“Homemaking— 4 Everybody's Hungry at Picnics and Something Hot Will Win Approval

Aad

WHETHER YOUR AUTUMN PICNIC is a last trip to your favorite summer picnicking haunt or a hurried lunch on your way to a football

game, something hot is in demand at this time of year for the outdoor

meal. If you can gather driftwood or pine cones for a campfire, it’s easy enough to heat up soup, make coffee, and concoct some such picnic

faverite as French toast. It’s easier still if you carry along one of the many small grills to hold skillet and pot. You can use them even where fuel isn’t available, for you can take your own charcoal or kindlings to build a merry fire by the ‘foadside. French toast, an autumn favorite with picnic makers, can be eaten with bacon or hamburgers for the mainstay of the meal, with honey or syrup for the dessert. You'll want lots of coffee to go with it, and it's a good idea to serve the decaffeinated brew, so that you can grant everyone's requests for extra cups without worrying over sleeping problems. Make it in a big pot or be ready to replenish a small one. You can carry along I and g for the French toast or you i beat up the eggs and milk at home and take the resulting mix with you in a jar. Use 1 heaping tablespoon ground decaffeinated coffee, regular grind, and 1 teaspoon of egg white or ‘beaten whole egg for each cup (2 pint) cold water. Combine coffee and egg in pot and mix thoroughly. Pour in water and bring slowly to a boil, stirring coffee down occasionally. Remove from fire immediately ‘and let stand in warm place 3 to 5 minutes. Pour % cup cold water into pot to settle. Strain from the -grounds through a fine wire strain.er, muslin, or cheesecloth. (Boiled - coffee may also be prepared without -the egg, but will not be as clear.)

FRENCH TOAST

1 egg, slightly beaten 12 cup milk 3% teaspoon salt 3 slices bread (3%-inch thick), cut in triangles Combine egg, milk and salt. Dip ‘slices of bread in mixture and fry in hot fat in skillet. Makes 6 tri‘angles, : 2

lard be stored?

A—Put the lard in reasonably small, air-tight containers (preferebly glass jars) and set them in a dark, cool place. Air and light are the chief causes of rancidity in lard, and for that reason small containers should be used.. :

Q—How can a chocolate stain be removed from a table cloth? : A—Cover the spot with borax and soak it in cold water. >

Q—Please give some suggestions about clothes designs for short, stout women.

A—A good neckline for this type is the V, as it makes the face look thinner and softer. Long sleeves or three-quarter length should be worn loose, bell shaped or slightly flared. Above all, avoid short puffed sleeves. Full-length coats are good, and if shorter ones are worn they should be fitted. A bolero jacket makes stout women appear taller and slimmer by giving greater length to the skirt and exposing perpendicular lines. Pleats and flares in skirts should be inserted at the: waist line and allowed to extend to the bottom of the hem. Stout women should wear subdued singletoned garments or small figured material, with a smooth finish.

M aking Quick Fire

A screen, properly constructed and placed, will help to get a fire going in your fireplace quickly and easily. You can make the screen

of fire-resistant fiber board. It should be large enough to cover the lower half of the fireplace, full width with a one-inch foot-long slot at the bottom along the hearth center. Lay the fire as usual, light and place the screen, The air, drawing through the opening, will act as a forced draft. Remove the screen when the blaze is well

stirring constantly. Add lemon

DEAR ‘JANE JORDAN—I I went with a man about one times when we were together.

some other girl. They only lived together a few months when they ’

got a divorce. Now he has come back and wan him. My parents and the rest of the family do ns ron ith fact, never did when I went with him before. Now they don't want me to go with him again. I would like to have your advice because I am undecided what to do, UNDECIDED GIRL. 8 =» EJ ‘8 ” »

- Answer—It may be pleasant enough to spend an evenin ith the man but it is obvious that he is no one to regard Ne A marriage which lasts only a few months is a reflection upon those who contract it. Their ability to adjust themselves. to another perSonality ks low and it is doubtful that g change of partners would p the Let us admit that the girl in the case may have been as much at fault as the man. That only shows us that his judgment is poor, A mature person ‘would have been able to foresee a disaster which followed so quickly upon the heels of marriage. Therefore, if noth-

ing else, we must assume that the man has infantile attitudes to- .

ward women which make him a poor prospect for any woman. I imagine that your family is right in its prejudice against the man. If your parents felt that your eyes were open and you could not be fooled by him they might have no objections to your spending an evening with him now and then, but this is not the case, You do not see him as he is and pass over his defects too lightly. They are afraid that you, too, might be tempted to marry him and instinctively they revolt. Perhaps you have felt an inner warning against him which you do not wish to heed but which has resulted An your indecision. If you were sure that the man was desirable wouldn't have written a letter about him, would you?

