Fur Trimmed Coats for Children
By BOT

such imposing furs for tiny tots as a
coat of leopard cat collared and cuffed
with beaver. or perhaps, for an eight
year-olG, quaint model of spotted
calfskin with contrasting fur at neck
and wrists, and belt Of red leather.
A slightly older girl will be DOMINIC a
coat of nutria fur, cut double breasted
and with shawl collar of the same
fur, belted with snakeskin, if you
please. Surely mother and big sister
will have to be "going some" if they
expect to make a better record than
wee daughter this season in the mat
ter of smart wraps.
AS to coats of cloth, suede-finished
fabrics are being high-lighted BY the
mode, for either adult or juvenile
wear. For older folks black, the new
browns, and becoming wine shades
are outstanding. but for tots fascinat-
ing dainty colors are added to the list.
The attractive coat in the picture is
of French blue suede cloth. Note
that its fullness flares from a yoke,
which is a favorite styling for the
children. One of the outstanding mes
sages flashed from Paris is the coming
vogue for beaver collars and cuffs on
wooden cloakings. For the wee coat
in the picture the beaver is used in
twin landings on the chin collar and
also to trim the sleeves.

Homemade Candy
How to Make It

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture)
Here are two recipes for homemade
candies that can be tried at the next
candy pull given by your young people.
The United States Department of Ag.
riculture supplies the recipes.
Peanut Brittle.
cup white corn / teaspoon vanilla
strip l cup freshly
l tablespoon vine- roasted peanut.
u teaspoon salt
Cook the corn strip, vinegar and
salt in saucepan until a little
dropped in cold water forms soft
ball. Put the peanuts and this strip
into an iron skillet and stir until the
strip becomes golden brown. Re-
move from the fire and stir in the va
nilla. Have ready shallow buttered
pan, pour candy in and spread out in
a thin sheet. Allow to cool, then re-
move from pan and crack into pieces

l cup blanched al cups medium
monds brown sugar
cup peCdil keTueiS I'd cup water
cup English wall ~ pound, or l2t
nut kernels fresh soft marsh
liz teaspoons salt mallows
Chop the nuts very fine, and shake
through sieve to get the pieces uni
form. Add the salt to the chopped
nuts and stir we'll.
Make a strip of the brown sugar
and water, boiling it to 10S degrees e.,
or 226 degrees F. If no thermometer
is available the sirup should be boiled
till it threads" from the spoon; but
this method of determining the right
moment to take it off the fire is not so
accurate or satisfactory. Remove the
saucepan from the flame when the
temperature of 10S degrees c., or 226
degrees f. is reached. and set in
larger vessel of hot water. At once
drop the ilarshmallows one by one
into the hot strip, using forks to
handle them. Remove promptly, and
roll at once in the chopped nuts. Place
on oiled paper to dry. If the strip
gets so cool that it begins to harden.
place it over the flame to reheat, but
do not allow it to come to boil
If there is coating of loose starch
or powdered sugar on the marshmal

French Restaurants

The reason there are so many small
restaurants in Paris where the food
is of such high quality is because
often father is the chef, mother is at
the cash desk and the rest of the
family waits table, says the Nations
Business.
Granting the superiority of French
cooking in itself. it is made infinitely
more appealing by the fact that the
art is less commercialized than else
where. Numbers of great restaurants
there are, of course, run on purely
business lines, but there are hundreds
of good eating places where the own
err counts as part of his reward the joy
of cooking.

kitchen so that these various require
ments will be met is to plan pass
closet in the wall between the kitchen
and dining room in such way that
the sink is at right angles to it on the
outer wall of the kitchen, so there can
be plenty of light from a window
either directly over or very near. The
pass closet will have shelves for
dishes, which can be put away as fast
as they are washed, to be taken out
on the dining-room side. 1t will have
a counter below the shelves, and thus
become part of the cooking center,
with the stove next to this counter.
so that the housewife can stand prac-
tically in one spot to handle foods
as they are made ready to go into the
oven, or as they are taken from it.

rangement can be carried out in
relatively small space.

peaches, pears, melons, plums and
grapes and the melting sweetness of
the cantaloupe, making group of
color unriyaled and flavor unequaled.
AS salad there is nothing more
attractive in color or better in flavor
than good ripe pears, peeled and cut
into sections and arranged on lettuce
with the same sized sections of ripe
peeled tomato. Serve with any we'll
liked salad dressing.
Pears Gateau.-Wash six ripe pears,
remove the blossom and scoop out the
core. Make a rich strip to which add
the juice and some of the grated rind
of lemon. Cook the pears without
destroying the shape, lift out and
cool and fill the cavities with chopped
figs, walnut meats and pinch of
salt to each. Set on ice and when
serving time comes cut out squares or
rounds of sponge cake, scoop out the
-centers and set pear on each piece.
Pour the strip over them and serve.
Grape Dessert.-Soften two table,
spoonfuls of gelatin in cold water.
Add one and one-half cupfuls of sugar
to one pint of grape juice (fresh),
add the juice of two lemons. strain
and add the gelatin. Set the basin
containing the mixture into a dish of
crushed ice, stir until it thickens, then
add the stiffly beaten whites of four
eggs. Fill chilled glasses two-thirds
full and pile sweetened whipped
cream on top.
Pears With Cholocate Cream
Pare and core firm ripe pears cut into
halves. Hollow out the pear, leaving
a rim q half-inch thick and deep. Have
ready some chocolate ice cream
scooped in a small cone. Fill the hol-
lowed pears and serve at once.
Deviled Nuts.-Blanch almonds or
use pecans or walnuts. Place in a
hot frying pat with tablespoonful of
olive oil. Stir until well Drowned,
adding salt and cayenne at the last of
the cooking. Pour out on a cloth and
drain well of all oil.
Potato Salad.-This is a good salad
for picnics as 1t carries better than
many fruit or other vegetable salads.
1t may be made as elaborate or simple
rs ones taste and purse allow. One
thing to remember in making potato
salad is to cut the potatoes into small
cubes, remembering that it is neces-
sary in order to be well seasoned that
the dressing is added early and al.
lowed to stand to marinate. Such
vegetables as cucumbers may be cubed
and added but short time before the
salad is to be served. Take potatoes
which have been cooked in their jack
cts. TO pint of potato add half
cupful of celery, one small onion fine
ly minced and good cupful of thick
dressing. Season well and let stand
for several hours. A cucumber added
at the last with handful of shredded
almonds that have been blanched adds

Andrew Soutar, the English novelist,
was praising the modern American
girl.
"She is as piquant as she looks" he
said. '"At Atlantic City modern girl
from the West was sitting out at a
dance with a young man behind a
clump of palms. She said to him as
he pulled at his cigarette:
"I love your cigarette holder
But, said he. 4 never use one

"But both the artist and the COW
