Cool, and when mix ture begins to thicken, fold in sliced mushrooms. Chill until firm. When ready to serve. spoon into bouillon cups and garnish with 8 slice of button mushroom and 8 sprig of. parsley. Serve with slice of lemon.
 Large salads of mixed greens are important hot weather foods. Use not only lettuce, but other avail able greens such as Chinese cab bage, watercress, little tender leaves of spinach, parsley, the feathery and delicate tops of celery, and garden greens.
 Vegetable and olive oil are scarce or expensive, but a good dressing can be made with ld-havored fat with this newly developed recipe:
 Salad Dressing
 (Makes s4 Cup)
 Beat together 1 or eggs and 3 tablespoons vinegar until smooth. Add 1-3 cup milk, tablespoon salt, F teaspoon sugar, F teaspoon mustard, 1s teaspoon celery seed, and a dash of paprika. Cook over hot water, stirring constantly, until the mixture has just thickened (about as thick as heavy cream). Three or 4 egg yolks left from other cooking may be used in place of whole eggs. Store in the refri- gerator in a covered container.

mannequins, showing off clothes which came from the world-known fashion houses of the Rue de la Paix and the Avenue Matignon, were conspicuous by their absence.
 The feminine element-and the masculine one, too, for that matter represented completely new or der. What it lacked in tone it made up for in color and a certain lusty eXuberance. The younger set wore dresses which were practical and looked comfortable, but most of them were hatless and stockingless. The older women clung to the more conservative accessories-large hats profusely trimmed with flowers, feathers and veiling-and there were quite few silver fox stoles.
 The simplicity of styles was com pensated for by these elaborate hats, large shoulder satchels and huge chunks of jewelry.
 The fact that the metro" the very expensive horsedrawn "fiacre" of pre-taxi days and the bicycle are still the only means of trans port, explains the new free-and- easy attitude towards dress which this summer Is the keyhote of style

WE, THE WOMEN
THE WOMEN Mrs. Joe Prefers Hubby At Home To Trip Abroad

Joe as though the danger of American men settling in Europe is tied up with their getting their wives and families over there.
 From where she sits, it looks to the service wife as though the American men most likely to set- tie in foreign countries are those who fall in love with the women of those countries. And the way to encourage such alliances is to leave American women over here, and keep American men overseas. GET VETERANS HOME
 But Mrs. Joe will quietly give up her plans for getting to Eu- rope, if the President comes through with bis own plan. And that is to get veterans of the European campaigns back home through replacements as quickly as possible.
 What Mrs. Joe really wants is not trip to Europe though that would be an, experience that would make her feel less like a little stay-at-home compared with her travelled husband. What she wants is a chance to resume her marriage again. And if she can do that she will be perfectly happy to stay right on in Podunk. But If her husband has been in Eu- rope two years or more you can't blame her for thinking Uncle sam ought to start considering her marriage and what Is happening to it.

me. She looks upon me as 8 very poor substitute for your father, and, of course, she's right"
 "If you'd wait 8 moment" said Emily. perhaps I could persuade her"
 She went back toward the ward, and when she reappeared, she was smiling.
 You're wrong, she likes you, she thinks you're grand. And she's perfectly satisfied to remain here. She asked me to go back to Cedar Court, pack a bag for her with the things she'll need and leave note for Gus so that he wouldn't be scared"
 'I,n go with you" he said. I'm all through; this was the last call" THEY went back to Cedar Court Il and let themselves in with Hilda's key, of which she was in- ordinately proud. While Emily packed, putting in the picture of Gus - showing him stern, large and very self conscious in his wedding clothes. Jim prowled around the house chewing on cold pipe. Its a crime," he announced, coming to stand before her, as she bent over the shabby little suitcase, "a Kid like that getting married. And she hasn't any business having chil- dren, she's frail and undernour- ished and" ....s..-
 She's in love-" said Emily calmly, "and Gus has a good job at the munition plant. Operates a punch press. He may be drafted but at present he's deferred. Hilda's had 8 pretty hard time. Her mother was chronic cardiac, her father a drunken old creature who deserted his little family years ago. She has an aunt who is good to her after a fashion. But she's never had anything really her own till she acquired Gus and this little house. She'll be all right She'll have her baby, she'll bring it up by the book and she'll make 8 home for it and for its father"
 Someone was coming up the steps. Emily and Jim regarded one another. A heavy step but with youth and impatience in it. They had left the door open. Gus came barging through, shouting at the top of his voice, "Hilda," he shouted, they, Hilda ."
 No good smell of dinner cooking greeted him. Emily came out and spoke to him quietly. He stared at her moment, the color left his square thick-featured face. He said, My God, what's happened to her, Miss Hall?'
 She's perfectly all right" said Emily. This is Dr. Thompson :. he'll tell you more about it."
 She went back to the bedroom leaving the two men alone. A mo- ment later, the suitcase in his enormous hand, Gus was headed fo rthe hospital. He declined their offer to drive him. He said, 'YouIl miss your dinner. It ain't very far, I'll take the street car :" He shuffled his feet a moment, and | added. T Gee, thank you" he | said miserably, and then with Q | great unashamed gulp If sny- thing had happened to Hilda!"
 He locked the door after them | and went of at furious pace to- ward the corner.

