Nice New Way
To Prepare
Carrots

You, undoubtedly, know all about
the virtues of the lowly carrot, but
have you any idea how to make
your family eat and enjoy them?
Few people are born with liking
for carrots. Some gradually achieve
a liking, but most Of us go through
life feeling that carrots are being
very definitely thrust upon us. So
unless you're collecting dozens of
ways to serve those carrots attrac-
lively, an awful lot of vitamins are
going to 60 to waste!
Here is recipe from Middle
America guaranteed to delight every
member of the family-even the die
fards. The recipe combines carrots
and apples into an appetizing dish
that is also very timely, with the
green apple season coming right
along.
If you like, this Mexican speciality
can be made into a perfect one-dish
meal by placing bacon strips or pam
Drowned pork chops on the top.
Omit the butter and bake uncovered
until the bacon is crisp or the chops
are tender when pierced with a fork
All in all, it's q tasty vegetable
plate" and when you serve it up be-
fore the family, there1l be new
hoorays for Middle America, source
Of our bananas, much of our cocoa
and coffee, and many other foods
that lend flavor and variety to North
American meals.

SEROLE.

~ Art Replaces Nature

Artificial flowers are becoming
more and more acceptable for in
terror decoration. Time was when
fake posies" in a stiff, dusty little
bunch in the middle Of the dining
table placed that home in a cate
CORY that had little to do with good
taste or smart fashion. This was
mainly because the flowers were
sad imitation of the real thing,
there was seldom any attempt at
arrangement, and the whole effect
was haphazard. lazy way Of facing
problem in decoration.
Today we have two types of arti-
ficial flowers. One, the perfect
replica Of the real thing, so alive
looking. so perfect in color and
form that fake" roses may be
used with real ones and 1t is i'm
possible to tell which is which. The
other, the most stylized version Of
simulated floral or foliage forms.
Evening star., 1943-09-29

One OF the smartest ways TO use
fine limitations of real flowers Is to
make collection of flowers in colors
which go well in the interior OF your
house, varying these at different
tiues OF the year to correspond to
the flower seasons. Thus, In the
spring you might have daffodils,
narcissus and tulips, in early sum-
mer larkspur, petunias and roses,
and fan the dahlias or chrysanthe-
NUNS. In this way you would give
the effect Of reality to each bouquet.
Another way that makes them
look more convincing and natural
is to use them with real foliage.
This may be the stiffest, most formal
green, such as laurel or MAGNOLIA,
but Its true green makes q foil for
flower colors which makes the whole
arrangement ring true.
1t is not that we are ashamed Of
using artificial flowers or are trying
to fool any one about IL at all. It "a
only that we feel that the true grace
Of growing flowers can hardly be Inn
proved upon by you and me-and
using them In the accepted way,
with real foliage to set them on, Is
merely their rightful due-beca,ise
Of the fine workmanship, extensive
research and painstaking care that
has gone into their creation.
Now that local gardens have been
planted to vegetables instead Of fiow-
ers, and the transportation situation
has curtailed the import of many
greenhouse grown flowers we may
use artificial ones for the time beirig.
That personal touch that well-ar-
ranged flowers give to the appear
ance OF room may still be worked
out with perfect reproductions OF
the garden variety until our own
borders bloom again.

