the blouse top. TIE soft draped lace
bodice is lined throughout and the
skirt is gored for smart and becom-
ing fullness. The self-fabric frogs
that fasten it are conferred with
rhinestone clasps.
Choose any of the three dresses
illustrated and you will be showing
fine judgment. Regarded as founda-
ton dresses to serve as background
for respondent jewelry accents you
will find them Of the type that is
indispensable in the properly select
ed wardrobe. Granted that black is
always safe, and for the most part,
first choice, yet when it comes to
color one cannot but find that the
lace-plus-fabric gown carried out in
monotone blackberry hue, or tulip
black, or in wine, in deep forest
green or the new grayed blues or
green's, presents a very persuasive
argument.
There is another lace-and-fabric
idea that is simply taking the fash
ion world by storm. 1t is that of the
simple black sheer wool or crepe
afternoon frock that is trimmed with
narrow black lace frilled about the
neckline and sleeves, also about the
wide-faring skirt hemline. If there
be a bustle-back sash of self-dress
fabric, it too will be edged with wee
lace frills. 1t is a catchy theme,
we can assure you.
One cannot too urgently stress the
use of black lace. Perhaps the
Spanish influence in fashions has
brought about the present black
lace craze but whatever the cause
the fact remains that designers are
turning out an endless array of
dresses, blouses, jackets, even hats
and bags made of lace. A clever
fantasy is the huge black lace but
terfly bow worn at the decollette
neckline of the black velvet or crepe
dinner or formal evening gown,
caught with glittering jeweled clip
or brooch.

SOLITUDE
Edited by Edythe Mae Gordon

Did Won ever seek seclusion, when
reduced almost to despair?
And Won went on a long ramble, I'M
consciously, you knew not where?
Like a remorseful soul seeking, not
laughter, not gayety,
But ,erencness, like gold pursued;
There. imprisoned by the tranquil
echoes of solitude,
You shared the contents of your
worries
With the lonely stretch of the wilder
ness.
A lonely heart held precious secrets to
confess;
To the dismal stain of the dark forest,
Dabbrd with snow, clinging babe-like
lo the trees,
This huge eXpanse listened in earnest
To vom troubles and problems, with
divine ease.
Taor you found a friend; there, a
torn heart took to mend.
Did You ever seek solitude, where ma

Enclosed a gigantic canvas?

The use of skeins of ordinary wool
knitting yarn as trimming for sports
hats and as media for the very
smart turbans brings an amusing
note into the millinery field. How
ever, the daring venture has turned
out to be a huge success. The pic
ture demonstrates one way of
manipulating the wool skeins so as
to achieve smart turban. It is
suggested that colors be selected
that enter into the color scheme of
the costume. The ambitious young
woman pictured chooses two shades
of green, combined with white to
wear with high-necked frock of
rich hunters green. The view at
the top reveals the process of
manipulating the skeins. Below,
behold the finished product and the
proper way to wear it. y

COlOrful Turbans
Vie With Fur Hats
Frivolous Little Affairs That
Have Charm.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

You must have, and there's no
question about it, fur hat this win
ter. Match up your Persian lamb
coat or your silver fox wrap, your
spotted leopard sports coat, your
clipped beaver jacket or whatever
the fur of your winter wrap with
hat of the same fur. Everybody's
doing it until milliners are kept on
the qui vive rushing out orders.
And now about the gay little col
ored chapeauX that are so fashion
able. The turbans of shirred, tucked
or draped velvet are enhancing.
Frivolous little affairs are they but
they will so capture your fancy you
will be wanting to own a whole
wardrobe of gay little turbans.
Flower turbans! Now do not at
the mention of a flower turban vision
a conventional affair with pasted
down posies laid row to row. Most
of the new flower hats look like a
huge single flower balanced over the
forehead at a perilous angle. You
wonder what's anchoring them until
upon close inspection you discover
an ingenious bandeau arrangement
that fits firmly to the head, and if
not fitted bandeau, a snood that
holds secure. Imagine huge red,
red rose thus positioned, or a clus-
ter of vivid geraniums.
The appearance on the scene of
tiny white hats is high style MILL
merry news. Unexpectedly the pen
dulum of fashion swings back to
white accents with black, which
means white jewelry, white flowers
and white gloves.
An increasing number of in
triguing little feather hats are also
seen. These are rich with fam
boyant color. Novel, audacious
feather trims individualize them.

"NUTS TO YOU"
.......:*.-s..-+-s+s!I.

