this winter. No matter how much
economy you may have to practice
on other items of dress, when it
comes to furs you cannot afford to
stint if you would move and have
your being as a shining light in the
pageantry that illumines the winter
style horizon.
It's not alone that this seasons
flrs are sounding the luxury note in
accents loud and clear, but the fact
that fur treatments are so exciting
ly Individual, so in the no-two-alike
class so to speak, is arousing an
enthusiasm for furs that knows no
bounds. Everything that can be
made of fur is being made of fur.
There is a decided move in favor
of wearing separate fur pieces.
Many women are buying a smart
cloth suit (velvet for formal after
noons) also an equally smart top
coat, with thought in mind of glori-
flying these units with fur neck
pieces, muffs and hats throughout
the coming months.
Fashion encourages the idea of the
detachable fur by offering an end
less array of accessories from which
to choose. At your own sweet will
you can don a huge Snowy fur stole
or a quaint tippet (once on the old
fashion list, now very new and
ultra). Perhaps you prefer one of
the youthful sailor collars of fur
which is the newest thing out in the
way Of neckpieces. If your fancy
runs to wide revers of fur or to neat
and trim military collar effects you
are equally sure to win smiles of
approval from the powers that be
in fashion realms.
You can have fur go up and down

Pastel Woods Are
Growing in Favor
Increasing Urge for Color
New Fashion Trend.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

To be sure the black dress con-
tlnues to be smartly in fashion.
However, there is a noticeable in
creasing urge for color, so what?
Simple daytime frock of pastel wool
is the answer. If you have not as
yet acquired this coveted possession,
do it now!
The styling of these attractive
dresses, made of perfectly beautiful
woolens in delectable pastels,
stresses simplicity and tailored eff
fects. Skirts are pleated, tucked,
gored and flared. Bodices fit subtly
accenting the new laced-in waist.
Necklines are for the most part
close about the throat or square or
V-shaped and pockets galore are
used in a decorative way.
If you buy fashionable gray, wear
silver jewelry with it. A silver kid
skin belt gives an air of distinction.
Wine colored accessories or deep
forest green accents, or brown de-
tails go well with the new gray
woolens.
Natural color woods, light beige
and old gold are also among the
wanted kind. Amber jewelry is
striking with dresses in these colors.
Moss green is a favorite color for
the new wool dress. With it wear
hat, gloves and belt of moss green
suede, plus jewelry set in green
stones. If you want contrast try
dark brown accessories.

Bruyere Likes Kid
For Highlighting

Nine. Bruyere is quoted by Miss
Jane Alden, Chicago stylist, as say
ing: 81 like kid for highlighting an
otherwise strictly tailored suit. APP
pliqued pockets, shoulder insets, or
cuffs give drama to the drabbiest
fabric, and also add wearability to
the suit. Belts in kid are always eff
fective and the softness keeps the
waistline at it's slenderest without
adding bulk. In my winter collec-
ton launched high-laced boots with
colored kid tops or separate spats,
with matching handbags which may
serve as muffs to give an all-black
ensemble that touch of color it
needs"

Jane Alden, Chicago stylist, ar
rived from Paris on the flying Dixie
Clipper recently wearing these new
back-lacing kid CATERS by Bruyere.
Thus new 'high' in footwear has
been launched. Above in the pic
ture Miss Alden wears also a bump
er brim kid hat in petroleum green
to match her CATERS. 1t is not only
that these CATERS are the "last
word'' in footwear to add chic detail,
especially since Nine. Bruyere
creates them in colors to tune to
the mood of ones costume ensemble,
but when questioned as to the prac-
ticability of CATERS, Miss Alden de-
clared that they we're grand for
keeping mud splashes off silk hose
on rainy days.

Fox Trimmed Wraps
Smack of Luxury

Luxurious white fox and deep
jewel-toned velvet are combined to
make a new group of magnificent
evening wraps. These fitted and
iared coats with their modified back
fullness are particularly effective in
black, carnelian red and purple.
Some of them boast full-length tux
edo bands of fox, left open at the
waist to permit the hands to be in
serted muff-fashion, and others have
yokes of white fox or back plas-

Charming Costume
For Casual Sports

A gay and casual sports costume
is one which combines a beige

The coat has a removable parka
hood lined with navy and cherry red
plaid to match the skirt. Illustrat-
ing the corseleted influence, the
skirt has an extra wide waistband
measuring at least four inches
across. Navy blue shoes and gloves
and a cherry red brushed wool
sweater are the accessories.

