when they arrive in Washington.
News from New York has it that
the Duchess of Windsor has taken
to wearing beauty patches. The
Duchess saw friend wearing them
and promptly wrote Clarence
Barnes, their creator, to please
make her up a box. She enclosed
tiny black dot in the size she
wanted. So, Mr.. Barnes sent her
a goodly supply, to add to that
charm Of which the Duchess al
ready possesses such a goodly share.
The recent to-do concerning the
so-called "provincialism" of the
dress of women in Washington has
had added to it the recent state
ment by Lilly Dache that IF any
woman in the world today has the
traditional right to be best dressed.
it's the woman of the South" We,
in Washington, are south Of the
Mason-Dixon line. So for the time
being at least we'll fall Into that
category. Dynamic Madame Dache
recently returned to New York from
several weeks rest in Florida and
Virginia. She thinks that South
ern women have more than their
share of femininity. She feels that
due to their having placed so much
emphasis on femininity for so many
generations, they are able to wear

ironing which does not respond well
to steam ironing, or which can be
done easier and faster with a dry
iron. This company has recently de-
veloped an attachment that makes
possible the steam ironing of many
fabrics without previous dampening.
The attachment can be slipped on
a cold or hot iron. Cold or hot
water is poured into the tank while
the steam control knob is on OF
position. When the fabric selector
is turned to HI, heat from the iron
Is transferred by contact to the
aluminium soleplate of the attach
ment. After two to four minutes
heating time, the steam control
knob Is turned on, water flows by
gravity drop at a time to the
steam chamber and is instantly con-
verted to steam, which is emitted
through the outlets at the toe
Of the soleplate. 1t is said a
tankful of water will last from
30 to As minutes, It can be easily
refilled and easily cleaned because

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Loyman


Many women who gained weight
during the past year. but who felt
fairly slim in their winter clothing,
received . shock when they tried on
summer dresses. There is no doubt
about 1t, pastels and whites and
coatless dresses make us look
heavier! These simply cry for a slim
silhouette. I haven't even men
toned play clothes and swim suits i!
Many . woman will sit by the
stream or the sea or the lake or the
pool this summer because she feels
that she will not look we'll in a
bathing suit and is too vain to wear
one when she doesn't. This Is a
great loss in fun and health and
companionship!
Those figure faults can be changed
with exercise and diet when needed.
The type Of suit you buy also makes
difference. If you have fat about
the waist, in fact, unless you are
very slim through the torso, buy a
one-piece suit. The two-piece mid
riff type will not look we'll on you.
If you do have slim middle you
can wear them well and your figure
is apt TO look even prettier in this
style because the one-piece suit has
tendency to flatten the bustline.
This is especially true OF the woman
who is long wasted. She must
watch this when she buys her swim
suit.
Only those who are quite sleek
will look attractive in very short.
closely nodded trunks. If you are a
little full over the hipline or the
abdomen the skirt type will look
best. This does not have to be a
! full style, but a one-piece suit with
trunks underneath the closely fitting,
overlapping material Of the skirt.
Some materials used in bathing suits
actually mold the figure slightly and
hold the bulges in. little. Give
thought to the material in your suit.
The incest answer to your figure
problems during swimming season
is to correct them. If you want to
look your best in your two-piece
bathing suit, send a stamped, self
addressed envelope with your re-
quest for my leaffet No. 6, Don't
Go To Waist" Address Josephine

Did you know that there are sew
eral kinds Of chicken fricassee?
There's yellow one, brown one
and a white one. Like the contro-
versies about chowders and the color
Of egg shells, the fricassee prefer
ence varies according to the section
Of the country. Virginians hold out
for the yellow one, and here's how
you do it.
Cut up a chicken In serving pieces
and brown them in butter. Then add
a slice Of lean bacon, pepper, salt
and nutmeg to taste. Grandma al
ways tucked in a few cloves, too,
plus l minced onion. Add enough hot
water to cover the chicken and stew
slowly for about an hour and a half.
Put the chicken on serving platter
and keep it hot.
Beat egg yolks until light. Sea-
son them with salt and pepper, a
teaspoon OF lemon juice, teaspoon
of vinegar and u cup of cream. Add
these last three a very little at a
time, stirring constantly to get them
smooth and prevent curdling. Pour
the mixture into the pan in which
the chicken was cooked.
Stir until thickened, over q low
flame, and when it is of custard-
like consistency, pour over the
chicken. Serve the chicken with
buttered noodles or rice.
For the brown fricassee, melt 2
tablespoons of butter or margarine
in a skillet. Add 6 small chopped
onions and about 2 tablespoons OF
hot water. Sprinkle in little
chopped parsley. When this boils,
add a broiler that has been cut up
and fried brown In hot lard. Let the
sauce cook down around it and serve.
The secret of this is to get the orig
inal butter or margarine very brown
before adding the onions and hot
water.
The white fricassee Is more elab-
crate, as it calls for stufi1ng the
chickens. Have two small chickens
cleaned and drawn. Stuff them
with a mixture Of cup bread
crumbs. tablespoon chopped dried
beef, u onion, a little thyme and
marjoram and just enough water
to bind the mixture loosely together.
Put the stuffed birds In . sauce
pan or kettle with a piece Of salt
pork. Add 2 cups hot water. put .

lid on the kettle and let 'er stew
Add more water If you need it.
When the chickens are nearly
tender, thicken with tablespoon
butter rubbed with u tablespoon
flour, seasoned with salt and pepper.
Continue cooking until birds are
ready to serve. Then put them on
a dish and keep them hot.
Remove the salt pork from the
gravy, stir q beaten egg yolk into
the pan and add tablespoon Of
cream. When thickened, pour over
chickens. This is especially good
with pancakes on the side.

full growers Of African violets, ask
ing for advice as to my plants
which seem to be in rather rapid
decline. They were four plants in
one flower pot, all started from one.
Having been told that they must
be in separate pots and rather
small ones to cause them to be
more or less root-bound and so to
encourage blooming, I put them in
smaller containers. I used a COM
bination Of good garden soil, leaf
mold and a little sheep manure.
They have lost their fresh. vigorous
looking green and instead have a
rather pale look and the leaves one
at a time become timber and decay