to plague the life of you amateur
laundresses. In fact, hot irons have a
much higher mortality than hot
water. When pressing rayon always
press on the wrong side with warm
rather than hot iron; heat causes
the ugly shine on rayon and also
serves as warning that the irons
too hot. 1t also helps If your ironing
board is well padded.
Sweaters are precious these days;
in washing them you must be a
ministering angel. Before you start,
lay out Turkish towel; pin on 1t
the outline of your sweater. When
the water is just right-lukewarm-
and you've worked up nice suds with
mild soap flakes, throw in your
sweater. Then do nothing more
strenuous than squeeze the suds
through the sweater time and again;
don't ever rub. Gently squeeze out all
the soap, gently rinse. Never
nevaire-vring out a sweater. Then
gently lay it on the towel to conform
to its former shape-and yours.
When 1t is not quite dry, shake it out
and lay 1t down on another towel
Gloves are another laundering
problem. For years and years we've
been struggling with wonderful doe
skins that have needed just one
laundering from us to be ready for
the discard. Only too well do we
know what improper laundering can
do to good glove. For any leather
gloves-the tender treatment is the
answer. Lukewarm water-gentle
suds-tender handling. Wringing
and twisting leather gloves is just as
murderous as wringing and twisting
your own hide. After you've washed
them, spread them out on Turkish
towel. Just before they're dry, blow
air into the fingers to give them
some shape. Then when they're all
dry, finger-press them; that means
softening them all over with thumb
and forefinger.
incidentally, one of the busiest
spots in town has been that new
fabric department mentioned above.
We're almost afraid to mention it,
but there was standing room only"
in front Of the counter at which they
were selling school-dress cotton the
other day. And, wonder of wonders,
they have plenty Of white cotton to
make children's blouses, underwear.
etc. And - If you're foresighted
you might keep next summers
dresses in mind when you 60 down
to look them over.
What caught our eye particI-
larly were the buttons in the new
section. Don't miss the buttons you
can buy in progressions Qarge-
larger-largest) to wear clip-fashion
on the pocket of q suit in the best
manner Of the Big Name dressmak-

make suitable earrings; buy them

wait. Buttons, buttons-you1 find
the button that will be just right to
make over that last years dress.
See? Buttons are saving graces, too!

Saving Graces
By Evelyn HAYES

II some one accused you of burn.
ing up dollar bills you'd probably re.
sent it-and loudly. But most of u.
will have to admit that we have
ruined otherwise perfectly goot
blouses by using too hot an iron OF
too hot water In washing. And II
that isn't burning up dollar bills
what Is? Now, when we're trying
to make everything last as long as
possible it's not only extravagant
but unpatriotic to burn up money
that way. The money you have to
spend to replace what you ruin could
be used towards a War bond, which
In turn might buy the equipment

That's how closely our daily efforts
on the home front are tied up with
the battle front.
The other day one OF the stores
held something In the nature of q
conservation clinic in connection
with the opening Of the newest
fabric department in town. There
we learned tricks that will make
clothes last longer and look better
Many of you probably know them,
but there's no harm In reminding
you again.
Look before you launder Is the
No. ] rule. Always look for q label
to see whether the fabric is rayon
and whether 1t is washable. II the
label says this garment should be
dry cleaned" it's not fooling. The
manufacturer was not in cahoots
with the cleaners; he's simply tell
ing you how best to take care of your
dress. If there Is no label and you're
in doubt try the tumbler test. Take
a corner of the belt-or a piece Of
the garment that doesn't show-and
dip 1t in lukewarm water. II the
sample runs in this water beware,
better not wash the rest.
Even If the label says washable" +"
that doesn't mean you have to scald
what you're washing. Water that is
slightly warmer than lukewarm
will do. One of the best house.

Mrs. Robert Bingham
 Writes Mrs. Kir11ball

Mrs. Arthur Reed Kimball, pres- ident of the Waterbury Chapter of Bundles for Britain has received a letter from Mrs. Robert Worth Bingham, president of the organiza- tion.
 Mrs. Bingham has just returned from an inspection tour of English distribution centerS. In her com- munication she states in part:
 My impression, as an American woman, who witnessed the attempt of the Axis to break the indomit- able spirit of the British people, with very miserable results, was one of enthusiastic qualification for the work we have accomplished.
 "One of the things that I want you to know particularly, is that each one of you who has knitted sweater or given dress or in anyway contributed to the efforts of Bundles for Britain, has added immesaurably to the morale and spiritual uplift of all classes. The tremendous appreciation of the British, from the King and Queen down to the lowliest charwoman, was shown to me. I was told by such persons as Mrs. Winston Churchill and Lady Reading that when they thought they were alone against a world of unspeakable hor- TOT, with their backs against the wall, American women came for ward with aid and sympathy in spontaneous fashion.
 London is a city which it is diffi- cult to recognize. although. I have known it for many years. The black out, which is so much more drastic than the dimout in this country that it is actually frightening. de- finitely has a depressing effect.
 "When the homes of people, such as you and I, are bombed out, that's the end. There is no rebuilding at all. Everyone is too busy winning this war to worry about vacant lots or shabby environment.
