For Accessory
Ensembles

We've heard that some Of the
large stores there, too, are try
ing to help customers with this
years coat problem by selling
separate fur collar aud cuff
sets, suitable for daytime or
evening wraps. Besides all this,
we've heard rumors of that
very exclusive and expensive
new fur fashion Of hat and
gloves to match!
Practical and Necessary
In looking for accessory en-
sembles this week, however,
we've kept in mind above all,
practicality. We've tried to
find things that everyone could
afford to have. And we we're
so successful that we think
we'd have difficulty, ourselves,
doing without these two sets
of accessories! Look at the
ensemble illustrated in the first
sketch, for instance. A sleeve.
less waistcoat jacket, scarf, and
bag, that will go with almost
any informal costume N your
wardrobe-will doll 1t up-will
make it look like new!
All three pieces of the set
are made of "Shammy-velour"
"a velvet soft, dull surface
fabric that's right in fashion.
The collarless waistcoat blouse
has six metal clips fastening its
surplice closing. They look like
Schiaparelli's, and of course
they are. You can't see the
scanning in the back that causes
the snugly cinched-in waist.
But you'll admit you've never
seen a smarter.looking waist
coat, surely-if you notice that
one slit pocket, slanted so
fetchingly, the way a waistcoat
pocket should.
Bag and Scarf to Match
And you couldn't want a
nicer, roomier envelope bag for
any daytime occasion. 1t has
an inside fastener and an out
side pocket on the back, be.
sides the strap. And around
the edges of the flap run sew
eral lines of contrasting stitch
ing to match the trim the
scarf has at both ends. The
scarf itself is that most practi-
cal and popular Ascot type
and is it warm! In fact, with
this ensemble set you can in
crease the warmth of any cos
tune by about 100 per cent.

fur department. And again
Schiaparelli gets the credit. For
she it was who designed this
pellerine and muff set in so
practical style that it will
absolutely renovate any woolen
dress or suit you care to wear
it with.
You can see from the sketch
below that the pellerine Is like
a shoulder capelet with a little
stand-up collar. It's sometimes
called a tippet. But the COM
pletely individual touch to this
one is the fabric band joining
each side, and turning where it
falls to the waist to allow belt
to slip through and hold it
down. This fabric part, with
any kind of fur you choose, is a
plain, rough, spongy woolen,
matching the color of the fur,
whether it's ocelot, as sketched,
or Hudson seal, brown kid, or
black caracul or lapin. And the
little melon-shaped, saddle muff
goes right along. It's part of
the most unusual and utterly
desirable fur ensemble this town
can boast,

You cannot always tell how

The Marry-Go'
Round
By Helen Rowland
The ChOke-Weed

'If the Eugene hats, slender
waists, and long curls are to
be followed by bustles, ruffles
and petticoats," writes "A
Masculine Optimist," "let us
hope that they will bring back
the helpless, lovable, clinging
woman so dear to the male
heart-and that the modern
young Amazons will disappear
forever"
Well, the Amazons seem to
be on the way out. But the
Clinging Vine is still a long
way off. And we are wonder
ing if she would really appeal
to the modern man, if she
should re-appear.
There are times when moth
ing is so sweet to a man as
the sensation of a pair of soft
arms around his neck and the
clinging dependence of a help
less woman. It is the most ex-
quisite sensation that life holds
for a he-man.
And, then, again, there are
times when a. woman's arms.
are more like tentacles, her
body like a barnacle, and her
weight like a millstone.
The clinging vine with the
Strangle-hold is insidious. It is
only when a man goes to re-
move one Of these, that he re-
alizeS what a JOB it is. Some
women wrap themselves around
and around a man like band
ages around a mummy-until
they paralize his activity and
can embalm him without his
faintest protest.
There are times when a man
loves to have a woman sit at
his feet and ask him questions
that start the flow of his bril-
liant wit and intellect; but 1t
is NOT when he is changing a
tire in the hot sun, shifting
gears on a bad grade. shaving
with a blunt razor, or figuring
out his income tax.
ConSoling a timid, clinging
woman who is "afraid in the
dark" is a delicious adventure.
But having her wrap herself
around you and scream, when
the Car Skids, or when the
brakes won't work, skaters a
lot of your sweet illusions.
Helping a pair Of cute, little
feet across the stream, binding
up a dainty ankle, or catching
a graceful swaying form is di-
verting-and even carrying 100
pounds Of feminine inertia for
a few yards has it's compensa-
tions.

