The gossamer-texture- d scarves are pulled through a close-littin- g Deck-lac- e with ends worn in a side-bo-effect or as a jabot frill underneath the chin. This is as effective in contrasting dark colors or sombre colors, the latter very new, as in a print.

WOMAN'S WORLD Mantels Give Homes Extra Personality By Ertta Haley AS A WOMAN completes JUST costume effectively with a dramatic hat, so should a room be punctuated with at least one fea-ture which draws the eye and creates a favorable impression. If you are the lucky owner of a mantel or fireplace in your liv-ing room, then strive to make this the exclamation point for the room. One of the most common faults In decorating a place which ama-teurs make is the lack of effect. They're afraid to do something just a bit startling which would serve to give a room interest and personality. The thing to do, then, is to be daring and willing to try out sev-eral ideas which might do the trick. Study the room from dif-ferent angles; consider the light; take notice of the furnishings; and, above all, try to reflect your in-terests and hobbies in decorating. Use Imagination Instead of Stereotypes If many of us think of a mantel as a shelf with a mirror with two pots of ivy carefully placed on either side of it, then, it's no won- - copper or brass pieces are set off to good advantage on it. Here's How to Use Too-Sma- ll Mirrors In rooms in which you want to create an illusion of size, a mirror i is quite acceptable over the man-- tel. But what happens when your particular mirror is too small for the space? This problem is easily solved by placing attractive prints, framed simply, on either side of the mirror. Two prints hung one above the other, can look very handsome indeed. Just in case you are dissatis-fied with the mirror arrangement, you might look for a clock in what-ever period the room is furnished. Place this in the center and flank with candlesticks. Just in case you want a mantel and have none, don't despair. Good stock mantels may be pur-chased. To keep down the ex-pense, put it up yourself or hire someone while the season is slack. Avoid a cluttered effect by keep-ing the decorative pieces to two or three. del. Such has been the tradition-al and over-use- d decorative effect employed for mantels from coast to coast. Such stereotypes are no longer considered good taste or fine de- - II it lar point. Then the men may gath-er around the mantel where you've arranged comfortable chairs and discuss their hobby with map con-veniently at hand. Do you yourself like collecting quaint antique pieces? An old oval gilt mirror can be painted in modern colors, if that is the type of room you have, then placed on the mantel. If you can find old crystal candle brackets to go on either side of the mirror, the ef-fect is complete. Mantel Cupboards Ideal If You Collect Do you collect interesting pieces of china, rare glass, pottery or knick-knacks- ? These would be very attractive in a mantel cup-board which can easily be built or hung on the wall. Many of the new homes may even have a built-i- n set of shelves above the mantel, and this offers an ideal place, for showing your hobby.

Mantels are now seen as something which guests will ex-claim about and which the home-make- r can look at several times a day and purr with contentment. Are you interested in old prints or reproductions of fine paintings? Perhaps you have clipped out sets of attractive pictures which may be framed. All these reflect your taste and interest, and are natural to use in the room. Have the prints matted against a color that picks up the most dominant tone used in the room. Hang them above the mantel-J-three rows of four pictures each, or in another suitable arrange-ment. How pleasing this will look! Think, too, of the conversa-tions it can create while you en-tertain. You'll be well pleased over what the imagination can do. Let Personality Guide You Is your husband interested in world affairs? That means he un-doubtedly gathers friends about him who have the same interest. What could be more effective under these circumstances than having a large world map placed on the wall over the mantel?

Though some adults think that coloring eggs is strictly child's play and should be left to youngsters, a large percentage of grownups doesn't agree. As a matter of fact, many people welcome Easter as a time when their artistic skill can be brought into full swing. You may make the eggs as elab-orate or as simple as you like. Perhaps a few brightly colored eggs in a gay basket as a setting for the Easter breakfast table are all you'll want. On the other hand, you may want to try out your skill at making faces or pencilling LYNN CHAMBERS' EASTER MENU Roast Leg of Lamb Sweet Potato Puffs New Peas in Cream Carrot-Asparag- Salad Sally Lunn Muffins Currant Jelly Beverage Strawberry Ice Cream or Peach Refrigerator Pudding Recipe given 1 tablespoon butter Cream to moisten Vi teaspoon salt Yi teaspoon nutmeg Crushed cornflakes 1 egg Water Boil potatoes in boiling water un-til tender.

