material they can use and still re-
main respectable. They are drawn
faulty about the figure fastening low
down at the side with a single fancy
button. Yet so cleverly are they cut

you happen to be unusually large

graceful.

at the moment, and RoShanara crepe

inches up the side seams. AS in near
ly all new models, the collar is so
arranged as to be worn either snug
ly and smartly up about the throat,
or standing stiffly upright. A con-
cealed snap and fastener at either
side keeps this in position when
worn open
On the whole there is less braid
used than earlier in the season, and
the vivid-toned braids are decidedly
toned down. There is liking for
silver and gold effects, especially
used at the side of a band of fur.
For Travelling.
Kasha in plain tones is also very
smart for travelling and leopard SKIN
as a trimming adds the ultimate
touch. If your coat is of the swag-
ger type, you will do well to add the
jaunty grace of cape. But al
though cape backs for dress wear
were charming earlier in the season,
they are less frequently seen at the
present time.
Then there are those adorable
affairs in fine French flannel, or in
Botany, which is slightly rougher

and almond; powder and. Madonna

them apart; Monterey, which is
shade of rose with a great deal OF
henna and a touch of orange; a
clear citron yellow and white.
Charmeen, which was hailed with
so much delight in the world OF
coats, does not seem as popular as il
was. For one thing, in the darker
colors, such as black and navy, in
which it is at its best, it is a dread
full thing to keep clean. Every light
est speck of dust settles and sticks
like a poor relation. Kasha clotf
still holds good and the twills arr
still very popular for utility wear

~ URING the Winter months,
when cold meat night comes
around, nothing adds more to
the savoriness Of the meat than
good pickle or relish. But 1t is not
only with cold meat that these
savories combine well, for they are
excellent served with either broiled
or fried fish, steaks outlets and ham.
For Soups and Salads.
Many of them may also be used as
the basis of an appetizing salad,
when fresh vegetables are scarce,
and combined with other ingredients
they will furnish a number OF
piquant sandwich filings which are
hard to equal. Minced pickles with
cream cheese or peanut butter are
particularly recommended for sand
witches.
Going a little outside of the expect
ed uses of pickles, sauces and rel
ishes, try adding little of them to
soups, salad dressings, gravies and
made dishes. 1t will give them a de-
licious and novel flavor that your
friends will long to initiate.
Corn Relish.

of corn, and chop finely one head Of
cabbage, four large onions and green
peppers and one red pepper. Com
