These Quick Meat Dishes Will Help Reduce Hot-Kitchen Duty

EVERY HOUSEWIFE welcomes quick meat dishes which save her time in the hot summer kitchen. With so many women now busy in war activities, main dishes which can be prepared quickly and inexpensively are especially needed.

it comes to making use of every scrap of fabric. “American homes are the only ones in the world that have not been dislocated by the war,” she says. “Your attics, your basements, your closet shelves are crowded with the stuff that ingenuity thrives on. Now is the time for you to have the courage of your own convictions. (Don’t rely on your neighbor. She will be jealous. And your husband will be afraid to tell you) You know very well what becomes you, what type of clothes suit your life. But you haven't yet discovered how many of them can be made out of old linen tablecloths, percale sheets, damask napkins, or by combining parts of several old dresses.” Cunning children’s clothes that never betray their beginnings as adult duds, are another of her enthusiasms,

Three Fundamentals

By GERTRUDE BAILEY Times Special Writer NEW YORK, June 9.—Patriotism may bring out the suppressed designer in every American woman. We already have been told by our government not to waste anything. Now it remains to be seen what

ingenuity we can summon to make something of the things on hand. Designing from scratch can turn Mme.

She uses them for gilets, jabots, collars, too, and likes to finish them with little bows. Soft necklines, she believes, are flattering to women, and young enough for debutantes. I asked Mme. Lyolene to pass on some suggestions that might inspire us to do something with: (1) the old black dress, (2) a jacket that looks out of date, (3) a neckline that needs changing, (4) odd bits of lace or ribbon or both, and (5) a remnant of print too pretty to throw away. She tackled the assignments, enlisted one of her graduate students, Dorothy McCarty, a fashion artist, to sketch out the ideas.

Those three faculties of judging proportion that she stresses in her classes are important here. She admits that the becoming skirt length for most women—mind you she doesn’t say all women—is just below the fattest part of the calf. “End your skirt at the downward curve of your legs if you want your legs to look slim and your general proportions pleasing.” For all but the extremely tal] girls this type of skirt comes within the recent government ruling, too. Usually the very tall girls do not have to worry about making their legs look slimmer, anyway, and if they do they can sacrifice some of the hem allowed.