Bake in a greased pan in names on col-ored eggs. With certified Easter egg col-ors that come with a handy writer, you'll be able to create a moderate (350) oven un-til browned, 15 to 20 minutes, or, fry in hot, ! deep fat. (Fat should be hot enough to brown eggs as simple or professional as you like. Eggs will be effective and appropriate place cards at the East-er dinner. Two appropriate creations cer-tain to appeal are the pert bunny and a coy little chick. Stiff white cardboard is used for the base and for the stand-u- p collars that hold the eggs. Use yellow dye for the chicken. Rest the egg on a collar with a perky bow tied under the "chin." Paint on eyelashes and attach a paper beak at the right place. Stand a feather up the back, and you'll have a chicken everyone will love! The rabbit is prettiest when dyed light blue or pink. Use little white reinforcements (the kind the young-sters get for notebook paper) for the eyes and mouth. Bits of white string tucked under the "mouth" make whiskers and long, tapering pieces of crepe paper make- - the ears. Turn the collar down in front to make ' a pointed collar and the bunny is complete. EASTER DINNER might be built around lamb with appropriate sauce and spring vegetables. Roast Leg of Lamb Have leg of lamb boned and rolled by the butcher. Wipe with a damp cloth.

Built upon the old Jewish faith, carrying over much of its ritual magnificence, still the law is that of the humble carpenter who let them crucify Him, and forgave them with His dying breath. Had we followed His law closely and heroically, we would not be where we are today. There would never have been slums and poverty, heartless wealth and bitter need.- When spring brings the glory and beauty, the lilacs and buttercups of Easter, we must admit that there is something we don't understand in the power of Christ's name that name that eclipses all other names. By KATHLEEN NORRIS "TF I COULD actually have seen a miracle, in the days of Christ's life on earth, of course I'd believe!" So many people bewildered, anx-ious, troubled in these dark days say that, that it seems worth while to point out to them in this time of Easter, a real living, inex-plicable, undeniable miracle. Well, then, there lived a young carpenter 2,000 years ago, who talked strange talk of God's being his father. God, the avenging, cruel, mysterious ruler of the old reli-gions, just as a father, understand-ing and wise and loving! This was so extraordinary an idea that it is no wonder that this young man, Jesus, was regarded with dark suspicion. He never wrote a line, never had any position or money, never gained an influential friend, and He presently died the death of a com-mon criminal. All this happened in a little oriental town more ob-scure than is the nearest cross-roads village to you. No railway to his town, no telephone, radio, movie news. Nothing. Nothing, one would think, to prevent this po-litical criminal from sinking into the obscurity that has swallowed up such young radicals from the beginning of time. Radical in His Ideas For radical He was. He said children were way ahead of the rest of us in the secret of eternal life; He said the humblest among us would one day stand first; He said anyone who needed your kindness was your neighbor. He said things about feeding the hungry, clothing the naked that were quite new to oriental philosophy. And He went further; He went against all human precedent and cnstnm Hp said. "FnrrHvft vnlir enemies." Why should you? He said, "If your enemy take your cloak, give him your coat also." Who ever heard such nonsense? He said, "Overcome not evil with evil, but overcome evil with good." Why, said the wiseacres then as they are saying today if you did that, your enemies would simply walk over you, and you'd be destroyed! So they began to re-gard Him as dangerous, and in the end satisfied themselves that they had destroyed him. Spread Across the World However, they hadn't. With the inexorable power of its divine or-igin, that strange doctrine of His spread spread to the new world of Europe, the new world of the western hemisphere. And the blaz-ing, irrefutable miracle of this Easter Day is that the name of thi3 obscure carpenter is today the one best known among all men. We call our world Christendom. We call our philosophy Christianity. Christianity ruled Europe for hundreds of years.' What else did Europe have that the oriental na-tions didn't have? I can think of nothing fundamental. Was it Christ's law, then, feebly and imperfectly as it was followed, that raised the cathedrals and the hospices, that painted - the great Madonnas and cut the marble saints, that added streets, hospitals, museums, colleges, libraries, bridges and laws becoming stead-ily more and more humane?

