o'clock snack, replete with gossip,
where they can see and be seen, Is
not much smaller than it used to be,
despite the number that seem to
have really gone into uniform and
taken their war work seriously. Most
of the playboys, however, have dis
appeared from their old haunts, and
the ladies usually turn lunch into a
hen party, and let it go at that.
Some officers find time to get off for
a real lunch, but they are few and
far between these hectic days.
For the majority of people who
used to dash out from the office for
a quick bite in some nearby restau-
rant conditions have become we'll
night impossible. Overwhelming
crowds, slow and discourteous service
in too many instances, and high
prices have forced them to seek
other means of obtaining healthful
meals within their budget. And so
the lunch box has come into its own!
It seems odd to think of the dig
nified residents of Washington
tramping to their Offices swinging
well filled lunch box in one hand.
The picture of the Capital has al
ways been such a far different one
that for moment the change seems
startling. But, viewed closely, it is
most gratifying to see the easy
adaptability shown by the people,
their willingness to make reversals
in their habits of living to keep at
their most efficient and strongest.
Walk to work any morning along
Washington streets and notice the
tramp, tramp of purposeful feet, the
determined set of chins, the swing
of arms and shoulders-and the
lunch boxes. The shuttle and the
SLOUGH and the morning grumpiness
are out for the duration. Workers in
the Nations Capital are as much
all out" for production as the work
ers on the assembly lines and in
ordnance plants. They've ceased to
be traditional white collar" indi-
viduals-they march to work with
their lunch boxes as a symbol OF the
new order.

New Book Answers
Decorating Problems

What to do" and what not to
Go" in decorating your house is ably
illustrated in a new book which is
most welcome just at this time.
When all of us are keenly aware that
we must make what we have do, and
do we'll, for the duration, Designs
for Living" by Eta Brown, pub
lished by Halcyon House, will be
very useful.
This book contains no technical
discussions which must be inter-
preted by the trained decorator, nor
does it recommend expensive
changes to take all your spare cash.
1t does offer practical advice and
inexpensive solutions to home prob
lens in such way that the house
keeper may carry them out without
professional advice.
The little annoyances of wrong
color combinations, uncomfortable
furniture arrangements or too
cluttered wall are quite able to make
your home anything but the restful,
attractive environment you need in
these days of stress. Poor lighting
or an uncomfortable reading chair
may be all that is necessary to make
the family unconsciously avoid an
evening at home. Nearly 300 illus
trations, in simple line drawings.
aptly illustrate how you can get the
most out Of each room in your
house with what you now possess.
A little more care in checking
typographical errors and the cuts
which were misplaced would have
made the book entirely effective.
However, this may be forgiven as an
indication of the haste necessary
to release a vast store of timely adj
vice when it was most needed.

Want to Make
Waffles?
Av0id Overbeating
The Batter When
They Are MIXED
Bv Edith M. Barber
By Edith M. Barber

Who invented wan1es? Nobody
knows definitely, although the word
is Of Dutch origin. The first waf-
fle iron was a small, long handled
iron mold used for baking q sweet
cake mixture. 1t was some job to
make wafles when the iron had to
be held over the glowing Goals.
Probably the larger molds came in
with the range, which allowed a
more even heat.
There is still something special
about waffles in spite of the fact
that they are easier and quicker to
make than mullins or popovers and
really easier to bake than griddle
cakes. One of my friends tells me
that waffes solve her problem many
times when unexpected company
drops in. If serve waff1es, it does
not seem to make any difference
how slim the rest Of the meal is"
Now that electric irons make it
possible to bake waf1ies at the table,
it is entertaining for every one to
watch, for the moment when brown
and crisp the waffles are ready to
eat. This point is reached when
steam no longer escapes from the
edge of the iron.
When you mix your batter, dom
beat it any more than is necessary.
The baking powder and the eggs are
enough to tighten the batter, and
the shortening will make it tender.
Overbeating has toughening effect.
With any creamed meat, fish or
vegetable, waffles may be served as
a main course and will stretch the
meat-an important asset these
days. They will also do for dessert
If fresh plates are furnished with
the maple strip, honey, jam, or
