 The house whose milky toiletrieS come in dainty flower-sprigged containers has whole new group of practical and pleasing bath things. A powder nitten has soft snowy terry cloth on the batter side while dimity with tiny pink and blue blossoms on the other, finished with net ruffle and blue bow.
 Sachets of white satin are bound in blue. Bath oil is in 8 milk white cruet; toilet water is in crystal cruet done up in a dimity cylinder. A cunning calfskin purse kit is patterned on a mans wall let, and has a slit side for folding bills, a change purse, ipstick and white leather compact.

instead of riding in warm cars as they used to do.
 So, if women want to wear pants, they certainly have earned the right. And, if pants are good enough for women to wear when they build airplanes and work on assembly lines, then they ought to be good enough for women to wear in any court in the land.

The Yankee Kitchen is busy today with some good thrift recipes with the emphasis on plenty of nourishment and food value. We are going in for "stretchers" in the Yankee Kitchen and that means meat stretchers and budget stret- chers.
 You know, you always have some left over chicken every time you've had chicken for dinner. At least, we hope you do. Because we think that curried poultry is a wonder fully savoury dish. spicy and deli cious. Any curry is a meat stret- cher, you know, but we always did like curries anyhow.
 Curried Poultry apple 3 tbls. fat tbl. chopped Pinch of clove
 Onlon 2 teasp. lemon S1s teasp. curry juice
 powder
 Peel and cut up apple, put into frying pan with fat and onion. Brown them and then crush to a mush; add curry, lemon juice and clove. Simmer for 10 or 15 min- utes. This is your curry sauce to which you add about 3 cups gravy and the chicken you want to curry. Allow to cook slowly for 15 or 20 minutes. Serve on mounds of fluffy rice, and have chutney or sweet relish with it.
 Now we have another good recipe for you and this one is two way stretch; that is, it is a meat stretcher and a budget stretcher. It makes one pound of meat go a long. long way and it is one of the tastiest things ever whipped up in the kitchen. It calls for just one pound of ground meat and serves people.

 We do like to serve hot breads of all sorts, don't you? One of our favorite breads to whip up in just a few minutes and that we think is super good is our version of old- fashioned Johnnycake. This is rather dark, crumbly bread that is delicious with so many different meals.

 d powder ' , Tablespoons 1 teasp. salt melted fat
 Mix and sift dry ingredients, add milk, well-beaten egg, fat and molasses. Stir it thoroughly but don't beat it. Bake in shallow creased pan in hot oven for 20 minutes. This Johnnycake melts in your mouth.
 Now we have dessert for you that is pretty special. We don't like to talk about vitamins and iron all the time because we think we all get sort of tired of it; but just the same don't forget that cranberries. bless their scarlet coats. are practically bursting their jackets with iron. And when you cut into this cake and see the juicy, bright red cranberries oozing out, your mouth starts watering.
