Women who want a wartime “two-season” Easter out fit that will not only carry them through the spring but which they can wear next fall and under win ter coats, too, will find the suit their best bet. Highlighted in all collections this season are the soft suits which may be worn all year round and for any occasion. Boasting beau tiful detailing and long-lasting fabrics, they take to accessories like a kitten to cream. Worn with a hand-made sheer blouse and flower hat, they spell spring. Or complemented by a me tallic gilet, they make a perfect costume for fall festivities, Pick a dark color and the simplest of styling, and you’ll have a suit good this year and a year or two to come. One (V the most adaptable mod els this season is a short jacket suit of navy blue ribbed woolen, with brilliant buttons carried in a straight line down the front of the jacket and front closing of the skirt. A multicolored print scarf, laced through shoulder button holes can be switched for others to match a multitude of acces sories. « Trapunto work takes the place of fussier trimming in many two piece models. Hand-knotted uphol sterer’s fringe is another effective fillip. Gray, 1-A in this year’s color classification, lays claim to being tops for year-round suitability. Team it up with spanking white accessories and it shouts Easter. Switch the white for black blouse, beret and gloves—and presto, it’s fall fashion at its best. But before you buy, consider the bolero suit, especially those in three tones. • * * * * Spring Models Are Adaptable For Fall By Switching Blouses And Accessories Above: Trapunto work in an effective looped design decorates this 1943 “soft” suit of Fortsmann airmail blue. Trouser-pressed pleats keep the skirt slim, yet provide plenty of walking room. No, Men—Housekeeping Doesn’t Just Do 11 s e 1 f ’ Says Millett By RUTH MILLETT Many a man is developing a new respect for the job of housekeep ing. In the past, such a chap may have taken ms wire s worlc pretty light ly. He imagined that all she had to do to get a meal was fry some lamb chops and open a couple of cans. He thought the housework did it self, simply be cause his wife had a cleaning wom an once a week who helped her Rath Millett with the heavy worK, or Decause in a magnanimous moment he had bought her a washing machine. Well, now this fellow, used to thinking of man’s work as the only hard work, can see that running a house is no snap. He sees that the housekeeper, under a rationing system, has just about as many deadlines to meet as a business man. It takes a desk calendar to keep he> straighten ed out on her closing dates for buying canned goods, sugar, cof fee, gasoline—etc. Furthermore, he can’t go on blithely thinking that all his wife does when she gets a meal on the table is open a few cans. When she opens a can now it is an oc casion. And he knows he can no longer say grandly when she gets in a tight jam with relatives coming un announced and a child coming down with goodness-knows-what, “Call in AIR CORPS KATE! Has Lieut. Harry gone nuts? Ho — he’s just celebrating four helpings of Kate’s newest oven triumphs— chocolate cake, walnut cookies, made with Rumford Baking Powder. Try Rumford.

