Hello Homemakers! Mary is to be

ing for our popular bride-to-be 'and
h

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.

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,

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.
