peignotr. Very new and endearingly
feminine Is rayon crepe gown APP
pliqued with delicate lace with
matching lace shoulderette that is
sheer enchantment over pretty
shoulders. A chiffon tie holds It
together.
For those whose sense of practi-
cality keeps pace with their senti-
ment. there are lovely simple negli-
gees-one Of delicate pink crepe with
fine edge of accordion pleated satin
that manages to look like prewar
and Paris. We also could care for
a simple number of blue and silver
striped satin. Both happily combine
functionalism and femininity and
with them you can wear a bevy Of
pretty gowns. One that's a fetch
ing bit of sorcery is white with
Point de Venise type lace bodice
laced up the front with slim string
ties OF the fabric.
There are also sweet as sugar sheer
CONNECTIONS with bits of rufies and
lace. And If you're not the lacy
type, you'll love a white handmade
gown piped in satin with a large
SdtAl UoWA1lot pcTCIltQ TlSuL at the
v Of the neckline. For the woman
who so oft complains I'VE can't all
be SLIM" there's an exquisite pure
silk gown with lace yoke and satin
trimmed midriff. 1t has a slimming
U back and extra fullness stemming
from the back of the waistline to
camouf1age any feshy spots.
The trousseau-minded are also on
the hunt for pretty slips. Pale yell
low heavy sheer makes one of the
orettiest-with sleek satin piping and
satin midrif. A pretty white crepe
affair is piped with slate blue and
has a garland of tiny flowers on the
chest inscribed Amor"
What we're proudest OF at this
point Is group of exquisite
handmades we have unearthed-at
prices that are sheer Joy. They're
exquisite treasures with touches Of
fine lace and delicate contrast pip
ings and appliques. One of the best
is bridal white rayon crepe with
baby-fine lace edging and pale blue
butterfly appliques perched on the
bodice.

Trousseau Pretties
By Evelyn Hayes

"But you must get that housecoat
for me. My husbands on his way
home!" said the pretty blond with
q catch in her voice and a tear in
her eye. The buyer, a sweet young
woman with more sentiment than
good sense, as she admitted, agreed
that she would get the housecoat
for her somehow"
To many q girl the words Ger
many surrenders" mean only that
Johnnie, Walt or Paul may be COM
Ing home, reunions and weddings
are in the air, and their first thought
Is that they don't want to be caught
short on glamour. Our scouts tell
us that all over town from the cafe
ter1as in the Pentagon to the chic
restaurants on Connecticut avenue,
the distan side Is discussing what
to buy in the way Of pretty clothes.
Whether the girls have been
stocking up on sorcery or are just
starting to buy, as we size up the
situation, what most of them want
Is glamour unlimited-and the devil
take the tailored stuff. They're in
mood to spend to the hilt for such
a bit of sheer enchantment as
chiffon-lined white lace peignoir
with Peter Pan collar delicately
beaded with pearls and a white
chiffon bow tie similarly lavished.
For this they'd have to spend to the
h1lt, but 1t would be well worth it
In the assurance of looking beauti-
full.
Girls who know that In their
maidless lives such things may be
Impractical, are going all out for
lingerie ensembles that are the ne
plus ultra in femininity. at Had
to Be You" is a set combining a
heavy white rayon sheer peignoir
you know, coat with straight
front and loose flowing back with
circular lace yoke matching the
yoke on the luscious white satin
gown that goes with 1t. Another
that would make almost any girl
look lovely as dream consists
OF a pale blue sheer gown with sheer
lace Empire bodice and pink satin
sash-with a matching blue sheer

STICKY WAFFLE IRON;
HOOKING RUGS.
From Miss E. T., Washington
Having frequently found useful
hints in your columns wish now to
give one in return. 1t is for Mrs.
N. c. F. re her sticky waffle iron. I
had the same experience and was
advised by the manufacturer to
prepare a thick paste of water and
ordinary COOKING soda (bicar-
Donate of soda sold at grocer's or
druggists shops. Spread this
THICKLY over both inner surfaces
of the waffle iron, let stand till 1t
sets" then turn on current and
allow to heat until it bubbles up
but DOES NOT BURN brown.
Turn off current and leave iron to
cool thoroughly. Then use a WIRE
brush or stiff metal mesh securing
sponge (the brush is better. Mrs.
F. may have one of those sold spe-
cially for brushing out the little
"waffles" in the iron. If not, try the
kind sold in paint stores. Brush
thoroughly, removing the dark stain
along with the soda She may need
to repeat the treatment several
times.
Then wash carefully in clean
Soapy water and dry well. After
this treatment put extra shortening
in her waffle mixture the first few
patches baked and also put some
directly on the two surfaces of the
waffle iron. AND DO NOT THERE
AFTER WASH the iron but brush
it THOROUGHLY free of any adj
herring bits of cooked batter after
each time it is used. The idea is to
allow the grease to fill up all the |
pores of the iron. After a few bak-
ings it will be sufficient just to use
normal amount of shortening in the
batter. Meanwhile use plain flour |
batter chat is, no corn meal or
buckwheat or soy flour mixture, as
these stick" more readily.
This soda paste is excellent also
to cleanse and sweeten aluminium
kettles and especially the percola-
tor. Cooking one stewing of rhu-
barb will clear a dulled saucepan,
dulled only by water in which |
are cooked. |

USING COOKIE CRUMBS:
RANGE CARE.

from Mrs. H. B. B., Arlington.)
Having read your page now for
three years, feel almost acquainted,
and am sorry to say we are moving
to a distant State, so I shall not be
able to read The Star after this
week. l have enjoyed it greatly,
especially the woman's page, the
editorial page with Mr. Tracewell's
nature articles, and shall miss it all.
have seen no reply to two of
your readers who wished recipes for
using cake or cookie crumbs. Here
is the best one 1 have found in more
than so years of cooking experience:
Crumb Cookies-One cup short
ening, l cup molasses, 2 cups granu-
lated sugar, cup cold water, eggs,
cups -four Sifted with 2 teaspoons
soda, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, l tea
spoon ginger, ! teaspoon cloves, l
teaspoon salt. Mix as usual, then
fold in cups of crumbs dried and
rolled fine. Equal parts of bread
and cake crumbs make a good pro-
portion and may be prepared the day
before. Break cookies or cake with
bread cruSts into small pieces and
dry thoroughly in a warm oven.
They should be crisp and rolled very
fine. Drop cookies 2 inches apart
on well-greased cookie sheet busted
with flour. Bake in 375-degree oven
till evenly Drowned. This makes
large quantity, but they keep well
till the last one is gone. After they
are dropped, fatten the top of each
little with fingers dipped in water,
rs they will bake more evenly and be
more symmetrical in shape.
To the reader who has trouble with
keeping her cast iron range black, I
would suggest something two friends
tried. Clean stove thoroughly, re-
moving any grease spots with am
monia. and when dry, paint it all
over with aluminium radiator enamel.
