THE SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1940. Household Meius FISH FILLETS IN TOMATO CUPS See Recipe* Below My Family Likes Fish! "There’s aU the health of the sea In fish,” according to an old saying, and modern home makers find that there’s variety and economy for menus, too. Fish and sea foods are available the year ’round in almost limitless variety. In most markets it’s possi ble, now, to purchase (1) fish “in the round,” just as it comes from the water, (2) fish that is cleaned, scaled, and ready to cook, (3) bone less fish fillets, and (4) fish steaks. Fish and sea foods may be pur chased quick-frozen too. If fish is purchased “in the round,” that is with skin, bones, head, and tail included, allow one pound of fish per serving; if pur chased cleaned and scaled, allow one pound for two servings, and if purchased in the form of fish fillets or fish steaks, allow one pound for three servings. Fish cookery is simple, especially when you use fish that is cleaned and scaled, fillets, steaks, or the quick-frozen products. Remember, though, that the flavor of most fish is delicate, and that you need well- seasoned sauces and accompani ments to serve with it. You’ll find practical and easy-to- follow recipes for preparing fish and sea foods in my booklet, “Feeding Father.” There are recipes for the old-fashioned cod fish balls men love, for delicious clam chowder, and for the other fish and sea food dishes you’ll want to serve your family often.

Gibson Gibson Girl A IX. the “Miss Americas” not- withstanding—and in spite of all the so-called American sweet hearts, past and present—there has been only one truly American girl, the Gibson Girl. She was tall, re served and overdressed but for more than 20 years she was the idol of .America—admired by the men and imitated by the women. The Gibson Girl was sometimes athletic, some times shy and sometimes regal —but always she was pure. She sat in the back of rowboats, a para- sol over her shoulder. She rode horseback— side - saddle, of course. She played croquet— without stooping. And who was the real Miss Gibson? Nobody but an imaginary creature of Charles Dana Gibson, the artist who drew her. Born at Roxbury, Mass., in 1867, he became one of America’s greatest illus trators. He made his first sale at 19 to Life magazine and was still a young man when Colliers ordered 100 drawings from him at $1,000 each. The name of Gibson, through his creation of another person, was as widely known as any throughout the world. Kaiser Wilhelm II was a Gibson Girl fan, the czar of Russia had a collection of her pictures and the drawings were popular in Alaska and Tokyo. A man by the name of Gibson cre ated a girl more popular than the Cleopatra of yesterday or the Ann Sheridan of today. And when a girl who doesn’t exist has more oomph than those two, she’s really got something! • • • Bessemer Steel A NYOKE who knows anything at all about steel has heard of the Bessemer process for making it, but hardly anyone knows about Sir Hen ry Bessemer. He invented the proc ess of converting cast iron into tough steel. He was an English engineer born in 1813. During the Crimean war, he wanted to perfect a cannon that would fire a spin ning projectile but the cast iron in the guns was not strong enough to withstand the more powerful ex plosion that was necessary. In Paris ha was able to make a strong er cast iron. Then he succeeded in producing steel, patenting the process in 1855. It consists of burn ing out the carbon and other im purities by blasting air through the molten metal, a process still in use today. Sir Henry was a prolific inventor. He was the first to compress graph ite into a solid mass so that lead pencils could be made. One of his first inventions was a method of impressing the govern ment seal on papers so it could not be forged. The royal government promptly stole his patent without any attempt at recompense. But later in life he made a vigorous pro test and the government apologized for its misdeed and made him a knight to quiet him ... a reason as good as many others for bestowing the title of sir upon an Englishman. • • • ’Annie Oakleys’ I N THE show business, all passes for free tickets are known as An nie Oakleys. The reason for call ing them that is vague, but the per sonality of the original Annie Oak ley for whom they are named is not. She was America’s greatest markswoman—and “America’s Sweetheart,” too, long before Shir ley Temple—or even Mary Pickford won that title. Known as “Lit tle Sure Shot,” Annie Oakley used to perform feats of marks manship with the pistol and rifle in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show. One of the many versions of how free tickets came to be known as “Annie Oakleys” is as follows: Before her performances, she used to appear outside the tent, toss a pack of cards into the air and shoot at them. Anyone who was able to survive the scramble and ob tain a card with a bullet hole in it was given a free admission to the show. Just an ordinary playing card would not admit you—it had to have a bullet hole in it. In other words, it had to be aa “Annie Oakley.” <R*l»aseci by Western Neu spnper Union.) Sir H. Bessemer Annie Oakley By CHERIE NICHOLAS TF YOU are seeking drama, thrill and adventure in fashion’s realm, read on and you will get all three, for