Because of the odd hours the
Government is working, and with
lunchroom facilities so very over
crowded, many people who never
thought about 1t before now find
that they must take their lunch to
work If this is your case. look at
the "half pint" metal lunch kits
containing small thermos jug and
enough space on the side for several
sandwiches. These kits are small. so
they are no trouble to carry or pack
away in the desk drawer. Colors are
black and gray. -.
AII-purpose utility forks nodded
Of transparent plastic are made so
that there is a spear on one end
and fork-like tongs on the other.
Excellent for picking up lemon slices,
olives, pickles, hors d'oeuvres and
canapes, and for stirring cock
tails. -.
A lovely mirror tray boasting COL
ored glass side strips as decoration
would add charm to a dressing table
in a modern boudoir Purchase a
matching picture frame for added
smartness. -.
Figurines and animals made Of
Laguna pottery. of which a local
store has an unusual collection, are
most attractive. Among the dis
play are whole families of purple
cows and striped Zebras. opera sing
.rs and men and women sporting old
Fashioned bathing suits. -.
Receiving a Junior marine set
would delight any small boy. This
consists of lighthouse. battle
cruiser, destroyer. coast patrol boat,
ocean liner, supply ship, tramp
steamer, buoy and freight boat all
made of light wood. The set is
comparatively inexpensive and
should keep him blissfully happy
for hours. E.
Every car owner should keep q
first aid kit In the glove compart-
ment in case of an emergency.
Equipment is packed snugly in a
small metal box and among the
items are bandages of several sizes,
tape, salve, swabs and other ne
cessities. =.
There Is a new kitchen gadget on
the market that can fill many needs.
Made from a single piece of heavy
rust-proof wire. with no detachable
parts to fall off and become lost, it
can be used for mixing, beating and
whipping, or as an egg separator,
strainer and ladle. -.
A seven piece cordial set of clear
glass with gold stripes would make an
ideal gift for bride and groom. .

us, either. We're getting more con-
cerned about the telephone. We
think it's here to stay, provided
something is done about the man
ners of its users. AS a matter OF
fact. we are seized with & wild I'M
pulse to ask Don Ameche and
George Petty what they think OF
people who scream into telephones,
humble into them and then get i'm
patient when the person on the
other end doesn't know right of
hand what all the shouting's about.
We'd like to ask these two who are
so closely identified with the phone
whether it's good manners to play
Guess Who"-an adoleScent game
which seems to be returning to
favor.
Furthermore, we're intrigued with
the idea of asking employers how
they like their secretaries attitude
about this means of communication.
Only slightly worse than telephone
answerers who obviously don't speak
English are those who speak 1t too
well, taking up precious minutes of
your time to say that Mr.. Smythe
is not in" 1t would be interesting
to find out what people possibly
could have to say that takes them
a good 45 minutes. and 'twould be
fun to know why people call In the
middle of business hours to ask you
to a party three weeks hence. And
what makes 1t impossible for some
people to put a phone gently back
on the hook? See the shape we're
in?
And there's one thing more We
went a-dancing not long ago and
were amazed by the current fashion
foibles of the younger set. We can
grin and bear it if the masculine
members of the jitterbug brigade
wear coats down to their knees,
pegged pants with much expanse
of sock showing. and If all. without
exception, need haircuts. What we
can't bear are the feminine litter
bugs who are so out of this world"
that they twirl in their black short
skirts. revealing pink slips and roll
ed stockings on the dance floor,
There's something about 1t that
haunts us. Maybe it Just isn't
smooth.
Anyway, with shortages and pri-
critics to think about, this other
business is cluttering up an already
overloaded mind. What's worse,
we're afraid our condition may
become serious.

