a short dress to the supper
clubs? Even though it looks
like a vicious circle, it really
isn't. Wear your long dress If
you like, for it will be plain and
covered by coat, and you'll
feel better later about your
rumba form. However, if you
don't want to start out in a
floor length dinner gown. invest
in one of the new dressy cock
tail frocks for just such occa-
sions. These are the dresses in
street length which are much
too formal for street, but suffi-
ciently glittery TO carry you
safely past the midnight hour.

Happy Medium
Affer.dark Costume q Problem
By Helen Vopf

To be beautifully frank about
the whole thing, even at the
risk of divulging some secrets of
the trade, it must be admitted
that fashion writers cringe at
the mere mention of practicality.
Most fashion writer's, that is.
It's far more interesting to drift
off in a cloud of editorial ecstacy
about some pink tulle, ermine-
trimmed creation than it is to
talk about a pair of sensible
shoes for the Office. Neverthe-
less, when you come right down
to it, it's the practical, wearable
type Of thing that Is most i'm
portant in fashion. What to
wear and when to wear it," is
the problem that's as constant
as your alarm clock, and just
as annoying.
So many girls, recently ar
rived in the Capital, have asked
about clothes for restaurant din
ing and dancing here that the
problem appears to be a major
one. They must be practical,
but, Womanlike, they insist upon
being as chic and correct as posi-
BILE whether they're having the
50-cent blue-plate-special or an
order of humming birds wings
under glass. So, as an old, old
native of Washington, here's
what we suggest.
If you're dating straight from
the Office, there isn't very much
you can do except to wear your
smartest simple dress and add
dressy accessories which you
have thoughtfully toted from
home in the morning. These may
include some lacy neckpiece,
some after-fve jeWelry or even
tiny muff. If you'll give your
makeup a complete going over.
removing all the old coating and
starting from scratch, you'll feel
comparatively fresh for the cock
tail hour. All cocktail places to-
day require short dresses, of
course, but they may range from
sequin- studded afternoon frocks,
worn by the ladies who come
straight from home, to tailored
suits adopted by many of the
business girls. Please, no droopy
sweaters, ankle socks, moccasins
