stockings to realize how out of the
question the revival of really son1ber
hosiery would be at the present time.
Very dark stockings such as the off,
black tones are favored only in the
sheerest mesh, so that the tone when
worn Is actually very far removed from
black Dark-brown stockings too, are
out Of the question save when of the
really transparent sort.
THE rule that gloves and stockings
should be chosen to match no
longer holds. When dark gloves are
chosen for evening the stockings are
usually fairly light, the tone depending
on the color of the dress.
With pastel-toned dresses stockings
OF q soft flesh tone are the best selec-
ton, and are usually combined with
silk shoes to match the dress or shoes
of silver or gold kid. For the informal
dinner dress-the sort of thing that you
may wear in the late afternoon and on
through the evening-black suede opera
pumps are an excellent choice, though
black suede and MORE is also admirable.
Earrings are a suitable addition to
the evening ensemble-those that drop
almost to the shoulder being chosen to
harmonic with the long lines Of the
dress. Necklaces, too. show the infiu-
ence OF longer lines since the so-called
choker has been generally displaced by
the necklace long enough to make an
oval line at the front-a pointed line
when there Is q pendant to weigh 1t
down.

BIZ MARY MARSHALL.

" OR countless ages it has been per-
- fectly normal for the perfectly
normal woman to take 9 keen
i interest IN dress. Free to fol-
low her own tnclinations, every
young girl would rather have hundred
dollars to spend on clothes than several
hundred dollars to put in the bank.
Without perhaps thinking Of 1t in that
way, she realizes that the hundred dol
lars spent for clothes-wisely spent, of
course-is an excellent investment. No
one has to argue with her to persuade
her that 1t is to her advantage to buy
clothes and accessories that make her
look as attractive as possible.
But not 30 very long ago it was
customary 70 look upon a keen interest
in dress as a sign Of vanity, and many
women, young and old, never spent
time and money buying and making
pretty things to wear without feeling q
shadow of guilt. They felt as If they
were selfish or frivolous or vain. Now,
fortunately. there prevails a more SEN
sible attitude toward dress. While a
love of clothes may, Of course, be carried
to extremes, sensible people realize
everywhere that attractive clothes and
carefully chosen accessories are prac-
tically as necessary as good food and
proper shelter. And the girl who
starts out In her business, social or
matrimonial career unwilling to spend a
fair amount Of time and money on
clothes starts out under heavy handi-
cap.

THIS season clothes seem to make an

THIS season clothes seem TO make an
especially strong claim on the In
terest OF women everywhere. No mat
ter how busy or preoccupied they may
be with other matters, they realize that
they cannot afford to go along much
further without taking a thorough in
ventory Of their wardrobe, discarding
dresses and accessories that are out Of
date and unbecoming and buying in
their stead things that are part and
parcel Of today. One cannot hope to be
an alert and up-to-date member of the
preSent-day business world wearing q
lead in the social life of 1880 wearing
accessories of the vintage OF 1929.
SO when we bid you seriously to con-
slider your gloves, your handbags, your
shoes, your stockings and the dozen
and-one little things that go to make
the complete ensemble, we are not sug-
costing that you become selfish or friv-
olous or self-centered. We are Just
urging you to give these seemingly small
things Of life the consideration they
deserve.
POSSIBLY you will have to readjust
your dress budget to meet changed
conditions Of fashion. Almost certainly
you will have to make q more generous
outlay for gloves than you have within
the past 10 or Is years, because gloves
are now considered an indispensable ad-
Junct for the formal dinner or dance
costume, and for the daytime ensemble
gloves play more important role than
they have played for many years
Gloves are not elaborate. In fact, the
fancy. fussy glove is practically a thing
OF the past. But gloves are varied, and
TO meet the demands of the various
obligations Of the day and evening you
must possess gloves of varied sorts.
Longer skirts have by no means
diminished the importance Of stockings
in the wardrobe, in fact the slightly
faring skirts of the present season
seem to demand closer attention than
ever to faultless hosiery.
Undoubtedly, the tendency is in the
direction of darker stockings. Flesh
tones that you considered appropriate
for street wear II months ago seem con-
spicuously light. But you have only to
put on q pair of opaque black silk

Dinner Requirements

THE notion seems to prevail that to
be asked TO dinner Is o particular
sort of social honor. You may be in
vited to afternoon tea, to a bridge party,
to q reception, and at home. or even a
luncheon, and the honor has not been
paid you that Is paid when you are ask
ed for dinner.
Here is the reason: When hostess
gives card party or any Of the other
usual sorts of entertainment, she usually
considers only whether you move in the
same set as she and whether you and
she exchange Inequalities. When she
gives a dinner, she usually selects the
most entertaining of her friends-those
she thinks viii add to the general mer-
riment Of the occasion She certainly
does not ask people whom she considers
dull or stupid.
So you see 1t is an honor to be asked
to dinner and you should treat the in
vitation accordingly.
To begin with, get there on timeI

ners, nowadays, and some Of us think

Coat Lengths.

