Sporting Sugcr in Feeding Crowds
To make sugar supplies go farther
industrial feeding specialists make
the following suggestions:
l. Save extra juice from canned
OF cooked fruit. Use in sauce for
pudding and ~fritters; to moisten and
sweeten crumbs for brown betty; to
add flavor and ~sweetening to gelatin
desserts; to moisten and sweeten
diced fresh fruit in fruit cup.
| g. Save crumbs from cake and
cookies to use in bread buildings.
Use of sweet crumbs in such mix
lures allows sugar to be cut in half.
g.. Instead of cake frostings and
filings, which call for considerable
sugar, spread warm cake with mar
malade, jam or preserves; serve
Jelly rolls, c,stard.filled rolls, or
Boston cream cake instead Of frost
ed cake. Sheet cakes require only
half as much frosting as layer cakes,
4. Use dried fruits, rich in natur-
al sugar, to add sweetness to des-
serts. Fill layer cake with chopped
dried fruit, mixed with nuts, and
moistened with honey or corn sirup.
Make steamed dried fruit into fruit

So This Is New York
BY North Cullohun

Moses Myares whose name has
appeared in this column before is
happier now. He is the Filipino bow
who was living here at the time Of
Pearl Harbor and whose mother was
in Manila at the, time. Up until a
few days ago, Moses did not know
what had become of his mother. He
couldn't even get word as to wheth-
er she was alive or dead, much less
anything regarding her status as q
prisoner Of the Japs. Such uncer-
tainty was bitter for Moses-almost
worse than if he had known the
worst, he said. Customers, including
myself, in the restaurant where he
works, came to, think Of Moses as
being always sad-faced-that is un-
til the other day. For word came
that his mother was safe in north
ern Luzon-and a glad light came
to the face of Moses, probably some
thing like that which came to his
famous namesake when he had
brought the Children Of Israel to the
edge of the wilderness. The modern
Moses is going back to Manila to
meet his mother. He already has his
ticket. I'd sort of like to
be there when he sees her again.

pcttern Alteration

Puttern Alteration
Before the scissors are turned
loose on the goods, check the fit Of
the paper pattern carefully-and
alter it if necessary.
Clothing specialists Of the u. S.
Department Of Agriculture explain
that many women have figure ir-
r~egularities which require changes
in either pattern or basted dress for
a perfect fit. The easier way is to
alter the pattern.
Altering the pattern also often
saves fabric in cutting. For example,
when the figure is shorter than
average, shorten the pattern before
cutting out. With present textile
shortages, avoiding all possible
waste of material is important.
For any home sewer who usually
has to make many changes in pat
terms, a well fitting basic pattern is
an important time and energy saver,
because it saves taking so many
measurements on each pattern.
To make a basic pattern, the
clothing specialists recommend Sc
lecting a simple shirtwaist style
with a plain skirt-a six-gored skirt
is easy to fit and make. Then make
it UP in muslin or other Inexpensive
cloth. After altering the muslin un-
til it looks right, rip it apart, press
the pieces flat, and cut a paper pat
tern from them. Use this as q guide
in checking lines and proportions Of
other patterns. 1t is a good idea to
make a new basic pattern each year,
using an ~up-to-date style, so as to
have the shoulder, armhole and
waistline that are in fashion.
