takes so little time to prepare. The
economy of this dish, which is
easily recognized, will make it a
"topper" on the "must repeat"
list.
Your meat pie with corn bread
topping can be served at the table
in its baking dish. As the serving
spoon breaks through the corn
bread crust, you'll love the won-
derful aroma ttiat greets you, and
really welcome the good flavor that
has been sealed in by the corn
bread. There will be no cold se-
cond helpings because the corn
bread tends to hold the heat in.
This is a good way to use left-
over meat and vegetables.

For the first time in fashion's
history, the American public is do-
ing the dictating on styles . . NOT
accepting the trends from Paris,
Italy and Spain!
A relaxed casualness ... a free-
dom of movement ... an adapta-
bility to the American way of life
—these are the attributes of good
fashion as demanded by Miss and
Mrs. America
This season with pleats definit-
ely in favor, the nation's leading
stylists have gone all-out to meet
the ever-increasing popularity of
pleated sportswear, spectator, af-
ter-five and even lingerie designs.
"We're firmly convinced, states
imaginative West Coast designers,
"that everyone can wear pleats . . .
every type of figure . . . for every
type of occasion. The secret of the
fluid, flattering line is in the shap-
ing of the fabric. Fullness starting
at the mid-hip tends to minimize
the hips and give the illusion of
slimness."
With this in mind, a full circle
concertina skirt has been introdu-
ced in "Tubinyl," forerunner of the
"miracle fabrics" in a luxurious

By day, pleated skirts are the
ideal complements to tailored blou-
ses. By evening they provide table-
talk with bodices of matching or
contrasting fabrics. An effective
addition is a waist-whittling cinch-
belt of jewel-studedd elastic and
velveteen, mat jersey or self-
pleated "Tubinyl."
Changed with a mood . . . wash-

for every occasion ... so typically
