Football for Grandma

Out here on the west coast there
are only two subjects: "Commun-
ism and Football" The first being
very deep subject and needing
lot of looking into, I decided to
leave that for further study and
concentrate on football. They tell
me half of the game is speaking
the language. So in my daily rou-
tine of baby tending I sweep ar
ound the right end" of the clothes
line. That line adds up to a 80
yard line" before the end of the
week. AS you mothers know how
the flags of union" have to be
unfurled each day. The line of
"scrimmage" begins at about 10
m, but a touchdown" is accom-
plished in few hours, and several
scores" are made during the day.
So goes baby care in football lingo.

After holiday feasts, the very
thought of food is usually too much
for the lady of the house-and the
rest of the family isn't too enthusi-
astic, either. But human beings
must eat and if you have holiday
guests you'll have to whip up some
thing pretty special, come what
may.
A friend of mine, who is proud OF
his culinary ability, swears by q
good French onion soup for supper
on New Years night. Basing his
reasoning on the fact that stew
ards on the Dig French line boats
always fed steaming onion soup to
seasick patients in the morning, he
figures that the outraged digestive
system Of the post-holiday diner
will be benefited by such strength
ening brew. And he must be right
for most Of his friends have adopted
the soup for a light dinner during
the partying season.
Here is his recipe-not difncult
but, oh, so good!
Allow one large, mild onion FOL
each person. Slice the onions and
fry them gently In q little butter
until Just . light gold color. (Thsy

Well, the fashion merry-go-round
didn't break down during ~ but 1t
certainly went round and round.
Being honest. we're darn glad the
year Of the new look" will soon be
q thing Of the past.
However radical the year ~ was
In the fashion realm 1t was the
year when the American woman
was given . release from approx
mately five years Of static style.
She emerged . ''lady Of fashion"
complete with r,stling petticoats,
taHeta and brocade dresses, full
longer skirts, extreme decolletages,
and really began to Ike her new
clothes and the dainty, lady-like
affect they had on her. For the
first time in . long time she began
to live up to them. One Of the
best solutions offered pertinent to
the fantastic" new styles was made
by Peggy Preston, another local
Fashion Editor. She solved the d.
lsnmA by saying the new long
skirts, canched-in waists, would
make American women 10 short
winded, 10 unable to get around
easily that they would all want to
retire to the fireside and thus would
create two jobs for every man"
Christian Dior made fashion his
tory newY with his swirling skirts,
daring necklines, and his rakish
e-swiped hat. His visit TO Amer
ica charmed the fashion world and
the press. Especially pleasing was
this great French designers open
praise Of American designers.
Great fashion inspiration came
from the great French tapestry ex.
hibition at the Metropolitan MI
scum Of Art in New York. It will
continue to inspire many spring and
summer collections Of 1913.

The other day I was talking to a
woman who has been In close con-
tact with the public over long
period of years. She surprised me
by telling me that on last New
Years eve she had asked q number
OF women what they were thinking
and feeling at the moment, and
that four out of five were afraid OF
something. One was afraid because
she felt she had aged greatly during
the past year, another was afraid
Of losing her husband, and still an
other of the economic situation. On
and on it went!
I had not thought of New Years
eve in these terms, which probably
proves how lucky I have been, and
how thoughtless. It has always
seemed to be time of gayety, when
there was a universal uplifting OF
the spirit in hope for the future
Old mistakes were forgotten, the
slate was wiped clean snd we some.