continue to learn how to cook vege-
tables and how to serve fruit and
greens for children for the coming
years as fast as they have taken
hold in the last five years. Most
of our children now get the real

most mothers have stopped drown

Souffle Is
Not Hard
To Make
Really Very Simple
Despite Fancy
Reputation

II you want to establish q rep
utation as fancy cook, Just learn
to make souffle successfully. There
Is nothing which will bring you such
respect from your guests.
Standards for souf1les differ great
ly in this country and others. Most
recipes in cook books direct that a
soufi1e should be baked in a pan OF
water. This Is one American prac-
tice which I am against My stand
ards demand crisp golden edge and
top and these can only be obtained
by baking without water and in a
moderately hot oven. Souffles baked
in this manner will have more
flavor than the other type and will
not fall any more quickly than will
the others.
Let me warn you that you had
better not attempt to serve q soufie
to guests who are likely to be very
late for dinner. am talking now
about a main-course souffe because
a dessert souffle can be baked in
the 25 minutes 1t demands while the
main course Is being served.
Then there are double boiler
souffies Of the dessert type. These
demand only the whites Of eggs and
take 40 minutes to hour for
steaming over hot water. They are
practically foolproof and can stand
few minutes If the cover is not
removed until the moment Of serv-
ing. When making souf1le of this
sort, you should plan to use the egg
yolks either the same day or the
next day. You may like to make
custard sauce for the souf1le and
use the remainder for hollandaise
another day. Little gold cakes also
demand egg yolks.

ture, comforting and strong and
serene. 1t is the life stream OF Ma
ture, abundantly granted our chill
dren. What more can the children
of earth require?
No land in the world Is blessed
with such food as ours. We have
the finest vegetables, the best fruit,
the most beautiful to sight and
touch and smell the world has ever
known. We have meat in quantity,
wheat to overflowing.
We nave the best bread and the
best milk supply in creation. What
beyond that do we need? We should
be ashamed to ask for more and
yet we find children fussing about
having sugar on their bread and
sauces on their meats. That is our
fault. We set them the example.
Now we would better 60 back to
the simple way of doing. Vegetables
fresh from the ground need no
sauces. Meat that Is fresh and
clean needs no spicing. Bread that
is cooked Of the best wheat needs
no Sugaring. A meal that is well
cooked, well balanced for nourish-
ment, needs no sticky desserts, no
overcolored dressings.
Don't fuss up children's food. Give
1t to them in it's simplest, purest
forms and they will enjoy 1t more
and 1t will do them more good than
If you mess it up with sauces and
spices and picklings and vhatnot.
But be sure to cook 1t properly.

makes 1t rather matter -of-fact and
mechanical. But a typed letter Is
better than none at all!
In trying to make your letters live
and interesting, don't forget to put
as much of yourself as possible into
them. OF course. If you're having
dates with other boys, you'll have to
use discretion. Sammy Selectee may
say he's glad you had such marvel
GUS time with Robert Reject at the
latest dance, but actually it's not 60
ing to raise his spirits any.
Write him amusing bits Of news
about his friends and acquaintances.
Try to get at least one laugh or grin
into every letter. Keep your scissors
handy when you read the local
paper, watching for items that will
be of interest to him. And send
him a new snapshot Of yourself
every chance you get. There's moth
ing like a picture to keep your image
fresh In his mind-and his heart.
And be interested in what he Is
doing. Let him see that you think
that he's a pretty important per-
son, to you and to the Nation. II
you've been Dragging about him to
your friends. tell him so. Soldiers
often assume a bored and cynical
attitude toward military service,
even pretending that patriotism is
lot of gun. But they want and need
your admiration, your appreciation
and your respect. Give 1t to them!
Incidentally, much Of the above
Is good advice for mothers and sis
ters, as well as for girl friends.
We have a sneaking suspicion that
relatives are responsible for many
of those "sobby" letters that wreck
the Army's morale.
YOU ASK-wE ANSWER.
@. In reading some suggestions
on gifts for soldiers, saw that the
most welcome thing you could send
them was money. Now that's all
right for relatives, but I don't feel
right about sending my boy friend
money, and I don't think he'd like
it If I did. Have you any sugges-
tions on this problem? G. B. r.
A. We think your feeling is sound:
many boys wouldn't care to receive
money from a girl. However, you
can accomplish the same result by
sending him other things which
you know he must buy regularly
out Of his Army pay.
