February days demand warming
foods. "Soup and Crackers" offer
the go togetherness which answers
the need for the "filling and heat-
ing foods."
It's fun to bedeck your table, as
Jack Frost sketches on the window
panes, with hearty soups, served
from your favorite mugs or bowls.
Accompany with a palate-full of
crisp crackers and a snappy selec-
tion of spreads. After the first sip.
tingling Angers and chattering
teeth will be soothed!
Just heat up a can or two of
canned condensed vegetable beef
or tomato soup. Mix or match these,
or other family favorites, and serve
steamy hot with the following
spreads. Create new soup combina-
tions. work up new spreads, and
each day will bring forth demands
for more soup and crackers . . .
they're still going steady!
Serve mugsful of tomato or vege-
table soup with crackers and these
help-your-self spreads:
CHEESE'N CLAM SPREAD: Drain
1 can. 71i ounce size, minced clams.
Reserve 2 tablespoons of the liquid
and combine with two 3-ounce pack-
ages tream cheese, and 1 teaspoon
lemon Juice. Beat until smooth,
then stir in 1 teaspoon grated
onion, and a dash of salt and pep-
per. Carefully fold in drained clams.
Chill if desired. This makes 1%
cups spread. Try SPICEO-UP
CORNED BEEF SPREAD. Break
the corned beef (from a 12 ounce
can) into pieces. Add *4 cup
chopped celery. In a bowl combine
Vh cup mayonnaise or salad dress-
ing. 3 tablespoons sweet pickle
relish and JV4 teaspoons lemon
juice. Pour over corned beef mix-
ture. Toss gently with a fork. Chill.
Makes 1% cups spread.

densed chicken with rice soup and
2 soup cans of water. Heat Yummy!

Needleeraft
by Naney Baxter
Versatility is the sign of a good wardrobe. Clothes tha{t accom-
pany you through two or more seasons are wise investments.
Accessories that will adapt to several outfits are valuable posses-
sions. If you can boast of these features in your wardrobe, you are
a woman who seldom wails, "I haven't a thing to wear!" For the
one who chooses her styles with careful thought to temperature
fluctuations, color coordination and accessory changes is always
smartly dressed, always budget-bright.
THE VERSATILE
NEEDLEWOKKER
Versatility is the sign of a
good needleworker, too. A
woman who can knit, sew,
crochet and embroider has the
fashion world open to her. She
is never limited in her choice
of pattern styles. This does
not mean you must be profes-
sionally adept at all forms of
needlework, but a working
knowledge of each is beneficial
to your wardrobe and person-
ally gratifying. For instance,
if your forte is sewing, your
style scope is widened consid-
erably if you are able to add
fashionable knitted or cro-
cheted trims to your home-
sewed garments. If knitting is
your favorite, think how much
1_ " v. < . i •more decorative you could
make some items with hand embroidery or crocheted trimmings.
Make the most of your wardrobe by practicing the various types
of needlework and using them when they are best suited. To get
back to the versatility of dress, select only the patterns and materi-
als that will harmonize with other items in your clothes closet.
Even do-it-yourself projects are uneconomical if their use is limi-
ted.
AN ALL-TIME FAVORITE
Every wardrobe calls for an extra jacket or sweater when th-
tcniperature gets low-down. This smart style gives a cheerful and
comfortable answer to the chills. It is knitted of warm wool or
nylon yarn in the stockinette stitch with the argyle-type pattern
embrofdercd in a two-color duplicate stitch. For this model, navy
was used as the main color, while the diagonal stripes were done
in red and white, but choose the colors that blend best with your
wardrobe. Make one to wear in and out of the seasons. The knitting
directions are given in sizes 10-12-14. These may be obtained by
writing to the Needlework Department of this paper and asking
for ARGYLE JACKET, Leaflet No. C-149. Please enclose a stamp-
ed, self-addressed envelope with your request.
EYE-SAVER—A Chicago firm
lias patented this "lemon
shield" which, they say, will
save you many a sting from the
acid juice squirting into your
eye instead of into your tea cup.
Also, the lemon slice won't slip
out of your fingers. The shield
is a three-inch square sheet of
clcar cellophane. Two opposite
corners are sealed together,
forming a triangular sling into
which a wedge of lemon can bo
inserted
