Hints On
Fashions
The One-piece .dress likes to look
like a two-piecer and arrives at that
style by going in for two tones or,two
fabrics or by giving the design a skirt
and blouse detail. This neat little
winter frock is of wool jersey and wool
crepe with a skirt-and-blouse look.
The top is of pink wool jersey and has
a' novelty flat collar and concealed
front fastening. The skirt, which is
of navy blue wool crepe, has a set-in
waistband terminating in a front
placket. The slit pockets are smartly
arrow-edged,
White and off-white shades, espe-
cially those shades that veer towards
a deep 'cream or creamy coffee shade,
are cited for both town and resort
wear. Rayon jersey in a delicate,
creamy coffee shade is used for this
charming frock that would be so nice
under a brown coat. • The bodice is
utterly simple with cap sleeves and a
surplice closing. The skirt is gored
in back and flared in front, The
draped front leaves the hips flat and
hides the pockets, A sot hi belt ties
hi a bow in front.

are thirty-three ways to save
one ton in five according to our in-
formants. We think you should be in
on all of them, Here are three for
a start,
Don't let taps leak. Keep a supply
of washers on hand and replace when
the tap protests noisily that all is not
well with its gizzahl. Remember that
there's a difference between hot and
cold type washers and that you'll need
to replace the hot water washer most
often, Learn to do it yourself. You
won't always have to.
Release., ,air from radiators. They
need to be burped like a baby only
not so often . .", just about once a
vek.
Keep bedroom doors closed at night,
No need of chilling all the rooms in
the house just because you like fresh
air.
A basket full of holes in the heels?
If the socks are dark in colour and
your temper and eyesight not improv-
ed by trying to see whether the next
stitch is over or'under try using a
flashlight as a darning egg. With the
switch on, of course, to banish the
stygian gloom.
Left-Over Logic
Left-overs don't improve with age
so remember the refrigerator check-up
When you're planning the day's menus.
Many a cook's success has been due
to the imaginative way the 'something'
over' was dressed up for the second
showing. White sauce, eggs, cheese,
tomatoes are each godd additions to
the sleight of hand. You're on your
own from here . . . but don't forget
herbs,, curry, and their partners in the
flavour business.

TAKE A TIP
Sandwiches for "lynchers" should
not be monotonous. For the small
"lunches", tuck in a surprise—sensible
or funny—every day or so. Here are
a few:
1, A cookie man, a tiny popcorn
ball, strips of candied orange peel, a
coloured, hard-cooked, pullet's egg.
2. A weiner made into a houseplant
with a few branches 'bf carrot slivers
and parsley stuck in.
3. Write-a riddle in a note, but give
no answer till the "luneher" gets home.
4, Cut an unpeeled orange length-
wise into quarters.

THE QUESTION BOX
Mrs. B. A. suggests: Parsley Cole-
slaw.
1 cup vinegar, 2 tbsp. granu-
lated sugar, 2 tsp. salt, speck
pepper, % cup salad oil, 1 medi-
um' 'onion, sliced, 6 cups finely
shredded cabbage, 1 tsp. celery

Simmer together the vinegar and
sugar, uncovered, 5 min. Add 1 tsp.
salt and the pepper. Remove from
heat and cool. Add salad oil and

ator at least 4 hrs.; then strain. In ,a
salad bowl combine with this dressing
the cabbage, remaining 1 tsp. salt, cel-
ery seed and parsley. Toss well, and
serve, Serves 4.
Mrs. J. C. asks: How may we pre-
vent sweet potatoes from turning
dark?
Answer: Put into salted water as
each potatoe is peeled. Cook in en-
amel or flameware saucepan until
tender. Overceeking tends to discolor
foods, too,

Hello, Homemakers! The chill
winds of winter inspire a revival of
the heart-warming concoctions we call
soup, Especially welcome are those
varieties nourishing enough to raise
the standard of our daily food neces-
sities which keep us fit—meat, 'vege-
tables and milk.
Hearty soups include chowders,
cream soups and thick vegetable soups,
Some' of these soups, especially chow-
ders, are meals in themselves, with
only a light entree or salad and a
dessert needed for balance.
The art of soup-making as portrayed
in the old cook books takes time, many
ingredients and much patience. But
in these days when minutes are preci-
ous, short-cuts are allowed. For ex-
•ample, canned consomme or beef ex-
tracts may dotible for homemade
stock, But when you buy a boned
roast be sure to ask for the bones, To
the bones, add some chopped onions, a
few celery, lea,yes and a sliced carrot.
Cover these ingredients with plenty of
water, then bring to a boil and simmer
for two hours, Add salt, pepper and
some herbs. .Strain this broth and use
it as a basis for special soups.
FOUNDATION FOR CREAM
SOUPS
1 quart milk, 1 tbsp, butter, 1
tsp. chopped onion, 1 tbsp. flour,
1 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. white pepper,
1 speck of cayenne.
Scold milk with the onion, Melt
butter, add flour and cook until frothy,
but be careful not to let the butter
—brown; add 1 cup of hot milk slowly
and cook together until thickened.
Return to the double boiler.. Add
seasonings. It is now ready to finish
in any way.
ONION SOUP
Cook six peeled medium-sized on-
ions, sliced, in 3 tablespoons butter, or
fat, over low heat about 10 minutes
until very lightly browned. Then add
2 cans consomme and 2 cans water.
Bring to a boil then allow to simmer
for 20 minutes. Season with salt,
pepper and Worcestershire sauce.
Pour into bowls, and on top of each
put a slice of sauteed rye bread and
sprinkle with grated, nippy cheese.
Serve very hot.

I had a government man in here the
other day. .He was looking for a man to
work for hint at fairly-.good pay with
a pension and the chance to do a fair
'amount of travelling. He had the idea
somehow or other that I might be a
good bet for this position. He spent
about three hours persuading me and
.I must say he was quite a talker, ,Mrs.
Phil didn't say very much while he
was liere; After he left she just said,
"Make up your own mind, Phil."
My mind was. full of the ideas lie
felt with me and after dinner I strolled
outside to finish up some chores in
the stable. Standing on the back
stoop the first thing that attracted my
attention was the row of evergreens
planted down along the fence as a
windbreak. They've been in for three
years now and seem to be coming
along very well. Of course if I sold
out, I'd kind of miss seeing them come
along, That's whOt was running
through my mind and besides that I
was figuring on keeping them trimmed
tip like the hedge around the banker's
lawn itiatown,
The two chestnut trees on the front
lawn have come along pretty well in
the past eight years. `, They give a
comfortable shade, It's funny but on
a hot Sunday 'afternoon Mrs, Phil and
I both go out there with our rocking
chairs. The shade and comfort under
those trees seem to be to much better
than under the others, The reason for
it is of course because we planted them
ourselves,
Even the gate on the barnyard had
a particular attraction. It was my first
attempt at putting 'bolts and boards
and scantlings together into the form
of a gate, It didn't hang so well at
the start 'but gradually by adding a f ,,, 1