While coats for daytime wear are
usually long enough to cover the dress,
several of the important French dress
makers are showing coats very little
shorter than the skirts with which they
are worn, SO that there Is nothing at
all contrary to the present mode in
wearing coat that barely escapes COW
ering the dress. For afternoon wear
some of the new costumes show three
quarter length coats over dresses of the
conventional 8-inch length, and for eve-
ming one may wear coats of almost any
length. They vary from the short
jacket OF the sort we have worn this
Summer all the way to those that are
made with trains to be worn with the
trained evenina dress.

But 1t just happens to be astonishingly
effective with a black fur suit and q

For evening, q chiffon stock in the
loveliest Of soft sunny yellows has a
pearl beaded border in classically simple

itself on the chiffon yellow gown, by
forming graduated straps that run away
to nothing below the armholes of the
gown.
For the girl who happens to be fairly
handy with the knitting needles, or the

be made this Winter. None is more
charming than the plaid taffeta, in the
gayest OF Scotch patterns, which makes
a lovely stock. It should be wide and
short, with the ends hand-hemmed or
fringed. And it should tie a little to
one side under the chin, with It's wide

Worn with black velveteen outfit of

Scotch skirt, it is stunning.
All OF these can be made at home

Lobster and Mushroom.

To cook lobster after one of the ap-
proved methods 1t must first be boiled
and cut into fair-sized pieces, but not
minced. For three one-pound Holsters
allow the quantity of sauce given below,
increasing proportionately as may be
necessary. Put tablespoonful of but
ter in a chafing dish, when melted add
a teaspoonful Of finely chopped onions.
When they begin to color add one-half
pint Of Spanish sauce, 10 fresh mush-
rooms which have been peeled and cut
into bits, and salt and pepper. Stir all
together and let cook slowly 10 min
utes, then add the lobster, a tablespoon
full of parsley and dash of nutmeg.
Boil five minutes longer and serve. To
make the Spanish sauce melt one ounce
of butter, add to 1t one ounce of flour
and stir over the fire until colored
good brown. Add one-half pint of
stock, one-half a carrot, one onion and
a stalk of celery. Stir until it begins
to boil, let stew slowly for half an hour
and strain through fine sieve.

Wide Variety Is Seen
in Styles for This
Sc ason- Stunning
Combinations Which
May Be Made-For-

Use.

You must take stock of style this
Autumn. The smartest way YOU
can treat your throat is TO swathe it In
one Of the new and tremendously chic
stocks.
The advantage Of this particular
vogue is that 1t lends itself so trinity to
the use Of wide variety of scarfs, COL
lars and ties. 1t is a style that Is the
very smartest on earth, when done
right. 1t is becoming to both the very
young and the rather older woman.
Perhaps as much as any one indi-
vidual touch could be, this mode Of
tying the neck treatment neatly about
the throat is typical of the new fem
mime mode. It sums it up, In fact.
There is nothing boyish in the least
about the stock. 1t is utterly and raw
ishingly woman's gesture
There are scarfs that tie in Ascot
fashion for all kinds of suits. dresses
and fur coats. They are warm and
comfortable If you happen to have a
coat that is too open at the neck. They
are colorful and lightweight when made
Of silk and fitted inside tall, luxurious
fur collar.
You can make your own scarfs this
Autumn more easily than at any time
lately. For they run either the straight
of the goods or across 1t and do not
demand the huge amount that the
triangular tie did
The stock vogue runs from morning
to night. There are gay wooden, tweed
and silk ScarfS of this type for early
morning wear, for Office
Then there are the more formal fur
scarfs Of the stock variety that dress
you up for the afternoon event. And
last and newest there is the dainty
chiffon scarf for evening which, despite
the deep and formal decolletage Of your
gown, you tie in Ascot fashion about
your neck and raise your head proudly
for having done so.
One of the smartest stocks Of the
season is a. white galyak stock. made
