Prove 'Different':
Millinery Data

Those slightly unusual touches

porters were very much in evidence
at the National last evening. Women
who attended the performances of

proved to be smartly and appro-

feminine audience which applauded
Eddie Dowling and Julie Haydoh
showed a surprising amount of in
genuity in their outfits.
Among the outstanding costumes
noted were two dinner dresses of
entirely different types. each with q
great deal OF style interest. A white
Jersey dinner dress splashed with
huge red roses and green leaves had
matching elbow length gloves of the
same print fabric. 1t was truly diff

Custard Chosen
AS Epicure's
Favorite
But 1t Must Not Be
OvercOOked and
Thin.Teafured
By Edith NJ. Barber

A while age at a dinner I sat
next to a man who has justly ac-
qulred reputation as an epicure.
All men who claim this title do not
deserve it any more than do women.
AS we trif1ed with a fancy dessert
which was not nearly so good as 1t
looked he turned to me and asked
II I could guess what his favorite
desserts were.
If he had been just a mere man
I should probably have guessed
apple pie and ice cream. Under
the circumstances I merely urged
him to tell me what he liked best.
Custard and old-fashioned rice pud-
ding were his choice. He went on
to say that he believed that the
first principle of good cookery was
to prepare simple things well. Too
often custard is overlooked and
watery and this change in texture
spoils the flavor"
He is certainly right about that.
A cuStard must be cooked in hot
water and the water around it must
never boil during the baking, It
must be cooked until when tested
with a knife the latter will come
out clean. You may even take it
out when there is a thick jelly on
the knife if your custard cups are
thick and the retained heat will
finish the cooking Otherwise set
the cups into cold water as soon as
they come out of the oven.
Fully as good as the whole egg
cuStard Is the one made with egg
whites and thin cream or top milk.
1t has a special favor all it's own
and you should plan to make this
type OF custard when you have some
egg whites left over from some
thing else.
CREAM CUSTARD.
egg whites.
2 cups thin cream.
Salt.
tablespoons sugar.
| ! teaspoon vanilla.
Beat egg whites slightly. Stir in
milk, salt, sugar and vanilla and
! then strain into custard cups. Set
in a pan of hot water and bake in
a moderate oven. 375 degrees F.,
until set, about 25 minutes. Cool
quickly after baking. Yield, six
servings.

Subtle Flavorings
Give Glamour
To Any Dish
Use Herbs, Spices
In Simple Foods
For New Test
By Betsy CasweH
Womens News Editor.


Here are more of those suggestions
for using the flavorings resting on
your pantry shelf to add interest
and zest to every day dishes Last
week we got as far as ginger, and
today we take off with
MACE-The whole variety is good
with fish and fish sauces, with stew
ed cherries. and in a number of
pickles. A little goes well in Welsh
rarebit, and adds subtle flavor to
a cheese souff1e. Use ground mace
in yellow cakes, in chocolate des-
sertS and in gingerbread.
MUSTARD-Use pinch or two
of dry mustard in mayonnaise--
homemade or prepared-in French
dressings, in sauces and gravies for
meats and fish. Whole mustard is
usually used in picking. Prepared
mustard, of course. with cold cuts,
with cheese, in rye bread sand
Wiches, etc.
NUTMEG-Grated or ground: use
in cakes, pies, sauces, puddings.
Good topping for eggnog and Gus
tardS; some people like it with vege-
tables such as caulif1ower, or sweet
potatoes.
ONION SALT-Use like garlic
salt, whenever favor is desired.
Good in salad dressings, soups,
stews, meat pies and hash.
PAPRIKA-Really used as a gar
nish, as the flavor of the usual
paprika is so mild as to be scarcely
noticeable. Gives color and body to
salad dressings and some clear
soups.
SAFFRON-Gives a nice yellow
color and subtle flavor to rice and
rice dishes
SAGE-For meat stuffings. chick
en- and turkey soups, in sausage and
head cheese. Adds interest to
scrapple.
SWEET BASIL-Seasons tomato
soups, turtle soup, green peas and
tomatoes and cucumbers.
THYME-Wonder with raw
| tomatoes, in soups and stews, and
in stufflng for poultry. A very little
minced or sprinkled in a mixed
green salad gives flavor.
Blends we'll with
mustard, and is used often ir
picking. Good to flavor creameo
eggs, cheese fondue and sometimes
Welsh rarebit.

impossible to visualize clothes ra-

Waxed Surfaces Are
Easier to Clean

More time-time was never so
precious before-so much to do, and
so few hours in the day to ac-
complish it all. Housework must
be done, of course, before we rush
off to our war activities, but 1t must
be done quickly. Anything that
makes this-work easier is great
blessing, and household wax is one
of those time savers. If woodwork
is waxed it resists finger marks and
stays clean longer. Use it on doors,
door frames, window sills and
frames, mantles, bannisters, base
boards, paneled walls-even on pic
ture frames. You'll be delighted
with the way dirt is resisted, and
with the ease of cleaning when it
becomes necessary.

