So for your copy of Cy's culinary, gift, here is Vk cups flour, sifted teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons baking powder xk cup sugar By JANET Well they're over the holi days with all their merriment and frenzy, joys and chaos, and even those who claim it's "a relief" are experiencing a certain amount of let down as they look ahead to three more months of cold unrelieved winter, As the Christmas decorations are packed Sway and the last pine needles are swept up, even as you're saying a bit too firmly "Well, it's good to be tidy again," I'll wager you're thinking with a "Doesn't it look sterile now what?" These are the after-Christmas grizzlies and no one feels them any more strongly than There are some things you can do in anticipation of this time of year: You can have a live Christmas tree which can be taken outside after Christmas and with much ceremony planted as a living symbol of the continuation of the Christmas Spirit.

You can plan a Twelfth Night party although this might be said to be just postponing the "grizzlies." Or you can plan your Christmas decorations so that many of them will continue as winter decorations. Juniper branches, for instance, are long lasting and make delightful winter arrangements, as do pine and boxwood when stripped of their Christmas tinsel. IF YOU haven't been far-sighted this year, now is the time to make resolutions about next year and in the, meantime get in and make an all out effort to bring a' midwinter cozyness to your home. Think of the things that made your home particularly inviting during the holidays. The smell of baking, fresh plants or greens, and candle light or little twlnkly lights were undoubtedly part of it, and there's no reason why these same things can't give the same lift now during the doldrums.

Baking, or at the very least popcorn and hot chocolate shuld be part of every snowy day. Grace that clean but ach-ingly bare place where the Christmas tree or creche stood with a bright fresh cyclamen or azalea plant a good investment when you realize that with care It should last and bloom for many weeks. This would also be a good time to make a winter garden or treat yourself to some new green plants.

Yom ARE A ORf AT ftWT IaJUEM IT SI To Mara By MARION LESLIE I'isic and her cWldren are the 'asic things in the life of S. Dvonch, first woman to named assistant concert-master of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. Intense, perceptive Mrs. Dvonch considers herself "lucky in her attitudes" toward life. In her music, she explained whatever she happens to be playing is the most important to her.

In her personal life, she stopped traveling while her son and daughter were growing up. "In my childhood, my violin was everything to me," she recalled. "Then, when I mar ried and had the children, my family was the i a thing." The children are grown now and she and her husband are divorced, so music is her life again. Her dedication is evident in every fibre of her five foot tall being. FROM HER LONG Island home, Mrs.

Dvonch, was leading a busy life, playing the violin "free lance" and teaching in New York, when she was invited to audition for assistant concertmaster with the Pittsburgh Symphony. Because an orchestra may be split np in opera or ballet or similar musical areas, it is necessary to have four people capable of being concertmaster, she explained. Very few women hold such positions with major symphonies, she added. Her experience in this field includes playing second stand for the American Symphony Orchestra, Stokowski, and concertmaster for Queens Symphony, Queens Chamber Orchestra and others. xL.I D-L ueiiiei rath Residence For Cieslak Mr.

In practice those ideas work out like so: DO unfold a napkin in your lap; never shake it open although it's paper.
