- —
N
SOME PEOPLE go into hibernation for two or three days the week
“before Christmas and make batches and batches of cookies. Then they pack and mail boxes of them—and there is their Christmas gift list gone.
- Maybe you won’t want to send cookies to all your friends—but at least
youll want to have a supply on hand in the family cookie jar for hotiday
. parties and raids on the pantry.
Here are some recipes for Christmas cookies that could be kept in your ‘permanent kitchen files, since they would make perfect bridge ‘cookies later on in the spring. For the holiday season, you should stock up on. a supply of cookie cutters sha e Christinas trees, stars and animal figures.

The Question Box
‘Q—What is “mocha” coffee? A—The true mocha was prodyced in the Yemen district of Arabia, but no coffee is produced there now, and the coffee that is sold under the mocha trade name is grown in Brazil and shipped to Aden in Arabia and reshipped to other parts of the world. This particular coffee berry resembles the old Arabian mocha in form and flavor. Q—How can milk be scalded without burning? : A—Scald it in a double boiler, Q—Please give me, directions for washing corduroy oy velveteen. . A—Wet the whole garment in lukewarm, mild soapsuds, and then lay it on a flat surface and scrub it gently with a soft brush. Rinse it well in several changes of lukewarm water and roll it in towels to remove the® excess moisture. Shake it out immediately and hang it on a/ padded hanger to dry, brushing frequently during the drying process.
Appliqued Monograms
A COLLECTION of impressive bed linens is within easy budget range if you do your own sewing. Profes-sional-looking monograms are easy to applique on sheets and cases with the zigzagger attachment to your sewing machine. Pick out the size and type letters you would like to use from a newspaper or magazine. Cut them out and from them make as many hard paper patterns as you need. Choose a fast color, pre-shrunk, washable material. Small letter sets are best for pillow case hems. Center the monogram one inch in from the open end. Turn all edges under one-quarter inch, snip corners where fabric is bulky. Use the zigzagger attachment to stitch and attach the monograms. Select large monograms for sheets. Center them on the deep hem side and sew iir the same way or, newer still, place the monogram "in the corner to be turned back.
Quilted Ensemble for Boudoir
THE NEWEST RECIPE for boudoir glamour is to have your housecoat and dressing table skirt made of the same luxuriously quilted material. And you can h it quite inexpensively, too. Cotton-backed satin is a good choice for this purpose. Underneath each piece of cotton satin, or whatever material you select, place a piece of thin cotton padding cut in the same size. Then use the quilter attachment on your sewing ‘machine to stitch through Use a simple dia-mond-shaped motif or, if you like, a more elaborate scroll design. You
touch and if you want to carry the idéa still further, bedspread and draperies could be treated in the same way.
Slenderizing Glove
ONE of the smartest of the new fall gloves is of supple glace leather, has a neat “bootstrap” at the cuffline with which to pull it on, and a panel in a contrasting color down the side. The glove’s clever styling gives a long, slender line to the
hand, yet it iy vastly, comfortable and easy to wear. {

WHEN LOCAL WOMEN head for the Southwest vacationlands this winter they will be dressed to fit
right into the atmosphere. Clothes for resort wear are copied from the costumes of the cowboys and Indians. Block’s is calling their collection “Frontier Fashions” and will present it to the public at 2:30 p. m. Thursday in the store auditorium. The clothes to be shown reflect further the efforts of the American designers this year to draw \inspiration for costumes from the Amer= icas. Even the colors have been copied from the West: adobe white, Yoseinite green, prairie brown, buckskin beige, buffalo red} redwood, campfire red, western saddle, crater blue and paint brush red. The Indian’s moccasin has been copied for its, comfort. Block's is calling one version moccarounds. They are made of Palomino pony skin with a tongue-like front in black and white skin. Palomino is used for a wedge sole shoe with a wide strap and trimmed in moccasin fringe. Lariat lacing is used to make another play shoe. ! Hunting shirt fringe is used on leather bags and even the Indian’s scalp hasn't been spared for the jewelry for resort wear uses the Indian head as its motif. From the cowboy, the designers have copied those huge sombreros. One is the large Mexican type in a yellow shade called Yellowstone. There is a bright green fringed scarf attached for draping around uhder the chin. Many of the costumes are accented by belts, studded just like those of the. Western riders. The cowboy hasn't even been spared the individuality of his handkerchief for those worn by the vacationing women are replicas.
THE SMART VACATIONER will probably arrive ‘at Palm Springs, Cal., in Arizona, in New Mexico or at the Florida resorts in a tailored suit of lightweight fabric. Block’s is calling one of these fabrics “gabershine.” It has the outward appearance of the heavy gabardines but is extremely lightweight and has a satin “back” that is kind to the skin. For around $30, a suit with the cardigan type jacket
