Albert Bioman R. H. Thompson Mason Robinson Hello Homemakers! Mary is to be marriecil Many friends are entertain- ing for our popular bride-to-be 'and h each party is unique, To date, there been, a dessert feast, an indoor garden tea, and a nosegay buffet, Per- haps if we tell you a little about the preeentatione, it may be of help to plan a graduation affair, an anniver, aary, or .a. shower party. The menu for the dessert feast was pastel meringue shells filled with vanilla ice cream, a selection of ice cream toppings lined the table, lime coloured marshmallow, diced fruits, butterscotch sauce and strawberry jam. Tea and assorted cookies were served following dessert. The centre piece of spring flowers, flower candles floral serviettes and the sparkling crystal made the party a delightful, feminine occasion, The Indoor garden tea was equally effective, with blossoms in several vases placed throughout the living and dining rooms and the guests stood about with a cup of tea enjoy- ing fobd served from picture plates. These plates were trays on which the sandwiches were arranged like rows in a garden: Open face sandwiches, neatly decorated, rolled cress pieces, then cubed and plain sandwiches were placed in succession. The tiny cakes and tarts were grouped on silver entre dishes, partly filled with crumpled green cellophane which seemed to be a rock garden effect. For this party the hostess -eelected, yellow, green, pink and mauve tapers and used sil- ver candlesticks and tea service. An old-fashioned nosegay of roses was placed at one end of the table with bride and groom shaped candles in front of it. A large tray of glasses filled with a rhubarb cocktail was placed at the opposite end of the table to the flowers. The rest of the lunch- eon was arranged on platters and bowls surounding the plates, forks and serviettes, which were placed buf- fet style along the side of the table. They were decorated with attractive garnishes, such as potato flowers for ithe platter of cold turkey, heart shap- ed jelly molds decorated with cheese, and crisp salad greens topped with pepper rings. To complete this repast, a large chiffon cake dripping with whipped cream and topped with froz- en raspberries, was the dessert.

Tuesday, June 5th Wednes., June 6th I JiMITIOTO N.EEDLES TG BESCITE With raw wool selling at record- breaking prices, it is both patriotic and tbirfty to make our ""woollen" last as long as possible. Heavy socks can be refooted for an- other season's wear. Frequently that Part of the foet between the worn places of heel and toe is still strong enough to ravel and use again, though it is better to use new yarn for heel and toe. They wear much longer if heavy thread or fine string is knitted in with the yarn, If not too badly worn, a new heel may be all that is needed, Ravel the worn place back far enough to pick up stitches, then knit a new heel square and turn the heel just as in a new sock. Knit far enough to cover the worn section on bottom of foot, and sew it down one stitch at a time, without binding off—it's smoother, that way. Large holes in sweater elbows can be quickly and strongly mended by basting a piece of coarse net under the hole, and daening through the meshes with heavy yarn. Elbow patch- es, resembling leather, may be found on notion counters or in the cata- logues of mail order companies, and these add to the appearance and dur- ability of ,the garment. New cuffs add to the life of a sweater, too, and almost any knitter accumulates small remnants of yarn that can be used for this purpose. Either the K1, Fl, or the K2, P2 rib may be used, being very elastic. Hand-knitted sweaters with worn elbows may be repaired almost invis- ibly by removing the lower part of the sleeve (with the hole in it). Ravel past the ragged part, saving all the yarn possible, and reknit to the re- quired length, then join to lower part of sleeve by grafting, Mittens and gloves are also better mended with knitting needles instead of darning needles; the mended place is as elastic as the rest, and there- fore lasts longer as well as being less noticeable. Simply pick up the stitches at one edge of the hole, knit until patch is long enough, and sew it down, one stitch at a time, without binding off, Sew sides down neatly. PAN BROILING Pan broiling is best for thin cuts meat, but almost any meat that can oc broiled is good pan broiled. Even in the smallest kitchenette, you can broil chops and steaks. All that's needed is a top-of-the-Stoat burner and a heavy frying pan or griddle. Try pan broiling beef, lamb and ham slices, even if you have a broiler. Pan broiling is more econ- omical because it saves fuel, and con- venient because there's no broiler to clean. Put meat in heavy frying pan or on griddle. (Pan need not be preheat- ed.) Hold meat with tongs by fat part rather than lean part; this minimizes escape of juices. If meat is very lean, pan may he rubbed lightly with fat to keep meat from sticking. Pour off fat as it cooks out so meat will broil and not fry. Cook meat slowly; no need to brown it quickly. Turn the meat occasionally with tongs so it cooks evenly. (Tongs are useful for handling other hot foods too.) Do not add fat