Fashions :
Two color combinations and two
fabric alliances 'lend interest to many
new frocks both for casual daytime
and bright afternoon wear, Here's
one afternoon model, a youthful and
useful little dress of yellow and blacl:
checked taffeta and black crepe. The
taffeta is used for the bodice which
has a collar faced in black that falls
casually to the rather low placed one-
button closing. The bodice has a V-
shaped hip yoke and the black crepe
skirt falls gracefully from that point.

Hints
By MRS. MARY MORTON
Did you ever stop to think or
how nuich eye appeal has. to do
with our foods?
A bare-legged. youngster Wa6
reeling in a gorgeous brook trout
one day, as I sa,untered along the
bank of a stream in Maine.
"They can't resist this pretty
fly" he chuckled. "This makes six
beauties in less than an hour,"
Up the bank of the stream a
dozen honey bees 'were delving into
the depths of some sweet-scented,
colorful arbutus.
"They can't resist the beauty ot
it" I said to myself.
And humans cannot resist the
attractive salad or dessert. Add a
garnish to a plain dish of pudding
or custard and the value of that
dessert multiples instantaneously.
A little whipped cream in fancy
form; some sliced berries; a few
scattered nut meats; some jelly -
no matter how SimPle or how com-
plex the garnish, it turns a plain
dessert into a fancy one.
Sugarlesa days need not mean
"no desserts." I-Iere are a couple
of recipes for rennet-custards -
desserts that call for no sugar, no,
eggs, no baking or,no boiling. Make
these. add your favorite garnishes,
place the finished product before
your guests - and your dessert

THE MAJOR FRUIT IN MAY
'Hello Homemakers! Rhubarb will
Soon be plentiful in the market and
fortunately it is one food that has not
advanced in price, although its food
value is now unquestioned. Rhubarb
can be used for sauces, pies, hot pud-
dings and cold desserts. It will add
to our meals exactly the touch of
tartness that is needed to stimulate
-the Spring appetite. It's popular to
combine with your canned fruits to
economize in sugar and give variety,
too.
RECIPES
Rhubarb and Strawberry Sauce
Cook 1/2 lb, diced rhubarb with 14
cup boiling water in a double boiler or
on small electric element turned to
"Simmer". Add 14 cup sugar and 1
cup home canned strawberries (or 2
cups fresh strawberries when in sea-
son). Cook without stirring, about
10 mins. This makes a delicious
sauce for Ice Cream or leftover cake.
The Major's Pie
Pour boiling water over,2 cups diced
rhubarb. tet stand for 4 to 5 minutes;
'drain and mix with the following in-
gredients made into a paste: 2 beaten
egg 'yolks, 1 cup sugar, 1 tb. melted
butter, 2 tbs, flour and 3 tbs. cold
water. Line a deep pie plate -with
pastry and pour in; the mixture. Bake
in an electric oven at 425 degrees for
10 mins. and continue baking until
done, at 350 degrees. Make a merin-
gue of 1 egg white, 2 tbs. sugar and
.1/d, tsb. vanilla. Turn electric oven off
and bake until slightly browned,
Rhubarb Betty
Scald diced rhubarb with boiling
water. Arrange a layer of it in a
greased baking dish. Sprinkle with a
few 'chopped raisins, granulated sugar
and a teaspoonn grated lemon rind;
cover with fine crushed bread crumbs,
dotted with a little baking fat. Con-
tinue with fruit, sugar and crumbs un-
til filled, leaving enough crumbs for
topping. Bake with an oven meal for
25-30 mins. Serve with warm milk
which may be heated in electric oven
during last ten minutes .

TAKE A TIP
1. Avoid stirring air into foods while
cooking.
2. Foods should not be put through
a sieve while hot - especially foods
for babies and convalescents.
3. Frying destroys vitamins and en-
cases fat-so avoid frying whenever
possible.
4. Cook vegetables in small amount of
water and use whatever liquid is
left.

THE QUESTION BOX
Mrs. N. C. asks: "What is the rea-
son for coarse-textured muffins when
I use sour cream instead . of sweet
cream?"
Answer: If you use a tartrate bak-
ing powder with sour cream, add 3
tsps. of baking powder instead of 4
tsps. and you must stop stirring the
instant that, the dry ingregients are
just dampened.
If a calcium phosphate or S./VS.-
phosphate baking powder has been
used, stir until dry ingredients are
dampened and then 4 or 5 strokes
more,
Miss J., M. sugests: That if you
make up your sandwiches for your
lunchbox the night before, leave them
unwrapped in the crisping pan, of the
electric refrigerator over night. They
will taste quite fresh at noon.
An English visitor suggests: When
you empty a milk bottle, rinse out the
milk that remains with water and use
it for cooking, in gravy, or cream
sauce, or puddings, etc.

While all our menus are planned and
adapted to war time, they should be
colorful and appetizing. The really
good cook knows how to take simple,
inexpensive ingredients and make del-
icious dishes out of them. Once in
awhile, however, a wartime menu
should go gay with extra dishes, say,
on Sunday morning, or more especial-
ly when the soldier boy comes home
for a furlough, or you are entertaining
a soldier or , sailor on leave or a
stranger from a nearby early.

ping season, according to officials of
the Canadian National Express. The
season extends from late April until
early July, and, according to statistics
from the files of the Railway Express
Agency, who handle the busy-gather-
ers from the southern United States
to border points, the value of the bee-
importing business this' year promises
to exceed that of last season.
During the 1941 season, 2,594 crates
of bees passed through border points.
Each crate has three hives, sometimes,
called packages, each of which con-
tains two and one half pounds of bees,
With five thousand bees to the pound,
an estimated total of 97,275,000 bees
were imported through the Montreal
gateway. Qf this number, almost 90%
