maroon and gray. The blouse
has easy fullness, is long
sleeved. nips in at the waist,
and has a notched rever collar.
There is wide self-material
covered belt with plaid wool
buckle.
The skirt has impressed pleats
and ends at the knee. The plaid
is nicely matched at the seams,
which is always a mark of good
tailoring.
CHIC COMBINATION Of ma
terials is responsible for many
smart costumes and these pa
jamas are no exception. Maroon
satin, the same shade as is pre-
dominant in the plaid. Is used

Head Up
Important
Posture Rule
BY IDA JEAN KAHN

YOU ARE counting on look
ing simply divine for the Christ
mas festivities. You will don
your favorite gown and put on
your party posture and you will
look just elegant-for about an
hour.
You can't hold a pose all eve
ming. That special occasion pos
ture is too uncomfortable to
last.
To be at ease in beautiful pos
ture, you have to make a habit
of 1t. The time TO start is now
and the starting point is your
head carriage.
II you want to turn heads as
you enter a room, cultivate the
habit of holding your head high.
Analyze the posture of any dis
tinguished looking woman and
you will see how true that is.
Lifts Figure
Concentrate on the line at the
back of the neck and stretch il
perfectly straight but keep the
chin level. That t.Nds to re-
fiexly contract the lower abdomi-
nal wall, pull the hips into line,
and lift the chest. In fact, il
gives the whole figure a lift.
Test this for yourself. Sit side
ways TO a mirror. curls pinned
up off the nape Of your neck.
Now. hold your chin level as you
straighten the nape-of-neck line.
See how this automatically pulls
your figure into better align
ment?
Posture Trick
To help matters along, prac-
tice this posture trick: Stand
erect and arc arms overhead.
interlacing fingers and turning
palms up to ceiling. Now with
nape-of-neck line straight, chin
level, stretch through the mid
section and pull up with the
lower abdominal muscles and
down with the hips. Walk on
tiptoes back and forth the full
length of the room for five
minutes.
After that. flop forward at
waist. letting head. arms and
trunk dangle Imply toward
floor. Shrug your shoulders loose
and timber as you straighten
the trunk and stand erect. Re-
peat several times.
Rest Back
To rest the small of your back
and also straighten the impor-
tant posture muscles. try this:
Stand on floor on knees, then
fold UP like a jack knife, hips
resting on heels and head on
folded arms on floor. While in
this position, pull up and in with
the lower abdominal muscles.
Just stay there for a few min
utes.
Finish your posture workout
by lying on back on floor. face
to ceiling, and flex both knees
and hug TO chest. Hold that
position for two or three min
utes. These last two posture
poses are very effective in cor
recting sway back.

Caroline B. King, published by

It's the kind of a cook book

Della Lutes' Country Kitchen"
for Caroline takes you back to
the country kitchen of her child
hood where her mother baked
cakes that would melt in your
mouth, and most of the recipes
are from friends and neighbors
Of those early days.

The original recipe called for
cream of tartar in place of

use, but Emily was modern. for
those days, and remodeled the
recipe according to her own
ideas.

Measurements Generous
Her measurements were gen.
erous we would call them
rounding today and she
assembled the ingredients in the
usual manner, creaming the but
ter in her bowl which had been
first rinsed with warm water
and carefully dried.
Adding the sugar and beating
both together to the texture
of whipped cream, whipping the
egg whites to snowy peaks on
the turkey platter, sitting flour,
cornstartch and baking powder
together and adding them al
ternately with the milk.
And finally folding in the egg
whites with as little actual
beating or stirring as possible.
Unique Flavor
Emily introduced the flavor
ing in a unique way. After
brushing her pans with soft
butter, she would arrange lemon
verbena leaves over the surface,
then spoon in the batter and
bake the cake in her usual
heedful way.
When it was finished and
turned from the pan, she would
peel off the aromatic leaves
and ice the cake with delicate
icing family favored with
lemon.
We are not told what Emily
did for ffavoring when verbena
leaves were not in season
lemon, vanilla or almond, of
course, would do it.
WaInut-AppIe Dessert Cake
This one Miss King recalls as
the masterpiece of a neighbor
named Nettie and this is how
it was fashioned.
Spongecake of a very light
and delicious quality, baked in
two rather deep, square layer
pans, formed its foundation.
The cakes while still slightly
warm were put together with
a delicious, pale-tinted apple
sauce. which was first pressed
through a very fine strainer .
sweetened, chilled and blended
with an equal amount of stiffly
beaten whipped cream, and en-
bellished by the addition of a
handful of finely chopped Eng
lish walnut meats.
With this filling almost an
inch high between the cakes,
the result was something quite
wonderful.
