I
A Bride’s Cake to Greet You at the Reception!
(See Recipes Below.)
Wedding Receptions
After the ‘‘I do’*’’ have been said,
and you have remembered to wear
spmething borrowed, something
blue, and something new,, besides
throwing your bouquet to some
lucky bridesmaid, you are ready for
the reception.
The recpption is among the more
elaborate forms of entertaining, but
because of our
wartime status,
this year's event
will undoubtedly
be more simple.
Simplicity, how
ever, does not im
ply lack of charm
or graciousness,
04 IWA indeed, it often
enhances it the more.
White is the color for brides, so
use your linens or damask on the
wedding table. Flowers may be
white calla lilies in crystal or silver
centerpiece, or other delicate pastel
flowers used with plenty of white to
carry out the theme. Have your
candles, white, too, as the occasion
is somewhat formal.
At most weddings the trend is to
have other refreshments besides the
traditional white cake cut by the
bride and the necessary assistance
by the groom! If you ure baking
the cake at home—and it will be
good if you do—plan to have a small
pastry tube for the frills and deco
rations with celluloid or paper fig
ures of the groom and bride as a
decoration.
Chicken, because of its bland fla
vor and general adaptability, is the
answer to your refreshment prob
lem. 'Chicken in a molded egg ring
makes the table a picture, and your
guests can easily serve themselves:

'NEW IDEAS

COTTON
A STOOL often looks better in
^ front of a desk or telephone
stand than a chair with a high
back. A substantial wooden box
may make the foundation, and if
well padded and smartly covered
will be as attractive as anything
that you could buy.
Before shopping for materials
check over things on hand. Moss,
horse hair and even feathers from
discarded upholstered pieces may
be sewn in a cheese cloth bag and
washed before using again. Worn
draperies and bedspreads usually
have unfaded good pieces in them
that may be used for covering a
small piece like this.

When armored knights met, it
was customary for each knight to
raise the visor of his helmet as a
means of identification. This ges
ture has come down through all
armies in the form of the salute.
Traditional, too, is the Army
man’s preference for Camel Ciga
rettes. In the Army, Navy, Ma
rines, and Coast Guard, actual
sales records in their Service
Stores show Camel is the favorite.
Favorite gift with service men Is
also Camels by the carton. Local
tobacco dealers are featuring
Camel cartons to send to men in
the armed forces anywhere.—Adv.
A delicious dessert is a serving
of baked apples which have been
baked in pineapple juice. Peel
and core the apples and bake until
they are soft and juicy.

“Save Paper,” says Uncle Sam.
O. K. If an impersonal letter
comes to you with but one side
written upon, use the other side
for your correspondence. You
might add a footnote: “I’m saving
paper for Uncle Sam by using the
unused side of this letter.”
Luggage, brief eases, men’*
belts, books, leather chairs, card

wuller is chief of the
"Beaching Crew" for the big,
ocean-flying South American
Clippers. He says: "You've
got to keep your eyes open
on a big job like this. The
breakfast that helps keep me
in there pitching is a big bowl
of Kellogg’s Corn Flakes with
fruit and plenty of milk. It's
a great favorite here at the
employees’ cafeteria, too.”
Casualty-1,000 miles from the enemy
ALMOST as fatal as a bullet or a shell is the
breakdown in the spirit of a sailor or a soldier.
Our men have the finest spirit in the world. But
it must be maintained in the American way.
They must not be made to feel that they are mere
automatons, fighting machines, as the armed forces
of the dictators have been made to feel.
Life in our navy and army is hard. Discipline is
tough. It must be. But there also must be moments
when the sailor or soldier is treated as Mr. Some
body-or-other.
That's where the USO comes in. For the USO is
the banding together of six great agencies to serve
one great purpose—to see that our boys in the camps
and naval stations have a place to go, to turn to, ft
"home away from home.”
The duties of the USO have more than doubled
during the year. Its field of operations has enlarged
to include almost the entire face of the globe.
To carry on its all-important work, it needs funds.
It needs your contribution. No matter how small you
make that contribution, it needs it. Now.
You are beset by requests for help on all sides.
By all means, try to meet those requests. But among
them, don’t neglect the USO.
Send your contribution to your local USO com
mittee, or to USO, National Headquarters, Empire
State Building, New York.
