so as luau lands. A " wig. Days fair are still be- ing granted us, strange ones, we are sure in the light of this sea-

son. It seems as if April impat- ient in awaiting her turn of the

it months. now intrudes into !bbru-

ary's time. Not as an unwelcome visitor to some of us, yet we con- fess that sometimes in the midst of the gentle breezes and sunlight, the trickling streamlets and bare -fields and Spring-like conditions obtaining at present, we own to a longing to have an old-fashioned storm of Winter against the win- dows. But of course only when we know that all about are well and happy. and the stock fed and com- fortable. Then we should have contentment within, while out of doors the stark stxubbles and mud- dy resting furrows and drab pas- tures were being covered softly. Roofs too, and fence-posts and rails that heretofore had been rather bedraggled and unsightly, moulded in a depth of white, like the evergreen boughs and every tree and shrub down to "the mean- est twig." with the snowfall cov- ering the slopes of our valley to blend mill and pond and all ”unto the hills" into a picture at once bewitching and clean.

These days at Alderlea, the fowls. roam the yards and near fields with the delight of Sum- mer, adding extra eggs to our stores and inviting, nay demand- ing us to rest any engrossing in- terest of the moment, and put our wit and skill tovmrds concocting some wholesome dish or another fr the family. Preferably a com- bnation of eggs and milk though it be only a simple custard or humble bread pudding, good as it is, or glorified by the addition of raisins or dates, an end of nut- meats or preserve. The thought returns other days to mind -days when familiar words like c r, radio, truck, tractor or the like ad no place in the conversation at all. We recall that in company with a family of farm-children, mostly of memory how, we ate and much enjoyed a supper dish of this kin. "You may call it what you like, Ellen" the housewife smiled in reply to our curiosity: "We call it, Tloatlng 1sland' -it's a pretty name. don't you think? and per- haps serves to make it more at- tractive. It's a fine way to make use of the small or cracked eggs. . . or double-yolked goose-egg. and very nourishing. I am sure." The eggs were scrambled. lightly and dropped into scalded and sweetened milk. There was a pinch of salt too. and for flavour a sprinkling of nutmeg. And as we "cut" along well-lmcwn fields in the afterlight or close to the edge of dusk towards home, we never could be sure whether it had been the food that had satisfied us so completely or other incidentals of the occasion. because there were other coiiulbutlng filcwrl.

Bleaching

An easy method for bleaching sheets is to stretch them on the line and each time the sun dries them turn the hose on them. It will save the time of taking them down each time to wet them.

Seafood Spaghetti. unlike many of our favorite spaghetti dishes, is of American rather than Italian origin. It relies on seasonings used for New Orleans creole combina- tions for flavor.

Serve a tray of assorted relishes such as green pepper rings, tcmato wedges, scallions, and cucumber sticks with the spaghetti.

PARIS. -r Permanent pleats. penguin contrasts of black and white, pin-stripes and pin check patterning for daytime clothes.

kets of great sine: these form the theme of the first of the Paris dress collections.

The "penning" of fabrics (much

as hair is permed) is the love of the dressmakers here. who show crystal pleats on dresses and coats and who even crystal-pleat the petals of flowers. such flowers are worn on evening drefes them- selves, using panels of close, stiff pleating let into the vast orino- line width of their scmi-trans- parent skirts. By penguin fashions .Paris means the use of blackon white, white on black, but Jacques Helm, sloping his jacket closings and his hip pockets and using these tone combinations, calls his suits "Pen- guin Suits". And even in knit- wear Anny Blatt makes twin-sets with white stripes on black cardi- gans, black stripes on white pull- overs. which in France are simply called "pulls".

But grey is the accepted tone for all these early showings of

The chic woman of lief will then buy herself, if she can af.':cd wool at current prices, a big coat without fasteninga, and on her head will perch a pillbox worn straight and ijutting over her forehead. or else, a sailor shape in straw with a long beak- ed brim. ,

Her cocktail" hour will be spent in slim dark dresses. grey or black, draped much as last season over one hip, but made in semi- tuansparent fabrics. And only when darkness falls will this quiet- ly dressed semi-Cinderella step out in vast crlnollned ball gowns that f! -t away from a minuscule waistline in organzas or chiffons covered. if Germaine Lecomie has hm way, by equally delicate, float- ing "sorties do bal", which are in fact sleeveless chiffon cloaks, al- most transparent, coloured richly as few dresses are coloured. per- haps in poppy red. perhaps in lime yellow.

ALCOIIOLISM IN INDUSTRY

Some months ago. I preriictczl that within five to 10 years. in- stead of the police lco'..:ing after an intoxicated individual. he would be gathered up by the hos- pital ambulance, taken to the general hospital until attack was over, then placed in a special hos- pital or rest home. In less than a year we find plans already being prepared and wards or individuals beds provided at these general and special hospitals.

Another great forward stop in the treatment of alcoholism is rc- ported by John J. Wiiimer. M. D. in the Quarterly Journal or stud- ies on Alcohol, published by the Consolidated Edison Company of New York.

Late in 1947. the Consolidatczl Edison Company officially began to recognize chronic alcoholism as Is. legitimate basis for disability rc- tirement. with the usual modified pay, among its 30.009 employees. The company, facing the facts. acknowledged the reality of nico- holiam as in disease. The com-

Q. flow can I treat an inflamed nose?

A. It is said that one of the best remedies for this is the ap- plication of equal parts of witch hazel and pure alcohol.

Q. How can I impart in rich, brown color to my sponge cake?

A. Sprinkle a little granulated sugar over the top of the sponge calm before placing it in the oven.
