button bases for an added touch of interest to your basic dresses. The color is up to you—the brighter, the better. Make two extra but tons, attach them to earring bases which you can also buy for about ten cents and you have a stunning outfit of matched earrings and buttons. If you have an old beret (the type with a head band) don’t throw it away! Embroider a strip of matching material and sew it around the head band. For this, try using fancy threads—gold or silver, with a simple geometric de sign. You’ll have a very chic hat in no time. If you have any fashion hints which you would like to share with us don’t hesitate to send them in, and we’ll print them— presto! Lana K. AN OUTLINE OF UKRAINIAN EMBROIDERY FOR THE MODERN MISS AND MRS. The Cross Stitc'h is tlhe most popular stitch in Ukraine today. It has replaced all other stitches to such an extent that needle work l'overis are seriously con cerned and are trying to revive interest in other ways of em broidering'. But the crass stitch is still going strong and can be found in all parts of Ukraine: in some parts it is still in the. pro cess of replacing a stitch, while in others it has already done so. The Crosis Sti'tch probably came to Ukraine through Germany and lends itself easily to plant forms. In fact, many people picture Uk rainian embroidery to consist of ros.es or otlher flowers worked in tlhe cross stitch. Pictured here is one of these designs. It is from the arm-foand section o a peasant woman's sleeve. The rows of flowers arc repeated more times than is shown here and are very attractive. The colors are red and black. If you. are interested in the exact origin of the design, it is: th village of Dobrivlan, the dis trict of Drohohitclh, and the sec tion of Ukraine called Galicia. UKRAINIAN FASHION HINTS If you have a basic bl'ack dress you can wlbip up a variety of ac cessories which will enlarge your wardrobe as well as draw admir ing compliments. For example, a plain black woolen or silk dresis turns into a sophisticated evening outfit if you wrap a multi-colored krai'ka around your waist. Add sil ver earrings and bracelet, and you are all set. It’s very simple these days to ma'ke your own buttons1—you can buy the equipment in and Five- and Ten-cent Store, so Why not embroider small circular designs on some linen and set them on BAKE A UKRAINIAN Honey Cake 4 T. butter or oleo 4 eggs separated 1 lb. honey 2 c. unsifted flour 1 tsp. each of cinnamon, ground cloves, nutmeg 1 tsp. baking soda 1 T. water Cream butter, adding egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each. Add honey and beat well. Sift flour and spices together and add. Mix soda with water and add. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Put in well-'greased 12x6 inch loaf pan, or two small bread pans. Bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour. Cover with dry cloth be fore removing from oven and leave covered until cool. Your cake may appear underdone at the end of 1 hour, but covering with cl'otih takes care of this. This is good served with whipped- cream. Educational Committee The Ukrainian mother who emigrated to foreign country, has a great responsibility in maintaining successfully the family li'fe in new surroundings and under new conditions. Sihe has many and varied tasks to perform. For the most part she is employed in a factory, and when at home she must take care of it as a horne- k'eeper, as wife, mother and educator of her chil dren. All these tasks cannot be executed satisfac torily, hence the E.C. is trying to- remedy her pro blem.s, through instruction, creating kinderagrtens, nurseries and children’s libraries. In 1950 WF'UWO has joined the International Mother’s League (MMM), with headquarters in Paris. The E.C. took over the tasiks of the Ukrain ian Branch of MMM, which is conducting inqui'ry into the difficult conditions of women in Ukraine. The next Congress of MMM will xbe held in 1953 with the slogan “The role of the mother as ed ucator”, for which the E.C. is preparing the mat erial.
