Asparagus au Gratin
ASPARAGUS AU GRATIN is
** just the dish to serve when
you are looking for something
especially good to eat that is eas
ily and quickly made. The recipe
given here calls for a medium-
thick white sauce, but instead of
making it you may prefer to use
a can of cream of mushroom, pea,
or celery soup. The soup adds
•flavor and eliminates the task of
making sauce. If you use the
soup, heat it with the cheese and
serve over <the asparagus on toast.
4 tbsp. butter Salt and pepper
4 tbsp. flour 1 can asparagus
2 cups milk 'tips
ft cup grated * 6 slices toast
cheese
Melt the butter, add the flour,
and stir until smooth. Add the
milk and cook until thick, stirring
constantly. Add the cheese and
season with salt and pepper. Heat
the asparagus tips in their own
liquid until they are hot. Arrange
the tips on the toast and serve
with the hot cheese sauce.
Fried slices of pineapple would
be good to serve with the aspara
gus. Sprinkle the slices ever so
lightly with sugar and brown in
butter.

Nation Celebrates
250th Anniversary
Swedenborg’s Birth
AMAZING as it seems that one
xx mind could encompass so many
varied realms of knowledge, never
theless it is true that Emanuel
Swedenborg, the 250th anniversary
of whose birth is being celebrated
this year, made Important contribu
tions in many fields of science, theo
retical and practical, in statesman
ship, philosophy, and religion.
In 1716-1718 he published the first
eclebtific periodical in Sweden, con
taining records of his mechanical
inventions and mathematical dis
coveries, which included the first
airplane design to have fixed wings
and moving propellor, the first air-
pump to employ mercury, and the
description of a method for determin
ing latitude and longitude v at sea by
observations of the moon among the
stars. In the “Principia,” a work on
physics and cosmology, he arrived
at the nebular hypothesis theory be
fore Kant and Laplace. He was 150
years ahead of any other scientist
in his works on the functions of the
brain and spinal cord, and on the
functions of the ductless glands.
SWedenborg served as an active
member of the parliament of his
country for more than fifty years,
introducing fiscal reforms and much
general legislation.
At the age of fifty-five Emanuel
Swedenborg discontinued his scien
tific pursuits and began his work as
a theologian, publishing the “Arcana
Goelestia, Apocalypse Explained”; *
“Heaven and Hell”; “Four Doc
trines” ; “Divine Love and Wisdom”;
“Divine Providence”; “Apocalypse
‘ Revealed”; “Conjugal Love”; “True
Christian Religion”; and other mis
cellaneous theological works. Infor
mation regarding the life and
achievements and the works referred
to, will be sent without charge by

Clever Smocks in Gay Wash Fabrics
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
JF WINTER comes, « can
spring be far behind?—a
query that has a most literal
interpretation when applied to
fashion. While northern bliz
zards rage and their cold
breath sometimes penetrates fiis
to even southern climes, manu
facturers and designers are busy
with beautiful cool washable fab
rics, styling them into feminine ar
ray that bespeaks the height of
fashion.
This fact is illustrated during
spring market week in Chicago
when the national wash- apparel
showings of nearly 10,000 new
-spring and summer styles by over
100 members of the Chicago Wash
Dress and Apparel association are
presented. At this time thousands
of retail buyers from every section
of the country come to this style
mecca to purchase the gay pretty
dresses and blouses, smocks and
housecoats, beach ensembles and
play - suits of washable materials
that cause shop windows to blos
som in the spring and rival the best
efforts of nature in their bright
fresh loveliness.
A prevue of these intriguing
spring and summer fashions holds
good news for women everywhere.
You can get wash materials that
look as if they belong in the silk or
the wool classification and that
dressy and choice in appearance it
is almost unbelievable that they tub
to perfection, but they do. Yes in
deed, it’s going to be one of the
biggest wash dress seasons in
years. Dresses are simple in line
and cut and that makes them easy
to launder, but their very simplicity
embodies all the subtle chic which
American designers have been
learning from Paris all these years.
From a dollar house dress to an
evening formal all the styles are as
smart as .skilled workers and in
genious fashion creators can make
them.
And the smocks! Well, that’s what
we want to tell you about most at
this writing for there is so much of
romance, of charm and chic and flat
tering design expressed in both
their styling and the wash fabrics
of which they are fashioned you will
be wanting to know some of the new
ways they are taking on. Espe
cially so, since at the threshold of
spring, fancy ever turns gaily to
thoughts of assembling a wardrobe
of fresh, pretty clothes for mild-
weather wear, not the least impor
tant among which is a collection of
smocks that while they be utilitari
an (that’s taken for granted) they
must qualify, as “a thing of beauty
and a joy forever”—carry with
them, so to speak, a guarantee to
make the wearer look her most
charming self at work or at play.
Well, here they are, just such
smocks as you are looking for,
three of the prettiest models you
will And, look the fashion world
over if you will. See them pic
tured here, right before your very
eyes, each a Barmon smock of
printed broadcloth. The one to the
left shows a gorgeous flowered pat
terning that carries you right out
of mid-winter gloom into the out
stretched arms of spring. The les
son this gladsome smock teaches is
that you can’t possibly go too far in
choosing ’em gay this spring, for
all signs say that prints are going
to be more extravagantly colorful
than ever.
Looking for the rainbow are you?
Well just glimpse the smock to the
right, if you please. See your covet
ed rainbow in all its glory for the
girl pictured is wearing a five-color
rainbow smock.
The gem of ’em all, in our opin
ion, is centered in the group. This
gypsy fringe frock, as it is called,
is designed from a Rumanian
shawl, for the shawl, as we all
know, is the most prized possession
of a gypsy lass. Particular atten
tion is called to the fringe of golden
hue which adds gorgeous glamor to
the picturesque mode.

