Cut down an old green or red felt chapeau. Trim it with imitation holly, tiny glitter-balls, or velvety poinsettias. Add bits of beads or sequins, and some veiling. You'll have an out rageous flatterer with little or no cash-outlayl PARTY-TIME PRECAUTION Now that holiday parties and family get-togethers lie just ahead, some little somebody's certain to come home with gum on his clothing! Mrs. Ivert Green of Minneapolis, Minn., claims an ice-cube, rubbed on the fabric's under side, makes it possible to peel off the gum on top. PILGRIM CAKE . Bake a pack aged cake in ntwo round pans. Cool, and cut one "circle" in half. Fit one directly under the "chin" of the whole circle; put the other above, for a curve-top hat. Frost hat and collar in white; whole circle (or face) in pink. Add toasted coconut hair, cherry mouth, chocolate-drop eyes and a row of chocolate buttons down the collar. Isn't she cute? Tasty, too. GIVE A LIFT Sometimes it's more conven ient to bake Angel or Chiffon cake in a loaf-pan for com pany. But how to invert it? Spring clothespins can become "legs" in a jiffy, according to Mrs. Joe Silvia of Minnesota. (A large oblong pan needs at least 10 "legs" to stand safely.) GOING FORWARD Natural gas goes ahead!
