The maJority of women 50 and older have high blood pressure, while most men Zl do not develop it until past 60.

Type of Salad Determines

The Dressing

Mayonnaise Is Best

By META GIVEN NO FIXED law exists about the kind of dressing to use ‘on any particular salad. - But certain dressings are more appropriate for certain salads than others. Thin fluid dressing such as French or Sour Cream are desirable on green vegetables or fruit intended to accompany the main course. Salads comprised principally of fruit call for dressing that contains no garlic and little or no onion, Mayonnaise is best on salads

luncheon or supper—such as sal-

dessert salad containing considerable fruit, such as a frozen Waldor! salad. Foods that are especially rich in calories such as avocado demand a thin, light dressing to be most acceptable. One therefore has to give thought to the particular meal and the appropriateness of the salad and the dressing in order to make the best choice.

How to Organize | Work of Ironing |

A little organization makes for easier ironing. Arrange clothes in {basket in the order to be ironed— linens at the bottom, cotton articles next and rayons on the top. That way you'll be ironing from those requiring lowest temperatures tq those needing the hottest. Fold articles before they are completely dry to lessen the need for | dampening, and roll up neatly, but not too tightly, to avoid deep wrinkles that would require long | smoothing. Place clothes basket on! a low table near the ironing board. Constant stooping and walking back | and forth across the kitchen or laundry make for unnecessary fatigue.

Teen Wardrobe Triumphs

AM-i8

By SUE BURNETT The teen-age seamstress who wants to whip up her own wardrobe triumphs will find these two outfits “right dowrr her alley.” A “must-have” in the junior wardrobe is the neat, full-skirted Jumper (pattern 8230) which takes to the campus “rush” with the greatest of ease. Note the button trim and the low-cut bodice that shows off a demure blouse with long or short sleeves. A ready-to-go-anywhere teen-age charmer (pattern 8202) makes

the most of a lovely young figure. A boldly striped fabric gives clever *

contrast to one shoulder and the roomy pocket. It's finished with large buttons front and back.

Both patterns come in sizes 11, 12, 13, 14, 16 and 18. Pattern 8230,
