Give New Interest DID, Familiar Vegetables by Unusual Treatment
By Dorothy Murray.

Those of us who are fortunate
enough TO possess lovely JeWelry
should keep it sparkling by cleaning
it regularly with a new and quick
special fluid. This is made TO give
jewelry the luster that 1t should
have. 1t is inexpensive and comes
in a large jar with little brush
attached so that you can scrub OUT
the small particles Of dirt that are
caked around the settings. All one
has to do is place the jewelry in
the liquid, leave it for a short while,
scrub with the brush and then wipe
1t off with a clean, dry cloth.
Place in your recreation room q
regular size ping pong table. 1t Is
marked according TO the official
rules of the game and is finished
in green. The table is made OF
wood and has folding legs so that
it may be easily stored. When en-
tertaining a large party use 1t as
banquet table, for at least II persons
can be seated around 1t.
Both young and old are going in
for ice skating in large way. II
you are one of those who have not
yet tried, purchase a pair of skates
and begin learning. Skates come
attached to high shoes which are
good for supporting the ankles and
may be secured in either black or
white. Be sure to inquire which
type of blade is better for the be-
ginner, as there are several different
kinds.
Smart initial book ends would go
we'll in living room furnished in
modern style. These large letters
are made of wood and are placed
on a chromium strip which Is
slipped under the books.
Other items in the initial line are
salt and pepper shakers. These are
made of pottery and come in pale
shades Of green, blue and pink. They
would make a smart gift for a
kitchen shower. d. ..
Have you seen the tiny silver
plated powder ladies? These are very
attractive and certainly would be

compact with loose powder.
A must" for your kitchen is the
new knife sharpener that is easy TO
use, saves time, produces sharp
edges quickly. but protects the finish
of stainless steel blades. Unlike the
old type, it has a wooden handle
which makes it very easy TO
hold.
Another must" on your list Is
spreading spatula. 1t is really a
three -in-one and would be good for
picking up large slices of steak. OF
stainless steel, it has colored wooden
| handle. and is very easy to use. {.
When serving coffee after dinner
use a lovely set of English bone
china cups and saucers. fitted on
metal rack. The saucers are stacked
on the base Of the rack and the
cups hang from small hooks on the
handle. 1t not only helps to keep
the china from getting broken, but
is easy to carry. &. E.

At a treacherous time like this, with
contagious colds all around you,

made the most of each kind.
Now, however we're spoiled. Be-
cause we have all sorts of vegetables
practically the whole year around,
we soon find that even the erstwhile
dencacies pail, and become monot-
onous. We don't get much kick out
of artichokeS or fresh green beans
when we can buy them any day!
So the problem of variety rears its
head once more, and until the eX-
perts can produce some new and
undreamed of vegetables for our
delectation. we must use all our
ingenuity to provide interesting ways
of dressing up the ones that we
have.
A clever combination of two or
more vegetables is often just the
answer-and the use of a piquant
sauce also offers a successful form
of disguise. 1t doesn't really cost
any more to whip up unusual con-
eoctions in this way-and it does
bring a newness and freshness to
the menu that will be more than
welcomed by the entire household.
We're giving you today few
recipes along these lines, using vege-
tables now plentiful and inexpensive,
canned products among them. And
we feel sure that if you just let
your own imagination go" occa-
eionally. you'll even think up lots
better ones for yourself. that may
easily become favorites of both your
family and your guests.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have wanted a draped dressing
table before window with the cur
tain draped back on each side OF 1t.
but my bedroom has only one win
dow, at one end of the room, and l
am afraid it would not be practical
to open the window just above it.
Can you suggest a way TO use the
draped dressing table in 9. corner or
some other part of the room where
1t would be attractive? G.. N. B.
Answer-If your one window is at
one end of the room, you might bal
ance the other end of the wall by
taking" a window over the dresser.
Fasten a piece of mirror onto the
wall the size of the lowest sash
of the real window. Place matching
curtains of the ruff1ed marqulSette
variety on a curtain roc just like
YOU have used them over the real
window. Place your dresser against
the glass and tie the curtains back
on either side of it. The illusion,
on entering the room will be that
you have two windows and it may
help the balance of the room as well
as give you the dressing table you
want.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have several old tablecloths
which have good sections in them
that would make place doihes or
trayclothS. 1t occurred to me that
these might be more attractive if
they were tinted. My dining room
has pale blue walls with yellow,
blue and white in the draperies.
What color you'd you suggest that I
dye the linen, and what is the pro-
cedure? O. NJ. N.
AnsWer-This seems like a good
idea. May suggest that you cut
and hem the pieces first and get
them ready for tinting, as it is
easier to handle small pieces. yell
low would be good shade, as it is
a pleasant color on the table; it is
very difficult to match blue, which
also has tendency to streak. Sug-
gest you use one of the timing soaps
for your color, and follow the simple
directions to obtain excellent results.
Be sure to get the dye that is for
cotton or linen, not silk.

The United States made its flu

the French government contin-
gent on the decisions taken to-
day at the meeting of Marshal
Petain's cabinet in Vichy.
Relations would be severad, 1t

German collaboration demands
and permits the Nazis the
share" they seek in defending
the French empire.
This possibility caused con-
lecture whether the United
States might then extend recog-
milton to the Free French"
forces of General Charles De
Caulle- q step which De Gaul-
lists believe would rebound
psychologically to the benefit of
their cause in most of the
French possessions. The state
department, however, held to its

subject. NJ

Although officials were chary
of formal comment, there
seemed to be disposition to ex-
