Surprise Element Aids JL in Making Packed Lunch Appetizing for Children BY DOROTHY ALOEN TO the uninitiated, it is surprising to leacn how many homemakers have a daily lunch to pack for some membei of the family. Undoubtedly. many of my readers have this to do, and I can sympathize with them, for I know that it becomes a real problem to make the lur.f hcs appetizing and’ variable from day to day. I'll do more than sympathize. I’ll ofler some suggestions that I hope will prove helpful. Whether the lunch packed is for a child or an adult, the element of surprise in it always is a feature worth striving for. That is one of the important things to remember. Some little tid-bit, if it be nothing more ihar. a piece of home-made randy, a few nuts, or raisins, is sure to make -en r binary lunch seem like more than it really is. variations of the usual cold meat or jelly sandwiches are the following combinations for fillings: Raisins and nuts chopped fine, and moistened with fruit juice. Dates ground and rubbed to a paste with orange juice or honey. Shredded pineapple with cream or cottage cheese.

Dried ground fruits and cottage cheese. Raw carrots and salted peanuts ground together, mixed with dressing and sandwiched with a lettuce leaf. Sliced tomato, grated cheese, between lettuce leaves and topped with dressing. Sliced egg and water cress with a small amount of dressing. Equal parrs of honey and peanut butter mixed together. Any of the commercial cheeses spread with lettuce or endive leaves. Sandwiches Should Be Varied The sandwiches may be further varied by using whole wheat and rye breads. “Three deckers” madee by putting a slice of white bread between two thin slices of whole wheat, offers a change. Fancy cookie cutters adapt themselves weli to sandwich shaping, and aie sure to delight the younger Pinchers, especially. Several crispy lettuce leaves, a

Bathroom Beauty Is Big Factor Many speculatively built houses are sold on the beauty of their bathrooms. Avery ordinary house may have an excellently designed bath which will decide the sale for the builder. i A bathroom in good taste was de- ! signed by the American Home, and i shown in the March number of this ! magazine. The floor is all black j tile, while the walls are two-thirds covered with peach colored tiles, finI ishea at the top with a curved molding of black. The walls above the tiles are fin ished with an enamel paint in a ; warm color, with the ceiling a few shades lighter in tone. The tiles themselves have a mat finish, so they are not too glaring. Window curtains and shower sheet carry out the ensemble effect so popular in modern housekeeping. They are made of soft rubberized rayon and have a background of light green with a daintily flowered chintz pattern on it. The ensemble idea is carried out also in a matching set of Turkish bath tow’els, face towels, bath mat and wash cloths, which are pale jade green to form a sparkling contrast to the peach ar.d black of the room. The bathroom glassware, including soap dishes, tumblers, bottles, etc., is in pastel shades of green and rose. Scales for Hollywood dieters and others are there too. The room itself is practically square, and this scheme of decoration might be employed in any attractively furnished house. Clocks Are Handy Alarm clocks can be used for more than one purpose. If someone in the family is taking medicine at intervals’, set the alarm as a reminder. If you are doing some special baking, time it by setting the alarm. If you wish to be reminded of anything at a certain hour, let the alarm clock do it. Starch Makes Polish For cleaning and polishing jewelry, uncooked starch in a thin paste makes a good polish. Apply with soft, clean cloth. Allow to dry, then polish to a brilliant luster with a clean, dry cloth. Good Use for Bar A small towel bar fastened inside the closet door is very handy to use to hang stockings over when j they are removed. Place a narrow j strip of adehsive tape over the bar I and the hose will never slip to the floor. Greased Cup Helps If a cup is greased before measuring molasses in it, the molasses will ay pour out.
