Schoolgirl Style Is Vogue In Modern Fashion
The piece describes current fashion favoring a schoolgirl look. Skirts with full box pleats appear, and daytime lengths shift to 12 inches. Flat heeled sandals with center straps echo childhood party slippers, while floral accessories enhance youthful appeal for day and evening wear.
Wilted Greens revived with cold water and vinegar soak
The piece advises reviving wilted greens by soaking in cold water with a splash of vinegar for a while. It also suggests adding a pinch of salt to the washing water to help make cabbage crisper for slaw or salad.
Heavier Linens Best For Summer Wear
If you choose white and pastel linens for summer wear pick heavier varieties. They cost a bit more but endure constant laundry trips and stay pressed longer, likely lasting another season.
Meaty Hors D'Oeuvres for Vegetable Meals
Summer meals feature tomato boats filled with chicken or seafood salad as hors d oeuvres. Toasted cheese bites offer a quick option with buttered bread squares topped with grated American cheese melted under broiling heat.
Four in One Shape Patty Cutter Debuts
A new patty form creates four different small shapes at once, each a bite sized morsel. Designed for fillings such as caviar jelly or cheese, it suits cocktails or tea gatherings.
Onion and Orange Sandwich
A light hot weather salad features thin slices of Spanish onion and oranges laid on crisp escarole. Serve with a lemon juice based French dressing for a fresh, lunchtime or supper favorite.