YOU see the inside care Is just as

Remember also that the following
foods are often offenders against
skin beauty: Chocolate, carbonated
water drinks. fried foods, highly
seasoned foods, pastries, coffee, tea
and alcohol.
2. Increased circulation adds TO
skin beauty because 1t makes 1t pos
sible for the tissues to be better fed,
This can be speeded up by general
exercise. facial exercises, the beauty
angle, and the use of a complexion
brush. White heads are usually due
to poor circulation.
3. We know now that emotions
have a definite effect on the skin.
There are certain skin diseases

know even more about this. When

feet digestion, which in turn has
its say with the skin.
Many skin irregularities are due to

Timely Book About
Nursery Schools

At no other period in American
life has the nursery school assumed
such an important place in our
scheme Of things. With fathers off
fighting and mothers busy taking
their place here on the production
front the nursery school has come
to be the daytime parent of our
young children.
With such a position it has nat
urally become matter of intense
interest to parents and to all those
who are concerned with the guild
ance and development of American
youth. To better understand the
meaning and functioning of such
schools we suggest that you read
Education of the Young Child, a
Nursery School Manual" compiled
by Catherine Landreth with the
collaboration of Katherine H. Read
published by John Wiley & Sons of
New York.
Profusely illustrated with photo
graphs, the book gives you an ex-
cellent picture of the best type of
nursery school-and by studying its
manual for teachers you can &C
quaint yourself with just what your
child will be taught and what his
environment should be if you select
. nursery school for him.
It's great value to the mother lies
In aiding her to determine the
standard of the schools that she
interviews so that she may be sure
her child will receive the best of
care and guidance.

Breakfast Treat

For a simple but cheerful addition
to breakfast, have coconut apples
colored with red cinnamon. For six
apples use II pound of red cinnamon
candies, pint of water and / cup
of shredded coconut. Dissolve the
candies In boiling water in a shallow
saucepan, then put in the pared and
cored apples. Cook over low
flame until tender. Turn the apples
after they have cooked 10 minutes
so the sirup will penetrate the whole
fruit. Remove the apples from the
sirup. If the sirup is not sufficiently
thick, boil longer When the apples
are cool enough to handle, roll them
in coconut. Pour the red strip
about the base Of the apples. They
are delicious, hot or cold.

Parents Opinion
Objected to by
Daughter
By Emily Post

Letters from daughters, protesting
against the opinions Of their parents,
are among the most difficult ques-
tons to answer because 1t is not
possible to criticize a parent to a
daughter, unless parent and daugh-
ter together ask me-to do so. And
even then it is unpleasant to side
against the mother. The following
question is, however, one that is SO
often brought to me that 1t may be
helpful to others to explain that
although the mother was right in
her protective impulse, I think she
was misguided in strategy.
This girl tells me: Il am II, still
going to school, My boy friend is 10
and at college. The other evening
he was at the house and mother and
dad were called away, to be gone for
a couple of hours, which would have
left Ted alone with me in the house.
Mother came into the living room
and explained that she and dad had
to go out for a while and that we'd
better go out to a movie or Ted 60
home because it wouldn't be proper
for us to be in the house alone. I
was terribly embarrassed and Ted
must have felt that they didn't trust
him either. In fact, he said hurried
ly that he had to study for the next
day and left. Mother knows-and
approves-of my asking you whether
she should have done this"
In addition to what have said I
think since there was no question of
mistrust, the better method would
have been for the mother to call the
daughter and tell her alone that they
had to 60 out. Suggesting a movie
should have been left for her to
decide. Or the parents might have
gone so quietly as not to let either
of the young people know about it at
all-not even after they were back.
They could have left q note in the
room where they were sitting saying
where they had gone in case Ted
went home to study-as he may,
quite truthfully, have had to do.

Not every woman Is q sweater

most garments do.
It's surprising how many women

shoulders are too wide, too honey or
too sloping this is made more notice.
able and many short necks are chop
ped of even more by the high
necked sweater.
In selecting your sweater bear In
mind the fact that style is even more
important than color. If your neck is
short wear one with a V-neck, or at
least one with a low cut, downward
sweeping neckline. If 1t is too long
buy one of the high-neck variety or
one which has horizontal lines that
create the illusion Of width at the
neck.
If you are fiat busted do not wear
a soft clinging sweater with close TT
ting lines, but one made Of fuzzy
material which provides fullness.
The blouse sweater style is good.
If your bust has too much fullness
you, too, should avoid clinging ma
terials and should choose from one
of the firmer knit materials. The
jacket style is splendid for you.
If your shoulders are too high
and broad avoid high necklines, hor-
izontal lines and built-up shoulders.
Sloping shoulders need just these
very things.
Best of all, If your bustline Is not

With this item, you need no soap
or. water, of course, and you need
waste no time having your hair set
and waiting for it to dry. Takes
about 10 minutes to 60 over your
tresses with the convenient little
mitt and the result is something
very special. Any time you want a
quick "freshener-upper" or If you
have cold and don't want to risk
exposure in a chilly house, give this
item a whirl It's quite an idea.
Speaking Of mitts, one of the most
interesting is a new Reliable powder
mitt which should make a won

bath accessory is obtainable in all

made with snaps so that you can

taffeta with a terry-cloth palm, or
in pale pastels with the same fea-

extremely popular at this holiday

the WAACS and WAVES. Logically
enough, these are white with red

According to our calculations, the
ladies in service should find these
bath powder mitts particularly use
full, for they are encased in water
proof, dustproof rayon taffeta en-
velopes. Thus. when they are filled
they can be carried in suitcase
