Cold soups are the most refresh

dinner on hot day. And, actually,
very little experimenting has been
done to assure variations on the
theme, which is pity, for by using

derful repertoire of iced soups can be
developed.
Here are a couple that are de-
lightful on hot days. They are light
and spicy, but they must be served
absolutely cold for the best effect

First, an iced cucumber soup. Peel

-four and add another 2 cups OF

The advantages of having large
rug on your college room floor are
many. 1t is much easier to clean
a large room-size rug; one good
weekly cleaning with a vacuum and
a daily going over with an efficient
carpet sweeper will do the trick.
1.-the young college girls and boys
do not mind sitting on the floor and
a carpeted floor with pillow or two
for comfort can make group gather
ings a plus pleasure. Another point
to consider is the greater number
of variations that may be had in
arranging furniture on a room size
rug rather than fitting it around
several small ones.
OF course, wool pile rug will give
the best service, but it also will be
more expensive. 1t gives added
service because wool soils less quick
ly than cotton or linen. do know,
however, that cotton and linen can
be treated and woven to wear more
than ever now.
Among the less expensive rugs Is
a hair-filled carpet known as Broad
felt. The only drawback to this type
of rug is that it should be cemented
to the floor and most colleges will
not permit this to be done. 1t comes
in attractive colors and wears unbe-
lievably we'll. Cotton shay rugs are
also practical. There's one variety
that stays clean extraordinarily long.
Clever decorators discovered these
during the war, sewed or tipped
them together to make one large
rug and took them apart again for
sectional laundering when neces-

Mothers Organize

children, are saved the anxiety they
might feel In adjusting themselves
to strangers. They, knowing that
they are known, are not so likely
to try out their little schemes for
self-advancemsnt on the sitter"
as they so often do on the stranger.
The best part Of it, to me, Is the
assurance of the responsibility and
the keen interest of the mother In
attendance. She will be likely to
do with these children what she
would want the other mothers to
do with hers in the same situation.
Trained nurses are fine but they are
likely to be more trained" than
friendly, and the child left without
his mother needs both skill and
motherly supervision. He needs to
feel the warmth of motherly care.
the emotional outflow toward him
that the mothers are likely to sur
round him with.
When the mothers themselves
organize the group Of baby tenders,
the usual difficulties in the situa-
ton are resolved at once. The
mothers are known to each other
and to the children. and are re-
sponsible and solicitous concerning
their duties. 1t is the best possible
solution of the mothers DAY off,"

Each year in August I publish a
few marathon results. My eight
weeks self-improvement marathon
runs every January. At that time
tens of thousands of women write
in for information about how to
correct their figure faults. They are
sent the directions they need and
then starts the scramble to see who
can make the most improvement in
eight weeks time.
I have found that it acts as an
inspiration to my readers who are
overweight or out of proportion to
know what others have already &C
complished. I am printing today's
letter because it reflects inspiring
determination and brings up one or
two questions which will be inter-
esting to those with similar weight
problems.
This reader says, II want to thank
you for the weight you have taken
off my BODY and my MIND" Il
could write a column about this
sentence alone because correct
weight does make your mind. as
well as your body, lovelier. healthier

Summer rugs are also practical
for college rooms. These are the
fiber and wool combinations. Their
better styling provides possibilities
of building an attractive, decorative
scheme around the plain solid col
ors and the plaids. But don't let
them get too soiled, as outside grit
cuts the fibers.
Rugs made from rush squares and
Chinese mating also are excellent
in rooms with a modern spirit. The
texture is a natural background for
light woods and overscaled prints.
If the furniture in your room is
Early American maple, large oval
braided rug that covers the study
section and comes under the front
two legs of your bed will give the
room a sense of unity, despite the
lack of room -Size rug.
College rooms aren't large, so don't
select too light or too dark rug
If there is any doubt, take the
lighter rather than the darker color
or the cool rather than the warm
color, unless you want to be ORA
matte. Use the warm colors in your
bedspreads, draperies or your wall
decorations and small accessories.
When a particularly slim pocket
book is the rule, the ready-made
ruffled curtain wins in walk. But
this year the crisp rufled white or
colored organdy curtain will be on
the gold standard. Ruffies will be
edged in gold rickrack braid. The
idea is a direct steal from the beau
tiful linen summer dresses this sea-
son. Use the rickrack to trim your
linen lamp shades, too.

