What’s New In Blenders?
Blenders continue to grow in popularity. Over five and one-half
million blenders were sold in 1970.
Blender containers with handles and mea
suring marks on the side are a popular feature,
as are larger capacity containers such as 6-cup or
48-ounce capacity.
The lower silhouette of new blenders makes
it easier to use the appliance at kitchen-counter
height.
Speeds of blenders vary from 2 to 16. The
various settings take the guesswork out of blend-
ing. Some speeds are identified as stir, puree,
whip, grate, mix, chop, grind, blend, liquefy.
Other blenders have speeds indicated by number.
Many models have momentary on/off
switches for maximum control during quick
chopping and blending processes.
One blender model has its own spatula that
attaches inside the container and
lets you scrape down the ingre
dients during the blending opera
tion This feature helps assure
you of uniform consistency in
the foods you are blending
Convenient timers eliminate
the guesswork and clock-watch
ing needed with blenders without
ihe timer
One of the latest blender
features is a cool and stir
feature. It has a heating element
which can cook such foods as
sauces, gravies, hot drinks, and
even popcorn Since the tem
perature rises to 375 degrees,
you can even brmg raw potatoes
to a bod, cook them untd tender,
and then blend them all in the
same container.
Because there are so many
models of blenders on the mar
ket and so many features to con
sider, shop for the one that will
_do -the- jobs you have in mm 3
for a blender.
Remember, that no blender is
designed to take the place of
your electric mixer.
And to get maximum use out
ol this appliance, keep it out
where you’ll use it.
What Length Skirts?
If you’re wondering what to
do about the length of your hem
lines, fashion experts say do
as you choose Do what is right
for the occasion, the place, the
activity, your mood, above all,
your figure
Both short and long skirts
share the fashion spotlight So,
you have a choice ranging from
above the knee to below the calf
The best fashion philosophy for
now is to wear the length you
like. Pehraps your wardrobe
will include a variety of lengths
A wardrobe of lengths may
have last season’s minis turned
into tunics, short skirts just
above tfie knee, the newest
length of just-below-the-knee,
the midi length at midcalf or

shoe top
Along with the hemline ward
robe variety, you also have the
choice of short or long jackets,
and short or long pants varying
from wide midcalf-length to long
and narrow silhouettes.
Actually, proportion rather
than length is the key factor in
fashion Whatever length you
choose, discover how to propor
tion your clothes to your own
body.
Proportion also applies to the
component parts of a costume
For example, as longer skirts
hide the legs, the neckline be
comes more important and more
uncovered. And designers
feature a variety of necklines—
bateau, deep “V”, and rounded
styles.
As hemlines go down, sleeves
receive new emphasis. And
waistlines become a rediscovered
focal point of the costume.
What skirt length should you
wear? It’s up to you and your
figure.
