Watch Shrinksee

When buying yard goods for
curtains, look for a label guar
anteeing the fabric against
undue shrinkage II you are
combining fabrics and the
shrinkability of any one Of
them is in question, make sure
that they'll combine perma-
nently flat and smooth nv hav-
inc all washed before you put
them together.
Face and guest towels, like
dish towels, come mostly in
cotton these days. or in mix
lures of cotton with linen or
rayon. Examine these mix
lures with care.
The main disadvantage Of
cotton is that il will lint. To
minimize this difficulty, look
for a soft but smoothly twisted
yarn without fuZZ.

Unusual Ideas

The ordinary vegetables Of
Middle America, are, OF course,
exactly like the ones we grow
IN the states. but there the re-
semblance ceases abruptly, for
the recipes used in Mexico.
Guatemala, Haiti and FL Saliva
dor-to mention a few of the
Middle American countries
feature all kinds Of unusual
combinations. Many are really
delicious.
For instance. one dish COM
bines carrots with apples, and
another mixes spinach with
chopped green peppers, celery
and cheese.
But best of all, there's the
grand culinary idea Of dressing
squash with parsley and sour
cream and topping il off with a
sprinkling of grated cheese.
Here's the recipe, direct from
Middle America--taSty and full
bodied enough to be the main
dish at luncheon or supper any
time. If you want TO serve il
casserole style, save out the
cheese and mix with buttered
crumbs to use Eau gratin," in
stead of as an ingredient. A
few seconds under the broiler
flame will brown il nicely;
there's no need 10 bake it in
the oven TO get a casserole
effect.

Combine FIavors

PLAN THE lunch so as 10
have A pleasing combination Of
flavors. colors, and textures.
For example, sweet, a sour
or tart, well seasoned and a
mildly seasoned food go we'll
together. Color and attractive
ness in any meal heightens
appetites and adds TO eating
enjoyment. so pack the lunch
box with these points in mind.
As for texture-a combination
Of dry. crisp, and soft is ideal.

Kitchen
Bathroom
Accessories
BY ELEANOR ROSS

WARTIME decorating and
W doing-over in many a house,
hold owes its success to Access
sories. JuNt as we have learned
to do over a basic dress and
make il like new with dainty
collar. a belt, buttons or sash,
so we have learned 10 give
room freshness by giving it a
thorough cleaning and then
treating IL 10 new accessories.
This is especially true Of the
kitchen and the bathroom. And
we have learned how TO give
new look even to old Access
series. Those old curtains, still
good although they have done
valiant service, needn't be re-
tired yet. An extra dose Of
starch plus crisp bias tape
bands will fluff out those old
curtains with perhaps a small
applique at each corner TO lend
interest.

Purchasing Towels

When buying new towels,
kitchen linen and such. buy as
good quality as you can afford.
Make sure that everything you
buy new in this line is wash
able. When buying colored
things, look for a label that
guarantees vat dyes.
Since many vat dyes have
gone 10 war, "A good vat dye is
a find and IL should be pur-
chased. even if it is a trifle
more than you intended TO paw.
For you will have colorful
things that will always look
bright and unfaded.
Since most towels and the
like shrink during their first
laundering, try and see that
your selection specifications in
clude such items as well
made selvage and a hem gen
erously tucked under and well
stitched.

Should the proposed consolidation
occur, the possibility again arisr 5
that an American commander would
receive the topmost position. In that
event Gen. George c. Marshall ap-
peared to be the most likely candi-
date.
Marshall's position then would be
supreme generalissimo of all the
Allied forces except those in Russia
and the Far East.
1t long has been known that
Marshall is anxious to get closer
TO the scene of action.
There is a possibility that Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, commander
in chief of Allied forces in North
Africa. will return to Washington
and that Gen. Sir Harold r. L. G..
Alexander, now commander of Al
lied ground troops in Tunisia, will
take over the high command.
Other British possibilities include
Gen. Sir Alan Brooke, chief of the
Imperial staff, and Field Marshal
Sir Archibald P Wavell, commander
in India.
