Birthday Party
Suggestions
For Shopping Info

0F COURSE you're going right
" ahead with your plans for
a birthday party. Maybe there
won't be as much sugar in the
menu as you have always used
before, but the men in your
party, at least, won't be disap-
pointed.
Men are VIGOROUSLY fond of
savory foods. So give them
satisfying entrees of meat, sea
food or cheese and add the
crunchy relishes they like. One
sweet, in dessert form, is enough
to make everybody happy.
The hot entree needn't be ex-
pensive, even for a large-sized
group. There are so many cas-
erole entrees in which meat is
readily stretched to cover more
servings.

EEATURE Of the home of Mr..
Il and Mrs. Ben P.,Shirley on
the Franklin River is Its per-
feet location on the summit OF
a stable hill, with every win
dow in the house framing a
different view, one lovelier than
the other.
Five years ago the property
on which the house stands was
just an apple orchard, and since
most Of the trees remain, only
enough to allow the building OF
the house having been cut, the
view on two sides Is into the
orchard-just now heavy and
fragrant with ripening fruit.
A picture window on a third
side of the house permits the
Shirleys to look down upon
their own Shirley Farm" below
them. while from the porch side
of the house there is the ex-
quisite picture Of great willow
trees along the river and an
artificial pond where the river
has been widened.
Down the hillside from the
lawn clear to the pond young
Towering crabapples and other
ornamental trees have been
planted in a great crescent TO
enhance the view for years to
come.

And Sweaters!

Gold embroidery was widely
used in the collection. but it
was never reminiscent of the
military. Mainbocher has long
advocated the use Of the sweater
for evening and dress occasions,
and his sweaters were lovely
and soft as the finest of ma
terials.
The collection Of styles shown
by Henri Bendel, Inc. were
equally inspired by current
needs rather than romantic pc
RODS of the past. The collection
made a point of presenting
clothes for women who work
hard and play little" but who,
perhaps more than ever before,
crave to be feminine and grace
full. To that aim, even the
sturdiest woolens aimed for
softness.

jackets on suits were shown

a belt that fastened snugly at
the waist. Overcoats and over
jackets, TO be used both over
dresses and suits. and for both

lined with suede and worn with
