II they wore short sleeves, they pre-
ferred. likewise, q length which hit
the widest part Of the upper arm

the bony elbow point. I learned in
Paris that waistline which dips
slightly In back gives q side view

Many Parisiennes believed that
hats and hairdos should be one
sided, on the ground that the reg
ularity of q center part or an even
hat worn straight will show up. by
contrast, the irregularities Of fea-
lures and face contour.
One of the most elegant women
I knew in Paris believed the pru>,
tones cleared sallow skins bette
than any other colors and were the
most flattering for the average COM
plexion and eyes. She wore mid
night blue chiffon lingerie and liked
navy face wells, and, except when
deeply sun-tanned, eschewed yell
lowy reds in rouge and ipstick.
This same mondaine once lee
tured me severely for buying the
wrong shade of beige. Green beiges
and browns and tans, she declared,
were the least flattering, bringing
out ruddy complexion blotches and
doing no good to eyes and hair.
Yellow casts Of these colors would do
for the extremely beautiful, but rosy
beiges were really the thing-as near
the tone Of ones own skin as pos
sible. She herself loved dull black
costumes set of by gloves and stock
lngS just a shade darker than her
skin, and two shades darker than
her pearls. Sometimes her hat
matched the gloves and was swathed
In yards of pearl-colored maline.
When one Of our Partisan friends,
feminine, came back to Paris from
a visit to the United States, the
three things she talked about were
our superplumbing, streamlined
kitchens and scarcity of mirrors.
Mirrors abound In Paris Cnot ar,
adv). Every well-dressed home had
at least one fun-length, triple look
Ing glass, placed to catch the best
daylight and cunningly lit for eve
ming. The morning preview of ones
good and bad points, back, front and
sides. was as much a ritual as brush
Ing ones teeth and hair; and all day
long Parisians saw themselves re-
f1ected in wide expanses of glass in
shops and drawing rooms and prac-
tically anywhere a mirror could be
tackled up. No smart woman would
dream of buying a hat without first
seeing herself wearing it, full-length
and from all angles, to be sure it
was properly proportioned to skirt
length, hip width and general sill
houette, no matter how well it be-
came her face. When she bought a
dress, she first studied herself in it
before a glass, sitting down, walk
ing, turning about as well as stand
ing.
Dressing was a serious business In
preWar Paris. I hope some day not
too far of, Parisians can be seri-
ously frivolous again.

BUDGET ADVICE.
Thanks to Mrs. w. r. A.
Alexandria,
was tempted to answer Mrs. j. e.
s. Of Washington's plea for budget
advice, out I didn't. Now Mrs. e. B.
of Washington says 1t can't be done
in these times and feed the family
well. That does challenge me!
To begin with, let me say, do not
budget any more. do, however,
keep a record OF expenses 80 that at
the end Of the year We can add up
and find out just what we did do
with our funds.
There are two adults and three
children in our family. ages l year,
6 years and 10 years. My husbands
lunches and occasionally dinners
when he works nights do not come
out of my food allowance. We live
out far enough that my only way
to shop is to have the car once a
week. That day I market for the
week. did some one say "impos-
sible?'D I do it at one or the large
chain stores which helps me keep
expenses down. I spend from $3.50
to $3.50 on market day depending
on how many of the big staple ar
ticles I need 90 pounds sugar, or 10
pounds -four or 3-pound can short
ening, etc.
We use S quarts milk every other
day, sometimes 6 quarts, } to IN
pounds butter week, at least 2
dozen eggs, all delivered by the dairy.
That bill averages 81 a week. for
got to say that the baby gets can
evaporated milk a day plus at least a
can of baby vegetables and a half
a can of fruit.
I don't believe it's necessary to
give children an elaborate lunch, but
l do see to 1t that it includes a
protein (egg sandwich, peanut but
ter or cheese sandwich or plain
cooked egg. raw or cooked vege-
table, raw or cooked fruit, and
milk. Dinners include meat at least
five times a week with an egg or
cheese dish on the extra day and
usually fish on Friday, vegetables,
starchy food (potatoes, rice, spa
ghetti, etc. and a salad and always
dessert, often fruit or some simple
children's favorite.
I've gone to some length in dis
cussing this and I've probably for
gotten some important points, that
I'll remember after I've gone to bed.
Oh, yes, use oleomargarine in bak-
ing since butter has been rationed
and I make all our ice creams and
ices, and do almost all of the baking
which also keeps expenses down. We
use fresh or frosted vegetables
whenever possible, but occasionally
just before market day I have to re-
sort to cans. I buy a roast for Sun
day which can be used in several
ways at later meals and fresh meats
Steaks. chop. cutlets) I freeze in
top of ice cube trays.
Now come on and challenge me!

= NEVER FAIL RICE:


APRICOT GLAZE SUBSTITUTE?
Thanks to Mrs. E. A. l.,
Arlington.)
Cooking Rice: Maybe some one
would like a simple, never-fail way
to cook rice. The best rice for fluffy
results is the long grain rice. Use
about four times as much water as
rice. Drop rice into boiling water
and boil for Is minutes, stirring as
often as necessary to keep grains
from sticking to pan. Pour rice into
colander or strainer and rinse it
with clear water. II use hot when
I'm in a hurry and don't want to
cool rice) Salt rice to taste and
place over a pan of boiling water
until the rest of dinner is ready.
Can be prepared early in the morn
ing and steamed for dinner. It's
easy, and it works!
Can any one tell me of substi-
tute for the apricot glaze for Baba

Ham in HAMBURGER

Cook ham thoroughly before add
ing it to hamburger mixture. This
is the advice of meat cookery spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, especially to
outdoor cooks this summer. Because
ham or other pork adds extra flavor
to hamburgers, a mixture of
chopped beef and ham with chopped
onions and other seasons is a IA
vorite for campfire meals
Very often picnickers like their
hamburg gers rare. In any case it
is difficult to be sure of thorough
cooking over the uneven heat of
an open fire especially in the eve
ming when the cooking must be
done by poor light. All pork. cured
or fresh, must be cooked we'll done
to be safe, though beef may be
eaten rare This can be- arranged
by cooking ham or other pork be-
fore mixing it with the raw ground
beef and seasonings About a third
as much ham as beef makes an
appetizing hamburger.
Summer Beverage
For cooling delightful summer
beverage serve apricot juice. Keep
some cans or jars in the refrigerator
ready to use when thirst overtakes
you. A drizzle of lemon juice gives
pleasing sparkle.
