The distance from the ground to the bottom of the display proper is 122 feet. The display itself is 153 feet long by 148 feet high. It will be illuminated with 17,240 lamps and 1,100 feet of neon tub ing.

Ruffling may be bought by the yard to trim neck and pockets and the slashes in the front may be omitted, and the dress would then take about one after noon to make and have ready to put on in the morning. It is very charming in blue or pink printed percale, or in green with clusters of white dots and white ruffling.

Of all the known metals, only a- bout one-third are being commer cially utilized. Yorktown has received the gift of a sapling from the famous elm tree under which George Washington took command of the revolutionary army. Beef stews, many in kind, are all a big help to the depleted budget. They make use of the less-demand ed cuts, combining their excellent nutritive value and flavor with that of the vegetables, to make the whole meal more satisfying and en joyable. Beef stews, though all called stews, need not be alike. A touch of this seasoning, a dash of that, a different vegetable combination, or the addition of dumplings or bis cuits may make the difference so there need be no monotony even if they are served often. Much of the attractiveness of a j stew depends upon the way it is j served. The vegetables should j never lose their identity, and as i most cooks know, this means that they become soft and mushy. Add them just long enough before the meal is to be served that they will! be done, but not soft. Stews of distinction always please. Here are recipes for ones which deserve the title. They are suggested by Inez S. Willson, home economist.