Mrs. Jones to help you for a few days and try and take it easy.” Nope. Mrs. Jones has quit “work ing out” to take a job in a defense plant. ADDED SUMMER DUTIES Then, too, he now sees the keep er of the house poring over garden book3 at night and wondering w'hether she should put up two oi three hundred quarts of canned fruits and vegetables, and it daw-ns on even him that the summer isn’t going to be any vacation for the little woman—what with gardening and canning added to all her oth er jobs. Yes, men are developing «, new respect for Mama's job. But then so is Mama, She hasn't felt sc necessary to her family or so im portant in her life. Glorify Yourself New Home Facial Is Boon To War Women By ALICIA HART So many of us these days are leading a double life—keeping a home and going to business or do ing war work. Though this dual role we play is much more fascin ating and worthwhile than our more leisurely life of other years, it sometimes does get us down. We’re willing to wager that you face many an evening’s festivities with a feeling of “oh, if I could only stay home tonight and re lax.” And one look at the tracery of tired lines beginning to show around the eyes trebles your mis givings for ever having planned to go dancing or play bridge. But here’s a home facial which will practically turn you into a new woman in 20 minutes. The beauty of it is that there are so few steps in the treatment, and if you are pressed for time, they can be taking effect while you are doing other things. First, remove your old make-up. Remember, twice creamed is twice cleaned. Then smooth on a straw berry-tinted cream mask, about the thickness of a dime. If you have 10 minutes to spare, 1 i e down with your feet about a foot higher than your head, and put witch-hazel pads on your eyes. Otherwise, leave the mask on while you’re in the tub. When you remove it, your skin will tingle as though you had plunged into an icy pool. And with a final application of facial oil, the last remnants of the mask disappear and your skin will look as soft and fresh as a sub-deb’s. * * * Methodist Church Women Name New Officers At Meet WINSTON-SALEM, March 31— (VP)—Election of officers headed the business docket today at the third annual session of the Woman’s So ciety of Christian Service of the western North Carolina Methodist conference. More than 300 women registered yesterday for the conference, which will continue through tomorrow. The principal speaker yesterday was Bishop Arthur J. Moore of At lanta, Ga., who said that “to take Jesus Christ seriously is to accept Christianization of the world as the inevitable mission of toe church.” SLftfatft JCitchjw. ' Buxom Vegetables Are Filling Food By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX Fresh salad greens and vegeta bles are buxom food. Keep that fact in mind. When served with wholegrain breads, and some pro tein food, such as eggs or fish, they can make even the heavy worker feel satisfied. So keep your ration points for dried beans and peas, meat and other foods not obtainable except with points. Your salad vegetables need not be canned, remember. Get them in local gardens or at your vege table stand and save your points Use mixed green salads in large bowls. The largeness of the bowl gives the food a bigger look, makes it seem more important. Serve with French dressing, .made of vegetable oil, vinegar or lemon juice and spices. Use less vinegar or lemon with vegetable oil, than you used to with olive oil. Vegeta ble oil is lighter. Or try the old American recipe for bacon dressing. Chop a piece of bacon and put in a hot frying pan. Fry until it sizzles in its own drippings. Add tart vinegar, a little at a time, and a little brown sugar. Reduce heat and toss in washed and dried salad greens. Toss until greens are all wilted and covered with the dress ing. That’s an old-fashioned and respected American dish- War gives it new importance because of salad oil. To add protein to the luncheon salad bowl (the main course), add dried beans, thin strips of left over cooked meat or chicken, sliced hard-cooked eggs, or cooked soybeans, flaked cooked fish, or cream cheese. Serve wholewheat toast, bran muffins, rye bread or other wholegrain products to add protein to the meal. A salad luncheon seems more satisfying if begun by a cup of hot soup. Keep all scraps of meat and vegetables and gravy for these luncheon soups. Experi ment and soon you’ll have a sup ply of your own tasty recipes. But remember, the leftovers used for soup stock must be kept well refrigerated. Slightly spoiled food never made a good soup. TOMORROW’S MENU BREAKFAST: Stewed rhu barb, oatmeal griddle cakes, syrup or molasses, toast, cof fee, milk. LUNCHEON: Hot rice toma to soup in cups, croutons, large bowl of mixed greens, left-over beans and French dressing, wholewheat muffins, marga rine, cup custard, tea, milk. DINNER: Creamed white fish with green peppers, baked potatoes, buttered carrots, bread, butter or fortified mar garine, lettuce and celery sal ad, apple brown Betty, tea, milk.

Mr. Warren has made a phe nomenal success this winter in op era and concert, and as he has been heard frequently by Wil mington listeners to the Saturday opera broadcasts, his personal appearance is eagerly awaited. Mr. Warren is able to make his date in Wilmington through the courtesy of the Opera company, as he is appearing this week in Chicago with them and will have to make a hurried trip to this city, rejoining the Metropolitan in Cleveland.

Before any concert newcom ers to the city may subscribe and be put on the association member ship' list.

H. Mun son, president, or Wm. G. Robert son, secretary.
