/ THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C. Cordurella Is an Ideal Fabric For School Wear These Cold Days By CHERIE NICHOLAS OW that the holiday season is ' over, mother’s thoughts turn to taking up the matter of household sewing to be done. First in mind is that little daughter needs school, play and party dresses which are both “comfy” and -etty-pretty at the same time. And she kn >ws the finished garments will be just that, for she has decided to make them of cordurella, the soft modern pinwale version of the corduroy ever be loved by both mother and daughter. It’s evident that mother’s initial shopping tour in the new year will lead straight to the fabric section where she will buy so many yards of cordurella in this color and so many in tnat. Then to the pattern counter to choose the latest in jump er, party and play clothes. Or per haps mother will decide to buy the little garments ready-made. In ei ther event the result will be just such cunning styles as are here pic tured. . Designers of little folks fashions are using this year many of the de tails that distinguish college-girl and big-sister clothes, much to the de light of the youngsters. For exam ple, the popular and practical jump er dress such as you see pictured herewith to the right has become as important a “success” fashion for little girls as it is with their elders. The jumper dress stands out pre eminently as about the most practi cal style for youngsters that moth ers could choose. The cordurella of which it is made is a favorite be cause of its style-with-stamina qual ities. It’s so easy to launder, too. Nice for balmy days with a cunning blouse, and worn with a sweater top in cold bleak weather it’s a perfect answer to the “keep warm” prob lem. Buttons all the way down the front. Typical of the gay trimmings that dress up classic styles is the shoulder-strap type centered in the group. It has bands of bright col ored braid to set off the dark tone of the cordurella. A long-sleeved blouse which buttons inside the cuff for easy handling is just like moth er’s favorite mode. If a remnant of cordurella be left over in the same or even a different color a wise move would be to stitch up a wee bolero to wear with this dress, which would multiply its usefulness. A winsome dressy version is seen in the party dress of cordurella shown to the left. This little charmer is gaily trimmed with col orful embroidery on the tiny bod ice. Crisp white ruching tucked into the square neckline is another reason why this dainty little frock will endear itself to the little girl who wears it. Beloved among the party frocks shown in new collections, a favorite is a cute princess style with dainty lace collar and tiny puff sleeves. This model comes in heavenly pink or celestial blue cordurella, guar anteed to make any little beloved daughter look like an angel child. Deeper blues are used for the old er sizes, such as delft blue, dark green and bright red. A little pinafore with full skirt and jumper top with straps over the shoulders, something that mother can run up in a jiffy on the ma chine, will prove a very practical addition to a child’s wardrobe. Then there’s the smart little cardigan jacket or bolero suits that are so very attractive. You can make them or you can buy them. In order to conserve the limited yardage available just now, cordu rella is sometimes combined with other fabrics. The jodphur suit so smart for either brother or sister is sometimes made up of gabardine for the pants topped with a cor durella jacket. Long overalls for tiny tots are of cordurella with jacket to match in Dutch blue styled with a front of gabardine. Released by Western Newspaper Union.

It seems that wool jersey has everything that goes to make up the perfect hood. It’s a success from the “keep warm” standpoint, and the way designers are letting imagi nation have full sway in way of pic turesque effects is something to ad mire. Although other materials are also used for the now-so-popular hoods, when it comes to actual count it’s the hood of colorful wool jersey that outnumbers them all. It adds to “the picture” that many of these fanciful hoods are trimmed with glit tering sequins. Very charming too , is the jersey hood that is yarn- embroidered in gay flowers. It adds • to .. _ir practicality that many of i the jersey hoods have scarf ends to j throw about neck and shoulders. This clever shoulderette is cre ated from a very beautiful scarf. It is a large square with a huge cabbage rose on a background wall paper print done in black and white. The focal point of interest in this lovely topper for dress-up oc casions is the realistic rose. The shoulderette is achieved in a jiffy. Merely knot the ends of the square to form armholes and turn the bor der back for added sleeve and col lar interests.

