design.
Maurice Rentner was a bit Of a
disappointment Mr.. Rentner, al
most capable designer, let us down
somewhat after last years collection,
which was trend-setting one. Don't
misunderstood. His spring collection
Is good, but not spectacular.
The first silhouette shown was
"the Currier & Ives" This is inter-
preted as a very brief jacket over q
dress or blouse. The shoulders of
his costumes curve gently and the
hemline, as In other collections,
seems frozen at 13 inches. The skirts
of his dresses are skillfully handled
and they are not just wide and long.
with little thought paid to proper
proportion. He uses pleating at the
tops Of some of his skirts to give
fullness, yet manages to retain a
slim waistline.
"Gramercy Park" was the theme
Of Mr.. Rentner's spring '48 showing.
Delicacy, grace and femininity held
sway in the days of "Gramercy
Park" during the 18th century.
Those were the days when women
We're womanly-and proud to be, at
that! So-Mr. Rentner informed
the press women, small waists, tiny
hats and just plain helplessness
characterized the women of the
day. Though times have certainly
changed, Mr.. Rentner feels that just
a hint of those bygone days is
necessity in this present day and
age. And his collection definitely
emphasizes ladylike design, deport-
ment and femininity.
His suits for spring have little
face-flattering collars and full skirts
that ripple nicely. The Little
Rebel" Is a suit that has a jacket
widening from the neckline with a
softly rounded back over a free
swinging skirt. Semiformal clothes
in his collection are titled tea time"
clothes. These are gracious outfits
and not the spangled variety of
cocktail outfits" I
And now from Gramercy Park we
are of to the mountains. Well, at
any rate its just to let you in on
what Tina Lesser is using for q
fashion inspiration. LII Abner, his
mountaineer pals, patchwork quilts,
and all have been source of ma
terial for Miss Lesser. Her collection
of sports clothes, play clothes and
lounge fashions have a hill-billy
tang. Sprigged patterns, gathered
berthas, tatting, braid, dust ruf1ies,
and patchwork quilt skirts of cotton
make up an entire group in her new
collection.
Her bathing suits are shirred one
piecers, often strapless, and very
vivid in color. incidentally, spring
this year will not be a dull, colorless
affair. Bright, vivid shades are the
forecast.

One uncooked pie shell, 8 egg yolks,

spoons vanilla, few grains salt.
Beat egg .yolks at high speed
about y minute. Add sugar and
beat y minute longer. Pour into

thoroughly before serving. Note:
Five whole eggs may be used in
place of the egg yolks. (Most
of the time I use this without a
pie shell, bake in deep casserole
set in hot water). Gold cake is
also a nice recipe to use in this way.

COFFEE MAKING.
From Mrs. M. M. Arlinoton. J

(From Mrs. M. M, Arlington.)
May I join your friendly, happy
family in the RICH by contributing
my first 2-cents worth about coffee
making? I never do any guesswork
about making coffee, for that is my
favorite beverage and I want it to
be good.
The first essential is good brand
of coffee. For the three coffee
drinkers in my family, I use five
coffee cups filled to the brim with
cold water and five heaping table,
spoonfuls of regular ground coffee
that gives me enough for reheat
for my lunch) and I use glass or
enamel coffee pot, NEVER an alumni
mum pot. Put it over the fire and
when it starts to percolate, time 1t
for to minutes Il use minutes);
when the time is UP, take it to the
sink and remove the percolator i'm
mediately, which prevents the caf-
feine-soaked dregs from dripping
back into the coffee, which causes
the bitterness. ..
There you have a pot of coffee
that the leftover can be reheated
and is almost as good as when
first made.
From Mrs. J. L. W., WdShington.)
To the lady having trouble with
coffee: I had the same trouble
until I grew desperate and decided
the coffee could not taste any worse
So I sprinkled a little salt in the
coffee grounds when I put it on to
cook. Let it perk slowly for about
10 or Is minutes. Then lift the lid
and pour Y cup cold water into
perking coffee and then turn off
gas. Would suggest you experiment
a. little on the amount of salt to use.
Your taste may differ from mine.
Good luck!

