No longer can women ask, "JFhich Is better, to be dressed becomingly, be-comingly, or to be dressed In the height of fashion?" There may once hive been a reason for this sad plea but now we have so many edi tions of each trend that if you try, jou can find one which will be Sattering especially for you. And don't shy away from adding a few luaginative touches which will enhance en-hance the style for you. i Hoods Are Pretty as fell as Practical For Instance, take the hood. According Ac-cording to Chicago Fashion Industries, In-dustries, it Is extremely popular, Hpecially with the young crowd, ft makes a lot of sense to wear it cold days, and chances are you've been tempted to have one. $ your features are tiny and you save a good profile, or if you have I long, lean face with high cheekbones, cheek-bones, the tailored version of the kood will do the most for you. -; But don't discard the hood idea I you don't fit in the above cate-fory. cate-fory. Let's say that your features aren't quite as perfect as you've wished. You're the kind who likes to wear soft hats with perhaps a tuft of hair to break the severity t the hat. In its usual form the hood is not br you, but suppose you try a bitted, loose snood that gives you fee covered-up look and provides the necessary softness. You might even try bangs or a soft fluff of turls to decorate the forehead. Or, If you don't wear bangs, you night arrange a wave or push down the pompadour for. a similar look. follow the Fashions, Find Own Version A good way to illustrate this is to watch women who are buying their clothes. I've seen many a tall, bony-chested woman turn down s "V" necked dress which was otherwise oth-erwise perfect for her. Had she spent a little time thinking about it, she could have used a froth of attractive ruffles at the neck, or even a clever dickey effect which could have done a neat Job of concealing, con-cealing, and made a lovely garment gar-ment for her. Very often yea haven't the time to change your make-op. But you east refresh your skin and ret a fresh (low I Wrap ice cube to a kit of damp cotton. Sprinkle this With skin freshener er toilet water.