A complete medical exami-
nation 20 years ago was a
comparatively simple affair. A
recital of the symptoms, an
examination by the doctor
looking, feeling, pounding and
listening-to all regions Of the
body, a urinalysls, a simple
blood examination and q rec
ord of blood pressure, and that
was all. Ten years ago the
X-ray had come into its own
and it was necessary to add
an array of such Photographic
displays.
The latest development has
been to bring in methods and
machines from the physiologi-
cal laboratory. This has meant
an entirely new viewpoint. UP
to 10 years ago most of our
thought was bent upon deter
mining whether there was any
anatomical change in the body.
Was there scar tissue in the
lungs? Was there shriveled
heart valve? Were certain parts
of the kidneys destroyed? Were
there stones in the gall blad-
der? All these things are ana-
tomical changes.
Science of Function
Physiology is the science of
function of the actions of or
gans. And function leaves no
discernible anatomical change
on an organ. A contraction
wave passes across a muscle
and when it is gone the mus.
Gle is the same as it was be-
fore.
A gland in the stomach
secretes a few drops of diges-
tive fluid, and when 1t is fin
ished the gland is to all sights
and purposes the same as it
was.

Advice to the

An Authority on Problems OF
Love and Marriage

She Has No Friends
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm just young girl with a
fair amount of good looks but
I can't dance or sing and, al
though I'm very sociable, /
have no personality. I never
get a chance to meet any boys
because 1 never go anywhere,
for the reason that I can't
dance and I'm afraid I'll never
learn. I'd appreciate any ad-
vice you could give.
L1LACS.
I am sorry you did not tell
me whether or not you had
finished school. However, I
assume that you are about six
teen, and perhaps have two or
three years of school life still
before you. In that case, I
would suggest that you take an
active interest in everything
you possibly can that is going
on in the school. You will
then come in contact with
both boys and girls, and will
soon lose your bashfullness.
Why not ask some girl to
teach you to dance? The most
important thing is for you to
20 out and mingle with friends,
or invite them to your own
home. After a while you will
find things much easier. You
mustn't stand back in the
corner, however, and wait for
people to take an interest in
you.

that's an outworn idea now.
That is, unless we have it done
in the new way-the hat as part

All this season, and for sew

how accessories should match.
Fashion likes them so. We try

A Dllnd lead Is one MADE IN
the dark, because partner has
not bid. A direct lead is one
made of the suit bid by partner.
A substitute lead is an opening
lead of your own strong suit, al
though partner has bid.
To put your partner on more
of an even plane with the de-
clarer your leads must be as
Illuminating as possible. The
declarer has no partner to de-
ceive; he may false-card all he
wishes, but you rarely can af-
ford deceiving your partner.
In several ways no-trump
leads differ widely from leads
against trump makes. In the
former case your best chance to
defeat a contract is by estab-
fishing your longest and strong
est suit, using high cards in
other suits to gain entry to
your hand and to stop the free
run of declarer's long suits.
Against trump makes you con-
serve your quick tricks, as you
seldom can hope to win any
others.
The hand given below illus
trates an important fact rela-
tive to no trump leads: When
you hold two suits of equal
length and approximately equiva-
lent strength, reserve the suit
headed by the higher card of
entry, and lead the other suit.

Ten Months Work 6,OOO Men in 47 Plants in 38 Cities

Ten months work by an organi- zation of 5000 men in 47 plants in 3S cities brought to completion this week the first stage of the tremen- dous task of making Sunshine Wit amin-D available to American families in their daily bread. The Kansas City plants of the General Baking company, last of AZ Bond bakeries to do so, went into pro- duction of Sunshine Vitamin-D bread and thereby raised the sup ply to approximately 1000, 1000 loayes day.

