rich with mingled ‘cream and eggs and Sherry wine, spicily dusted with nutmeg. It should be served in a large silver or earthern bowl— cupfuls of the snowy drink ladled from its generous depths into small cups. It should be served for itself alone, or with simple holiday cakes. Since the wines of California are modest in price, even a great bowlful of this delectable drink may be served with little damage to the ‘holiday budget. Such a drink may be prepared well In advance of a party. Chilling in the refrigerator for about three hours before service enhances the flavor. After the chilling, Sherry Eggnog will be very ‘thick. This recipe serves 10: 10 egg yolks (beaten until thick), 3% cup sugar, 1 quart whipping cream (whipped), and 1 bottle California Sherry Wine. Add sugar to beaten egg yolks gradually whipping until light after each addition. Add Sherry to egg mixture slowly, beating well all the while. Finally add stifly whipped cream. Pour into tray of mechanical refrigerator and chill for three hours. Serve topped with a dash of nutmeg.

establishment during the years following her escape from Russia, the Grand Duchess has been a fashion consultant and, lately, a designer in her own right. ‘The older customer —she who can afford to buy eriginal designs — will have to be willing to risk being the first to wear an entirely new silhouette or a new color or -an exotic piece of jewelry. She will have to get over the idea of waiting until a fashion has been accepted generally before buying it for herself,” Grand Duchess Marie explains. : ” : ® 8 = “IF NEW YORK is to retain the title—fashion -center of the werld— American women, as well as American designers and their manufacturers, must dare to be daring. “This doesn’t .mean that, simply to help designers, a: customer must buy unbecoming clothes. Far from it. It means only that she must be willing to accept new lines
and new fashion themes, providing they are flattering.” For any mature woman, whether she intends to be a fashion leader or not, the Grand Duchess Marie gives pertinent style advice. “Your clothes should fit easily— not snugly. -Any dress that looks .or feels short-waisted is no bargain, regardless of its price. “Long-sleeved evening dresses usu=ally are more becoming to the mature than bare-armed decollete ones. “It's a mistake to load yourself down with jewelry, even really precious jewelry. “A sports coat ought never to be fitted. It should be loose and boxy, and preferably a size larger than you wear in fitted town coats. It ought to be the kind of thing you can put over your knees or around your neck in a car or sit on at a picnic. Every wardrobe needs one.” Among other items the Grand Duchess Marie thinks should be included. in" every mature woman's wardrobe are simple, basic dresses of excellent quality which can ‘be varied with different accessories. She likes two suits—traditional two-plece ones for slender figures, dress-and-jacket or dress-and-long-coat varieties for the not-so-slender. 2 =» 8 ‘ i SHE ADVISES buying a furtrimmed, cloth coat one fall,: and an untrimmed one the next. She feels that only the short-haired, flat furs are suitable for fur coats for large figures. The attractive fashion authority considers sticking to one basic color scheme the only safe and: sound course. But she does not think that the basic color need always be black or brown.
