These Wheat Foods Versatile

Did you ever stop to think how versatile spaghetti, macaroni and noodles are? They combine well with just about any food and can be served in every course, These wheat foods are appealing with meats, fish and poultry and with cheese and eggs. The macaroni family makes fruit and vegetable dishes more hearty and satisfying. They are natural companions with milk or cream sauce, especially good treated to a big dab of butter and trimmed with bread crumbs. And that is only half of the story! Durum wheat foods are prize ingredients in many soups, in salads, in a main dish or as an important ingredient in some desserts. So, if you are looking for new ideas in cooking, you will need packages of each of these durum products on your shelf always. You will find a lot of good reasons for using them.

PANDORA HOBBY SHOP—Young North Side mothers pool their hobby talents for a gift shop in the breezeway of the home of Mrs. Lloyd Wright, 1811 E. 65th St. Arranging Christmas displays

Housewives Run Hobby Shop, Make Own Merchandise

By BETTY LOCHER

HOUSEWIVES get bored, iinghen. Keening haonge

and taking care of children, no matter how “angelic,”

can become a tiresome task. But it does not daunt a group of young North Side mothers — they're doing something about it. Not only that, their husbands are enthusiastic helpers in the .project. They've opened a small but exclusive gift shop called the “Pandora Hobby Shop,” at 1811 E. 65th St. Their “buying” and “merchandising” problems are few, because all gifts are made by members of the group as a hobby. Their only real problem is keeping books—but with that many heads put together—27 in all—they manage to achieve a reasonable facsimile of a balance each month, over innumerable cups of coffee.

A BULLETIN BOARD at one end of the shop serves as a free advertising media for the community. Items for sale or swap, lost or found, notices of meetings and special recipes make it of interest to shoppers. The shop is located in the home of Mrs. Lloyd Wright whose husband is serving the United States Army in Korea. The breezeway, which is enclosed, houses the gifts. The fact that it is far from a business district is considered an advantage by these young women. They attract, as customers, other young housewives who cannot take the time to go into town and battle Christmas crowds with Johnny on one arm and Judy on the other.

THE HUSBANDS are given credit for turning carpenters and making the breezeway into a shop. Several also contribute their handiwork. Varjo Anderson makes clever hobby horses and knick-knack shelves. William Klein, children’s photographer, makes appointments for special poses. George Kristufek has contributed some of his clever miniature wooden carts to be filled with flowers for centerpieces. Other unusual gift items made by the women are exotic hand painted scarves and neckfies, handmade sterling and copper , Jewelry, shell jewelry, plaques (made to order) of children’s

A SMALL CHILD may bring in her favorite doll with scraps of material and have a dress made to match her own. These understanding mothers have a special section devoted to small gifts that may be selected by very young shoppers for a very tiny price. : Among the most unusual of the gifts are “Gracealice Originals” which are scenic shadow boxes with miniature pottery

figurines. A collection of figurines may be purchased so that the scene in thé box can be changed to suit the fancy.

By AGNES H. OSTROM TWO Winter Club mem- ."~ bers have ‘designs’ on. the forthcoming United

States Olympic Figure Skating Team competition here.

Artistry on ice or paper is but a short step for this designing duo—Mrs. Virginia Holmes and Paul VanVoorhees. Current handcraft of the skaters is the official poster and program for the spectacular two-day event Dec. 21 and 22 in the Coliseum. Both designs, In the red, white and blue scheme, feature figure skaters as well as the official shield of U. 8. Olympic Teams. " " VIRGINIA, AN‘ Ayres’ advertising department artist, used Paul as model for the spiral—or arabesque — figures of her lady in red and man in white on the light blue poster. Process for the design and printing she learned in World War II when she served in the Marine Corps visual training aid section. The poster will blanket the city and be sent for display to other U. 8. Figure Skating Association member clubs throughout the country. Center of interest on Paul's program is an abstract figure of a skater in blue on a darker blue background.
