Q MODERN MENUS
BY MRS, GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Service Staff Writer

The American housewife spends from to l8 per cent of her food money on fats and oils. That makes it important to understand thor oughly the differences among fats and what each one does best.
 For deep-fat frying, you want a fat with a bland flavor and high smoking point. When fat begins to smoke, it starts to break. down chemically and gives off an odor. Food fried in it will taste unpleas- ant.
 Good fats for deep-fat frying are vegetable oils except olive oil, the hydrogenated fats, some of the com- pounds, and high-quality lards. All fats mentioned above are suitable also for shallow or pan frying. Also butter, o.eomargarine, olive oil, and drippings.
 For cakes, biscuits, and other quickbreads. almost any fat or oil with a bland flavor will work.
 SUBSTITUTE FAT FOR FAT
 Fats cannot normally be suhsts- tuted for one another. measure for measure. because the amount of ac- tual fat in a cupful is not the same for all fats. Follow these handy rules in making substitutions:
 If the recipe calls for lard and you want to use butter or oleomar- garine instead. add an extra ta- blesp0ons of butter or oleomargarine

for each cup of fat called for in the recipe.
 Substituting the other way around use seven-eighth of cup of lard q cup less than tablespoons) for every cupful of butter or oleomar- garine called for in the recipe.
 If the recipe calls for lard. and you are substituting a hydrogenat- ed fat for it, add an extra lh ta- blespoons for every cup of lard called for in the recipe.
 Here's a pastry recipe from a famous upstate New York cook:
 PASTRY
 One cup flour, F teaspoon bak- ing powder, i-4 teaspoon salt, l-3 cup lard, IA cup ice water (about) :.
 Sift flour, baking powder and salt together. Cut shortening in with a pastry blender or two knives un- til the Jumps are the size or lima beans. Add ice water gradually. mixing it in with a fork. When only enough water to hold dough together is added. pat dough to- gether and chill if possible. On a iioured board. roll out dough to i-s inch thickness. Line a nine-inch pie plate; trim and flute the edges. Place another nine-inch pie plate over 1t, to hold 1t sandwich style while baking. Bake in 6 hot oven (425 degrees FD about iS to i7 minutes or until the pie shell Is a light brown. Remove top pie plate and cool.

NEA 0DEVACV CU1Ah NNAAVSA
 Before you decide that springs newest colors-ultra violet, mustard yellow, creamy blue--are not becor1- and sapphire blue--are not becom- ing to you, experiment with new shades of makeup. Experts agree that any woman can wear practical ly any color, if her makeup is right.
 There are rosy powders to give brightness to 8 skin which looks sallow in beige or green. There are shades of rouge which make cheeks bloom in spite of lavender shadows from an ultra violet dress. There's the right makeup to wear with black, with royal blue, in fact every color under the sun.
 It's important to remember, how ever, that makeup is an individual problem, you can't just dash out and buy makeup for black" without giv- ing any consideration at all to your own skin tones. Trial.and-error is the only intelligent method of choosing the cosmetics that are right for you.
 SPEND SOME TIME
 SELECTING SHADES
 If possible, buy or borrow a good sized piece of material in the spring shade you hope to be able to wear. Wrap 1t around throat and should CTS and then try on cosmetics until you find shades which give your skin a fresh, blooming look in spite of the reflections from the swatch of fabric.
 Black presents fewer make up problems than any other color. It drains the face of natural color, but 1t docs not throw odd shadows across the skin. Green is difficult, of course. It throws g. yellowish glow over the average complexion. Mus. tard yellow and ultra violet can be trying, too.
 But, let me repeat, not single one of these shades presents an un- able problem. It's 8 question of taking time to find the right make- up.