When a Feller Needs a Friend (“During his visit home the President dropped in on Eddie Jacobson, his old partner in the hat store.”—News Item.) Harry—Well, Ed, how goes it? Eddie—Pretty good, Harry. How bad are things in your line? President—They’re not good. Eddie—I gathered as much from the papers. Lately every time I got to thinkin’ that I had troubles, I just thought of you. I ain’t felt so sorry for anybody since we sold that shirt with the short tail to the tallest man in town. President—Believe me, Ed, I can use your sympathy. Eddie—Being President ain’t what it’s cracked up to be, eh? President—Not even close. Mind if I just sit down and look over the stock? Eddie—I ain’t got much stock, Harry . . . just a few hats and ties left after the holiday rush. President (admiringly) — That’s okay. Hats and ties look better to me now than when I was in busi ness. It sort of comforts me to sit here surrounded by haberdash ery. 4 Eddie—A hat shop ain’t a bad place, Harry. President—You’re tellin’ me! Eddie—The nearest thing I ever saw to a pressure group around here was once when three women came in to tell one man what kind of a necktie he ought to pick out. * President—How long have I been here, Ed? Eddie—About ten minutes. President—And not a demand so far for a special favor from any di rection! Mighty nice place this. ♦ Eddie — Well, always remember I’d be glad to have you back with me in the store. President—That’s the nicest thing that’s been said to me since I got into the White House. Eddie—And I ain’t lookin’ for no post as an ambassador, either! * President — Just imagine being back in the hat shop. . . Just to be able to sell a collar witn no news reel men recording the deed for pos terity ... to be able to dress the front window without having it full of newspaper men! Eddie—Just to take a nap on the counter without any fear you were imperiling the future of civilization, eh? President—Oh, man! • • * Memories of Early Autos Floyd Clymer of Los Angeles, writing a book, recalls the old-time automobiles, naming the Ace, Alco, AJpena, Apperson, Chandler, Cleve land, Franklin, Flanders, Kissel and Ldrier among others.

Seasoning Saves This Shrimp Dish (See Recipes Below) Meals With Zest Families, long accustomed to the figors of wartime cooking, now ivant something different since ra tioning has ended. This does not necessarily mean more meat, but it loes mean that you cooks will have to wise up to the new ways of sea soning and make things taste ex tra special. If you and your familly are taste- ;onscious—and who isn’t these days —then handle each food as though it were a priceless posses sion and try to make the most of it. In vegetables this means cook ing them until they are tender, but still crisp and crunchy. In meats, it means bringing out the best in those hearty flavors; and in salad dressings, it means a careful blend of seasonings that will accent the best in fruit and vegetable fla vors. Take pork chops, for instance. We all know they’re good, but they can be very special when their rich, sa vory flavor is highlighted with a bit of sage dressing, like this: *Pork Chops on Sage Dressing. (Serves 4) 4 pork chops, floured 2 tablespoons sliced onion 1 teaspoon salt Vz teaspoon pepper teaspoon sage IVb cups diced bread 1 tablespoon butter or substitute 1 teaspoon minced celery 1 tablespoon minced parsley 4 tablespoons milk 2 tablespoons broth Blend all ingredients except pork chops and place in a shallow dish. Top with pork chops, cover and bake 45 minutes in a moderate (350-de gree) oven. Remove the cover and bake 30 minutes longer at 375 de grees. String beans, one of our more common vegetables, take on added appeal when they are prepared with a sauce that accents their delicate flavor. Here’s how it’s done: String Beans. (Serves 6 to 8) 2 pounds string beans Salt and pepper Cook slowly in a covered pan with a small amount of water. Dust with salt and pepper. For Sauce: 3 tablespoons oil 1 tablespoon butter 1 medium-sized onion 1 clove of garlic 2 tomatoes, fresh or canned 1 tablespoon minced celery 1 tablespoon minced parsley 1 teaspoon mixed herb vinegar 14 teaspoon rosemary 14 teaspoon sugar Salt and pepper to taste Heat oil and butter, simmer the minced garlic, onion, celery for 5 minutes. Add cut up, peeled toma to, rosemary, seasonings and vine- Lynn Says: Save fuel by using your range properly: Keep a pilot burner clean. When a quart of water is enough, don’t heat a gallon. Turn the gas or electricity off before instead of after removing the utensil from the range. For top-of-the-stove cooking, use a pan with straight sides as it heats more efficiently. Cook several foods at the same time when using the oven. A casserole, vegetable and pudding may all be baked at one time. Duplicate or triplicate pans, made to fit together over one burner, are excellent to use for cooking and saving fuel. To prevent failures while bak ing, and also to save fuel, use the oven regulator and refrain from peeking into the oven.

Simmer 10 minutes. Pour over beans and serve. Shrimp and rice were made famous by a song, but they are popu lar by their own right—flavor.

(Serves 6) 3 strips bacon 2 medium-sized onions, sliced 1 green pepper, cut in rings 14 cup diced celery 3 cups canned tomatoes 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup cooked green peas 2 small cans shrimp 1 teaspoon chili powder 3 cups hot boiled rice Cut bacon in V* inch pieces.

Add the shrimp and cook cov ered 5 to 10 minutes longer.
