Fashions of Today
Vanities Essential.
BY MARIE sHALMAR

The fashion of displaying mirrors.
powder cases and similar paraphernalia
of the toilet seems to go in waves. In
the seventeenth century the small
mirror was as necessary an accessory
as 1t Is today. Even men carried them,
and made no bones about using them,
either. In the Middle Ages, when 1t
was the fashion for women to have ex-
tremely high foreheads, O pair Of orf1a-
mental tweeZers hung at the girdle with
the little mirror and women of fashion
plucked out growing hairs from their
brows as nonchalantly as they powder
their noses today.
No handbag of today is complete
without its small mirror and many bags
are fitted with powder case and lip
stick as well. But many well dressed
women never have made use of these
helps to beauty in public and there
seems to be q little more reticence
about using these things now than
there was year or more ago.

What impresses me on the purely
pleasurable score Is that the latest

enchanting creatures. For a combina-

song give me the orioles before all the

Macaroni and rice are best
cooked in rapidly boiling water.
Cooked in this way they will not
stick to the pan.
Chiffon is easily washed in
warm, soapy water. Do not have
the water hot, otherwise the color
will wash out. Rinse it we'll in
clear warm water, fold smoothly
and put through the wringer.
Avoid wringing with the hands.
Open the chiffon out fiat and

To remove fat from hot SOUP
pour the soup through a cloth

RUM CAR GIVEN
FINANCE FIRM

The automobile used by Sam.
uel and Yetta Watchinsky, which
was seized and confiscated under
the National Prohibition Act in
front Of the courthouse on Oc-
tober 19, 1928. was ordered re.
turned to the Automobile Brok
erage Corporation a finarce COM
pany, by the Court of Appeals
yesterday.
The brokerage company had
intervened in a suit Of the Gov
ernment against the Watchinskys
and claimed the car had been
sold to Louis Malinow, of Balti-
more, on July Is, 1923, for ST $50
less $500 allowance on a used
car. The conditional sales con-
tract had specified the machine
should not be used in violation
OF the liquor law the record dis
closed, and violation of the stipu.
laton provided for q repossessicn
OF the vehicle.
The court found no evidence
to show how the defendants came
into possession of the car and
sustains the claim of the leinor
that he had no notice Of unlaw-
ful use Of the car and had no
reason at the time of the sale
Of the machine to believe that it
would be used for any but law
full purposes. A police court
judge had refused to order the
surrender Of the car to the f.
nance company.
