Summertime Glassware

fine glass are almost as beautiful -
the flower heads. they select crystal
whenever possible for both house
and table decoration. The charm
ing cornucopias In the picture
would be perfect for the summer
dinner table, where their sparkle
would be picked UP by other glass
ware. Equally lovely for the man
tel, the console table or vanity
dresser, they lend themselves TO
countless arrangements.
For summer dining there are In
teresting pieces which are rama
wrapped. These go well with the
pottery dishes and wooden access
sories we all enjoy for outdoor din
ners. The colorful wrapping not
only gives an informal "just right"
appearance to the glass, but actu-
ally does insure against bumps and
quick changes in temperature. You
may safely turn hot tea into your
raffia-wrapped glasses without fear
of breakage.
Glass is one Of the most perfect
media for design. Strangely enough.
we select metals, porcelains and pot
terry for decorative accessories, and
seldom think of glass. Figures, ami
NAL or floral groups in fine polished
glass are amazingly beautiful. The
surface picks up light, shadow and
color Placed before colorful wall
hanging, its crystalline pattern
stands out with diamond like bril-
lance. Placed in the clear light OF
window 1t picks up color and
light and transmits it across tbs
room.
Many of us take glass for granted.
AS a Nation we have always been
wealthy in this commodity But
there is as much difference In fine
glass and the everyday variety as
there is in a carved emerald and q
piece of green bottle glass. Depth.
clarity, shape, polish and design all
are given minute attention in the
creation of a fine goblet, vase or
decorative accessory.
Washington shops now have q
large collection of glass Of all types.
There are innumerable ideas offered
for outdoor and terrace table ware.
Beverage sets for afternoon tea with
tall frosty looking glasses, generous
pitchers, and accompanying small
pieces for lemon, sugar, cakes and
sandwiches are delightful to look at
and exceedingly practical.
Vases of every kind and descrip-
ton from the miniature variety to
those large enough to hold half a
Towering tree will inspire home
gardeners to fill the house with
flower arrangements throughout the

Dear Miss Dix: am an Army wife
of 49, Have been married just two
months. My husband Is on the
ground crew of the Air Force and
has been told that he will be kept
at the station where he now is for
the duration. He is begging me to
come to him and make home for
him.
My problem is that I am living
with my family and I have never
been allowed to 60 any place away
from home without my mother, so
naturally my parents are very much
opposed to the idea Of my going so
far away from them. What shall

FOR SUMMER DINING-A lady
like dress-like a lady-speaks in
well-modulated tones. Such q dress
has lines that are clear, distinct and
simple, with no touch of blatancy
or obviousness.
Like ladies, such dresses are rarer
than they should be-especially in
the budget ranges. That's why we
gave . joyful sigh when we found
. beauty the other day. It's q long
dinner dress Of sheer rayon with v
neckline, sleeves cut to just below
the elbow, and slim cascade swirl
ing down the side of the skirt, un-
furling flashes of its contrasting
lining as 1t goes. The colors are
beautiful-blue with fuchsia, black
with fuchsia, orchid with chartreuse,
white with red or white with white.
AL in all, it's as lovely a dress as
we've seen for the money and would
make q wonderful year-in, year-out
dinner dress. We think it's both
decorative and dignif1ed enough to
make q charming choice for the
mother Of the bride, or any other
femme who wants gracious dress
for an important occasion.

Emily Post Advises

A college girl describes her new
writing paper as follows: "It is
marked at the top with Betty
Smith and underneath this line,
the college address. I intend to use
1t for all general purposes. My
roommate says it's incorrectly
marked; that it should have been
Miss Betty Smith or, better still.
Miss Elizabeth Smith. Why is this?
No one calls me Elizabeth"
The why" is. that from the
standpoint of convention, a name
followed by address should be writ
ten in full, exactly as an envelope
in return should be addressed to
you. Also, when using your sur
name 1t is in better taste to give
your name in full and not use the
dimirutive. On the other hand,
paper marked Betty" and nothing
more is very best taste on paper
that is used for letters to personal
friends. But Betty" with an ad-
dress below would suggest a hat
shop or other place Of business. II
you stamp your full name and ad-
dress with a neat rubber stamp on
the face of the envelope, this would
comply with Post Once regulations

Betty superfiuous. Or you could Gf

WASHINGTON.

Being a working wife myself I
have found several menus mainly
prepared the evening before, salts
factory for evening dinners. I work
on the premise that something SIM
pie but bit different makes up for
elaborate serving not possible under
conditions of 6-day working week.
A suggested menu is as follows
"Hcrs d'Oeuvres." Use cream cheese
with fine slices of cucumber (not
peeled) and finely sliced radishes
(also not peeled, thus giving an in
teresting color to otherwise colorless
dish. Make into shape and place
on dish with potato chips. Guests
make own sandwiches" and wine
0ess work than highballsl is served
I have two main dishes which I
repeat. Russian Meat Balls:
a. pound veal, ground; "a pound
beef, ground; 2s pound pork, ground
l cup dry breadcrumbs, / onion,
grated: eggs, 2 tablespoons fat,
cans condensed tomato soup, 2 cans
water, cup sour cream.
Mix meat, crumbs, season to taste,
egg and onion. Form into small
balls and brown in fat. Cook in
tomato soup and water l hour and
just before serving add cream. All
but cream can be prepared previous
evening. Serve in same casserole
baked in.
Baked Chicken: Have chicken
cut at joints. Dip first in egg, then
fipur, and season to taste Brown
ID stewing pan with fat and Drowned
finely chopped onion. Place in cas-
serole. Add equal amounts water
ahd tomato paste or tomato soup or
catsup. Bake in slow oven about l
hour This can be made previous
evening and rewarmed in same cas-
serole.
Rice Mold: Boil rice and mix
with stewed, finely chopped onions
and green pepper and ample amount
of fat to make mold stay" in shape.
Rewarm rice for dinner in mold
placed in pan of hot water. Gravy
from either of main dishes used on
rice.
Avocado, green pepper. grapefruit

a can OF mushroom buttons and
sprinkled with parsley.
Fresh green peas or the frozen
peas may be used. Cook until ten
der, add butter and sprinkle with
lemon juice. Little new potatoes
or balls of potatoes cut with a vege-
table cutter are cooked the same
way.
Serve strawberries in generous
plates, with sugar and cream and a
cake of some sort. Since the des-
sert is an integral part of the meal
a spoonful of ice cream might be
served atop the berries.
Small hot rolls with butter. They
may come from some good bakery
and be heated at the last moment.
And I think you will have q delect-
able feast without haste or worry.
OF course the coffee must be good,
that goes without saying. 1t might
be served in the living room after
dinner If you want it that way.
1t may not sound like q very
full and heavy meal, but it is salts
flying and contains everything need
ed Tor perfect meal. And 1t Is all
that can be easily handled by one
person who has also worked at an
Office on the day she serves it.
A salad may be introduced if you
care to undertake it, but with the
salad accompaniment Of the con-
somme it is not really a necessity.
In fact you donot need it.
An afterthought-In case you are
afraid to tackle the pastry cases
(and they are somewhat frighten-
ing for an amateur cook, let me
suggest that you use instead some
nice hot biscuit, brown nicely, split
and butter while hot and serve with
the chicken and mushrooms and
sauce poured over generously. If
biscuit is used the rolls may be dis
pensed with. of course.
