HINTS FOR HOUSEKEEPERS

To keep the natural bright color of
the fruit in preserves, rapid cooking is
necessary.
The coolest place in the refrigerator
just under the ice chamber should
be reserved for baby's milk.
Avoid overlooking the washing ma
chine. If the clothes can move about
freely during washing, the cleansing
action is more effective.
Light, airy clothes closets equipped
with hangers for dresses and coats
and racks for shoes and hats lengthen
the life of clothes and save time and
expense in caring for them.
Freshly picked green's may be canned
for meals next winter. Shrink them
first; then can either by using steam

cooking in the cans in hot water

Stressed in
| Fall Clothes
Scanning, Careful Fitting,
and Use of Many De-
tails Called For
BY Wilma La Vile

Even this early in the season
the general trends that will be
good for fall are pretty well
established. Fashion scouts
have been tabulating facts for
a long time and from these
facts we can trace trends. that
are sure to come.
The most important thing
about the clothes for fall, as
we have said before, is indi-
viduality, but an individuality
different from that of last fall
or spring. This year we ex-
press ourselves, 1t is true. but
our clothes must be wearable
first of all, and entirely lack
ing in any fussiness. This new
distinction Is achieved through
scanning, careful fitting and
through the use of many diff
ferent details, though they are
simple and don't break the
lines Of the dress nor do they
make it look elaborate.
AS part of this individuality,
our clothes are very becoming,
and there are enough different
silhouettes that we can each
find particularly suitable one
Furthermore, everything bout
the fall clothes has been
planned to make them n1orc
wearable so that they are flat,
tering, as we'll as lovely.
And again, they must be suit
able to the occasion for which
they are worn. For daytime,
not only are fabrics used such
as dull crepes and sheer wool
ems, which are distinctly day
time fabrics, but their cut and
treatment is dignified and sug-
gestive of the occasion for
which they are used. Their hem
lines are even and at the mid
die of the calf, or a little above,
according to the formality or
informality of the gown.
In the evening we court more
formality, poise and distinction
than we have for many years.
At the same time, evening
gowns are essentially feminine.
Many of them will have a statu-
esque appearance and a beauti-
full poise like that of a woman
of ancient Greece.
AS final requirement, all
fall costumes must be complete
Iy harmonious. with every de-
tail an important and well-linked
part of the whole. This is such
a wide topic though that we'll
take it up in detail at later
date.

last fall than they had been.
But not so high as they are this
fall. Now it's normal waistline
or as near normal as your
figure permits.
And this combination Of
longer skirt and higher waist
line gives a longer -limbed look
to the fall 1880 dress than that
owned by fashion 1929.
You'll like them better this
fall. You're more used to them.
Last year the. change seemed
abrupt. But by this time
you're ready for these new
dresses. And you'll like them.
They're beautiful!
Straighter Skirts
CD Skirts had an abrupt flare
in the fall of 1929. This year
they're straighter. though still
easily full. There's not so much
of a bell shape to them. The
fullneSS is more apt to be

placed, nearer the front than
the sides.
(4) Last year the fullneSs in
a skirt was released at a higher
point than it is this year. Now
though fullness may start
higher up. as in dresses with
pleats beginning at the waist
ine-it is released lower dowFe.
The pleatS that begin high
up are stitched down to a low
point on the skirt leav-
ing the hips still flat. And
this. too, helps give the skirt
a Straighter look.
Even Hemlines
Do you remember the uneven
hemlines of last fall? The
long drippy draperies, or points
or panels that hung below the
bottom Of the skirt? Not so
good were they for regular
daytime wear.
But this year. if there are
draperieS, they hang even with
the bottom of the skirt. And
the SmarteSt 1880 hemlines are
even all the way round.
Fall 1880 dresses are much
better to look at. Their trim
ming details are more. interest
ing. Not fuSsy, though. But
more feminine. More indi-
vidual.
Instead of a plain, straight
sleeve, an interesting cuff is
put on. Or bows or incrusta-
tions may be used.
Instead of the plain neckline
a becoming bit Of lingerie
trimming, a touch of contrast
ing color, or an interestingly
draped collar.
PleatS, scanning, >tucking and
draping are used on skirts,
bodiceS and sleeves. And they
take away that bare, hard look
dresses had for SO long.
Skirt Lengths
We said that skirts are
longer this fall than last. How
long? Well, fashionable women
settled that question this past
spring and summer. And
they're not making much
change.
For general daytime wear,
skirts reach to the middle calf
the roundest part Of the leg.
For informal daytime wear
(and this includes some Of the
more tailored as well as specta-
tor sports costumeS) the upper
calf length is best liked.
For active sports wear the
fashionable length is about two
inches below the knees. And
for formal evening wear, ankle
length-a graceful length that
shows the toe of the shoe in
front and the heel in back.