COLLEGE GIRL CHIC
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
What the college girl affects in
the simplicity of the peasant ban
danna which she dotes on wearing,
just as you see in the picture, is
offset by the sophisticated jewelry
which she takes keenest delight in
displaying. If she has gone proper
ly mbdern she invariably wears a
single strand of pearls with a sweat
er, and the latest trick of the cam
pus is a gold and crystal bracelet
with ker favorite movie star pic
tured in each crystal ball. The little
finger ring is cunningly designed of
gold to look like a belt with buckle
of diamonds. The other bracelet is
very striking, made with cabochon-
cut green onyx and chalcedony set
in gold.
Evening Slippers
Printed evening slippers that in
clude many different colors are be
ing worn at the southern resorts.
Really New Beret to Make
Its Appearance in Spring
The ubiquitous, springtime beret
has a new interpretation in exquisite
pastel felts—pinks and blues—with
high front on a navy grosgrain head-
band and worn flat as a pancake on
the back of the head. But the news
is the sophisticated navy face veil
Sally Victor, designer, tied around
with swishy bow ends. Then a prim
little white toya sailor with mercury
wings has a green face veil tied
about it and a sophisticated shiny
Milan in black banded in Persian
embroidery has a crisp black veil
tied in a big bow.
Navy Blue Makes Stylish
Tailored Street Dresses
Navy blue tailored street dresses
with touches of white trim are fea
tured for daytime wear, both in
light woolens and silk crepes in the
Mainbocher mid-season collection.
Of simple line, the frocks are made
with elaborate detail, and the white
of the trim is repeated in gloves for
the costume.
Chalk stripe and pin stripe suits
in black and navy are shown with
the tunic length jackets introduced
by that house in a recent collec
tion.
Printed Linings Furnish
Lively Touch to Costume
The woman who wants to intro
duce a lively touch to a winter
costume but thinks an entire printed
frock is too springlike or too gay, will
be interested in the vogue of printed
linings. These are employed not
only for short jackets and longer
coats but for handbags, belts and
hemlines. A dark frock that flares
at the skirt hem will be enhanced
by a printed facing, matched per
haps by the lining of the belt or by
hat trimrping.

Items of Interest
to the Housewife
Use for Old Shears.—Old shears
are useful in salad making to
shred the leaves of lettuce or oth
er greens.
• * *
Before Baking Potatoes.—Let
them soak in cold, salted water
for 15 minutes. They will bake in
half the time.
* • *
For Home Dressmaking.—Make
a small pincushion and sew it to
a “bracelet” of elastic. Stick
some pins in the cushion, slip the
bracelet on your left wrist and
the pins are always handy.
* * •
Bacon in Stuffing. — Bacon,
chopped small, should be added to
all stuffing. It gives a delicious
flavor.
• * *
Cream Soup.—To prevent skin
from forming on a cream or milk
soup, beat it just before serv
ing. The froth protects it. from
skin formation.
* * *
Tasty Sandwiches.—To vary the
plain peanut butter sandwich, mix
peanut butter with chili sauce,
spread on slices of hot buttered
brown bread, and put together
with crisp lettuce leaves. Gar
nish with slices of dill pickle.
* • •
Haddock With Tomatoes.—Lay a
small dried haddock in a pan with
a little water and bake for ten
minutes. Remove skin and bones,
and flake the fish into large flakes.
Melt two tablespoonfuls butter in
a saucepan, fry a little chopped
onion lightly in it, add one-half
cup canned tomatoes, and cook
until soft. Put in the fish and a
little chopped parsley, season, stir
over low heat until all is thorough
ly hot, then serve.
• * *
Remember Our Feathered
Friends.—Birds welcome bread
crumbs and suet when winter
winds are howling, but don’t forget
to provide shelter for them so
they may eat in comfort. Roost
ing boxes are easy to make and
save the life of many a bird.
* * *
When Boiling Suet Pudding.—
Put three or four slices of orange
rind in the water. These will col
lect all the grease, and the pud
ding will be light.
Invisible Determination
Is Secret of the Great
Samuel Crowther wrote an ar
ticle in which he examined the
traits of many notable men. In
this article, among other things,
he said:
“The only common trait which
can be discovered among truly
great men has to do with the
capacity they have for sustained
work in the time of an emergency.
“Someone has said that the
chief difference between a big
man and a little man is that the
little man lays down and quits
when he discovers that he is tired
and sleSpy, while that is the very
time that the big man presses on
harder than ever.” — Hoard’s
Dairyman.
Reduced Clothing Costs
Because advertising created a
demand, women can buy ready-
to-wear garments at about the
cost they paid for the materials
only a third of a century ago.
Advertising, in addition to de
creasing clothing costs, created
jobs for many thousands of
workers.
