Receipts Can Be Changed, But Keep Proportions Same
LAFAYETTE — Recipes can be to suit individual likes and dislikes, but be sure to respect the proportions of products which have a definite texture or consistency. Miss Marcile Allen, extension foods and nutrition specialist at Purdue university, says cakes, pies, cookies, breads and desserts such as custards are included in this group. On the other hand, ingredient proportions need not be exact in soups, stews, salads and many casserole dishes One can frequently make a great difference in appearance or texture of a product by interchanging such preparation techniques as slicing, chopping, grating, dicing and shredding. Fitting family needs and likes is important in meal planning and preparation. For example, families are often interested in lowering the calorie contents of recipes. This may be done byselecting lean meat instead of fat meats, using skim milk instead of

whole milk, broiling meats instead of frying them, or by cutting down the amount of cream or fat in a casserole instead of following the exact recipe. Other ways include—using less sugar, or using dry skim milk or commercial low calorie topping instead of topping made with regular whipping cream Homemakers are in a position to modify caloric value of food served by finding new recipes or modifying old ones in line with family food likes.

Wigs And Hairpieces
LAFAYETTE — Thirty million hairpieces including falls, switches, chignons, wiglets and cascades — that’s the estimated number sold last year. Forbes magazine reports that 75 to 80 per cent of all women in larger cities and more affluent - suburbs own hairpieces. Men are following the trend too. And in 1970 it is estimated that hairpieces for men and women will amount to 700 million dollars in sales. According to Billie Ellsworth, extension clothing and textile specialist at Purdue university, most women wear hairpieces only occasionally. Milady wears a hairpiece to change color, fix* a quickie hairdo « when unexpected company arrives, to cover locks straightened by water and wind, and to attain styles never possible with her natural hair. Wiglets add height and revitalize drooping styles while switches, chignons, and falls give variety in style to short hair. And cascades make intricate dressy styles possible with short hair. A wig can either duplicate normal style and color or change it drastically. All hairpieces, except a wig intended as a color change, must match hair color exactly. This can be a problem with bleached or tinted hair that varies from week to week. Natural hair that varies from season to season can present the same type of problem. Some manufacturers charge more for light colors and red shades that are difficult to match. Sometimes a wig or hairpiece can be tinted if the color is not suitable or has faded. Check with an expert hairdresser to see if he can make the change. It will depend on the color and type of hair. For example, human hair can often be tinted darker, but
Hemlines-Mini Or Midi?
LAFAYETTE - In 1940 hemlines were as high as 15 inches from the floor and moved higher during World War 11. Then in 1947, Dior outmoded every dress which left more than the ankle showing. In the past 15 years, skirts have gone in one direction—up. And today’s hemlines are at their highest point in history, says Mrs. Jean Goodrick. extension clothing and textile specialist at Purdue university. A whole wardrobe of lengths is considered acceptable at the moment. Fashion conscious individuals, however, are most concerned about the possible effects of spring 1970 showings of longuette hemlines in Paris. These ranged from maxi to knee lengths. Some mini skirts and dresses still made the scene. Since the hem level is so unsettled, how should the consumer select new clothing? Considering that the level can hardly rise any farther, the only possibility for change seems to be downward. Fashion does demand change, so Mrs. Goodrick offers several
Silver Thimble Club Mother-Daughter Dinner-Party Saturday Members of the Silver "Humble club of the Milford Apostolic Christian church and their enjoyed the annual mothers and daughters dinner-party Saturday evening at a restaurant in Nappanee. The meeting was opened by all singing “Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow” followed by the introduction of the guests. A Swiss steak dinner was served at tables colorfully decorated with feather flowers made by the committee and given as favors to each one present. "Faith of Our Mothers” was sung by the group after which Miss Joyce Beer showed slides she had taken while spending time on Guadelupe Island in the French West Indies. Miss Beer spent
cannot be lightened. Cost of wigs and hairpieces vary, depending on hair type, construction, color, length, and amount of hair. A well made handtied wig will generally cost more than a machine made one. European hair is usually more expensive than Oriental and human hair is usually more than synthetic. Some synthetic hairpieces may look shiny and artificial, but this is becoming less common as improvements are made. Synthetic wigs can be permanently curled and colored. They are especially good for outdoor activities since water and sun do not damage them. Permanently curled synthetic wigs can be washed at home, but human hair wigs should receive professional attention. A special" type of wig — the stretch wig — is available in various quantities, yet relatively inexpensive. However, if snug hats are uncomfortable, a stretch wig is not a good choice, good choice. Buying a wig is a substantial investment, so buy only from a reputable wig salon or beauty shop. Never buy from a motel room or stationwagon “set-up” and never bargain over the phone. If in doubt, consult your local Chamber of Commerce. Restrict any by-mail ordering to large catalogue chains or others of'proven reputation. The key here is often a money back guarantee if not completely satisfied. Remember there is no such thing as a wig bargain, so compare prices and wigs before deciding. If you should read about a "good sale,” be sure the merchandise is regular stock marked down for a few days and not some brought in especially for the sale.
suggestions to help Madame Consumer ease her dilemma. 1. As in the case of fads, mini skirts of dresses purchased at this time should be inexpensive. If garments are completely outdated another season, the investment will not represent a great loss. 2. Abbreviated skirt lengths which show some possibilities for lengthening or use in a different way than originally intended may be good choices. A longer skirt or a pant. for example can be worn under a mini dress which becomes a tunic. Incidently, fashion experts warn against trying to achieve a midi-look by simply dropping a hem. Close scrutiny reveals that the new longuette designs are cut to specific style proportions. 3. Perhaps the safest course of action is a hem level which is most attractive on and com- j patible with the individual figure y Length proportions of the bodice and skirt as well as the length, size and shape of the legs should be considered. Some legs are at their best when revealed, others when they are concealed.
