spring were clothes Tor young career
girls that can do double-duty. One
shining example is the suit-dress.
1t looks like a costume ensemble,
yet possesses the right to be recog-
nized, also, as q dress. One such
outfit belongs in every career girls
wardrobe. Some Of these ensembles
are three-piecers, combining a short
coat with q blouse and shirt. The
great majority of the ensembles for
spring, whether in the high, low or
in-between price brackets, are mostly
two-piece affairs.
Bridal fashions, as prophesied
around the time of Princess Eliza
beth's marriage to the Duke Of Edin-
boro, are greatly Influenced as to
styling by her crystal and pearl en-
broidered wedding dress. The idea
Of both bride and bridesmaids wear
ing the same model dress also may
be traced to Elizabeth's wedding
procession. Another trend shown to
the visiting editors Is the bridal
gown of pastel cotton for summer
A newcomer to the ranks Of bridal
fashions Is q dress destined to be
chosen by many young brides for
garden weddings. This is ballerina-
length, done mostly In marquisette.
Maternity clothes for spring bear
a great similarity to the other clothes
making up the picture for spring.
Cummerbunds which have taken the
dress designers by storm are evil
dent in maternity styles, and fea-
ture adjustable attachments. Other
maternity fashions feature draw
string fullness ut the back, and snap
adjustments at the waist. One most
attractive maternity suit will be the
black bengaline suit with the box
jacket. "A spring-into-summer suit
bound to find favor with those in
anticipating.
Whether the street in your town
is called Petticoat lane, Peachtree
street, Royal street, Telegraph hill
or Connecticut avenue-you women
who buy the bulk of the dresses sold
here in America will be as stylish as
Miss Swank of Fifth avenue who
parades on Easter Sunday in her
ultra chic and expensive finery. The
clothes we have previewed for you
testify to this.

REMODEL HOUSE.

From Mrs. H. X. M, Alexandria,
In response to Mrs. S. S., Alexan-
dria. If the lady who wants to
remodel her Alexandria house will
drive around Alexandria she will see
houses that are being done" The
owners of these houses love to dis
cuss their problems and ideas with
interested persons. The lady who
has an antique shop on Cameron
street could help her. The Alexan-
dria Library has splendid books for
doing over old houses. I will be
glad to do what I can-we are re-
modelling our house now. My hus-
band and I have done good deal
of the work. She can call me at

SMOOTH WHITE SAUCE

from Mrs. w. B. S., Washington. J
In answer to the letter on how to
make a smooth white sauce. First
these are the proportions for the
three kinds of white sauce.
Thin: / tablespoon fat, table
spoon -four, cup milk.
Medium: tablespoons fat, Z
tablespoons -four, / cup water.
Thick: 3 tablespoons fat, > table
spoons flour, / cup milk.
Regardless of the type you are
making, follow these directions
Melt fat over a low flame, add fioul
and stir, cook very slightly, then
pour in all of the milk at one time
right out of the refrigerator. Stii
constantly, until thick, and season
to taste.
The important part is to have
your milk cold, as you know wher
you make a -four paste, you use no
or warm water. Flour will combine
with cold water or milk without
forming Jumps, then by the time the
milk has warmed enough to thicker
the sauce, it will have cooked slow
ly and long enough to eliminate the
raw" taste in the -four. I'm sure
you'll find this method fool-proof
simple, and will you a product OF
good flavor.
Another trick in the preparation
is to measure your -four first, place
in one side of the saucepan you are
to make the white sauce in, then
using the same spoon, measure the
fat, and place on the other side OF
the pan. Now tilt the pan to melt
the fat, a matter of a few seconds,
then level the pan to mix the melted
shortening and the flour.

to look up q poem. only have
three preschool age children all

At the end Of busy day 1T gives

When all is said and done, the

TURKEY COOKING.

From Mrs. A. d. w., ArltngtonJ

other without, and the covered bird
was far superior in flavor. tender
