dressy wear. The caracul is
dyed in many shades of brown,
including light beige, cocoa and
African brown, and often COM
bined with dyed squirrel-used
as a collar and cuffs-beaver or

large collar are features of these
new jackets.
Chinchilla is popular in the
short Jackets, and combined with
blue fox, makes an exquisite little
coat.
Many of the short seal jackets
from last season are being remod-

combined with different fur. For
instance, the tall girl would look
smart in a stunning coat with
the new flare bottom, cut like a
circular flounce from the knee.

and flare cuffs also of the

Household Hints

In making pickles use the
best vinegar. White wine vinegar
gives the best appearance, but
malt vinegar produces superior
flavor. Employ enameled pans
and wooden spoons, never those
of metal. and keep the pickles
either in glass bottles or un-
glazed earthenware jars.
The water in which, colored
fabrics are washed should not be
warmer than new milk.
A little paraffin added to the

window siils are washed will act