College Rooms Should Be Practical

If more tailored room is desired,
draperies may match the woven bed
spreads which launder so beauti-
fully. Be sure to buy two spreads
so that your bed is always in good
condition if your laundry is late.
A new bedspread for college rooms
is corduroy. 1t looks so beautifully
luxurious and is so practical. 1t
only reacts badly to nail polish and
remover. With corduroy, you may
use felt for window draperies and
the covering of your easy chairs
and pads for your desk chair. The
felt may be edged with the corduroy.
Printed chintzes and cretonnes in
solids, plaids or stripes, imagina-
lively used on bed, chairs and WIN
dows will give your room charm.
Couple this charm with an orderli-
ness to make your college living both
friendly and efficient and you'll
have the dignity of well-planned
home.
Here are a few simple tricks to
unity or emphasize the colors you've
chosen to live with. If your window
is large, hang it with slotted blinds,
each blind painted a major color of
the room on one and backed in one
solid color for more somber mood.
For additional closet space, utilize
a corner of the room and put a
three-panel screen around it. Cover
the screen with monks cloth and
use it as bulletin board, too. Or
follow through here with the felt,
chintz, or wallpaper used in other
parts of the room.
Whatever your choice, remain con-
sistent so that these smart details
will weave ribbon of personality
throughout your room.

Because I am deeply concerned
about the baby-sitting problem, the
method a group of mothers in
Brooklyn have practiced interests
me greatly.
Mothers must have some free
time during the week if they are
to preserve their mental and ply
steal well being. But there IS no
day of" for them unless they pro-
vide it themselves, and that is not
always easy. There are people who
have no beloved aunts and grannies
to take over for them. nor the
money to pay trained nurses for
their children.
To overcome this difficulty, this
group Of mothers have banded to-
gether to help each other. BY TAX
ing turns at supervising the chill
dren, they make it possible for the
members of the group to enjoy
bit of free time. The give and take
of such a group, the personal
knowledge of each members ability
character, ETC., allow these mothers
to go their way in perfect assurance
that all will be well with theii
children.

mothers. knowing all the Other

Then, there's a soup made OF

when iced. Soak p pound OF green
split peas in water until softened.
Strain them and put them in a pan
with sliced onion, sliced carrot, a
sliced Glove of garlic and stalk OF
celery, also sliced. Just cover with
water in which / bouillon cube has
been dissolved. Then season with
salt, pepper and paprika.
Simmer until the peas are soft,
adding water if needed. Rub through

2 tablespoons Of curry powder, re-

10 minutes. Get ice cold over ice as
mentioned in the first recipe. Add

and garnish with finely chopped
chives or minced green pepper.

butter, goes nicely with both OF
these soups, but if you prefer a hot
accompaniment, heated triscuits are
especially accountable

TheChef
Says

Meat prices being what they are,
more and more of us have come to
rely on the old hot dog or some
other form of sausage for a main
course couple of times a week.
I've been doing some experimenting
with 1.-THE pups" in an effort to
make them bit more glamorous
and lift them out of the monotony
class. Here are some tries that
have proved really noteworthy:
Pan broil sausages over a low
flame, turning often to brown them
evenly. Then wrap them in biscuit
dough and bake them in the oven
until crisp and golden brown.
Put pork sausages in shallow
pan and add boiling water barely to
cover. Put in fairly hot oven and
cook for 30 minutes, turning several
times. Drain off the water and
heat sausages through on top of
stove with plenty of good, we'll
seasoned barbecue sauce.
Remove frankfurters from the
castings and use the meat to stuff
cored apples. Bake. This is much
less greasy than the usual pork
sausage meat employed in this
manner.
Prick link sausages with a fork
and put them on the broiler rack,
about inches below heating unit,
with some canned, drained peach
halves, cavity side up. Put a bit of
butter, some lemon juice and
powdered ginger in each cavity,
Broil about 10 minutes, turning the
sausages at least once. Serve with
shoestring potatoes, watereress and,
of course, the broiled peach halves.
Put a couple of broiled frank
furters into potatoes on the half
shell"-that is, baked potatoes from
which you have removed the CEN
ter, whipped it with butter and
cream and replaced it in the shell
to reheat. Sprinkle grated cheese
on top and brown quickly in the
oven.
Parboil some link sausages, drain,
roll in -four seasoned with a little
saffron and saute gently to brown
all over. In another pan cook a
large onion, chopped in 3 table
spoons Of olive oil, with a mashed
Glove of garlic. When yellow. add
the sausages and anchovy fnets,
