Feminine Look Combined With
Slim Lines Lead lin Spring Styles

The soft feminine look is right
this spring season for afternoon
dresses. 1t is achieved with mar
row, sleek lines, nipped-in waists,
and sleeves that are either nom
existent or flouneed in graceful
folds, according to the latest ia
shion news in McCall's for March.
Featured also in this issue are a
complete four-piece wardrobe for
a happy weekend, and dramatic
dresses for dining and dancing:
"Roll the shawl-collared deep v
neckline of one charming after

wish. The midriff detail, with snug
corselet lines, would minimize any
waist. Wing revers of the collar
of one printed dress spread out
on the chest. Sleeves are almost
nonexistent, being merely extern
sions of the shoulder line.
Viewed directly from the front,
another spring model looks mar
row and sleek. When you get to
the back, however, you'll find
three soft plcats gracefully easing
its silhouette. Materials to watch
for are lightweight fables and
smooth crepes. One new dress in
printed rayon surah has a new
look sleeve, the first Of many
flounced sleeves to come. Paris
thought up this one for the CON-
ing season.
"A magic, slenderizing effect is
produced by a side drape on still

most any occasion. Another has
that indefinable something known
as style. Look for it in these de-
tails: notched neckline, wide skirt

To Clean and Cook Asparagus

Learn how to buy asparagus at
it's best. The tips should be close,
tight and firm - not spreading
and seedy looking. The stalks
should be. straight, quite brittle
and should have no more than 2
inches of white. The white should
be really white and then green,
green. Wash and cook your as
psragus as directed below and en-
joy the feast of the season.
Clean asparagus t horoug h y.
Hold spears under strong steam
of water to wash away every trace
of sand, scrub with q vegetable
brush if spears seem especially
gritty.
Break off tough ends Hold stalk
near bottom with both hands, then
bend gently until stalk snaps at
the naturally tender point. Use
ends in stock pot or cream soup.
Tie in little bundles. Take or
6 spears and tie them together
loosely with cord. This method
makes asparagus easier to handle
going in, coming out and serving.
Use skillet for easier cooking.
Fill with boiling water, add as
paragus and a good dash Of salt.
Cook about 10 minutes or until
thick end is tender when pierced
with a fork.

The Christian converts of North
ern Europe found it hard to give up
their belief in Eostra, pagan god
dess of Spring. Her name survives
in our word Easter. The Druids
in England worshipped the egg as
a symbol of the witch-goddess
Llywy, who is still remembered in
children's legend as Mother Goose
with her golden egg. The Polish
children for centuries continued to
throw painted eggshells into
streams to carry Easter greetings
to gnome men living underground.
The early Christians painted eggs
staining them red to symbolize
Christ's sacred blood - and ad-
orned them with crosses and flow

Another. lamentable fact is that
Easter, along with Christmastine,
has become commercialized. The

We DoH Our Hats!

Our hats off to the members of The league of
Women Voters for the good partisan job they did
on their Voters Guide which most of the county
newspapers last week carried insert The Sentinel
has received many favorable comments on the Guide
which contained biographical data about the candidates
as well as their answers to questions dealing with this
years important issues.
statement, issued by Mrs. James " Bennett
president of the League of Women Voters of Mont
gomery County points out that There are important
contests within each party primary this year that make
imperative for voters to get to the polls Then there
can be no for voter to feel that his partys
nominee is not representative As the League has stated
IN one of its publications, democracy in which many
do not vote-many vote without wsdom-many criticize
but few Thinks DANGEROUS to its people,"
To this the Sentinel can only add: Read your
Voters Guide-Select the candidate you think will do
the most for your county and State-Go to the polls
and vote on Monday.

A "WhOdunnit?"

Was it an accident? Was it
Intentional? Had not Bill Bur-
rows, Rockville barber, dis
played in his shop window a
large poster of Gov. Lane, who
IS seeking reelection, he would
not be so non-plussed at the
turn of events. The window
was shattered Immediately fol-
lowing erection of said picture,
and it seems almost pointed,
rather than coincidental, that it
should have happened thus.
With no clues as TO the why's
and wherefores in the case, Mr..
Burrows is very DESTROYS of in
formation on the subject. In
fact, he offers a $50 reward for
tips which may lead to solution
of the incident.
