Show I Of Interest to Women Readers j ...' ,,,tTT A little girl needs a pocket on every dress. When it interferes with the trimming or design to put it on the outer part, place it on the bloomers. Here it will also help to show which is the front of the bloomers. Variety in texture makes the meals more ' appetizing. Have one food with a crisp crust, like corn fritters, or scalloped tomatoes; another with a sauce; and a third simply cooked in water and seasoned with melted butter. A raw vegetable like celery or radishes lends still further variety. An old fashioned remedy for a stain made by tar, axle grease, road oil, creosote, asphalt or asphalt paint, is to rub lard thoroughly into the stain and then wash it with hot water wa-ter and soap. The treatment may have to be repeated. Otherwise one of the solvents, such as carbon tetrachloride, choloform, turpentine, or benzol may be used. I When making a two-piece dress for a growing girl, take a tuck in both skirt and unde'rwaist, so that when you are letting down the garment you can change it proportionately. Stitch the tucks at half inch intervals with a long- loose stitch. When the first row of stitching is ripped out the dress is lengthened an inch and can be I lengthened again. I Fruit drinks made from the juices I of fresh fruit, toned up usually with ; a little lemon juice, are ideal for sum- mer picnics. Try various combinations combina-tions of orange, blackberry, raspberry, raspber-ry, or grape juice, with perhaps ginger gin-ger ale or carbonated water to give sparkle. The juices can be squeezed out at home, sweetened, chilled, and carried to the picnic in vacuum bottles j or surrounded by ice. Serve small' or moderate-sized portions por-tions in warm weather and avoid waste. On warm days the appetite does not seem as active as in the cold months. Choose cooling foods, crisp in texture, for part of the meal, and give considerable attention to the appearance of the food and the table. Out-of-doors meals on the porch or lawn will be found popular and easy, if some of the preparations can be done early in the day. |
