Precious fillet crochet is used for a buffet covering...

Precious fillet crochet is used for a buffet covering which you can make for a very special gift, or for your own holiday entertaining. This lovely, shadowy pattern called "Flowers-in-Wreath" is achieved by combining beige and ecru mercerized crochet cotton to create the light and dark effect. You'll be proud to be the donor of this enchanting runner which will become a treasured household possession. Directions for crocheting this cloth may be obtained by sending a stamped, self-addressed envelope to the Needlework Department of this paper, specifying Design No. 50-12.

Diary of a Beauty Authority

By HELENA RUBENSTEIN NEW YORK, Dec. 4—Sometimes when I am present at an international gathering, I like to play a little game and try to guess the nationalities of the women present by their complexions. I can frequently pick out the women who come from Mediterranean or Latin American countries by their dark skins, while Italians, to be either exceptionally oily or excessively dry due to the climate there. The British women usually have clear, high-colored, ruddy complexions. The American women I can usually detect at once—and in a rather tragic way. I would say that nine out of ten American women have dry skins. There are several reasons why dry skin is so prevalent in America: The American diet for one thing, with its low percentage of fats and oils; the dry temperate climate; the steam-heated rooms in which American women spend so much of their time. All of these are contributing factors. Today, as I walked down Fifth Avenue, I could not help noticing how many beautifully-dressed and otherwise perfectly groomed women suffer from serious complexion faults. A dry skin is a grave beauty fault. First of all, because it is the type of skin which is most likely to wrinkle. Futhermore, it becomes scaly and parched very easily and is usually lifeless and sallow-looking. A woman who has this type of skin, must take extra precautions to prevent a prematurely "aging" skin. The treatment for this type of skin is really not complicated at all, and even a very lazy woman could hardly object to following this simple procedure: In the morning, cleanse your skin with a rich, concentrated cream, allowing it to remain on while you bathe and dress, so that your skin can receive the lubrication it needs. Then pat a milky skin lotion into your skin to finish your morning treatment. In the evening, cleanse again with your rich cream, to remove all dust and grime and to take away any parched, dry feeling. Combine this cleansing with a gentle massage, moving the cream over the surface of your face with broad, upward and outward movements. Remove cream with tissues and pat on your lotion. Then apply a film of special night cream to guard your skin against dryness and lines and leave it on over night. The dry skin is especially sensitive to climatic extremes and should be carefully guarded from too much heat or too much cold. Protect it in the winter from cold winds by wearing a foundation film beneath your make-up, and in the summer with special sunproof protectives. (If you have any questions regarding your own skin problems, Madame Rubenstein will be glad to answer them personally if you will address your inquiry to her, c/o Rubenstein, in care of this paper.)

DO YOU LIKE PARSNIPS?

Parsnips never look very inviting in the vegetable stands in the groceries, but nevertheless they are supposed to be one of the best vegetables and rich in vitamins. Buttered Parsnips Pare and slice or cut parsnips in uniform strips. Place in covered casserole with 1⁄2 cup of water, salt and pepper (white). When cooked add butter, any left over parsnips may be sauted in butter or dipped in batter and fried. WAR DISHES If war finally comes, we may be glad for recipes, such as the one suggested by Miss Lois Culpepper, home economist at the Florida Power and Light Company which has to do with just a "little" meat.

Sweet Tooth Gets Sweeter With These Gay Desserts

By PHILIP LEWIS For "things sweet" and at the same time "easy to make" may I refer you to the following snatched at random from a treasured chest of honored recipes. Chocolate Almond Layer Cake 2/3 cup butter 11⁄2 cups sugar 3 eggs separated 11⁄4 cups evaporated milk 21⁄2 cups sifted flour 3 teaspoons baking powder 1⁄4 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons vanilla Cream butter, add sugar, add egg yolks and beat very smooth, add milk mix well, sift all dry ingredients. Add to mixture, beat until smooth, fold in stiffly beaten whites, and vanilla, pour in two 8in pans, well greased, bake 375 degrees for 25 minutes. Filling 2 1-oz. squares unsweetened chocolate (shaved) 1 tablespoon butter 1/3 cup strong coffee 2 cups confectioners sugar 1 teaspoon almond extract Put butter and chocolate in warm bowl, place on top of oven while cake is baking. Stir while melting, add coffee and sugar, beating until desolved, add almond flavoring spread on cake, and in between layers. How often have you wanted a cheese cake, one that is just as light as a feather, flavored to "just the right taste", well try this one, even if I say so myself it just can't be beat. Cheese Cake 1⁄2 pounds pot cheese 6 eggs 3⁄4 cup flour 1 cup sugar Juice of 2 lemons 1⁄2 pint whipped cream 1 box Zwelback 1⁄4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla Pass pot cheese through a fine strainer to remove all the lumps. Beat egg yolks light, add sugar, flour, salt, cheese, mix well add lemon juice and vanilla, whipped cream. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Roll Swibach fine, mix 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, 1⁄2 cup sugar. Grease spring form pan, cover all over. Bake one (1) hour 300 degrees. Leave in pan to cool. If the younger folks see the name of this cake and start to get curious to be inquisitive, you be the same, you wont re-gret it, It's light, fluffy and simply delicious.

Mix flour and salt, add the chocolate mixture alternate with the flour to the egg mixture, add vanilla, fold in egg whites stiffly beaten. Bake in 2 layers 350 degrees 25-30 minutes: Cover with boiled frosting. Here is a real baking help. When your recipe calls for, "fold in the whites of eggs"; do it this way. After beating the whites stiff, take one-third of them and STIR them in well but carefully, then FOLD the rest in. Having heard ladies often ask for a chocolate frosting with little work to it now's a good time to pass one along. 2 squares unsweetened chocolate 1 cup 4X sugar 2 tablespoons water 2 eggs 2 tablespoons butter Melt chocolate in double boiler. Remove, add sugar and water. Stir well, add egg one at a time, beat well, add butter one-third at a time, beat well.

The crocheted glass jackets are handy for the hostess and they'll be gay and festive in red, white and blue pearl cotton.
