While we were peering at fash
ions in New York last week we kept
our winter-weary eyes wide open
not only for spring fashions-but for
tricks Of the new fashions that you
and I can use to give q new look
to not-so-new dresses. In other
words, we're up to tricks-1944
tricks Here are few:
THE TOUCH OF YOUR HAND
For the past couple of years, there
has been a growing trend to hand
details. This spring, the prettiest
of the new creations have rich-look-
ing touches Of hand-work. For ex-
ample, one navy blue sheer with COL
lar and cuffs of white faille has
corsage of white crochet at the waist
for a new 1914 note. This is a bit
of hand work you crochet artists
could apply to last years dark
sheer or crepe to give it a new
look. And If you're latter
you can have a field day with
tatting little edgings for suits,
dresses and jumpers. Take last
years navy blue number, scoop out
the neckline in a narrow, prettier
U, edge it with tatting and watch
your friends give you the eye when
you wear it.

for few minutes after new coal
is added.
Don't try to retard any coal FIRE
by keeping skimpy fire bed. Not
only is it more economical, but
it is more enicient. to keep a deep
fuel bed at all times. A deep fuel
bed prevents the fire from going
out; saves you frequent trips to the
furnace. You should fuel your
heater so that the top of the fire
bed is on a level with the bottom of
the firing door.
Don't poke or stir an anthracite
fire. This practice causes ashes and
burning Goals to fuse and results In
a bad case of clinkers.
Do. not operate a furnace fire
on stop-and-go system. Speeding
the fire up one minute and drasti-
cally retarding 1t the next wastes
large amounts of coal and time,
causes unnecessary discomfort due
to sudden temperature changes and
interferes with the efficient opera
ton of the fire besides.
Don't forget the bright spot"
This is an important step before
adding fresh coal-at every refuel-
ing.
Don't shake the CRATES too Wig
orously This practice disturbs the
fire; is even apt to dump it. Shake
the CRATES gently-with long, full
strokes.
Don't allow ashes to pile up under
the CRATES. They will not only
damage the CRATES, but interfere
with proper drafts as well. Anthra-
cite produces minimum OF ash, but
even so, it is wise to set aside a
regular daily time for their re-
moval-just so you won't forget
And, by the way-now is the time
to think about saving some ashes to
put on your Victory garden in the
early spring. They aerate the soil
and greatly improve draining If

Emily Post
Advises

Dear Mrs. Post: Don't you think it
curious that the wedding presents
sent me by my husbands sister and
brothers and their husbands and
wives inclosed a visiting card with
out word being written on any of
them? I don't know the members of
the family very well and it seems a
cold-blooded way to welcome me
into the family. Shall I be rather
formal now in writing my thank you
notes?
Answer-A card with nothing on
1t should not be taken as intended
cold -bloodedness Many people avoid
writing a message on the card with
a wedding present because it is GUS
tomary in all formal communities to
leave such cards On the presents, and
therefore personal messages would
seem unsuitable. Write the most
appreciative notes you can.

Spring Pickup Ideas

Southern belle fichu. This neckline
appears often in new dresses, some
times in the material of the dress,
sometimes in contrasting color or
print. One of the prettiest versions
OF this mode is pure silk print
arranged fichu fashion on stem of
a slim black dress. On another the
print scarf hangs point down in the
back with the other two corners
pulling through the slots on both
sides of the open neckline to lend
dashing note of color. This is a
fine idea for those of you who are
nimble with the needle.
CAN YOU TIE IT?-Many of the
new dresses remind us of the days
when we used to go to 10-year
birthday parties and have to stand
patiently while mother tied a big
bow that stood out pertly over our
derriere. The same kind of whooshy
sashes appear on slim spring party
short and long. For a
super-gala look, they are sometimes
embroidered with jewels, although
we must say they're prettier when
plain. Another spring fancy shown
by Hattie Carnetie is the money-bag
jeweled belt featured on navy blue
shantung switch" dress with self
peplum faced with vibrant pink that
you can switch on either side. A
similar jeweled belt shown on a
spring print would do fine double
duty on plain black dress. Black
velvet sashes are another sign of this
spring-very young and party look
ing when tied on dark print with
long streamers down the back. In
other words-it's not always what
you tie-it's the way you tie it.

