FISH FILLETS IN TOMATO CUPS

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.

C. D. 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.”

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.

Warm Ski Suit
A successful ski suit has to be
warm, has to be practical and must
be good-looking. The model pic
tured is all that and more. 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.