ELECTRIC BLANKET;

COOP. NURSERY SCHOOL?
From Mrs. A. B. J. c., Washington
To the lady requesting informa-
ton on electric blankets. I'll give
my experience for whatever it may
be worth. My husband and I sleep
on an unheated porch and prior to
the advent of the electric blanket
it took all our pioneer spirit to
muster up courage to make the
plunge through the frigid air into
those icy sheets! Now, We just turn
on the blanket an hour or two
before we're ready for bed, and
have full assurance that instead of
gritting our teenth and enduring
stoically, we can settle comfortably
into a warm snug bed. 1t has made
lot of difference in our sleeping
comfort, and in fact we both sleep
much more soundly and thoroughly
now. One thing we've found, maybe
it's just because of the cold
atmosphere of our sleeping quarters
sometimes it gets as low as 20
degrees during the night we have
to cover the electric blanket with
another blanket to "insulate" it or
hold in the heat, otherwise no
matter how high we turn it up, the
heat seems to be dissipated into the
air instead of concentrating on the
bed. ..-....

gested that the San Francisco con-
ference give special consideration
to the weekly wage.
The wage report suggested that
the conference, in considering the
practical application of equal pay
for equal work by women, might
give special attention TO improved
vocational training programs, en-
larged job opportunities, and re-
duction of special costs resulting
from the employment of women.
The report said real wages, which
rose in the United States and Can
ada during the war, dropped in
1916 and 1947 following the scrap
ping of price controls. On the 9th
er hand, real wages continued to
rise in Australia, the United King
dom and Argentina "where price
controls during the transition per-
iod were kept closer to their war
time strength and scope"
The ILO economists found sew
eral postwar factors favorable to
higher wages without price in
creases, and three sets of conditions
under which wage increases might
not be desirable.
The favorable factors include: re-
turn to industry of efficient young
labor from the armed forces; long
delayed replacement of industrial
equipment; introduction of war
time improved techniques; reduc-
tion of overtime and night work
costs; increased productivity re-
sulting from the peacetime short
err work week; lower freight rates
due to elimination of wartime
transportation and insurance risks
reduced corporation taxes in some
countries.
The three sets of adverse condi-
tions were listed as follows:
/. If the fiscal, monetary and
price policies required to offset the
Iinflationary or deflationary conse-
'quences of the wage increases could
not be undertaken, or would in
volv, ill effects that would more
than outweigh the benefits.
2. If the share of income going
into current savings and investment

Blocked Housing
Bill Drows BIusf
From Veterans

Washington, d. c. QLNS) =
Charging that the refusal of the
House Rules Committee to report
housing legislation was "con-
crete demonstration of the shame
full sell-out Of a few Republican
leaders to the infamous real estate
lobby" Chat Paterson, national
chairman of the American Veter-
ans Committee, predicted that the
men responsible would become the
"most hated men in public life"
"Veterans will never forget nor
forgive the Grass disregard of their
desperate housing plight by the
brazen crew of Martin Halleck-
Wolcott-and Allen" Paterson said.
"The Republican leaders have
chosen to reject the unanimous de-
mand of veterans and virtually
every public interest group in the
nation for adequate housing legis-
lation. They have needed instead
the wishes of the same real estate
lobby which President Truman has
termed subversive.
"The action of the House Repub-
lican leadership is all the more
shameful in the light of the broad
bipartisan support which the TEW
bill has received in four preview
votes, in the Joint Housing Com
mittee, in the Senate Banking
Committee, on the Senate floor, and
finally in the House Banking Com
mittee. The last hope of the real
estate lobby was the Martin-con-
trolled Rules Committee, since pas
sage of the bill as approved by the
Senate was confidently expected
once it reached the House floor.
The totalitarian dictatorial attitude
of the handful of willful men who
have arbitrarily blocked housing
legislation is a direct blow at every
democratic concept. The Republi-
can leadership cannot evade the re-
sponsibility Of one of the most
reprehensible sell-outs in Congress
sional history"
