A Sunday Dinner to Be Relished
HOW does this sound? Liver Canape,
smoked shoulder ot pork, boiled and
baked, baked sweet potatoes, shredded tur
nip, mixed mustard, celery hotel style,
Viennese torte?
That's Alice Bradley’s idea of a proper
* Sunday dinner. Miss Bradley is principal
of Miss Farmer’s School of Cookery in
Boston and the author of a series of lour
books on menu planning which are now
being issued in gay kitchen-proof covers.
This menu comes from the “January, Feb
ruary and March" series of the Alice
Bradley Menu-Cook Book (MacMillan
$1.50), the second of the series to be pub
lished. And here are the recipes lor 4 to
6 servings to accompany that menu.

baked. Get 5 to 6 pounds pork. Put
smoked shoulder in large kettle, cover
with cold water, bring to boiling point and
cook slowly until pork is tender, allowing

ROOM GLOWS WITH COLOR WHEN FITTED TO A PAINTING
BEAUTIFUL paintings are no longer
confined to museums. In either orig
inals or in the remarkably accurate and
inexpensive modern reproductions they
are being used in livable American rooms.
The photograph above shows an out
standing example at the Decorators Pic
ture Gallery in New 7 York. It is a dining
room keyed to a Matisse still-life of pine
apples and peaches in vivid green-yellows,
deep pinks and glowing reds. The walls
of this oval room are in soft gray, the rug
is a golden yellow accentuating the gold
and yellow in .the painted peaches of the
Matisse still-life.
The chairs are in old Venetian red lac
quer with antique gold painted design.
The seats are upholstered in dull gold.
The curtains draped over flat gray Vene
tian blinds are of heavy striped satin in
deeper gray and the red and gold ol the
painting. .
The still-life itself hangs on a wide
sheet oi mirror placed in a set-back in the
wall to break the monotony of the oval
of the room. On the shelf beneath it
stand two Bristol vases in old ivory.
The room glows with color and light.
Indirect lighting from large plaster shells
painted the same gray as the walls they
hang on reflects itself in the crystal chan
delier of modern design.

EVERY year more and more young fel
lows are taking to the ar. That
means more and more girls will become
the wives of aviators. What kind of mar
ried life will the air-bride hav: ? Will she
be restless, in constant state of worry, un
able to go about her housework like the
wives of other men who i jobs don't take
them into the clouds?
Lattie Dawson can give some answers.
Her husband is a transport captain lor
one of the big airplane companies.
“No. I never worry,” she say . When
Bob leaves the house for a flight. 1 know
pretty well in advance just what his flight
plan is—the airport people have mapped it
out. altitude to be flown, the course, and
all that. And while he is in flight. I keep
track of him over the short-wave radio.
“You know they broad ast something
like thi —Captain Robert F. Dawson on
trip from Newark to Chicago, —then give
the names of the crew, number of pas
sengers, how much mail aboard, w hat alti
tude they are traveling at, the weather,
where they have last ok red from and
what towns ahead are open. You remem
ber a few Sundays ago it was so very
foggy here. Well, I knew that both Bui
falo and Pittsburgh were open, so I didn t
worry.”
* * *
YOUNG, gracious, smartly dressed
(transport captains must make gooo
money), she adds, “1 don’t think many
wives know so much about their hu bands'
whereabouts as we air-wives do a bom
ours.”
The young Dawsons hail from Oklaho
ma, went to college together at Stillwater,
wore married after Captain Dawson grad
uated, tried to settle down and run his
father’s wedding present, a nice, prosper
ous grocery store. But young Dawson
spent most of his time out back in the
yard tinkering with a bit of junk that had
once been an airplane
He got the junk to fly, Lattie flew with
him, then they chucked the vegetables
and coffee and packages of food and took
to the air for a livelihood. They hauled
Indians by weight.

“ t SPENT my early married life darning
•i —not my husband's socks, but air
plane wings. Sometimes we thought long
ingly of the nice clinking ca h register
back in the grocery store we had passed
up. But «ur luck changed when our
daughter was born. Since then everything
seems to have been on the up and up.”
Captain Dawson quit barnstorming alter
the birth of his daughter. He took a job
delivering planes to eastern airports,
worked in various airplane lactories, land
ed with Ford in Detroit.
Six years ago he went with United Air
lines. Now he’s a captain, flying pas
senger transports.
So there you are. girls—if you wonder
what it would be like to marry an avia
tor. Takes courage and common sen e,
pluck and loyalty, charm and away with
darning needles —AND of course an avia
tor!

i.xtO drws is better than its hip line.
IN if it's good around the hips, it will
have the right swing.” That's the way
Kay Morrison feels about it. This young
American designer with a Hollywood be
ginning and a Filth Ave. present, nas
achieved distinction with her draping of
the hips and the flattering management
of color.
