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.

Wool Jersey Hoods
To Keep You Cozy
Gay little flatterers are the
charming hoods of wool jersey that
are seen everywhere these wintry
days. 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.
Simplicity Is Keynote of
1946 Graduation Dresses
Graduation dresses for the most
part are very simple this season.
White jersey, crepe and sheer white
wools are leading fabrics. Twc
pretty dresses for mid-winter grad
uates include a short dress of win
ter-white rayon jersey. It has a low
round neck and is styled with a
wide corselet effect which accents
the little waist. This style is alsc
pretty in white wool jersey. Tht
other dress is for the older gradu
ate and is a bit more sophisticated
This model has a full Hoor-lengtl
skirt of stiffened net with a perfect
ly plain fitted bodice top with cap
sleeves done in white satin.
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!

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.

Shrimp and rice were made
famous by a song, but they are popu
lar by their own
right—flavor. To
bring out the fla
vor in shrimp
and make it a
real taste thrill,
bacon or ham is
often added to it,
as in the follow
ing two recipes:
Shrimp Creole.
(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. Put
in a frying pan with sliced onions
and cook until bacon is crisp and
the onion is slightly yellow. Add
pepper rings, diced celery, tomatoes
and salt. Cook until celery and pep
per are tender and sauce is thick
ened. Add peas, shrimp and chili
powder and cook 5 minutes more.
Mold rice in ring and surround with
sauce.
Shrimp Jambalaya.
(Serves 6)
2 tablespoons bacon fat
M pound smoked ham, cubed
1 medium-sized onion, chopped
14 teaspoon finely minced garlic
2 cups cooked tomatoes
114 cups water
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
14 teaspoon paprika
Dash of cayenne pepper
14 teaspoon salt
14 cup uncooked rice
1 small can shrimp
Melt bacon fat in heavy skillet,
add cubed ham, onion, green pep
per and garlic. Saute for 10 min
utes. Add cooked tomatoes, water
and seasonings; bring to a boil. Add
rice slowly, cover tightly and cook
until the liquid is absorbed and
the rice almost done, about 20 min
utes. Add the shrimp and cook cov
ered 5 to 10 minutes longer.
Salads are popular during the cool
weather because
they satisfy our
need for “green
things.” Make
them colorful and
well seasoned
and the family
will reward you by asking for big
helpings of vitamins.
Beet and Lettuce Salad.
(Serves 6)
4 green onions, sliced fine
2 cups cooked beets, chopped
6 tablespoons salad oil
1 head lettuce
4 tablespoons vinegar
1 uncooked egg yolk
Vi teaspoon salt
V4 teaspoon dry mustard
V4 teaspoon sugar
Beat egg yolk with a fork, add
onions, salt, mustard and oil. Just
before serving add vinegar. Chop
lettuce to medium sized chunks and
place in a large bowl. Add chopped
beets. Pour dressing over this.
•Carrot-Lemon Salad.
(Serves 5)
3 large carrots, grated
1 lemon, ground with skin
V4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon salad oil
Blend all ingredients together
with a fork. Serve on crisp lettuc«
leaf.
