Embroidered Fashion Show On December 2, 1962, Branch 53 held an Embroidered Fa shions Show and Tea in Astoria, N. Y. The dresses modeled were worn by (seated left to right) Mrs. Maria Hollowey of Br. 1, Mrs. Olga Slywka Br. 1, Miss Ann Basarab Br. 53, Mrs. Anne Kushner Br. 53, (standing) Mrs. Lesya Riznyk Br. 53, Mrs. Anna Slywka Br. 1, Mrs. Lesya Goy Br. 1, Mrs. Anna Tur Br. 53. The evening included a short introductory talk by the Presi dent of the branch, Mrs. L. Riz nyk, on the cultural aims of the Soyuz Ukrainok as illustrated by the program of the evening and on embroidery as a cultural aspect of the Ukrainian herit age, and an exhibit of articles embroidered in cross-stitch, hlad, nyzynka, vetynanya and yavorivka. The materials shown were graciously loaned by the Mrs.: A. Koltun, M. Rywak, C. Rywak, A. Tur, A. Sokolyshyn, M. Gumowska, H. Mass, E. Lyk- tey and E. Chomiw. ing for about 10 minutes. When cooked white beans are used, they should be added after the cabbage is cooked to retain their white color. Finally put in the cabbage and cook until it is ten der. Do not overcook. Stir in the tomato or tomato juice and the crushed garlic, if it is used. Blend the flour with 3 table spoons of cold water, spoon into it some soup liquid, and then stir it into the borshch. If a thickened borshch is not de sired, omit the flour. Add a small quantity of the beet kvas or lemon juice or any other mild acid commonly used in borshch, taking care not to use too much. A good borsch should be plea santly tart but not sour. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and bring to the boiling point. Flavor it with the chopped dill. When ready to serve, add some thick sour cream or rich sweet cream. It may also be served without cream. BRANCH 53, ASTORIA, N. Y. Among the articles exhibited was a man’s costume of the Bor- shchiw District which was loaned by Mr. Sam Mass and which evoked a great deal of in terest. By a happy coincidence a woman’s costume of the same area was modelled by Mrs. Kay Balikoff, Br. 53 (left). This pair of costumes brought forth many comments of admiration for the beautiful massive black wool embroidery enhanced by small touches of brilliant colors. Other costumes shown were from Po- dillya, Poltava (Mrs. Dorette Gallan, Br. 53, center) and Hu- tzulshchyna (Mrs. Pauline Dut ton Br. 53, right). Those present were entertained by a group of girls and boys from the Ukrain ian dancing class of Mrs. Elaine Oprysko. The success of the evening can be attributed to the wonder ful cooperation given whole heartedly by Sister-Soyuzanky and the ladies of the Ukrainian community as a whole. The past 1962 meetings of Branch 53 included an Ukrainian embroidery workshop, a Pysan- ka Workshop, a traditional Eas ter Dinner for members and hus bands, a United Nations meet ing with a talk on the Philip pines by Dr. Rosalta Gregorio, a Ceramics Workshop conducted by Mrs. Stephanie Rygel and fi nally for a happy finish to the year a traditional Christmas party. CONFERENCE OF M.M.M. IN WEST GERMANY The World Movement of Moth ers (M.M.M.) held a Conference on October 16 and 17, 1962 in Bad Godesberg. Its main topic was “The importance of family and its educational value.” The Conference included also visits to educational institutions. The World Federation of Ukrainian Women’s Organiza tions (WFUWO) was represent ed there by Mrs. Angele Koval sky. Mrs. Kovalsky is a Board member of M.M.M. Wisdom is sometimes nearer when we stoop then when we soar. Embroidered Fashion Show of the UNWLA Branch 53 in Astoria, N. Y.