Doan'a baw dnJl World Nations Battle Insects Wage Unceasing Fight To Safeguard Health NEW YORK. At New York har-bor the other day a ship came in from the Mediterranean. Amid the tears and the laughter and the confetti there were a few wry faces and sore left arms. Those faces were wry and the arms sore because a couple of hours earlier, while the ship was still out at sea, a young doctor in the blues of the United States health service had boarded her and checked every passenger's typhoid immunization. And those who diih't have the vaccine, got it right there before they came into the harbor, courtesy the United States government. Com-ing down the gangplank then, they weren't feeling so hot. But 140 mil-lin- n Ampn'rans WAffl against the devastating death and damage of a typhoid epidemic. Radio Gave Report How did they know that day at the port of New York and, for that matter, at every port and airport in the United States that there was a need to watch out for typhoid from the Mediterranean area? They knew because early that morning doctors in every port and airport turned on their short wave radios at the required hour and heard a voice say, first in French and then in English, Russian and Spanish: "This is the intelligence service of the world health organi-zation calling all ports, airports and ships at sea. Three cases of the plague were reported this morning at Hong Kong; seven cases of chol-era in Egypt, and typhoid in the Mediterranean area. ..." The world health organization is one of the agencies of United Na-tions and in its intelligence service every one of the UN members, and 11 states, to carry on a unique kind of espionage, spying on bacilli. Started In 1916 The world health organization be-gan to build its "epidemiological in-telligence service" that is the offi-cial name in 1946, almost as soon as it was organized. Some of the functions were taken over from the League of Nations: Others were with existing regional operations, such as the work of the health institute in which the nations of hemisphere had been ter than a good mixture. Many against disease. By Jan. 1, 1949, it was all wrapped up into one global antipest operation. And today WHO "agents," working in with the governments and especial-ly the public health services of the countries in which they are sta-tioned, are on the job at all times tracking down the five worst ene-mies of mankind: cholera, small-pox, yellow fever, typhoid and the plagu THE GARDEN SPOT 1 Don't Get Along Without Bulbs -- By Eldred E. Green I "THE WORLD is so full of a num-ber of thuigs ..." said Robert Louis Stevenson. That is so true in the garden. There are so many kinds of plants that it is hard to know where to stop to keep the garden from going out of bounds. Unless we are specializing in one kind of garden there should be some of eat h group of plants, as each has its own merits. Summer bulbs are one oi these groups. The common-est ones are the Gladiolas and Can-na- Gladiolas are superb for the gar-den, and for cuttint? there is nothing cession of flowers. Some kinds bloom earlier than others, so many varieties can be planted at the same time and will give a long flowering period. Cannas are exceedingly showy. The large broad light green or bronzy leaves look tropical in the garden. The big colorful flowers can be seen for a long way. They are not good for cutting but give a wonderful display in the garden. For best results plant in a sunny spot and give lots of water and mnnure. The rooft are planted when the weather is warm, or may be started inside or in a coldframe. They are harvested like gladiolas and stored the same way. Dahlias are conspicuous in the summer bulb line. The roots are like sweet potatoes in shape and need a good potato soil for best re-sults. There are many kinds of dahlias from low dwarf ones to tall ones with huge flowers. Dahlias are useful for cut flowers, especial-ly in the smaller varieties, although the large are too big for good in-door effect. Dahlia tubers are harvested like gladiolas but the storage of them is finer. The long spikes of flowers with a few buds op-ening every day will give a fine dis-play for weeks ei-ther in the garden or in a vase. New varieties are con-stantly appearing and the list for the home garden changes from year to year as the price romes Hnwn. different. They should be kept in sawdust, peatmoss or. dry soil so that the roots do not shrivel. In some soils the roots are soft and do not keep well. A good root cellar would be suitable for dahlias, since they need dampness and coolness for good keeping. For starting, there is nothing bet-ter than a good mixture. Many firms guarantee a certain number of kinds in their mixtures without naming the exact varieties. This will give you an introduction to the many colors and the types so that you can select from the named kinds in the future. Glads need little care. A good garden soil with plenty of sun or a well fertilized sand are fine. The bulbs are planted about three times the diameter of the bulb in depth. Keep out weeds and water in long dry spells. In fall the bulbs are dug after the first light frost has killed the foliage. Dry for several days and then store in a dark cool place until spring. Planting starts in spring when the soil is warm and continues for several weeks to provide for a suc- - Summer bulbs are useful for bold effects and for cut flowers to supplement the per-ennials and annuals in the garden. They provide a lot of satisfaction for a little work. |
