A Western Newspaper Union release outlines a cooperative plan for a large church supper serving 50. It lists menu ideas and detailed quantities for ham loaf, Creole wieners, scalloped potatoes, green beans or peas, Sunshine Salad, cabbage and carrot salad, fruit cobbler, and coffee, plus guidance on planning, helpers, and kitchen use.
Readers can repurpose last year’s summer slacks into a gored skirt with careful fitting at the waist and hips. Emphasis on a firm waistband, smooth placket, and even hem via plumb lines or a table edge marker. Zip front options and careful seam work are highlighted.
The guide describes measuring skirt hems with pins and tape, finishing edges with seam binding or a stitched turn, and using pins and basting before turning. It warns that circular hems should hang two days to avoid warping and surprise after sewing.
Eggs offer variety and appetite appeal with fillings for omelets such as creamed tuna, minced ham, pork sausage, mushrooms, creamed peas, and cheese. Poached eggs can be served in nests of corned beef hash spinach or potato, or with French toast.
The church supper features ham loaf with horseradish sauce scalloped potatoes green peas sunshine salad bread or rolls coffee and milk berry cobbler recipes are given for attendees and volunteers.
The guide advises conventional neutral fabrics such as gray and beige for many skin tones, with prints suitable for diverse day to day wear. Smooth surface fabrics demand sophisticated styles, while luxury fabrics like velvet and satin suit evening wear, sometimes paired with cheaper trimming.
The piece notes hot weather style shifts toward feminine frills on blouses with eyelets and lace, contrasting edging bands, and white footwear. Manish suits fall out of favor as feminine silhouettes rise, while hints of historical men’s suit influences from Cavaliers to Restoration remain.
Memo style note describes crocheted medallion pattern 753 with square directions. Mentions unusually large demand and longer order filling time. Ends with an instruction to send orders to a location not specified.
Collier's notes the Inca empire of Peru thrived without the wheel or money or a written language. Their history was transmitted orally and later recorded by Spanish conquerors, shaping most modern knowledge of the Incas.
The article suggests grating lemon or orange rind before juicing, polishing waxed surfaces to remove rings, using alcohol to strip shel lac then applying resin varnish, and waxing painted wood to stay shiny. It advises salvaging worn oilcloth, padding cushions from quilts, and placing waxed paper under centerpieces. It promotes a weekly play at home night with games and storytelling.
A sewing technique advises stitching up and down children's shoe strings several times on a sewing machine. It suggests repeated passes to reinforce the laces and extend wear.
A safety brief warns households to clear obstacles from floors and pack loose items in nonflammable boxes. It urges securing linoleum or carpet, labeling walls, and using a bright flashlight to inspect dark areas to prevent injuries and fatalities from falls and hidden dangers.