SHALL WE SEIZE BRITISH ISLANDS?

The proposal that Great Britain and
France be required to surrender their
Western Atlantic insular possessions in
part payment of their war debts to the
United States has been made by United
States Senator Bennett Champ Clark, of
Missouri, and Ernest Lundeen, of Min
nesota, both members of the Military At
fairs Committee.
When we read about this proposal
about two weeks ago, we doubted that it
was seriously advanced. Recently, how
ever, Senator Lundeen, in Senate debate,
suggested that if the United States armed
forces took over the British West Indies
''there wouldn't be shot fired" because
the British and French "are pretty busy
on the Western Front"
Aside from the fact that the proposal
is in line with the aggressive tactics of Hit
Ter, Stain and the japanese, and involves
the use of force as national policy, which
virtue of the Kellogg Pact, the proposal is
based upon a morality in international af-
fairs that carries an odor.
There may be virtue in the sugges-
ton that the United States acquire the
British and French islands in this hemis-
phere and that we pay the British and
French for them, the payment to be
credited on the war debts This is one
proposal, but it is not to be mixed up with
the suggestion that the islands be seized
by force.

Local fishermen report bringing

at present. No kingfish have
been landed but one commercial
angler predicts the silvery fight
er and much-desired king" will
be caught around November 10.
However, the first real "norther"
of the season will bring them on
the run. Much has been written
about the fact that Peter Roberts,
local fish dealer, and Willard
Baker, commercial fisherman,
cannot swim despite the fact they
have been around the water all
their lives, but now we must add
another waterfront character to
the list. He is st. Clair Edgar,
who revealed the unusual fact
yesterday afternoon. st. Clair
declares he doesn't know how to
propel himself in the briny deep
and II don't want to learn. !.

STOP SIGNS A NECESSITY

There are two kinds of automobile
drivers in Key West. One is the stranger
who doesn't know local conditions and
must be informed. The other is the citizen
who knows local conditions, but needs to
be reminded to observe the ordinary rules
of safety. We don't know which is the
worst driver at intersections-the stranger
who doesn't know he is approaching a
through street or the citizen who knows
and ignores the fact.
In any event. there have been several
collisions recently at street intersections.
In virtually every case a stranger went
through a stop street without stopping,
while the citizen, forgetting that strangers
are not familiar with local conditions,
failed to observe the rule of caution The
citizen knows he has the right of way but
it does him no good to have the right of
way if he ends up in the hospital The
safe thing to do is to slow up at inter-
sections.
The city has an obligation, too. 1t
should paint STOP signs at dangerous in
tersections. They should be be so placed
that the stranger can see and heed
them, that the citizen may be reminded
of the danger. Virtually all the signs
painted or the streets a year or so ago
have been obliterated. There never have
been enough proper markers on poles at
intersections here. That's where the aver
age out of town driver looks for stop signs
to his right at the near side of the street
crossing. That's where he also looks for
signs to show him that he is approaching
a one way street. Duval street, our only
one-way street, never has been properly
marked as such, with the result that sew
eral strange cars are tagged down every
day because they are violating the traffic
laws
The Citizen suggests that our city Of
ficials make the marking of streets one
of the first orders of business after cleo
tion 1t would be unfair to ask them to
do this necessary work at this time. All
we can do is hope and pray that someone
is not killed or seriously injured in one of
those constantly recurring accidents at
street intersections.

quired" two goats, one nanny,

Over taxation defeats its own pur-
pose. In New York high cigarette tax

q consequent loss instead of gain in tax
revenue Besides on account of these re-
duced sales the 10000 tobacco retailers in

are clamoring for repeal of the onerous
tax. Whenever money is needed for a

Of is increased taxation, never once re-

"He who rides the tiger better not

Chinese prOverb. Getting astride a tiger
might result as disastrously as getting off
the beast, while getting on a bear may be
comparatively easy, but in getting off it is
advisable, apparently, to hold on to the
tail. However, bears have such small
tails that it is difficult to retain a hold,
AMI Hitler will find that out and regret