BEAUTIES HINTS VapOrs From Bath Blend Rouge
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Putting on "war paint"-all but powder-and then hopping into the bath tub sounds like deliber- ate plan for wrecking makeup doesn't it?
 Not so at all, models who use this method say. Vapors from 8 warm bath loosen up mask-hke foundation, blend rouge out into ineffable softness, they tell me.
 If you want your makeup to look as if it had been blended by professionals fingers, try their method. When you get out of the tub, simply pat your face with 8 towel to mop up any moisture, and apply powder.
 A slick technique of applying cheek rouge comes from another talented glamour girl-Ann c'Eadie Was a Lady" Miller. She stipples the cream on each cheek in freckle-like dots, and melts these into tender pink creScents with fingers dipped in cold water.

this Lanvin model of greige crepe. The scarlet-white straw hat has new bulky look. in Paris. The, only other trend is the predominating use of bright colors, as well as white and beige, in lieu of the more sophisticated black.
 Strong contrasts are provided, too, by the oddly assorted access sories. It is useless today in Paris to try and match up accessories. Even the woman with an unlimited dress allowance finds this too much of problem and is content to take what she can find. Black gloves, bag and shoes are about the only matching" that can be achieved and even that is diff cult.
 The patriotic tricolor combina- tions, which were so popular after the liberation, have almost com- pletely disappeared. On the other hand, white hats proved by far the most popular and were worn with the fashionable pale grays, greige and beige, as well as with the more avid colors. Parisiennes are still wearing the ultra-high cork-platformed sandals. Leather today is as scarce as it was during the occupation.

 Every day someone is sure to ask. which is more important, the bidding or the play? Both play an equally important part in your game. You cannot get very far in contract bridge if you do not get into the right contract: when you do, you must be able to play the cards well in order to make large percentage of your contracts.

Of course there was not much to the play of the hand. Declarer won the opening lead and then led the queen of trumps. West covered and dummy won, and the king of hearts was cashed.

THE STORY: When Jim Thompson becomes Doctor Halls assistant, he joins the Hall household. Nancy Hall, spoiled and bored, is fiattered by his att tentions but cannot forget Drew Warner. Mrs. Hall would like Nancy to encourage wealthy Frank Edgar. Edgar, however, seems more interested in the other daughter, Emily, a Visiting Nurse intent on her job.
 Emily receives a call to attend a patient of Jim's.

 The moment she went into the very small house and saw hel patient she knew Hilda Allen Dr. Hall had brought Hilda into the world, and here she was mar ried, established in a little home and, it transpired, going to have a baby of her own.
 "Why, Hilda," said Emily, as- tonished "I'd forgotten = that is, I never knew your married name"
 Miss Hall!" Hildas delicate drawn face was illuminated. "l hadn't any idea The doctor said he'd have a nurse come at once. He's at the hospital, he said he'd get here as soon as he could She looked desperately anxious. T was so scared" she added, when I heard Dr. Hall was i'll. l didn't know what to do ."
 She explained the circumstances haltingly and Emily said briskly: to bed. I'll help you" She took the frightened girl into the bed- room, found nightgown, robe and slippers under her direction, un- dressed her deftly, took her pulse and temperature. She asked, OuTe all alOueT

 A little later Emily opened the door for Jim and stood for a mo- ment in the narrow hallway, giv- ing him her report. Together they went back to the girl.
 Presently Jim went next door to telephone. There was no phone in the Karsten cottage. He re- turned and smiled reassuringly at his patient. ''The ambulance will be here very shortly" he said.

 She waited while Hilda was ad- mitted and taken to the ward. After a time Jim came out to her. He said, smiling, Shell be all right. I'll look in on her later this evening. She's better of here with someone to look after her than at home. She'll have to say in bed, perfectly quiet, for some time" He added. q don't think she believes

Absorbing Sunshine

<AU0VA OAAA6 6UAASAAAuC
 Our whole family is what you might call 8 cult of sun worship pers. Our two children have always run with as few clothes as the law will allow. The rest of us bask in the sunshine as much as the law and the negihbors' sense of pro- priety will allow. Some one tells my husband that after the skin be- comes well tanned it will not ab- sorb any more health giving rays as 1t become too tough. (S. J)
 Answer = Tanned skin is not tougher, in fact it is softer, smooth CT, of finer texture, healthier in every respect than skin that has not been exposed to the sun. It still absorbs plenty of ultraviolet, though perhaps not so much as it did when exposed before it had be- come tanned. But then, you don't need so much vitamin D now that you have absorbed so much ultra violet and stored so much viosterol. All you need now is a maintenance ration of sunshine daily.
