Compartments as Important as Style
-DuVetyn FaiIie, Silk and Can
ton Crepe, Materials.

Smart compact bags are the key
note of the novelties featured this
season, Paris has set the pace for
bulkless appearing handbags, and
American manufacturers have adopt
ed this idea with variations to suit
the needs of American women.
Bags are carried more for utility
than for decoration by American
women, it was pointed out, and there
fore compartments are as important
an element as the style. To give the
fiat effect and at the same time make
it roomy has taxed the ingenuity of
manufacturers, but they have sue
ceeded admirably in combining the
two. Bags are being made so small
and at the same time spacious enough
for toilet articles, that the term wan
ity' is literally applied.
The envelope bag, square and OBJ
long shape, is the most stressed style,
but bags on frames and draw strings
developed in new materials are also
conspicuOusly featured.
Duvetyn faille, silk and canton
crepe are three of the most popular
materials used this season and are
combined in many cases with steel
beads. There is a strong tendency
toward fur bags. Some manufactur-
ers are bringing them out in American
broadtail and the cheaper makers are
approximating this by using fur fab

FABRIC GLOVE IS APPROVED
Even Those Accustomed to Wear Kid
Have Declared Preference for
Newer Handcovering.

The fabric glove has found favor
with the most fastidiOus; even those
accustomed to wear the kid glove eX-
clusively have declared preference for
the fabric glove for general wear.
Led by the fancy kid glove, which
has had its quota of success, the fabric
glove has begun to be decorated in
various ways. One of the weaveS find
ing favor comes from France, and,
strange to say, it has been developed
with all thought for an American eli
entele. 1t is an armure of fine cotton
which has been passed through an en-
cry process, leaving it with a velvety
finish like a dull suede. 1t is said to
be lighter in quality than the chamois,
which is the one liked best in the heav-
ier grades.
Among the shades preferred, gray
and belize are now in the first rank
with such differences in tones as
shades in each color with white and
black and, not infreQuently, combinar
tions of the two.

Crepe and Velvet
Favorite Fabrics Beautified by
the Use of Lace.
Afternoon Frocks Are Shown Plain
and Sometimes With Beads
Side Drapes Used.

Crepe, velvets and brocades are spe-
cialties of one manufacturer. Several
of their black evening gowns are made
up with lace, while afternoon frocks
are shown plain and sometimes with
beads.
Side drapes of lace, which extend
from the shoulder to the hem and
form tiny sleeves, characterize a black
costume of canton crepe which has
inserts of the same lace in straight
lines down the front. A navy canton
crepe has side drapes formed of
squares of double crepe heavily bead
ed in red. Lines of the same beads
outline the collar, cuffs and shoulders.
Three tiers of white crystal beads
in long loops cover the entire skirt
of a canton crepe gown built on
straight lines. One tier of loops COW
ers the waists, supplemented with
bands of designs in the beads. A
black chiffon velvet with long bodice
straight in front and gathered at the
sides, features a curved hem, longer
at the sides than in the back and
front.
In brocaded chiffon, two deep tur-
quoise frOcks are shown, one with a
ScallOped tunic over an undersllirt of
the same color in charmeuse. and the
other with the flower design of the
brocade on the lower part of the skirt
emphasized by blue beads.
A dress with a separate cape is
shown in brown canton crepe. The
bodice is long WASTED and plain with
corded belt and long side panels.
The cape is of the same color and also
plain, except for the corded border of
the wide collar and the bottom.

Fuchsia Tints Prominent in Display

Lovely and varied are fuchsia
shades seen in the autumn display of
millinery. American Beauty, too,
bright and becoming, takes q promi-

small alike. In trimmings there are
beads and embroidery, and the high
front effect is quite noticeable.
There are notifications of the tri-
corn shape, and Spanish effects in
trimmings that include dangling
earrings. The dropping feather will
be seen again this winter. Even kid is
included in the trimmings, one very
attractive shape of navy blue velvet
having kid morning glOries in blue
covering the upturned brim. A large
picture hat is charming in fuchsia
shades, with panne velvet facings in
lighter shade. French velvet flowers
are fastened round the graceful,
slightly dropping brim. Spanish
draped effects are also featured, and

solved in cooking the vegetable. When
possible, use it in making sauces to be
served with the vegetable, or in
gravies, instead of plain boiling water.
In cooking the succulent green vege-
tables, like peas, spinach or green's of
any kind, avoid adding salt until ready
to serve, as salt toughens the vege-
tables and makes them less digestible.
When peas or corn lack sweetness, add
a teaspoonful of sugar to the vegeta-
BILE while cooking; do not overdo the
sweetening or the result will be un-
pleasant.
By combining vegetables with meat,
the meat may be extended and the
vegetables nicely seasoned. Take a
pound of good cut of mutton. cut it
into serving sized pieces and brown
well on all sides, seasoning well. Add
a cupful of diced carrot, or more as
one likes, a finely minced onion and
potatoes cut into small pieces; add wa
ter, boiling hot, and cook, tightly cov-
cred, on the back of the stove for two
or three hours.
Potato mullins are prepared by fill
ing we'll creased muffin pans with
mashed potato and baking until
brown. Slip out of the muffin pans and
garnish a platter OF fish with the pota-
to mullins and sprigs of parsley and
lemon.
Hot Water Pastry.-Take one cupful
of lard, one-half cupful of boiling wa
ter, one teaspoOnful of salt and, when
well mixed, stir in three cupfuls of
flour. Mix well and set away on ice
to chill. Roll out as usual. This
makes pastry for two covered pies
and one crust
Prune Salad.-Soak one-half pound
of prunes over night and then simmer
until tender. When cold, pit them and
stuff with walnut meats. Shred a
bunch of lettuce, make nests and on
each place four or five prunes. Cover
with mayonnaise and serve.
Cold boiled sweetened rice, served
with bananas and cream, makes a good
