lie patronage for the benefit of
ST. Mary Star of the Sea church,
and given under the auspices of
the Catholic Daughters. Tickets
were sold at the door of the church
after all masses the Sunday pre-
ce5ing the event, by all members
of the Court. Mrs. Johnny Wells
carried off the honors among this
group of ladies.
The chaplain praised the work
ers and was highly pleased by the
results. He announced the le-
turns on hand amounted to S275.0O
and many tickets yet to be hSa-d
rom.
Mrs. Demeritt read a part OF the
letter from State Regent Mrs. Geo.
Il. n cIntvre. in which she men
toned the utilization of the Cath
oiic Daughters of America with
the National Council of Catholic
Women, papal command that
every Catholic woman in the
world join in this Catholic action.
While the C.D.A. covers the
same detectives as the meow,
still its scope of membership
does not extend to all Catholic
women. But whenever the CQ.A.
affiliates with the Meow. the
latter comes under the official
group of the former.
The Rev. Father Atherton, 81,
closed the meeting with prayers
and his blessing. He then sug-
gested that the Court meet his
relative, a pilot of the Raj.
from England, 1t. Woodruff. He
is a very interesting Young man
and gave a very realistic descrip-
ton of the bombing of England,
in which he shared MANY TRACE !

rescue work.
The Raj pilot gave splen-

sense of humor at those grue- |
some scenes by his own recital
in which he laughed dramatic
ally through his stories but tell
ing YOU an aroused England is
determined to carry on to the
bitter end.
MIR. Woodruff came to Alabama |
several years ago when he was
stationed there as an instructor.
He invited his listeners to ask
questions and answered them
very explicitly.
The members left for their
homes after a long session. II
was an agreeable surprise to
everyone to welcome Mrs. Nam
lie Moss. the financial secretary,
back home after a long vaca-
ton. Also our Vice Regent, alb
sent for some time through Sc

held in the Parish Hall, Windsor
Lane, Tuesday, December is, al

Tne Worthy Grand Regent, Mrs
Angela Mackey, presided. The
cha lein. Rev. Thomas Anterior
S. J.,aand twenty members Were
present.
The meeting opened with Gsu-
al prayers, Allegiance to the FLAG
and sopening Ode America" was
sung. MS. Josephine Piodela, OK
genist, was accompanies at the
piano.
The formal procedure of bust
ness followed and the various &C
Invites were discussed.
MS. Virginia Demeritt, Vice
Regent and recently appointed
District Deputy of Key West for
the duration of the war, spoke
about tie customary Christmas
donation of fifty dollars to the
Catholic Daughters of Americas
Crphanage fund, and requested
the pleasure of the Court on this
activity for our holy season. 1t was
unanimously agreed to again for
warathe emount and Father Ath
crtons said he would donate part
of that sum.
Mrs. Demeritt reported receiv-
ing inquiries from several cha'i-
table institutions, requesting CHI
dren's shoes, stockings and wear
ing apparel of all kinds, with the
proviso that such articles be re-
paired in the work rooms of their
hospices.
Another activity of considerable
discussion was the sewing kits to
be given through the Red Cross to
service men leaving Key West for
over seas. The Court has col
lected fifty dollars for fifty kits,
each one costing one dollar for
equipment. The Red Cross has
not received the necessary mater
ials to date. It was decided the
Court will go to the Red Cross
sewing rooms and make the fifty
to be. donated by them, as soon rs
the Red Cross is ready.
A committee was asked to pass
on the guest cards for young la
dies attending NC.C.S.-U.S.O.
dances. 1t was decided at a pre-
vious meeting and met the appro-
baton of the daughters, that the
references should consist Of two
endorsers, one from home or resi-
donces and one from priest or en-
ployer, in fact any reliable, well