A Jittle Accent with your lipstick and there 7a are! Fashion The front button, princess style variation is still nice fashion tor the dressy coat You can be clever with accessories with this basic coat Trimming takes a back seat on evening clothes. They're glamorous, perhaps even more so than before, but the interest is in material and lines rather than "things added" to the costume. Princess Fashion f ; The princess silhouette aa Trigere Introduces it in sheer black woolen has a flanged Beaming for skirt and neckline. Tiny gold buttons, the signature sig-nature of the designer, are linked. If you tend to run large in the hips, don't consistently avoid dresses which have some hip Interest Inter-est Look for dresses with a side draping or other such interest that breaks the hip line and actually gives you a nicer look than the absolutely straight skirt. Don't ever discard or, for that matter, buy a dress without investigating inves-tigating the hemline and what it does, or can do for you. Letting the hem down, or perhaps lifting it as little as a half an inch, can improve your appearance a hundred per cent. It all depends upon your height and the size of your legs. What about sleeves? Well, here you have all kinds to choose from. For thin or heavy arms, you'd do best to avoid extremes. Follow natural na-tural lines and skip the too-full types or the bare arm look. If you have a tall, slim figure, look for dramatic peplums to cut your height You are the girls, too, who can wear wide belts with interesting inter-esting decorative detail. Double-breasted Double-breasted suits are very flattering. On the other hand, if you are slim, but short look to the short boleros with high cut waistlines, princess lines or pinafore effects. Imaginative Tricks Scarves are a happy pick-up for many an old dress. Wear them as interest underneath the dress to add a touch of gay print or color to the costume, or simply sling them over skirt or dress neckline and tie in back. Don't stop there though, for a scarf can add hip interest if it is wrapped around you and tied in a perky bow. Or, wear it around your head, but experiment experi-ment with effects first There's a variety of ways to wear the peplum. Use it in dramatic and contrasting colors if you want to point up interest at a tiny waistline. Tie them like aprons, pleat them dramatically or use an all-around effect If you want to subtract inches, use peplum colors that match the basic dress and use smooth-fitted effects. Dickies have innumerable potentialities. po-tentialities. Since the area which the dicky covers is small, the color can be Intense but it should be chosen for extreme compliment to you. If you're slender and of an athletic nature, use hug-me-tlght vestees. If you're more the fluffy type, use short boleros that button, but-ton, have sleeve interest and have a perky starchy look about them. Forecast For the younger set the pinched-in pinched-in waistline and wide belts have a wide appeal. Fashions to keep you warm have style, too. Notice the smart lines of fur-lined coats that avoid s baggy appearance, and watch fot color Interest, particularly the contrast con-trast treatment being used quite extensively. ...1,, MI..I.UL.IIIIL.IIJI I1LILI.IIIJIB..II II .lllia.llM IIIUII II H I :.eV Entertain Your Friends at a Buffet (See recipes below) Holiday Buffet The holidays bring with them spirit of good cheer and friendliness that we want to take advantage of the opportunity to entertain our friends. It's so easy to ask people over to see the tree, or stop in for fruit cake that every homemaker should be prepared to set a table worthy of the spirit of the season. By being prepared, we mean in the eood old-fashioned way. of course, witn tne pantry stocked full of good things ready to set on the table at a moment's notice, cookie jars brimming full of their gay, sweet snacks, and the refrigerator ready with a baked ham and salad makings. It's easy to serve buffet style if you have lots of small tables for people to sit down to and eat. Then they can go to the buffet which by the way can be a buffet or a large table and serve themselves as often as they like. With food such as I've outlined, you'll be surprised how often they can come back. Your table should be as pretty as a picture with a white or ivory damask dam-ask cloth. The centerpiece, too, can carry out the holiday mood. Use Christmas greenery abundantly, and if you have branches from the tree, use them with carnations, some artificial arti-ficial snow balls and possibly a snow man as illustrated above. Now, here's the way we prepare the food: Baked Ham. Scrub ham thoroughly before cooking. Place on a rack in shallow pan, skin side up. Bake 25 minutes per pound in a slow (300 degrees) oven. Remove ham hour before it is finished baking. Peel off the rind and score fat. Spread with a desired glaze and insert a whole clove in center of each scored section. Return Re-turn ham to oven for remaining half hour. Here's a list of coatings and glazed mixtures that may be used for ham. 1. 1 cup crushed pineapple mixed with cup sugar. 2. Strained boney mixed with chopped maraschino cherries. S. 1 cup of strained honey mixed with 1 cup cherry Juice. i. Juice of 2 oranges mixed with H cup pineapple Juice, cup sngar and Vt cup white corn syrup. 5. Apricot puree which is made by cooking 2 cups of apricots in V,i cups of water and then rubbing through a sieve. Sweeten with Vt cup corn syrup or sugar. Picture Salad Plate. Place crisp lettuce cups on salad plate. In the center of the plate place a tomato rose, maae Dy mmr.simK cutting tomato into sections and then pulling out "petals" to make a rose. Around the rose, place earrot curls, chilled asparagus aspara-gus tips, and sliced hard cooked eggs. Serve with oil or sour cream dressing.

Quick frozen birds may be used to save time in cleaning. The package may also be left in the refrigerator to defrost This method is the longest, of course, and will take from overnight to Vi days, depending, of course, upon the size of the bird and the refrigerator temperature.