the feeling that they are taking me
for granted
On my last birthday they said
they wanted to give me a gift, but
months have gone by and 1 have
not received it; while many of my
woman friends, who have had birth
days since mine, have gotten nice
presents and cards from their chill
dren.
Please print this letter as it may
wake up some other careless chill
dren. A NEGLECTED MOTHER.
Answer-Once I knew a woman
who was in het sos, strong, healthy,
robust, possessed of all her faculties
Except a little common sense who
refused to stir out of the house
unless she was leaning upon the
arm of one of her grandsons. No
matter what the boys were doing
they had to leave their work or
their play to support grandma when
she took her daily promenade. Asked
why she made this demand upon
them, she replied that it was be-
cause it made the neighbors see that
she was treated with respect by her
family.
l had thought that she was in
class all by herself for neurotic
vanity, but when you make yourself
miserable because your family don
go around blowing horns proclaim
ing how kind you are to them you
run her a close second.
You say that you love your son
and your grandchildren and that
they are grateful for all your kind
ness to them, but you are Crouch
ing because they don't make enough
fuss over you. Your grievance is
that they take you for granted, yet
that is the greatest compliment that
they can pay you. The people we
take for granted are those whose
goodness and kindness and love We
utterly trust.
If your children showed you nc
affection or appreciation, you would
have right to complain, but ii
seems that such is not the case
You are sure of their devotion, but
you are not satisfied with that. You
want them to make public dem
onstration of it. something that you
can faunt in the faces of your
friends and make them green-eyed
A lot of the neglect that mothers
complain of is nothing but their
childrens failure to send anniver-
sary presents and cards and flowers
on Mothers Day. And if that will
make a foolish old woman happy
I think the children should take the
trouble to minister to her seniIe
vanity.

cheaper cuts of meat in almost any
good market. These cuts, however,
require longer cooking than do the
better cuts which are more tender
Most of them mentioned should be
simmered gently until quite we'll
done, and very tender, because the
tissues must be broken down by the
heat which means that a sauce or
gravy, we'll seasoned, should accom-
pany each dish. Vegetables may be
added to most of them before they
have finished cooking Serve the
sauce with these. with lamb and
pork the gravy should be made with
water instead of the usual milk A
bouillon cube makes a richer gravy
if neededl
These are some of the less expen-
sive cuts: Breast of lamb. lamb
shanks, shoulder of lamb, brisket of
beef, short ribs of beef, spare ribs OF
pork, knuckle of veal, ham hook,
fresh pork hook, pigs knuckles and
the wings and back of chicken.
Lamb breast, cut in pieces, may be
made into an excellent stew using
bits of potato, onion, some chopped
parsley and few green peas. 1t may
also be stuffed and baked. Or pie
may be made of the remaining stew
on the second day. Sometimes the
meat and vegetables are simply
served in a border of rice or maca-
roni or creamed potatoes.
Lamb shanks are simmered until
nice and tender and then Drowned
quickly in the oven. Serve with mint
jelly
Brisket may be boiled with a few
vegetables, one turnip, an onion,
some celery tops until about to fall
apart. Serve the meat hot with a
cold sauce made of catsup, prepared
mustard and horse radish. The liu-
uid should be strained and SKINNED
and soup made of it later on. Or
1t may be used as a consomme.
Ham hooks, also pork hook, should

SPONGE CAKE: POTATO DISH

-
(ThdnkS to Mrs. G. E. H.,

I have an unusual sponge cake
recipe from cook book compiled by
the ladies of my church. Here it is:
Boil cup sugar in y cup water
until it spins a thread. Beat into
stiffly beaten whites of eggs. Add
beaten egg yolks and beat thorough
ly. Fold in lightly l cup cake flour
sifted times and l teaspoon lemon
extract. I invert pan 80 minutes
after baking, or until cold. BY Mrs
L. A. Morgan"
Here is good dish to serve when
you have meatless dinner:
Sweet Potatoes: Six medium DO
tatoes for persons. These are not
real large ones. Pare, and cut, II
large, to have all about one size.
Cook in saucepan on top of stove.
Add a good cup of water (cold,
salt and pepper, a good tablespoon
flour, and butter the size of wal
nut, in wartime, but when we have
all we need a large piece will i'm
prove the sauce as it cooks around
the potatoes. Stir occasionally
after the boiling point is reached as
they may stick. Keep heat low
during the cooking time. I think
you will find this a tasty dish. We
have used this recipe for years.
Glad to help the Clearing House
along, as I am a constant reader,
and enjoy it and thanks for the
helps.
