Fashion is taking wartime trend
and displays military air about styles.
Simplicity, well-cut lines, and plenty of
big pockets suggest the uniform of
our fighting men. This theme is pre-
dominant In all circles of the fashion
world.
This suit Is one of the smartest to
appear in the IimeIight of fashion. 1t
is of French blue corduroy decorated
with bright yellow and red figures.
Touches of color such as these will be
the predominating feature, together
with the military cut. The pockets,
belt, cape collar, and lack of extreme
ornamentation make this costume a
leader among all others.

Fur circIet Combs for Hair.

One Of the newest wrinkles is to use
circlet in place of the ribbon fillet that
has been in vogue for several seasons.
The girl with dark hair will use err
mine, chinchilla or otter; while the
blonde will find sealskin, kolinsky or
other dark furS an excellent foil for
her fair tresses and skin.
OF course, If the frock is trimmed
with fur, SO much the better for the
artistic ensemble. 1t is not necessary
that the fur should be used in great
quantities indeed, more pleasing eff
feet will be gained by posing bow
knot on the girdle either at one side of
the front or the back.

Is abundant there is no excuse for the
economy, but with milk ten and even
htteen cents a quart the expense may
be saved.
The tedious process of Dreaming the
outter and sugar is not necessary for
an everyday cake; the fat may be
warmed not melted, then 1t mixes
quickly; the eggs beaten and added
first, the whites folded in ut the last.
Another and still shorter cut is per-
formed in the following manner-beat
the eggs with the sugar, add flour and
other ingredients used and stir in the
| melted butter or fat at the last. then
give the cake good beating and see
what a tasty f1ne-grained cake you
have with little time expended.
When using any fat instead of butter,
salt must be added to bring out the
| flavor. Pastry flour is smoother in
texture than bread flour and cakes and
pastry made from it are fine-grained
and better texture. 1t does not need
the many siftings which bread flour
seems to require.
Fats skinned from the tops of soups
is vegetables have not been cooked in
1t, drippingS from roasts and chicken
fat are all good fats to use in cake
| making. When the fat Is melted and
ADDED last, the cake should not be
stirred much until after the fat Is
| added, then give 1t good beating by
stirring before, 1t seems to tougher the
texture.
Prune Cakc.-Three eggs, one cupful
of powdered sugar, three tablespoon
fuls of sour cream, two cupfuls of
flour, 1.-TWO tablespoonful or less If you
| use bread fiour), one teaspoonful Of all
spice, two teaspoonfuls of cinnamon, a
cupful of cooked, finely cut prunes,
| half a teaspoonful of soda and three
fourths of q cupful of melted butter
added at the last, then give good
beating.

Woman Suffrage Up to Voters.
There is every possibility that the

mately be submitted to vote of the

Any calamity, an worldwide move
ment and, of course, most of all, a
war, has its influence on feminine
fashions. Just now patriotism, as is
to be expected, is reflected in milady's
costume.
The Miss Columbia handbag" made
of red, white and blue braid, gives just
touch of patriotism to the costume.
