‘Light Touch’ In

Dressing Easier With New Mode

Br GERTRUDE BAILEY Time: Special Writer NEW YORK, April 5. — This is the spring to cultivate the “light touch” in dressing. Foam of Irish crochet and starched white lace. the latter outlining the bolero of Schiaparelll’s black day suit and brimming the black sailor hat worn with it. Hats — stiff sailors, schoolgirl Bretons—done up in clouds of veiling and sweetened with old-fashioned flowers. Cherubic prints. Other print pleasantries seen in white bubbles on navy, in Chamberlain's top-hat repeat on a blouse, in extravagant wistaria blossoms on a black and white marganza evening gown by Alix. Flower Colors in Bags

Flower colors in bags. White cloves. Lapel clusters of apples and apple blossoms or peaches and peach blossoms. Mainbocher’s Junch-basket bag and his famous ~Chamberiain” umbrella. Evening fans of pink lilacs or red taffeta carnations with blue taffeta leaves.

Jewelry garnishes, especially Cha-|

nel’s dripping-gold bib necklaces, Maggy Rouff’s porcelain flowers and

pird clips and Schiaparelil’s multi- “i

color beads. Even if your worries add un to nothing more than “What will I wear this season?” a spring collecton tells vou to stop worrying and get into Chanel’s gypsy dress of coarse white net with green tatfeta ruffles and pile on enough necklaces to shame anv gypsy.

| Only yesterday the popular idea of a Supreme Court wife was a grandmotherly woman, presiding over a tea table with scarcely less dignity ‘than her husband was showing on the bench—a woman sheltered from ‘he world except when emerging for |occasional state dinners.

Variety in Vegetables Is Possible

List From Market News Service Carries Ideas For Housewives.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, April 35 (U. P.).—Housewives irked by the monotony of the same vegetables day after day might like a tip from the state Department of Agriculture

so they could try some of the lesser known truck varieties. Here are a few varieties taken at random from the shipment summary of the Federal-State market news service: Dikon—A long Japanese radish, sometimes called Tai Kon. The Chinese variety, lau buck, is sweet. There is also a type which resembles a huge beet. Taro—A tropical root crop from which is prepared a potent O:iental potion. Some folks call it elephant ears. It is a favorite of the Japanese. Anise or Finochio — An annual plant, the bullz of which is relished both for salad use and as a cooked vegetable. Tho crisp stalks are eaten like celery and have a pronounced licorice flavor. It is also known as Italian fennel. Fava bean — Commonly known as “horse beans,” rich and full flavored. To use, shell like peas.

Napa Is Chinese Cabbage

Napa-—-Nothing more than Chinese cabbage. It is not a true cabbage but so-called because its flavor somewhat resembles it, being a cross between celery and cabbage. Forms upright heads after the fashion of celery. Does not give the objectionjable odor of cabbage while being cooked, and is excellent when used raw in salads. Calabasi—A member of the chicory family, highly esteemed by the Italians as a salad green. Said to minerals

i (contain many valuable

and vitamins, | Endive—Another branch of the | chicory family, relished for its crisp tenderness and for the sharp, slight{ly bitter flavor which serves to help revive sluggish appetites. | Boston Lettuce — Commonly known as “local lettuce.” Popular among the Italians by whom it is {considered superior to head type lettuce. It has a tender succulence {and delightfully fresh taste.

China Peas Are Fried

China Peas—This edible pod pea is of recent popularity but has long been an Oriental favorite. The

|fresh, sweet taste is agreeable to {the palate. “ It is prepared in same manner as string beans. t

[the strings. May be boiled as

with a fairly generous amount of {oil and cooked until crisp. Cardoon—Thickened ribs of large

jand frying. \ { Rapini—Young turnip plants, lused as a boiled green. Tender and {delicious, particularly good when ‘served with any menu in which {pork is the chief meat course. Radichetta — Young dandelion plants, popular among Italians as a salad ingredient. Also believed by many to have medicinal value. A favorite way to prepare this plant is to chop fine and mix with local lettuce in a bowl which has been rubbed well with garlic. Olive oil and vinegar dressing is added.

Romaine for Variety

Romaine — Frequently called celery lettuce because of its erect habit of growth. More delicious than head lettuce, but not widely known except by Latin peoples. Excellent variation from usual lettuce in salad. | Swiss chard—Member of the beet ‘family, only the tops of which are
