Today’s ‘Pattern
Not only at teatime but also when you're putting the finishing touches on a company dinner after getting all dressed to receive your guests or when you are hastily whipping up a Sunday night supper, you'll find it a great comfort to have this pretty apron set ready and waiting. And you can take your choice of the two pinafores or the crisp little tie-around. This design, Pattern 8335, is so quick and easy to make that you still can use it for Christmas gifts. Choose percale, batiste, lawn, dimity or organdy, in dainty, flowery patterns and colors. Patern 8335 is designed for sizes 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44 and 46. Size 36 requires, for both No. 1 and No. 2 apron, 1% yards of 36-inch material; 3 yards of ricrac to trim No. 1; 5% yards bias binding to trim No. 2. For apron No. 3, size 36 requires 1% yards of 35-inch material and 6 yards of bias binding. The new Fall and Winter Pattern Book, 32 pages of attractive designs for every size and every occasion, now is ready. Photographs show dresses made from these patterns being worn, a feature you will enjoy. Let the charming designs in this new book help you in your sewing. One pattern and the new Fall and Winter Pattern Book—25 cents. Pattern or book alone—15 cents. To obtain a pattern and step-by-step sewing instructions inclose 15 cents in coin together with the above pattern number and your size, your name and address and mail to Pattern Editor, The Indianapolis

well in advance, if the one or 10 servants, as the case may be, have had their instructions beforehand, if the table arrangements are checked, the flowers arranged, the
matches and cigarettes plentiful, and the fire ready to blaze in the hearth before she goes up to dress, my hostess can come down to her guests and enjoy herself. One is so much happier with a hostess who is having a good time. We come in and she greets us at the door of the room. Without gushing, she makes us sense that we are welcome and we feel more cheerful at once. We look about. Do we know everyone? Personally I hope not, as I like heterogeneous parties. Strangers are pastures new
‘land frequently delightful.
A party which costs very little can be as great a success as one earmarked by expense. Crowded cocktail parties which mop up all one’s obligations at once are less attractive than several small, more intimate afternoons. Let the buffet supper replace the former, champagne will be unnecessary, chianti, punch or beer can adequately fill its place. And at a “5 to 7” the hostess who serves tea behind her own hot water kettle will find her cocktail bar strangely deserted by young and old alike, and delighted guests will draw up their chairs to tell her what a relief real tea is. Good food is allsimportant. One new and original dish can sarn a greater reputation for the hostess than four or five stereotyped courses. Small tables for everyone at a buffet are unnecessary. A card table or two set for \the older guests is enough, the others can fend for themselves. Lack of silver or china need not matter at all. The nearest 10-cent store can supply them and paper napkins never kept a guest from enjoying himself. While we eat, our hostess moves about from group to group, keeping a watchful eye on the shy guest and the stranger, seating them near people with whom they will have something in common or are likely to find congenial. Everyone does not have to be formally introduced. It goes without saying that the guest 'who has particular entertainment value in the way of musical talent should not be expected to display it unless he volunteers or agrees willingly at a discreet but eager hint from his hostess. Even very good friends should not be urged. If théy do play, the hos must see to it that there are no in terruptions from servants, tel phones or arriving guests. The hostess who maintains her sense of humor when her party is going badly is also most endearing. No one can always make a success of entertaining. Complete failures are in order the world over, and the friend who says to you afterward with a laugh, “Wasn't that a ghastly dinner at my house last night?” removes any feeling of discomfort for her or yourself you may have had. Perhaps that is it, after all, One’s guests must feel comfortable in mind as well as body... T wish I might make them so as easily as I can set down rules for doing it.

How to Cook
Meats Dry And Moist
To Cover or Not to Cover Roasting Pans Is Problem
4
By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX Even roasting pans have their
| |problems these days. When should
they be covered and when not?
It depends upon the cut and to a certain extent upon the kind of meat to be cooked. One must turn to the fundamental principles of meat cookery, namely, whether moist or
ods of cooking by dry heat are: Roasting, broiling and pan-broiling. And the methods of cooking by moist heat are: braising, stewing and simmering. = In all methods of cooking meat by moist heat, the utensil is covered. Liquid always is added in stewing and simmering and may or may not be added in braising. ‘Although liquid may not be added
lin braising, moisture is present due
to the fact that steam escaping from the meat surrounds the meat in a covered container.
Dry Heat Roasts
Since roasting’ and pan-broiling are methods of cooking by dry heat, it is obvious that the pan never should be covered when using either of these two methods. “Covered roaster,” therefore, is a misnomer, because a roast cannot be covered and remain a roast. A roast which is so cooked becomes a pot-roast. The covered roaster is an excellent utensil to use in the preparation of
‘loven meals. A pot-roast, short ribs
of beef, a Swiss steak or other braised meat dishes may be cooked in the oven as well as on top of the range, and any braised meat dish makes an excellent center for the oven meal.
Palatability Important
What effect does covering a roast have on shrinkage? Experiments carried on at the University of Missouri showed that cooking losses for braised cuts were 10 to 20 per cent greater than for cuts cooked by true roasting. In cuts which were roasted the percentage of evaporation loss was greater than the percentage of drippings. The opposite was the case in cuts cooked by braisirg. The “eating quality” of cooked meat is judged by the palatability factors of aroma, flavor of fat and lean, tenderness and juiciness. In the studies, it was found that the method of cooking appeared to have no effect on aroma or flavor of fat and lean.

and Christmas tree green are great often are combined with a touch of
number of wrapping papers that express the old-time spirit of Yuletide in designs unmistakably up-to-date. Outstanding in the all-important blue is one in a muted, almost delft shade which serves as a background for a design of gold bells interspersed with the word “greetings” in gold script. Another new paper of Parisian inspiration combines blue with soft rose, gold and white! A heavy, shiny-surfaced wine paper cries for plain, but wide and handsome white satin ribbon. Among the wrappings for de luxe gifts there are a number of striking metallic effects, in solid silver and gold and in figured papers. One of this type uses gold as a background for green and white Christmas trees and gold stars circled in white. Seals and stickers range from amusing bears and kittens, elephants and showmen to lovely repousse plaques of gold or silver which give new dignity to the packages they adorn. Christmas trees of gold ,or silver are very popular. Name tags and inclosure cards achieve greater distinction this year. Many booklets have all the formality of regular Chritsmas cards and appear in beautiful Florentine designs or photographic reproductions of out-of-door scenes. For money gifts there are special inclosure cards with designs keyed to a lighter vein than formerly.
