COLORFUL GIFTS FOR BRIDGE PRIZES SHOWN IN SHOPS
Gadgets of Every Kind on Display BY JULIA BLANSHARD, NFA Service Writer NEW YORK, March 7. smart to have a sense of humor about bridge prizes this season and It is the fashion to give gifts in a colorful manner. For the outstanding style notes in two recent national gift shop shows stressed the vogue for animals in all their varied interpretations and the use of color in new glassware, ceramics, lamp shades, dishes, pottery, pillows and other articles Is both arresting and charming. Where once it was difficult to find anything suitable for a bridge prize for Lucy’s birthday present, the modern department store solves the problem for you by housing in a given shop a tremendous variety of gifts for your selection. One thing is certain, gazing upon the spring collection of these. The era of a renaissance of old-fash-ioned what-nots must be just around the corner. For there are gadgets for this and that and gadgets for nothing at all but amusement. Animals Galore on Sale Among the animal articles, small porcelain, glass, bronze, silver and Ivory animals range from thumbnail size to big animals. Dogs are the prime favorites, elephants next, with mice, giraffes, rats, donkeys and lions, and tiger* enough to make a miniature zoo. Many function as standards for lamps, stands for smoking equipment, as pitchers, mugs, sofa pillows, embroidery on linens and even for silver designs. 7 he huntsman lamp, with a horse for a base and thp shade repeating the horse with rider, would delight anybody who rode. Quite intriguing for the schoolboy ge. ting away from animals, arc the •‘student," lamps. They are modern. In gay colors, and contemporary design. The lamp’s base is a student, standing on a book, w-ith an armload of books, and the shade has books colorfully outlined on its parchment background. Feminine Gifts Varied For women there are innumerable perfectly charming new gifts or prizes. To make a triangle out of the old waffle-set couple of syrup pitcher and batter jug. there now comes a cute sprinkling can of matching porcelain which carries powdered sugar. Cookie jars suggest that new fashions now permit one to nibble on v thin, home-made water without orry. Lemon squeezers in the shape of colorful clowns, with one arm the spout, the other the handle, make one smile but covet them. Tea sets, chocolate sets, breakfast sets and after dinner coffee sets are in elegant array, ranging from colorful peasant pottery from abroad, to the new colored crystal. Flower pots are extremely original. Perhapn the clear crystal balls that hang from a chicken or catshaped holder, to carry either ivy or cut flowers, arc the newest. Single bulb pots are a nice gift, coming as they do in geometric shapes, most modern in color and design. For the smoker, man or woman, there is infinite variety of choice articles, some of them using bronze, aluminum, silver, hammered brass and other metals to create impressively handsome gifts. Desk sets now include cute parchment desk waste paper baskets, many of them with old-fashioned Godey's Ladies' bock prints on them. Elegant Gifts for Table For the table there are elegant gifts. Perhaps one of the shiny new artificial flower centerpieces, done in ceilophone. some gleaming black balls with silver ferns and flowers, others with clear crystal base and such delicate flowers as a spray of apple blossoms worked out in gleaming pink, white and green. Linens there are galore, pale pink sets numbering among the newest. Modern pewter for tire table has some charming new mugs, plates, goblets, an imposing array of extra service spoons and forks, extra dishes like cheese plates, pie plates, cookie trays and condiment dishes. New silver, especially tiie imported silver, features long handles and very short prongs on the fork and blades on the forks, most modern in design. There are charming decanter sets, with a tricky new one from Paris eaJled the "before and after" bottles, with the latter blown to look quite wilted and slumping. These are the new lavenders, soft greens, ruby reds and blues. Such an array perhaps may make more difficult the actual decision of the purchaser. There are so many charming things to choose from. It is to be a spring, in fact, when it is more blessed to receive than to give.

It is one thing to tell the truth, at a time of a crisis, when it might ! be easier to lie and save your skin, i but quite another to tell the truth I when there is no particular issue j involved, and when your victim is j ! trying to keep herself from know- j | ing the worst. What virtue is there in coming | out with a truth like this: “My dear, j I think you must have gained ten | pounds?” To be sure, it will neutralize that j person's pleasure in her next good square meal, and make her wish she had not eaten it. after she has—but ■ what of that? Or what sort of a greeting is this? ■. . . “What a shame your pretty blue dress stretched so in cleaning— I thought it was the best looking thing you had” A further observation that all cleaners should be shot is a general, rather than an individual, | solution of the problem, and does not help you.

Family Menu
BY SISTER MARY NEA Service Writer _ Toasted sandwiches are In the culinary limelight just now and are not difficult to make. They are so versatile that they can fill almost any part and often will prove a boon to the unprepared hostess. The club sandwich long has been popular, and while it is made with toast, it is not properly a "toasted'’ sandwich. Another three-decker sandwich made with toast is the luncheonette sandwich which furnishes a meat course, a salad and a sweet. These are quite novel and are attractive for afternoon bridge refreshments served with coffee. Good Combinations Possible Clever food combinations can bo worked out—for in?*ance, cold sliced leg of lamb dipped in mint jelly, fine-chopped celery and carrot with Russian dressing, grated cocoanut and shredded almonds in orange bavarian. Leftovers can be used tip attractively in toasted sandwiches. Each sandwich might be made of different combinations utilizing very small amounts of foods. The technique of the toasted sandwich is simple but rigorous. The outside must be crispy and hot and the inside soft and cool. This necessitates intense heat to brown the bread without affecting the filling. If a broiler is used, heat the broiler chamber before beginning to toast the sandwiches. Place Close, to Flame Place the closed sandwiches on the rack, close to the flame, and toast quickly to a golden brown, first on one side and., then on the other Occasionally, the filling is wanted hot. too. as in the cast of toasted cheese sandwiches. Avery hot oven or a lowered broiler flame accomplishes this satisfactorily. Toasted rye bread and sardine
Honey Sandwich Filling One package cream cheese, 1 tablespoon softened butter, 2 tablespoons strained honey, 1 large tart appple. few drops of lemon juice, few grains of cinnamon. Work chees and butter together until smooth and creamy. Stir in honey, lemon juice and cinnamon. Add apple pared and cut in very thin slices. Use to fill sandwiches.
sandwiches will appeal to persons fond of fish. Or chopped raw oysters seasoned with salt, pepper, lemon juice and a few drops of tabasco sauce may be liked. The combinations are numerous, since almost any filling liked in untoasted bread can be used for toasting. Sandwiches Made on Grill Fried sandwiches are related to the toasted sandwich. They can be made in the chafing dish or electric grill and provide a substantial snack for night. Prepared in advance, they are astened together with toothpicks and dipped in a thin batter of egg and milk and browned quickly in butter or browned in bu'ter without dipping in the batter. The same rule for buttering applies to all sandwiches, hot or otherwise. Always butter the side of the iread next to the filling. Sweet toasted sandwiches are delicious with tea. A particularly jood filling that is quite unusual is made with cream cheese, strained honey and apple. One side of the sandwich may be of thinly sliced and buttered white bread and the other qf whole wheat bread. Alarm Clocks The kitchpn alarm clock can be a little helper in the home. Set it for starting meals, for taking medicine. for taking in the laundry, going to market and other things you need to do at a certain time of day.

There’s practically the allure of veiled eyes in the new brimmed hats of straw lace which are half-revealing, half-concealing. This Florence Walton model is made of horsehair braid, in gleaming brown and the sheen of the wearer's heir adds its luster to the general effect. The rather high crown is trimmed with a novel little rouleau of beige feathers and the picture brim falls gracefully in deep-all-around length.
