Prune Fluff Is a Sugar-Easy Dessert
(See Recipe Below)
Dessert Answers
As the frosty winter melts and
soft spring breezes gradually take
ns piace, our
thoughts turn to
less hearty des
serts. First and
forempst on our
minds is the sug
ar problem and
how we can skirt
around it. ..
There are many helps available
today. Although sugar is not avail
able in the quantity in which we’d
like it, then, at least, substitutes are
plentiful—corn syrups and honey
among them.
You can use both fresh and dried
fruits which are high in natural
sweetness. You can use prepared
puddings, prepared cake mixes and
flavored gelatin desserts whict\ will
not take even a teaspoonful of sugar.
Our star of the column today is
Prune Fluff which may be prepared
in a loaf pan and served with cus
tard sauce to substitute for whipped
cream.
•Prune Fluff.
(Serves 12)
\\i cups cooked prunes
H cup liquid drained from prunes
% cup sugar
4 teaspoons lemon Juice
K teaspoon cinnamon
14 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon plain gelatls
2 tablespoons cold water
5 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Soft custard sauce
Remove pits from prunes and beat
prunes through a pulp. Combine
the prune liquid,
sugar and lemon
juice, spice and
salt in saucepan
and bring to a
boil. Continue
boiling two min
utes. Remove
from heat. Add gelatin moistened
in cold water and stir to dissolve.
Pour hot liquid over egg whites and
beat well. Add flavoring and prunes
and mix thoroughly but lightly. Pour
into wax paper-lined mold and chill
until firm. Unmold and slice. Serve

(For gingerbread)

Lynn Says:
Kitchen Tips: To shine your
stove, rub waxed paper over it
after cleaning. This will also keep
it from getting rusty.
To clean brass pipes and fix
tures, rub with half a lemon,
rinse with boiling water and rub
dry.
To pick up tiny slivers of
glass which may have broken on
the floor, moisten a piece of ab
sorbent cotton and wipe over the
slivers. This will pick them up
and prevent cutting your fingers.
To unloosen stubborn bottle
caps, knock on floor on each side
of cap and screw loose. For stub
born cases, let hot water run
over cap before knocking against
floor.
To make cut glass retain its
brilliancy, rub with a piece of
lemon, then rinse and rub dry
with lintless toweL

Chic Cape-Ensembles Achieve
^ ‘New Costume’ Look for Spring
By CIIERIE NICHOLAS
SOMETHING most exciting is hap
^ pening in the realm of the cos
tume-suit these days. It’s that capes
are giving a refreshingly new cos
tume look to smart suit ensembles
for spring. In fact, fashion is stag
ing a veritable cape parade for the
new season. The costume suit flaunts
voguish cape, the smart softly
styled dress adds a cape, the sedate
redingote acquires a dramatic cape
and there are endless versions that
companion a cape with skirt and
blouse to the delight of career and
college girl as well as the teen-age
group.
It’s plain to be seen that the ad
vent of capes in the new spring mode
has opened up a channel of design
that promises a refreshingly new in
dividuality. Seeing that the cape
costume offers endless possibilities
for exciting adventures in way of
striking color contrasts, fabric com
binations, style creators are going
all out with bold gestures that are
bringing new drama and dash and
Intriguing color into the fashion pic
ture.
The two cape iasmons musiraiea,
shown at the women’s wear spring
fashion clinic recently held in the
Merchandise Mart of Chicago, give
evidence that the cape costume has
become a wonderful Inspiration for
designers to create with that touch
of genius that counts for outstanding
style distinction. Checks are tri
umphing anew in the mode and they
are particularly good looking made
up in the new voguish cape suits,
after the manner of the costume to
the left in the illustration. Discrim
inating dressers find infinite appeal
in a high-styled costume of this
conservative yet strikingly chic
type.
A luggage tan belt and black
blouse add style emphasis to this
black and white checked cape-style
suit. Later on this voguish check
cape suit will make the costume
ideal for mild spring days, worn with
fine lingerie blouses or with a blouse
in any of the new and highly fash
ionable pastels.
The grand thing about the new
cape suits and costumes is that they
are so versatile in their styling.
You can be as conservative in taste
as you please, choosing beautifully
tailored types in smart checks or
refined pin-stripe gray fabrics, or in
weaves that are in the new soft neu
tral shades or in the now-so-fash
ionable all-navy. On the other hand,
you can go as far as you like both
in color extravaganza or in the use
of more fabrics than one, made up
in a single costume, for fabric com
bination is an important theme this
spring. Designers are doing clever
things with gay prints combined
with plain, after the manner of the
four-piece ensemble pictured, which
is in kelly green, highlighted with a
print in gorgeous color. Corn-flow
er print on a bright tomato back
ground brings drama to this short
jacket suit together with cape and
blouse. The vivid print makes the
blouse, repeating the print in cape
lining and jacket accents. The im
portance of the costume look Is
stressed in this dashing four-piece.
For a cape costume to be made
all of one material and in one color
is also tres chic. Stunning navy blue
cape-jacket-and-skirt threesomes are
seen in smart new costume collec
tions. The three pieces offer wide
opportunity to mix and match with
other apparel in your wardrobe. An
other color gesture seen in smart
cape fashions is that of combining
three shades of one color. Enthusi
asm for neutral tones runs high as
shown in suits and coats and cape
costumes of wools in pale beige and
subtle grays and the very smart off
white shades such as white wine and
oyster white. The new pussy-willow
gray is a fascinating color featured
in spring costumes.

Chic Flannel Blouse
American designers make the
smartest casual clothes on the face
of the globe, as Illustrated by this
spun rayon flannel blouse with its
bright piping and pearl buttons.
Note how the piping outlines the
edges of pocket, neckline, sleeves
and front opening, adding a new and
fetching accent. The tailored skirt is
spun rayon and wool in a smart
chalk stripe. Smartness is not con
fined to the styling of a garment for
it requires quality-kind material
underwritten with guarantee as to
color fastness, shrinkage and other
wear factors. A really smart shop
| per looks for informative labels.
Jeweled Chokers Are
Easy to Make at Home
The choker and dog-collar con
tinue in high favor. The velvet
ribbon type that ties in the back is
particularly flattering, and with nim
ble Angers and a gift of imagina
tion one can easily make a charm
ing jewel-embroidered velvet band
that encircles the throat and ties at
the back. If you happen to have
a bracelet that links flat jeweled
items together lay it flat on the
velvet band across the front cen
ter, then with needle and thread
tack it firmly in place. You will be
surprised at the handsome choker
you will have. Three plastic flow
ers placed two inches apart across
the front of a velvet band be
tween which a little gold thread
embroidery is worked is another
way of acquiring an attractive dog
collar.
Dotted Fabric Combined
With Contrasting Color
If you do your own sewing, you
may be interested in this idea for
making a pretty little daytime frock.
It has to do with print fabric
(either florals or polka dot) made
up in contrast color. For example,
use a white polka dot on a navy
ground with a white polka dot on a
bright red ground, or combine a
white scroll design on a brown back
ground with the same white scroll
repeated on a light green ground.
The effect is strikingly new and at
tractive.