New Book a Digest
Of Information
About Fashion

It stood to reason that sooner or
later somebody had to do it. We
mean put all the bits of informa-
ton you've been reading in news
papers and magazines into COM
pact form, probably in the form of
a book. This, then, is what Wini-
fred Raushenbush has done in the
volume called How to Dress in
Wartime"
Published by Coward Mccain,
Inc, it is a neatly put-together di-
gest of current events in the fashion
world Outside of Miss Raushen-
bush's predictions for the future
we venture to say there is little in
the text that you have not read
somewhere before, very recently. 1t
reviews the problem of fabric short
ages in wartime, touches on the
eternal problem of the feminine sex
in trousers and goes on to talk a
little about price ceilings, painted
legs and boarding. 1t even makes
a noise like a pre-war fashion book
in discussing figure types and the
most appropriate clothes for the
average figure, the hourglass figure
and all the other categories into
which the female form divine has
been placed.
Briefly, if you're anxious to re-
view the news from official Wash
ington and pace-setting New York,
you can do no better than to find
it between the covers of this book
However, we promise you that in
spite of the weeks the author spent
interviewing Government officials,
she has emerged with little infor-
nation not to be found in press
releases. AS for the postwar
period about which she speculates
her guess is as good as yours, and
no better. Harassed Government
employees may give bitter laugh,
too, when Miss Raushenbush de-
clares, Civilians should be pleased
to know that the sophistication
level has risen In Washington, too
In the clothes field. there is NO
interdepartmental competition and
pickering between departments. On
the contrary. the Washington
Fashion Go-Round is doing a
sound, well co-ordinated job. The
prediction can safely be made that,
although there will continue to
be difficulties In connection with
the administration of wartime
clothing, there will be no major
scandals"
Goodness, Miss r., we hope notl

Serve in Place of Meat
Try 'Rib.Sticking' Vegetables
Dressed Up With Seasonings

Let's not be grim about meat sub
stitutes. Let's not even talk about
meat substitutes. Let's just plan
different kinds of main-course meals
instead. For some of the finest food
in the world is what we dub meat
substitutes-and thereby cast asper-
sions on the dish.
The word Substitute" bears I'M
pleasant connotations. 1t implies q
poor notwithstanding less de-
understanding that is just a
weak excuse for what we really
would prefer to serve. And no one
would call meat substitutes poor
eating. Not when you remem-
Der the delicacies included in this
class.
There is shrimp. lobster, crabmeat,
sole, halibut, and all the seafoods
chicken, duck, goose, turkey,
and other game the rare and
delectable cheeses in the market,
than which there is no finer eating
and the vegetables, those
beautiful fine-favored vegetables
our farmers have grown so plenti-
fully this year.
When it comes to a really salts
flying meatless meal you can't do
better than to serve platterful OF
vegetables. Hefty vegetables, with
sticking substance to them, like
beans, cabbage, corn, and tomatoes
dressed up with seasonings and
served with cheese sauce. Here are
three such savory new suggestions
using vegetables in place OF meat:

Some restaurants are SO arranged

Published by P. F. Collier u Son
Corp. Of New York, the book con-
tains more than $500 tested recipes,
new menus, new ways Of marketing
and buying, time-saving short cuts,
details OF serving and decoration,
lists Of utensils and equipment, the
fine points Of culinary procedure,
and a splendid chapter on nutrition.
Tho book is profusely illustrated
with magnificent pictures in color,
and in black and white-an Of them

There are quantities Of drawn charts
and diagrams, making the clear d.
rections even clearer-and one In
particular, on carving, should be

of the house has gone of to war and
left her to struggle with dismember-
ing turkey, or chicken, or compn-
Gated cut of some other meat.
The chapter on meat, incidentally.
is one OF the longest in the book, and
includes many suggestions and
recipes that are invaluable now that
we must make the best of every bit
of meat available to us. Many OF
the soups and other dishes, such as
casseroles and cereals and dried veg

The dessert and salad sections are

first I've ever seen that bears me out
in my contention that wild ducks