or water. Do not cover, Test for doneness of steaks and chops by cutting a small gash with a very sharp knife close to the bone. Test ground moat patties in the cen- ter. When inside of meat is the color you like it, season to taste with salt and pepper, serve at once, very hot. COMELY PEDESTRIAN CAUSES BIT OF EXCITEMENT MONDAY Housewives living in the vicinity of the public school---.like most house- wives—are not usually unduly excited at the sight of a lady pedestrian near their homes. On Monday, however, housewives in that section of the town were indeed excited at the sight of a lady pedes- trian who was obviously very much a stranger to the neighbourhood. She was seen wandering around the school grounds about 2.30 p.m. As she made her way west on William street, heads popped out of windows and doorways. She was beautiful---shapely and graceftd—and exquisitely dressed in becoming shades of brown and beige. A motorist, eyes popping, brought his car to a fell stop and stared as she turned from William Street north on Snyder avenue. As she was now out of sight, heads on William Street were one by one withdrawn. Dull routine replaced the brief flurry there, but tip in the Wartime Housing subdivision, few housewives catching their first glimpse of her, thrilled pleasantly as the full-grown doe ambled dOWn the hill to the creek and open country.—Elmira Signet, elm of sugar and lemon juice, Cools in the top of the double boiler until thick, Whip cream, Sweeten to taste, when cool cover the meringue with one layer of filling,. then a layer of raspberries, then a layer of whipped cream, Da the whipped cream with a few raspberries and sprinkle with cocoanut. Let stand in refrigerator until time to serve. LAMP-SHADE .1MITIMPIR/INO There are many times when .a lamp shade need not be 'entirely recovered to have the "`new Ruching comes by the yard hi some stores. It is usually rayon taffeta in choice of colors, with the two edges of the fabric '!fringed out or raw, Sometimes it is box-pleeted and some- times just gathered. This trimming can be used top and bottom of a shade or merely on one edge, An attractive effect is obtained also by using a wide ruching or frill of one color with a frill of a contrasting color and nar- rower width above it. These frilled edgings can be made at home. But another effective edging (all finished) is ribbon. For instance, a white shade may have an edging of white and persimmon-colored satin ribbon an inch and a half deep and box pleated, Ribbon for Trimming 'Velvet ribbon, a quarter-inch wide, may be used in two colors, going up and down the shade in a V pattern from bottom to top edge—like the cord lacings on the sides of a drum, Dark crimson velvet against white makes a dramatic contrast. Also this trim will conceal worn or spotted places on a rayon shade, Ball fringe is appropriate on infor- mal lamps with informal homespun- type shades, or those with glass stan- dards of the vanity style. This fringe can be bought in white and colors. It's an aid to making a small lamp look larger, A self-trim is effective too on some lamp shades. A large dressy shade may be achieved by covering the frame with rose grosgrain silk. For the lower border, use a width of mat- ching material crushed like a sash but caught every three inches in full clusters to suggest roses. This is a trim an amateur could make to reno- vate a shade. Parchment Yields, Too Parchment shades are not too easily freshened with sewed-on edgings. Yet there are ways. One is to choose pretty plastic shelf edging and glue it on. (Trim a wastebasket to match and you have a "set.") If it is desired to cover the shade more fully, or make it look smaller, set this trim up a little. To enlarge it, let the fringe fall below the edge of the shade. To recover a lamp shade completely seems a task. To achieve this "new look," an easier plan is to "slip-cover" the shade. Just rip off any trimmings and use the frame and old cover for a foundation. Even a decorated parchment shade can look delightfullly fresh with a loose frill of pinkish chiffon covering it completely, the edge elected. The material is simply tied on at the "neck" of the shade with a two-inch black velvet ribbon tied in a bow. When the lamp is lighted, any design on the parchment shade will shine through the chiffon in a decorative fashion, Gingham Attractive Checked gingham offers another idea. This can be drawn smoothly over a paper or parchment shade. It is especially attractive for the copper planter-style lamp. After first making a paper pattern or even one of cloth exactly to fit the shade, cut the gingham in flaring gores and sew on the sewing machine. The upper and lower edges should be turned under the top and bottom of the shade and glued in place. Cut a few notches to make it lap neatly under. Another way to trim these informal shade covers is with embroidery of peasant design that comes by the yard in one-inch widths. The gay col- ors may be used with gingham, linen, natural Shantung, or a plastic mater- ial. And don't overlook an eyelet edging for a slip cover for a dainty washable bedroom lamp shade, These white edgings come in deep widths as well as narrow ones. -WEIMNIMV.
