SEPTEMBER

Nearly every one Of the twelve
months will find people saying
some particular month is best.
April the month Of showers, bring
May flowers. June is the month
Of brides and roses. July the
small town orator gets a chance
to spout his oratory. October
means cider making, corn gather
ing, apple picking, and the getting
ready for winter. November
brings the thanksgiving turkey
and December brings Santa
Claus. But while the News-Re-
cord wouldn't disparage any of
these months, it thinks September
has them all faded. This is the
month when the nights are most
perfect. This is the month when
the fogs drift into the window
where you are sleeping and tell
you to turn over in bed and take
another nap. This is the month
when the table is spread with
roasting ears, garden-ripe toma-
toes, and Rhode Island Red friers
are at their best. Nature starts
to doll up, and hues of yellow and
brown and green and red mingle
on tree and meadow and harvest
field. This is the month when
school opens and the tiny feet of
Undergraduates and the awkward
feet of freshies patter and paddle
off toward the school house. But
greater than all these reasons put
together is the joyous fact that it
is the first month after the sum
mer holidays with an "R" in it
and we get back that most glori-
Gus of all table delicacies the
oyster.

TENDER CRUST FOR
THANKSGIVING PIE
Much Depends on HorO
Dough Is Handled and
Proportions.

prepared By the United States Department
of Agricultural
Why not have pie for dessert on
Thanksgiving day The traditional
conclusion to New England Thanks
giving dinner was always a pie of some
sort. Aside from the fact that New
England housekeepers were famous
piNmakers, and could exhibit their skill
to advantage at the large family holt
day gathering, probably one of the rea-
sons for choosing pie for dessert at
this time was that it could be made
early in the morning, or even the day
before, leaving the cook free to attend
to other details of her dinner
No matter what kind of a filling is
used, a pie is not a success unless the
crust is tender, fiaky, and delicate.
While this result depends in part on
how the dough is bundled, good In
gradients in the right proportions are
necessary to begin with. The direc-
tons given below for making pie crust
will be found helpful, and the novice
will acquire skill in manipulation with
little practice and possibly by watch
ing more experienced cook mix and
roll out her crust The recipe is
taken from Farmers Bulletin 145O,
Home Baking, issued recently by the
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1925-11-26
Too Heavy Clothing Is
Not Good for Health

1t seems that people have said
enough about the undress of women,
and that now the pendulum bids fair
to swing in the other direction.
Along comes an eminent British
psychologist who approves Of women's
clothes-and says that the modern
garments are beneficial because they
permit the ultraviolet" rays of the
sunlight to reach the body.
The present-day fashions for women
aim to expose the neck and arms !;
short skirts and sheer stockings are
desirable from the hygienist's point
of view. Add to this the well-estab-
Iished custom of wearing low shoes,
even in winter, which permits of free
ventilation and unhampered move
ments for the muscles of the feet, and
you have to admit that women have
taken a long stride toward that un-
conscious abandon and healthful free
dom of men.
Ample ventilation Is necessary in
order to carry away the body heat
and moisture and to prevent setting
up a "torrid zone" Of impure, stag
nant cir between the clothing and the
skin.
In winter the people who live In
houses with closed windows-glass
eliminates the ultraviolet rays-and
who cover up their heads and feet
and hands when they go out get al
most no ultraviolet radiation. AS a
result they are run down" and re-
quire "spring tonic" but recover
during the summer. The children de-
velo~ ricketts,.
A safe rule is that the clothing
should be a. light as can be worn and
keep the body comfortably warmed.

PARIS FAVORS ORNATE STYLING;
FOOTWEAR REVEALS REAL ARTISTRY

ORNATE simplicity seems a some
what contradictory phrase, we adj
init, yet one has but to view an ex-'
hibit of Paris-made frocks to be con-
WINGED of its reality We Americans
do not lay claim to the gift of achiev
ing simplicity through elaborate detail.
The art of so doing belongs peculiarly
to the French couturier. A Partisan
designer INDUCES in all manner of &c
centric touches, and yet on the whole,
an impression of simplicity is con-
veyed. For example, study the naive
velvet gown shown to the left in the
picture There is everything there to
make it appear elaborate yet on the
whole it is of quite girlish and unpre-
tentious aspect. A band of brilliant
satin traverses the front of this dress.

fabrics than all of one material adds
appreciably to the value Of the sep
arate coat. For the cloth coat may
have a dress of any fabric, and velvet
combines with cloth. crepe or silk.
And popularity Of the ensemble or
Of harmonizing colors, is another fac
tor in the success of the coat de-
signed for general wear with a va.
riety of dresses, resulting in a variety
Of costumes. And designers of coats
playing up to the ensemble idea-have
made individual selection enticingly
easy.

Purple Retains Favor;
Combinations Attractive

In spite of the fact that the past
summer witnessed a vogue of purple
almost unprecedented in the history
of that particular color from fashion
point of view, it still occupies a place
of considerable Importance in the
modes.
Paris, it is said, regards with
favor a shade deeper and richer than
the color which was so popular in
America in the season just past and in
addition to deep purple with a blue
rather than a reddish cast has
launched a new mulberry tone called
Black Prince, so dark that at a dis
lance it appears to be black.
For afternoon costumes and for eve
ming frocks the lighter shades are
chosen and frequently two or three
shades of the same color are combined
in the most subtle fashion.
The majority of evening gowns are
carried out in chiffon with embroideries
in which pearls, beads and brilliants
are interspersed Embroidered bands
fastened to the shoulders and waist
frequently are seen. In other models
insertions of chiffon in different colors
add to the individuality.
The long sleeved afternoon frock of
transparent materials which attained
such success during the summer ap-
pears in several new interpretations of
particular interest.

Separate Coat in
New Winter Modes
Garment Should Be Chosen
With Future Costumes
i'm Mind.

Always excepting the new hat, or
the new little frippery that is needed
to add piquant air to the plainness
Of the costume that is a legacy from
the season past, the separate coat is
far and away the most important ac-
QUESTION Of the new mode. Against
its background-of fabric, color and
line-will be built the costumes that
the season to come will demand.
And these separate coats differ very
little, If at all, from the ensemble coats
bought as a part Of a costume suit.
They fall, naturally, into the same di-
visions of the suit, some model of
which is possible for every occasion
OF the day from early morning until
late evening-or early morning again /!
For they are unitarian, sports, semi
formal and formal, with a generous
representation of tailored types
II will be readily seen that the sep
arate coat is an economy, since it may
be chosen with future costumes in
mind, and its color may be, in a way
a dependable one against which gay
ETY. and brightness and unusual shades
may be silhouetted If it is to be real
Iy serviceable, it must not be chosen in
one of the 'off'' shades-let the frock

Hounce which is to all appearance
buttoned onto the skirt and the faring
sleeve are all points of Importance in
the seasons modes.
Silver embroidery enhances the other
frock, which is of heavy bois de rose
crepe. Coral buttons in conjunction
with silver embroidered bands embel-
fish the flare in a front panel effect.
Silver ornamentation has invaded ev-
cry avenue of fashion. Silver kidskin,
silver stitchery, silver metal cloth, sill
yer ribbons and silver in every con-
ceivable form, contribute lively
part throughout dress designing.
Newest styles from Paris give promi-
nence to boleros and to irregular
waistlines, always maintaining the
flare to the skirt in ways unique and
numerous. There is also a decided
tendency toward princess, effects with
abrupt flare around the hem. The
