The Mills Grind Slowly

Chatter within feminine circles has not changed substantially since the war, although the end thereof came eight months ago yesterday. Wom- On can still find stimulating interest in the shortage of butter and n.y. Ions, the skimpiness of fashions, and the high-cost of living. The butcher, the grocer, and the stock ing merchant, they feel, is still playing favorites, and woe to him once that heralded and bountiful postwar market is laid before them Right now, they're playing along with their pet peeve, because he occasionally doleS out half-pound of butter or a sleazy pair of rayons which hardly come above the knee. We are merely quoting!

By BETTY BLANCHARD

Though most clubs and other or- garlizations will suspend activities this week in observance of Holy Week, the calendar promises whirl of parties, meetings, and par leys during the weeks following Easter and through to June.
 Bustles Be Hanged
 One of the largest gatherings of the year was the Women's Club luncheon on Wednesday, at which more than PTS members and their friends, prettily bonneted in a var iety of spring flowers, enjoyed a Jenny Lind recital, by Marion Avery Roberts. The soloist appeared in a yoluminous hoop-skirted gown, sim liar to the type always worn by the famous Swedish nightingale. One could not help but ponder how a lady of the Gaslight Era would manage in the modern kltch- enette. The costume should also prove particularly interesting in all early-morning jam on the bus.
 Ladies Will Be Lovely
 The Easter Parade come Sunday promises a display of finery more elaborate and more elegant than any flotilla of finery launched forth since the golden era of 1929. Flowers, flares, and furs will transform form- CT women riveters into a vision of feminine loveliness. For the special benefit of the returned veteran, long isolated at a jungle outpost or desert camp, Dame Fashion has placed greater emphasis upon the feminine note. It would seem that designers have gathered all that was soft and delicate and womanly in the past and incorporated 1t in present showings. Flowers bloom in abundance on hats as they did in the gay sos. The two-piece en- Semble, perennial favorite of the American woman. is now tucked, scalloped, and flared, stealing a dominant note of the lavish era prior to World War I. Frills, turhe- lows and laces are also making a return engagement after a long ab- sence from the fashion scene. And to make sure nothing will be lacking in the way of feminine appeal. ye dictators of style advise that Milady pile on the jewels, the furs, and other trimmings that make a fine figure of woman.

 nation, vetearnS should contact or write to the nearest VA contact unit at 46 and 47 P. O. Bldg, An chorage.
 Q. Are veterans seeking jobs with the United States Civil Serv- ice Commission?
 A. Yes, in great numbers. A civil service commission official told the recent 25th national con- vention of the Disabled American Veterans that 49 per cent of all men employed in government civil service jobs are veterans. He ex- pected the ratio to be 75 per cent by July 1, 1947.
 Q. Is there a "home town" drug prescription service now available for disabled veterans with service connected ailments?
 A. This is true in 29 states only. Check carefully with your nearest Veterans Administration office to determine if this service has been instituted in your state.
 c. Who is entitled to receive an automobile under the bill that pro- vides such conveyances for World War II disabled veterans?
 A. Under the act he must be a disabled veteran of World War II entitled to compensation for loss or loss of use, of one or both legs at or above the ankle. Cost of each vehicle is limited to $160O.
 e. Does the term "Compensa- ton" instead of Pension" affect monthyl payments to service dis abled veterans?
 A. No, the legislation changing the word Pension" to "Compen- sation" is merely a technicality. It has been the contention of the Dis abled American Veterans and other groups that these payments are not pensions but compensation for wounds, injuries or disabili- ties incurred in active service dur ing time of war.
 e. Can on-the-job trainees ob- tian special tools from the Veter- ans Administration?
 A. It is possible to obtain special tools from the Veterans Admins tration for on-the-job training courses. The employer should send to VA a written request. The cost cannot exceed $100.

wish.
Third in the great triumvirate of
Christmas cookies are springerle.

rotary beater for good five min

sugar and beat steadily for 80 min

arm has ceased to function from
sheer exhaustion and the clock says
okay, add Il of an ounce of anise

should be of consistency to roll

and press the springerle molds deep
to make good impression. Cut in
rectangles and let stand in a cool
place overnight. Next day put on a
Toured tin and bake in moderate

I'll relent about the beating. If
you use an electric beater, the eggs