Now Is The Time The
 Doughnut Jar Filled
Golden Brown, Crisp and Crunchy If Properly Fried
How to Fry Douehnuts

AAVvs " ~ A3 A$OeAR eeAa4at9
 Although success in doughnut making largely depends on the type of lard one uses, yet the method of frying, often spells success or failure. Having the lard too hot will cause the crust to be a dark brown before, the inside of the aoughnut is cooked. If the lard is not hot enough the doughnuts will be fat soaked. Therefore correct temperature of baking is very im- portant.
 A temperature of between 36O and 370 degrees F. is optimum. If you do not have, fat thermomet- CT, put a cube of bread in the fat, when you think it is hot enough, and if 1t turns golden brown in so seconds the temperature is right for the doughnuts. Adding too many doughnuts at one time lowers the temperature and results in fat soaked product, therefore add only a few at a time. When the doughnut is brown on one side turn and brown the other side. It will take about 1-2 minutes to cook each side.
 Never turn doughnut twice as 1t will have a tendency to absorb fat. Never let the fat reach the smoking point. When fat smokes 1t is usually too hot for use; smck- ing has a tendency to split the fat into its components. making 1t less readily digested.
 Having the dough too soft or too stiff will produce fat soaked doughnuts. Deep fat fried foods are easily digested if properly cooked.

Dressing Up
 the Party Cake
What Is a Party Without a
 Decorated Cake?

{ What is party-any kind of a party-without a cake? If your decorative art ability has never been developed, you needn't worry about the cake not looking the way party cakes should look. There are some tricks which make up for any lack of skill-and they save time and money, too. Here are a few of the hints in the De- cember issue of McCalps Magazine: ::
 Don't let fittings of icing dis courage you; they are not needed on a family -size' cake which can be served, as usual, on an attrac- tive plate or tray.
 But if you must have a cake two or three times the usual size. follow the caterers method and put 1t on a smooth board about two inches wider all around than the cake. This board may be con- cealed with icing or with large lace paper dolly or with a garland of soft green foliage. The fiuting is a finishing touch put on with a pastry tube after the icing on the cake and board has set slightly. 4 "The decorations come from the SdAuys btOACs OA tb AItSb P6ROL P&s- tern, the exact size of the top of a cake, experiment with materials until you find a design you like. Then with this beside you on the table ice. cake and. while the frost- ing is still soft, transfer the model piece by piece, from the paper to the cake. Simple, isn't 1t?
 "The next time you want cake appropriate for wedding anniver- sary. Q shower luncheon, a chil- dren's party, or a bridge tea, inves- tigate the stock at your grocer's and confectioner's. Nuts. candied fruits and peel, peppermint hearts, colored drops, chocolate shot, silver dragees, angelica, and citron will help you to. work out many color schemes and designs.

ply shows the quick recognition by the baking industry of the first revolutionary development. in the nutritional value of bread, infiu- enced by the instant success that has everywhere attended the intro- duction of the Sunshine Vita min-D loaf. Doctors, dentists and dietitians have welcomed 1t, and housewives, especially mothers of young children, are enthusiastic.
 "The importance of having Vita min-D obtainable in bread may be realized from the curious fact that of all six vitamins, D is at present the only one that science has been able to reproduce and put into Food. The Identification and final capture of Vitamin-D challenged the genius and held the attention of some of the best minds in nu- tritional research for ten years. Why did they concentrate on Vita min-D? Because there was never any lack of the other five vitamins in natural table foods, whereas the scarcity of Vitamin-D had been 8 matter of real concern"
 In conclusion, MT Pease said, "The first sub-license under the Steenbock patent for the manufac- ture of Sunshine Vitamin-D bread has been granted to Spaulding Bak- cries. Inc, of Binghamton, N. Y. Others will be awarded as rapidly as practical. Our city is fortunate in being the first to have it."

How we'll I can remember the joy my sister and I had "raiding'' grandmother's doughnut crock. Such doughnuts, golden brown. crisp, crunchy and full of flavor. They were never fat soaked and kept their delightful freshness for more than a week for in those days, doughnut baking meant an all day job and not 8 few dozen but perhaps a hundred were baked and stored. Now, of course, we too have doughnut baking days. but in- stead of having to render the de- liciously rich lard that gives flavor to, the doughnuts, the homemaker need only go to the corner store and purchase the desired amount of lard in clean sanitary carton or pail.
 Doughnuts to be really delicious should always be made with lard. ali the so called lard substitutes now on the market are lacking in the delightful richness offered by lard alone, If you have never fried doughnuts in deep pure lard you have a real pleasure awaiting you.
