COSTUMES OF LIGHTWEIGHT WOOLEN TUNE IN ON A VARIED PROGRAM FRIGIDAIRE RECIPE BOOK IN 2ND EDITION A second edition of 250,000 copies of its new recipe book giving formulas for unusual desserts end salads never before possible to make in the home, has beer sent to the printer by Frigi- dsire Corporation. The first edition, which ran 500.000 copies, was exhaust ed within sixty dny: after publica tion. The book, which is being distribut ed through dealers everywhere fea tures practical household applications of quirk freezing, accordir g to its au thor, Miss Verna L. Miller, head of the corporation’s experiment kitchens. Many of the recipes were devised in conrecthn with engineering develop ment of the Frigtdaire cc»i control, arcla'tvwd t*s the grea-e* single con tribution to h^ustlnld refrigeration since the fir*{ tee box. “The same kit n cf frozen desserts and salads usually enjoyed in hotels and restaurants equipped with power ful refrigeration machine^, may now be made by the average housekeeper in her own kitchen with the help of thess recipss and the aid of cold con trol,** says Miss Miller. “We conducted lengthy and exact ing testa covering each recipe before it was Anally approved. Hurdreds of visitors to the experimental kitchens tasted variations of each recipe and voted their preference. In some cases we tried more than eighty combina- ^^^ns of ingredients before the recipe ^Ks Anally perfected. “In addition, each separate recipe was checked for appeararce. A de. aert must not only be pleasing in taste but also attractive in appearance to win popular approval. The recipes were devised with an eye to economy and ease of preparation. Freezing tests were made under various condi tions to insure uniform results. “Besides giving the advantage of six freezing speeds in obtaining the varied temperatures necessary for freezing these new desserts, cold control cuts the freezing time of ice cubes almost in half.” ~ Presented for Spring Quite an Important fashion develqp- ment of the spring Is the new diagon al stripe print which Is another of fering to the votarlea of modern art Dynamic to a degree, these diagonal stripes give a feeling of movement to any frock made from the print Stripes off the conventional verti cal' or horizontal have never been used before In printed or woven ma terials for women’s garments.

Williston v S. C. IMS Time was when woolen weaves flourished only when the thermom- Her descended the scsle. And now? Sentiment in regard to the timeliness of woolen fabrics has completely changed. And why? Well, because the woolens themselves are that trana- formed, modernized, as it were, they tune Ir. to the scheme of things the whole year round. True, It takes some stretch of the Imagination to believe that the sheer dainty phantomwelght wool georgettes and crepes and lacelike novelty weaves for which the world of fashion Is showing such enthusiasm this season are descendants from the sturdy pro- sale utilitarian woolens of pre-modern days. It ta enough to convert even the meet skeptical Into ardent evolu tionists. But thanks to the weaver's magic art, the miracle has been wrought, with the result that the new woolens are playing a leading rota in the spring and summer style program. One of the most unique and Interest ing fashion shows ever presented was the Golden Fleece pageant which re cently played to a record-breaking audience, turning away over Ave thou sand In one week lirNew York, later repeating Its triumphs and record at tendance In Chicago. The costumes shown wera all of wool, ranging from bathing suits through sports clothes to afternoon appareL Many of the woolens were that sheer and supple they draped like softest of silk. Other* were as diaphanous as the daintiest of chiffons. Still others carried lacelike pntterninga which characterized them at “wool laces." A new fabric which made a decided ly favorable Impression waa white wool pique. The sleeveless frock to the left In the picture Is of this charm ing weave. The white of the wool pique Is contrasted with a piping of batter yellow outlining neckline, sleeves, the tabbed skirt yoke as well as the graceful Jabot. This frock was posed at the style show under a hotter- yellow Asnnel coat, the same made with a draped cape. White kid shoes and a white soft straw hat comple mented this costume, as did also the handbag of white wool pique with botteryellow trim. The bright red wool crepe two-piece Jacket suit, to the right In this Illus tration, has an accordloo-plalted skirt with a scalloped hemline. It la worn with a white-ground striped double- breasted blouse, thus again testifying to the supreme modishness of stripes. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (A ItSt. WtcUrn N««ap«p«r Union.) For Better Homes ' Rhubarb and Strawberry Jam Especially Favored These two flavors combine especial ly well In a preserve, and many peo ple like the slight acidity given by the rhubarb better than the nnfhodlfled sweetness of plain strawberry Jam.

The Florence County Council of Fairm Women adopted a resolution at its spring meeting endorsing cot ton as a container for flour, sugar and feeds, and asking that housewives all over the South demand their groceries in cotton sacks. The preference of the women for cotton bags, as em bodied in the resolution, was based on their ‘ desire to create a better market f° r cotton by using cotton products; and their realization that the cotton cloth could be put to many important uses after the bag was emptied. In connection with the meeting an exhibit of household arti- clea and garments made by farm Tvomen of the State from the laun dered sacks was displayed. A large number of women’s organi zation's in the south have adopted reso lutions in regard to the cotton con tainers. Among them are the South Carolina Federation of Women’s clubs, and county federations and farm women’s councils jn South Carolina, Georgia and Arkansas.
