Clearing the Tracks!
Bv Betty Miles

A comparatively new venture In
private school education, and one
worth talking about, we believe, Is
a local co-educational junior-senior
high school built to bend to the
needs of individual children. Its
purposes provide opportunities for a
child to make as rapid progress
as he is able, to avoid unnecessary
duplication of a subject, and to aid
in accomplishing an objective in a
minimum length of time
Many children are not able to fit
into typical school pattern-some
children do not work at all we'll in
large group. 1t is for these that
the school is designed.
Among those who find setur
such as this the answer to their
needs is the very bright child, ham,
pered by the rate of speed of the
average class, champing at the bit
| to learn at his own rate Their
there is the child whose self-confl-
dence has been shattered, as a re-
suit of any number of causes. Ere.
quently swallowed up in a larger
group, this child has a chance te
develop as an individual when treat.
ed individually, and when function.
ing as part of much smaller
group.
Wartime, with its resulting popu.
lation shifts, frequently renders tn,
youngster of the house a casualty
His credits become SO mixed VI
that this matter has to be ATTENDED
to before he can enter public schoo
at his own level. In this case, tn,
child may study for the length o
time necessary to straighten out hi
credit deficiency.
Also, there are children who's
rate Of progress has been impaire,
as result of illness. These children
find a setup like this the answer t.
their individual problems

Quality Counts

telry of today veers away from the
cute and amusing Sterling silver Is
plated with gold and set with simu-
lated stones as expertly and deli
Icately as the finest gems are set.
The single, "odd" piece Of costume
jewelry to complement variety Of
costumes continues to be made. But
emphasis, as in real jewelry, Is on
sets Of jeweled pieces. Scatter jew
els in small pins are matched in
contour and motif with earrings,
earrings are matched with bracelets
and clips with pins.
Being an admirer of smart wom-
en- wherever I see them, I have
nonetheless been struck by the mo-
notony with which they place their
decorative pieces of jewelry. Why
should jewelry be worn only on q
lapel, around the neck, around the
wrist and on the earlobe? Clever
women who can figure out new
twists for their hair, new ways to
cinch a belt and new ways to turn
up their sleeves should be able to
invent new ways of wearing jewelry.
like to see pin or a clip fast
ened on a belt, holding a scarf high
around the throat, on the pocket
flap of a jacket. on a little ribbon
fob at the waistline of a dress, or,
for sentiments sake, just over the
heart.
I like to see pearls twisted with
gold chains or colored beads around
the throat or entwined with braids.
I like to see brooches pinned in
necklaces or pinned in the center
of ribbon bracelets.
I like to see a jeweled pin on a
hat or glove. especially if it is
matched or related to a pin at the
throat.

tWel-knoWh designer OF costume 9ewe
Like Danny Kaye, the costume
jewelry of the past several years
has sung a song Of jingle-jangle
which sometimes amounted to
clank-clank. II these seem harsh
words coming from jeweIry de-
signer, let me hasten to explain
that I use them only to underscore
the fact that Junk" has had its
day. The trend towards fine, real
looking costume jewelry, though 1t
was primarily induced by war short
age of base metals, is here to stay
Probably my only qualification for
speaking scientifically Is that nv
grandfather invented the life-pre-
server, but I feel that some OF the
most interesting developments OF
metallurgy during the war will re-
turn, to the benefit of decorative
jewelry for women.
It is women themselves, of course
who have put thumbs down on the
hunky, gaudy gadget and who are
determined from now on to have
costume jewelry which is "all real
but the stones" Partly, it is the
present-day leaning toward quality
The intrinsic value of a gold-sur-
faced sterling silver piece, plus its
greater delicacy and good taste, has
appealed strongly to women. In
creasing proof is the extent to which
fine costume jewels have replaced
other trims on even the most high
style fashions.
All this is not to say that all cos
tune jewelry is to be appraised SIM
ply for classicism of design, any
more than all real jewelry. In
costume jewelry, as in real jewelry
the charm of the conversation