it’s exciting news we are about to tell you. For sheer breathtaking news what could be more so than to announce balbriggan embroidered with glittering jewels and silver threads as fashion’s latest whim. Which goes to show to what ex tremes designers will go to achieve the new and the beautiful in cos tume design. The charming dress pictured to the left tells the story, in that it is fashioned of simple balbriggan en riched with sparkling diamond em broidery interworked with silver thread. And a very significant fash ion it is, for it carries the message that embroidery worked on knitted fabric and wool weaves is highly important news for midseason and the months to come. Note the peg- top skirt with its pocket detail. Which is more news and vastly im portant for this is the silhouette in versatile interpretation you will be seeing throughout the spring style parade. See the very elegant evening en semble centered in the group. The material is champagne flannel em bellished with gold applique and em broidery. The decollette neckline is softly shirred in front and goes low in the back. It is the jacket dress of this type and others equally as interesting that has become the theme among themes in the fashion world for evening wear. A spider web snood of gold thread, together with black gloves and bag give dramatic accent. If you are in society you perforce must have one or more stunning eve ning wraps. The newest turn of fashion is to make your formal floor- length coat of a handsome wool ma terial. White tweed is tops and there are also choice flannels, du- vetyns, broadcloths, repps and twills that are well liked. The glamorous white evening coat shown to the right is typical of the new trend. It is in heavy white tweed with dis tinctive gold kid applique and em broidery. Her evening accessories are in gold, likewise the six buttons that fasten the coat. Speaking of embroidery on wool the new treatment applies to day time fashions as well as to evening modes. The newest out are the cun ning wool classics in pastel which feature dresses tailored to perfec tion. Many of these have large shapely pockets so gaily embroid ered they give color dash to the entire costume. As to the countless wool sweaters, both sports and for mal types, their name is legion. The neat black dress does not es cape the embroidery craze. Like a blaze of glory colorful sequin em broidery illuminates sleeves, neck lines and often the waistline, for the wide embroidered belt is an out standing style feature. White bead- work on the black or navy dress is also style-approved. Not only embroidery but all sorts of surface decoration enhance fash ionable apparel this season. Favor for Trapunto quilted design is not on the wane. Then, too, there is con siderable cording being done row upon row, likewise stitching and fine tucking. Very new indeed is the applique of self wool fabric that is being worked out on the new pastel frocks. Flowers and other motifs are cut out of the self wool material, then worked on the bodice in various ways. Fact is, designers are manip ulating the new and beautiful wool ens with a display of originality and imagination that is amazing. Per haps this has come about in that modern woolens are so all-intriguing they challenge talent and genius to give of their best in creating of them fashions of surpassing chic and charm.

The outfit is of dark green gabardine with just enough wool-knit worked into the jacket front to be protective and “comfy.” Elastic at the waist insures a snug fit. Depend upon it this suit will give real service, be sides being so good looking your friends will all admire. Dark and Misty A color as subtle as its name is one of Schiaparelli’s new dark tones called “thick mist.” It is a slatey, bluish gray, almost smoky in tone, I and considered important both for , day and evening clothes. Daring Colors Are Seen in New Mode Describing a sports ensemble worn at a recent gathering of smart ly dressed guests—the skirt, a pleat ed black model, the jacket in bright fuchsia worn over a violet sweater, accessory touches including tur quoise costume jewelry and a stun ning draped turban done in Roman stripes that picked up the various colors throughout the costume. To be sure a color ensemble like this requires a master stroke of artistry to carry it through successfully, which brings us to the message we would convey, namely that while daring things are being done with color in the new fashions, they are carried out with the color sense of a true artist to the extent that wom en who follow in fashion’s footsteps are developing a high sense of color values. In fact this season’s modes gives promise of being truly educa tional in color artistry. The new duo-color costumes are especially interesting that play one color up against another fearlessly, such as for instance navy with a gray blouse and a gypsy tie girdle in green and cerise. Pastels are being contrasted after the same manner. One designer uses pink with blue satin for a charming blouse. Gray Dinner Frock For Informal Wear All in tones of gray, even to its metallic embroidery, is the dinner costume meant to be worn for in formal evenings at a northern win ter resort. The outfit consists of a brief knitted gray evening sweater embroidered with silver sequins and makes an attractive outfit.
