1918, JOHN RANDOLPH BROWN,
beloved husband of Rose Hager
The Colorado statesman., 1918-10-05

The other coat is of heavy velours,
with wide shawl collar and turned
back cuffs Of moleskin plush, all In
taupe color. Except for two plaits at
the side stitched down to the hip
lines. it is entirely plain. Just by way
of showing how expertly stitching can
be managed the designer of this coat
placed a small insert of cloth under
n cut-out In the sleeve above the cuff.
Its color has much to do with the ele-
gance of this coat and demands the
sort of designing that appears in It
1t Is n gentlewoman's coat-equal to
nearly all the demands of the winter
season and very handsome garment
with all its simplicity. 1t buttons up
the front and may be brought up close
about the neck where the plush collar
will prove as warm as fur.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-10-05

Among the pretty frocks shown at
the style show was this one of poplin,
lndulgiug in narrow bands of velvet,
and in plated panels at the back and
front. Only silk frocks can be allowed
the extravaganza of plaits; 1t is out
of the question to allow extra quanti-
ties of wool for them. This attractive
dress has more than generous al
lowance of plaits to Its credit, for 1t
displays a new management of the
bodice. For the slender woman who
hspires to wear a straight line dress but
hopes not TO look angular, this is a
model worth studying.
The bodice is extended several inch
es below the waistline and is straight,
with bands of velvet that relieve its
plainness and improve the figure. The
sleeves are banded in the same way
and finished with a velvet cuff-that
Is simply n wide band. The little
jacket is plain and has shoulder cape
that widenS the shoulder lines, and 1T
falls In slight ripple over the bust

Fur fabrics have passed the expert
mental stage and are now as much a
part of the winters resources for gar
ments and trimmings as furs them
selves. They are used as furs are,
for trimming cloth coats and for the
ished Off with genuine fur in collars
and cuffs. Their manufacture has
reached such a degree of excellence
that they can bear the closest sort of
comparison with natural furs. When
the question of durability Is raised the
evidence is all in favor of fur fab
rics-they outlast almost all other
cloths and Outwear the softest furs by
many seasons.
Manufacturers have been espe-
cially 1uccessful in initiating sealslIin.

dreSsiest wear. One of the coats in

bottom of short-haired fox This Is n
coat for general wear and Is guaran-
tee of comfort in the coolest weather.

There is little doubt in many
minds that butter will reach Il
price 1t one dollaGa pound this
winter. Whether this Is true or
not it is certain butter will not
drop in price. Since butter car
be kept inst as easily as fruits
and vegetables, some farmers
are giving much attention to the
storing Of butter for winter use.
Following are the directions,
given in brief by W. 3. Combs
of the University of Missouri
College Of Agriculture, for stor-
ing butter.
Make butter from sweet Or
only Slightly sour cream. Salt
as usual. .Soald all utensils that
are to come in contact with the
cream or butter. Pack butte r
firmly in one or two pound
crooks. Wrap each erosh with
Muslin which has been boiled
previously. Place crooks con
tanning butter in a larger croc Ii
and cover with brine OF sudicleh
strength to float an egg Ia
every three pounds OF salt used,
add one pound Of sugar and one
fourth pound of saltpeter. The
brine mixture shoulS be boiled,
skinned, aud allowed to cool
before using.
