Bracing Fashions

THE American college girl is prob-

re-

ably responsible for the braces and skirt fashion which has appeared for spring and summer wear during the past few years. She's a practical young woman who likes to look smart, but not at the expense of comfort. Often, too, she has to live on a very slender income while work- ing her way through college, so her expenditure is limited.

These braces-frocks meet the demand for Conomy, smartness and comfort.

Angrave has illustrated here some ver- sions. They are essentially for the girl in

her teens and early twenties.

FIRST style shown in a simple four- gored skirt with wide belt of self- fabric and plain, straightforward braces. At the centro front the belt is punched with But eyelets through which a cord is laced. you haven't to do that up every time you dress, for the skirt really fastens at the left side.

Made of wool fabric it would look lovely with the guimpe in gally-striped material.

It could be either a plain block

stripe like that shown here- say, navy and white with a Bavy akirt. Or you could make the guimpe from one of the lovely multi-coloured striped ninons that have just appeared in the shops. Don't shudder at the thought of working on inon. for this is made from synthetic yarn and has, more substance than the pure silk variety. which is not really practicable for everyday wear.

DELICIOUS WAYS WITH LAMB

AMD, properly coolced, is one of

Meno dellelous meats, suc-

culent and tender. However, or- dinary roast lamb is a boring dish when it is included too often in the thenu, so here are some different ways of dealing with It.

You will like stuffed lamb chops. For six or eight chops you must pre- pare a stuffing of eight small chapped mushrooms, four teaspoons of minced pimento, a sharp knife and split the meat practically to the bone, after- worda grilling one side of the chopa only, when you have stuffed them with the mixture. Make some fairlyj forge pleces of toast, place these in the baking in, and put the chops on them cooked side downwards. Bake In a quick oven.

You should also try these appetis- ing Individual lamb ples:-Talce two cups of chopped cooked lumb and a minced onion, and brown them in n frying pan with a little butter. Then add a cup of cooked potatoes half

Prepare a greased ple-dish and put in alternate layers of meat, tomato, raw potato, onion, mushrooms, and seasoning. Then add the stock and Arish with layer of potatoes.

Sprinkle with bread-crumbs and a little dripping. Bake for about an hour in a moderate oven.

This is a good way of making lamb casseron:-Melt two ounces OL dripping and brown two pounds of tanto chops in this.