MARZIPAN CANDY.
From Mrs. E. A. E., Alexandria,
In answer to the request for a
recipe for Marzipan candy here are
the directions my cook book gives
Two egg whites, l cup almond
paste (22s cups shelled almonds
make l cup paste), u teaspoon
lemon or vanilla. l cup confection-
er's sugar more or Less.
Beat the egg whites and mix with
the almond paste Add the f1aVoring
and enough sugar to make the mix
ture stiff enough to handle. After it
has stood overnight it may be
nodded into shapes of fruits and
colored with vegetable colors or it
may be cut in small pieces and
dipped in chocolate or used as the
center for cherries or dates. The
almond paste may be bought at a
confectioners or the almonds may
be blanched and pounded.
From Mrs. V. M, Riperddle.l
To r. T.: To make the simple
cooked marzipan dissolve 3 cups of
sugar in l cup of water in a sauce
pan and add cups of ground al
monds. Cook, stirring constantly
until the mass will not adhere to the
pan. Then remove from heat and
turn out onto clean marble slab,
enamel table top or baking sheet.
Knead until smooth, adding almond
or other f1avoring to taste and COL
oring while mixture is still warm
Shape as desired either by pressing
small DieceS of IL into moldS Or roll -
ing out and cutting with small cut
ter.
The uncooked marzipan, while
easier to make, does not keep for
any length Of time

PLANTS FOR SUNNY WINDOW.
(From J. E. McC., Frederick, Md
To E. E. Washington. In reply
to your request concerning salts
factory plants for a sunny window,
let me heartily recommend African
violets.
For the best returns for a little
money spent in purchasing the
plants, and for requiring such a
minimum of attention, the beautiful
violet cannot be equaled. 1t will
almost kill itself blooming, and the
flowers are very bright and lovely
Then, too, it is so simple to propa-
gate. 1t likes to be 'potbound," :"
thus taking up very little space.

you start it's leaves and discover
that you feel like Mother Nature
each time new life appears, you
will find that your two nice win
dows are just about u the space
you will want There must be
reason for the popularity of this
flower, for the homes in this vicin-
ity boast of at least one window
of violets.

To expcdiate American en-

The main features of these
bills are - First, the president

DUMBARTON OAKS.

DUMBARTON OAKS, the
topic that is finding a place on
the program of all organizations
these days, was discussed Thurs
day afternoon before the mem
bers of the Womens Society and
their guests in the parlors of the
Methodist Church. Mrs. Donald
Mcclure, president of the De-
troit League of Women Voters
was the speaker, substituting
for Mrs. Orville Bond who is Ill.
Mrs. Mcclure described the
organization of Dumbarton Oaks,
illustrating with chart the
various divisions and their inter-
relation, related the duties OF the
Assembly and the Economic
Council and gave answers 10 the
various criticisms that have
arisen.
NAME UNFORTUNATE
"The name Dumbarton Oaks"
she said, unfortunate in that
il gives undue importance TO the
place, the fact that it is a United
Nations organization should be
stressed. United States, Great
Britain and Russia worked for
two and one-half years on plans
and the resultant organization
is a series of compromises, rea!
common denominator of agree
ments, and should be accepted
with perhaps few changes
which may be made at the San
Francisco meeting, April 25th.'
Some of the critics are per-
fectionists,' Mrs. Mcclure con-
tinued, land want to go further
than these plans. They wish to
give up sovereignty of nations
entirely, but most of us wish 10
retain it. Since the Moscow con-
ference we have worked for the
sovereignty of nations" Mrs.
Mcclure stressed the fact that
the General Assembly is simply
a preventative organization, all
problems are referred to it, and
eits osAs e.in x7nsSsasisasS sfapsssSStsSs .
its chief function being to solve
the problems that cause wars.
BASIC FUNCTION
The speaker touched on the
Breton Woods conference stat
ing that it is the economic instru-