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I have been going steady with ab for five months. We split up twice but he as ni back. Lact night he told me he didn’t think we could get along; so we split up again. I love him and he said he thought a lot of me. He said I couldn’t stay in at night. It does get lonesome around the house and I go to the show. He hasn’t gone with many girls and I've never heard of his stepping out on me. Do you think that a girl of 17 or 18 is too young to go with a béy 21? If you were in my place would You stay in at nights to win him back? UNHAPP

® 8 = 2 8 8

Answer—No, I would not. It is both silly and childish for a bo to expect a girl to stay at home on the nights when he cannot be with her. If you want to go to the show that is your privilege and it is folly for you to enslave yourself in such a manner to any young man. Sometimes a girl of 17 or 18 gets along better with a boy of 21 than with boys her own age. ‘Sometimes the reverse is true. People differ so much in the development that your question cannot be answered for all cases. : JANE JORDAN.

TR & > Anne Bullitt graces her “ordina

By PATRICIA COFFIN Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.—The 1941-. 42 debutantes are spreading their caviar thin—almost as thin as the draft-drained stag-line, : 3 The new order among America’s moneyed aristocrats decrees that it

upon the social scene with all the orchidaceous restraint of a first night at the circus. ) It is more proper to percolate—

and far more economical, what with debuts not deductable from the new income tax. Nedenia Hutton, one of the wealthiest debutantes of the season, daughter of Edward F. Hufton and ex-ambassadress Mrs. Joseph E. Davies, will make her bow Dec. 20 at a tea in the New York town house of her mother. This simple home reception, barking back to old-fashioned times, is a far cry from the splash of champagne which blond Nedenia’s cousin, Barbara Hutton Haugwitz-Rev-entlow’s debut made at the RitsCarlton here a decade ago.

thousands of dollars on favors for her guests—but little Eugenie Tuck, of Tuxedo, N. Y. ex-step-daughter of the present Mrs. Angier Biddle Duke, will be presented, along with seven other debutantes, at the conservative, almost countrified Autumn Ball at Tuxedo Park Oct. 25. Even Anne Bullitt’s father, former Ambassador William C. Bullitt, accustomed to the pomp of the capitals of Europe, imposed unaccustomed censorship upon the news of his brown-haired daughter’s country debut last June. Although the party, at the Bullitt estate in Pennlyn, Pa., was lavish for these times, he played it down with the remark: “Just- an ordinary Philadelphia dance.” Gloria Vanderbilt upset the social apple-cart with a toss of her bombshelter pompadour when she announced from Hollywood: “I am not making a debut. My interests lie elsewhere.” Social secretaries, florists, caterers. photographers and dressmakers stoed in the smithereens of their last hopes that the more conserva-

would be able to persuade the glamorous heiress to come out in the properly expensive manner. They now are calling her a ‘“scabutante.”

PETITE and winsome Betty Cordon of North Carolina was recently eletted No. 1 Glamour Deb of the year despite her indifferent social standing. The polling took place in a night club, where contestants did not include such pre-eminent buds as millionaire publisher Marshall Field's daughter, Bettine; Nandine Szechenyi, daughter of the late Hungarian Minister to the United States, niece of Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt and sister of Viscountess Maidstone; or Antoinette Pinchot, half-sister of the late actress, Rosamund Pinchot. The debutantes, in this year of stress, are turning to problems more serious than parties. Nedenia Hutton is going to college instead of Palm Beach; Befty Cordon will spend her mornings not sleeping but learning how to teach kindergarten; Bettine Field is interested in society in the broader sense of the word, and all are working for war relief. Parties are impromptu, depending on when the boys can get leave from camp. : “Only prep-school boys to dance with,” complain the girls—and return to their knitting.

The shadow of gloom spreads over the countenance of Roddy Kitter of Wilmington, Del, as No. 1 glamorette Betty Cordon flashes her photogenic smile upon Hugh Hola of Greensboro, N. C. It’s a be-tween-dances piciure snapped during Betty's coming-out party at Raleigh, N. C.—a party which, incidentally, Betty shared with 145 other local debutantes as befits the economical trend of the socialite times, Betty spends winters in Manhattan, where cafe-society-men-sbout-town recently chose her as the nation’s top-ranking glamor girl.
