Of course, the perfect housewife will always restock before any ingredient is out, so that she never fails to have just what she wants when she wants it. Un- fortunately, there are few perfect housewives, and therefore emergencies must be allowed for. Then good man- agement takes the helm of efficlency. Flavors and Colors. Pistachio flavoring can be simulated by mixing a little almond with vanlla. Be sure to remember to tint pistachio- flavored dishes with green. So curi- ously does the sight affect the taste of food that the green tint that is asso- ciated with pistachio (because of the color of the nut. violet) actually ac- cents the desired flavor. Do not forget this hint when flavor- ing things with violet. Tint the candy, wing, ice cream. etc., with violet and then flavor with violet. Add a few ps of anise to vanilla extract to get flavor that simulates violet. Just 1zzestion of the anise is sufficlent, spoils the illusion. T know of woman who in desperation used a drops of violet perfume with the coloring when making candy. The re- was satisfactory.

The gift of imagination is of serv- ice in other places beside that of writing storles or plays or painting plctures or doing any of the other things that are usuaily supposed to belong only to artists. Imagination will help the housewife to reulize new possibilities in_the attractive pack- ages of food that adorn her pantry shelves. Many of us can remember when we were advised to buy all foods in bulkibecause “it is foolish to pay for the frills. There is a large group of housewives who must needs keep to this advice simply because of a non-elastic income. Such women may easily protect their families by select- ing a_highgrade grocer who sells clean food from a clean place. They may then buy ginger snaps or what not by the pound rather than by the package. Women with a little more leeway, however, will be ready to pay the extra cost of the modern sanjtary package, because of the bet- ter ‘quality of food, and they will also be saved the trouble of taking extra thought about sanitation, since even 2 careless grocer cannot harm the contents of such carefully made con tainers. Tt s with the other side of the ques- tlon, however, that we are dealing at the moment—the more stimulating side. Imagination that goes back of the beautiful and clean package of food has a fascinating trail to travel. Just by way of illustration, take raisins. ~ Weren't_the children’ chat tering about the Egyvptians last night, | when they came home from school? Do you suppose they know that we heard about raisins from Egyptians and that even before their time, dwellers In the pre-historic ages probably made the discovery of how to dry wild grapes so as to make the delicious food product which we know as raisins? Wouldn't the children take further interest in their morn- ing cereal if they knew that the plump raisins contained therein really have a place in history? the type of Sundav school where th listen to the simplified Bible storie: Why not suggest that they ask for a story about David and how he brought the sses laden with cheese and raisins for the purpose of helping to pay his taxes?" Then there are the older those who are studying history. will be glad to impart the in formation acquired about the histori cal development of the raisin indus try and the world trade in ralsins s long ago s 1300 A.

Vanilla is mild and mellow. a pleasing but not very defi- nite taste. Tt may form a basis for blends requiring but a tiny addition of ore pungent or penetrating ex- tracts to give the best results.

Not only do tweeds ap- pear in new and refreshing colors, but there are all sorts of new weaves to lend varlety to the tweed family. All sorts of reddish brown tones have been smart ‘this Winter with the tweeds. These fresh vibrant brown tones have taken the place of the old time muddy tones that were found when you went in search of brown tweeds. Then there are tweeds in flower tones, too—mauve and white, gray and rose, blue and green. It has for years been a widespread idea that any garment made of tweed must of necessity be of mannish con- struction. If you thought anything at all about it you thought that. Tweed was a mannish material, there fore 2 woman's tweed suit must be mannish. Recently dressmakers have broken do» Iot of these old-time notions. They have trimming on evening frocks and have used cretonne and chintz to trim street frocks. Hex Winter coats have been lined with georgette Summer coats have been trimmed with fur.