This will take from to 2 hours. Another way is to leave the package at room temperature until the bird is pliable. This will take from 2 to 6 hours. Chickens and turkeys should always al-ways be cooked well done. The secret of well prepared birds is slow cooking at temperatures which are from low to moderate. Kathleen Norris Says: Worry Versus Planning Bell Syndicate. "l usj thinking, dttr, tbsl if thing rsthtf fun to movt to Dad's old pUc$. By KATHLEEN NORRIS STOP worrying about that 12-year-old girl of yours who doesn't seem to be like the other pretty girls, who doesn't make friends, who has grown too tall, who has such abrupt manners. She'll wake up some day and turn out to be a real person, not like you, perhaps, but attractive at-tractive and likable and useful use-ful nonetheless. Stop worrying about litUe Jerry's eyes. They may indeed be troublesome; trou-blesome; it may be that he won't ever have quite normal sight But In that he'll only be like some seven per cent of the world's men and women who have gone straight ahead, not bothering themselves or anyone else about it Stop worrying about darling Mar-Jorie, Mar-Jorie, who is going to bave a third baby, when she and Rod really can't afford one. Help her all you can of course. Go into her house and seize upon the nearest job, dampening dampen-ing clothes and ironing them, straightening the playroom, taking the baby for his diphtheria shots and so on. Be the unpaid, almost unnoticed un-noticed servant in her house. But don't criticize her and don't criticize Rod. Ten years go swiftly, and when you see her in 1957, with her trio or quartette of sons and daughters daugh-ters about her, you'll know why she isn't worrying now. Stop worrying itbout Henry's business busi-ness and stop asking him worrying questions about it That anxious attitude at-titude is infinitely distressful to a tired man. Instead of fluttering about him with "But if Joe Coates gets your job, Henry, what will you do? Can't you go to Mr. Potter? Why don't you just frankly talk to Phil Miller, darling? We simply can't take a cut now. Don't tell Nancy, poor darling, counting on coming out this winter" ; Be Cheerful, Helpful. Instead of that sort of thing, give Henry a cup of hot consomme, lead him to his big chair, tell him a piece of good news, and while you are leisurely lei-surely sipping your own consomme say dreamily, "I was thinking dear, that if things go on this way at the office it'd be rather fun to move to Dad's old place. We could fix it up. Do you realize how that would cut down our expenses? Nancy? Why, there are a thousand fascinating fascinat-ing Jobs that child could take in a book store, or with the radio people, peo-ple, or In Miss Johnson's kindergarten, kindergar-ten, and it'd be a lot better for her than all this keeping up with the Babcock girls." This would show that you're not worrying, and you would have the supreme pleasure of seeing the worry wor-ry drop from Henry's tired eyes, too. Stop worrying about germs.

There is always vague fear of the future, even in the best of circumstanes. The threat of sickness, accident, financial fi-nancial ruin hangs over every one, all the time. For most people peo-ple there are more imminent problems. Some can't be solved. There is nothing to do then but to make the best adjustments adjust-ments possible and to bear the ills of this life with grace and dignity. Other difficulties will yield to intelligent action, such as a burden of debt, or some ailment that can be corrected by surgery. In any case, worry does no good, solves nothing. It can do much barm, as Miss Norris points out in today's article. The children's social awkwardness awkward-ness and physical defects tend to clear up with time. Business and professional uncertainties settle into a smooth pattern. There is nearly always some way out, and the new course may be better than the old, in the long run. So, Miss Norris admonishes, elways be hopeful, cheerful and sensible. If you don't lose your bead and succumb to despair, there is some solution.

Possibly her own protected trio were merrily spreading measles or scarlet scar-let fever among the other passengers. passen-gers. What she needed to do was stop worrying. Find a Way Ont For worrying, substitute planning. If things are really at such a pitch that you can't do anything but rock your head In your frantic hands and say "This can't go on I I won't stand it It's too much!" then substitute planning. Think the thing out coolly. Say to yourself, "I am a human being and life is short Why am I wasting it worrying?" You will Immediately Immediate-ly see that you are fretting over something that is not your business, or something that concerns the opinion opin-ion or criticism of your neighbors and is merely a matter of your own silly pride, or that you can change It "The solution to my own despair and anxiety was right over my head, but it took me months to find it" writes a once-wealthy Los Angeles woman.

Rents from five downstairs apartments total $340 a month. Doctors and nurses bills are paid. Dad is a young man again, and I feel like a young woman, children chil-dren married, no more big bouse troubles, and no worries 1" Whatever it is, worry doesn't help. Planning does.