Post-Holiday Hint

them scorch.) Add can Of con-
somme and a can of water. II the
soup seems too weak, add bouillon
cube or a little meat extract. Let
the soup and onions simmer hap
PLY together for a while.
Now pour them into a casserole
or, better, into little individual cas-
seroles. Put slices of toasted French
bread on top Of the soup and cover
thickly with grated Parmesan
cheese. Set the casserole in the
oven and let cook about 80 minutes
until the cheese Is Drowned. BY this
time the soup has cooked down to
nice rich consistency and the
onions are Of q melting tenderness.
My friend has q pretty standard
supper menu when he serves this
onion soup. There's = dry red
wine, of course, and after the soup
comes refreshing green salad, In
which bitter chicory predominates.
The dressing is made with q good
deal of lemon and the salad Is most
effective in clearing away the rich
taste Of the soup and the onions,

Why Grow Old?

start. Yet there is wistfulness
and poignancy about New Years,
even I can understand how the very
hilarity of the night might high
light lost opportunities or lost love,
and could well recall happier days
In vivid but painful colors.
1 suppose the best thing we can
do with this special moment is to
drain of It's constructive qualities;
to think OF 1s4s as a new deal in
living: looking back at the past with
appreciation but looking forward to
the coming year with an adven-
turous spirit; forgetting the un-
happy and clinging to those values
which add richness to life. We are
now being treated to a new anS
completely unknown hunk Of exist
ence.
We can profit by our mistakes and
enjoy the welding of the old and
the new, the known and the un-
known. the richness we have expe-
rienced and the values toward which
we strive.

SAUCE.
DOG HINT.

From Mrs. F. M, Bethesda.)
When making Italian sauce for
spaghetti, make double or even
treble quantities. Put the excess
into mason jars, screw on tops, and
keep in refrigerator. It will keep
for 10 days or so, and Is better and
better each time it is heated up.
A hint about dogs. A tablespoon
full of olive or salad oil on your
dogs dinner each evening will i'm
prove his coat and prevent him
from getting the dry eczema that
many breeds are subject to, espe-
cially when hot, dry weather comes
again Also, do not bathe the
dog too frequently. My own wire
hair has not had bath In more
than two years, and yet he is per-
fectly clean and does not have a
doggy odor. He is rubbed dry with
clean, old bath towels kept in the
basement for his own use, whenever
he comes in from walk In the
rain or snow, and he is brushed reg
ularly, and from time to time =
few drops of pine oil are massaged
into his coat with the palm Of the
hand. This keep him a fragrant
puppy, but do not get this on his
face as the odor is too strong TOR
mis- sensitive nose.

Flower
Arrangement

The Art of Flower Arrangement"
by Tatsuo Ishimoto, published by
Crown Publishers, will delight the
heart of every flower lover. BY pro-
fession the author Is photographer
Of still life, born 80 years ago IN
Seattle, Wash. Before his four years
of wartime service as Signal Corps
photographer, Mr.. Ishimoto lived on
the bay side of San Francisco's Tele-
graph Hill. Outside his studio were
street vendors with flower carts full
Of gardenias, dat1odils and roses.
With 50 much material right on his
very doorstep 1t was only natural
Mr.. Ishimoto would take advantage
Of the situation and fill his studio
with the lovely flowers. Inevitable,
too, that he would begin to study
and photograph various flower ar
rangements. He says the place to
begin your serious study Of this ert
Is out of doors, notice the way plants
and flowers grow in a garden. how
nature makes her own arrange
ments. 1t isn't how many flowers
you have but what you do with them
that creates a stimulating flower
picture. A lowly way-side daisy can
enhance the beauty Of a room as
much as any aristocrat Of the Moral
family
In addition to the 78 different
flower arrangements illustrated.
there is advice on what flowers to
buy, how to make them last longer,
the possibilities Of unusual con-
tainers, and what colors and varie-
ties 60 well together. The best time
to gather flowers from your own gar
den, he says, Is early in the morning
before the sun Is high or after sun
down. Sunshine closes the pores Of
flowers, the pores should be open so
the stems can absorb water easily.
Any Of the arrangements pictured
In the book may be used with q
variety Of flowers; If you don't have
dahlias use marigolds or substitute
iris for gladioli. In fact. Mr.. Ishi-
moto constantly reminds you that
this is the freest, least restricted
art there Is. Don't worry about a
definite set Of rules, it Is self-expres-
sion that counts. Develop your own
Individual arrangements. Under
stand the principles Of good design,
use them most of the time but dis
regard them If they get In your way.
IT'S the harmony of the composition
that's important, not the theory be-