The days between Thanksgiving and
Christmas are the best of the "nutty"
days Of the year A full bowl of nuts
either with the shells on or sailed is
delightful company on a winters
evening. If you're ambitious you can
salt your own nuts. They make excel
lent gifts for your weekend hostesses
Of the summer whom you might wish to
remember during the holiday season.
Then for, various cakes and cookies
built up on nuts are just right for ac-
companying that cup of tea you serve a
"pop-caller" any time during the year.
SALTED NUTS: almonds blanch
first; filberts- blanch first; peanuts-raw;
remove skins first; pecans-use whole
nut meats.
For each cup Of nut meats, heat in
small frying pan, one half cup olive

lightly with salt.

carefully cut and fold in chocolate,
which has been slightly cooled, add two
thirds Of the ntu meats. Spread mix

Peg-Top Pockets
Hark Back to 1914

The peg-top silhouette, so reminis-
cent of the 1914 era, is being modi-
fed to very wearable lines in day
time woods and afternoon crepes of
silk, with the peg-top look created
by the proper placement of pockets.
Back fullness, which caused such
lot of conversation only little while
ago, has simmered down to a very
pleasant new silhouette movement
confined to cluster pleats, a flat bow
or shirring carefully placed.

Of greeting cards; l enjoy receiving
cards, too, and always get a thrill out
of the first card of the season; the
dashing about in department stores,
shopping up until the last minute; (say,
| wouldn't miss the hustle and hustle
of Kresge's at s AS on Christmas eve
for anything!) picking out Christmas
tree Just the right size and gaily trim
ming it on Christmas eve while my
husband entangles himself in tree light
ing) wrapping up the Christmas gifts
in sparkling cellOphanes and ribbons;
getting up early Christmas morn Eyes,
I still do) and peeking under the tree
before breakfast; eating turkey, cram
berry sauce and holly-bedecked plum
pudding in the dining room with the
living room cluttered with presents;
slipping an egg-nog whenever someone
drops in to see the tree. | enjoy all of
it, don't you?
But let me get on to the reason for
this article-to pass on a few personal
Christmas pointers: Solve your Christ
mas card problem by picking out a
certain date (mine is always Dec. 49,
as the deadline. Send all your Christ
mas cards out on that day and then
forget completely about them! Don't
buy another Christmas card! If you
receive greetings from a friend you
carelessly forgot, don't dash out and
buy him a card the last minutel Just
lot his name down on a list and send
him a New Years card on Dee 26 No
one really appreciates a card sent on
December 24-for it merely shows they
were last minute thoughts of the send
er Incidentally, it is considered chic
this year to make ones own Christmas
cards; there are several suggestions in
current wOmen's magazines. I tried it
this year-it's really fun, and economi-
cal, too! Don't buy expensive cards
for, as Emily Post said, it is nicer to
receive an inexpensive card sealed with
Sc stamp than an expensive card
stamped with the cutrate 112c stamp
Never spend more than you can
afford on Christmas gifts-or am I
Just wasting ribbon in writing this? If
YOU haven't vet discovered the marvels
of the five and tenneries, please do so
this year. Gifts for all the family NAV
be obtained at the V & X and you will
truly be amazed at the array of really
attractive and useful gifts displayed at
all counters! And don't be ashamed
of buying gifts at the & 10 for you'll
notice that it is always mobbed and a
lot of the mob is fu-coated. Even our
First Lady confesses to doing a large
part Of her shopping in the dime stores.
Then, too, if your gift is ineXpen-
sive, You can make it appear of more
value by wrapping it up attractively
and what with the festive wrapping
materials found at the dime stores,
there is no excuse for anyone receiving
gift unimaginatively wrapped
People are firing of the different"
colors featured in wrapping papers the
past years-the modernistic blues,
browns, blacks, and purples-and are
returning to the conventional reds and
green's And what with red being such
chic fashion color this season, | pre-
dict more presents will be bedecked in
red wrapping paper this year than ever
before

Touch Black With
Turquoise Accents

If you should feel the urge to vary
the black and gold program, try out
the idea of black with turquoise ac-
cents. This combination is being
featured via many fascinating inter-
pretations. Black dress, high-at-
front turquoise velvet turban, silver
necklace set with blue stones,
bracelet to match and the result is
a color ensemble you'll adore. For
a more subtle coloring wear teal
blue suede hat, and matching suede
gloves.

BEAUTY and ROMAN Gle

ten years older. Select a shade that is
becoming to you-white and the pale
pastels are most becoming to younger
skins. When you get older you will
have to watch the shades that bring
out your better features and do not
emphasize the lines and shadows in
your face Now is the time to wear all
the colors of the rainbow with a clear
conscience.
Makeup Should Be Natural
And when you have decided on the
color and style and selected your dress,
give serious thought to your cosmetics.
Your skin is young and clear enough
to have a definite beauty of its own.
Don't try to hide it under mask Of
makeup. Choose a powder that
matches your skin tone and use it
lightly to bring out the beauty of your
skin, not as a means of hiding your
natural coloring. Find rouge and
! lipstick that blend with your skin tone
and use these sparlngly as well. The
excitement of the occasion will give you
natural glow Remember, in your
effort to be sophisticated, that the most
charming women apply their makeup
so carefully that it is difficult to detect.
The secret lies in selecting the proper
shades and applying them carefully
and sparingly.
And don't forget your deodorant. If
YOU do. the unaccustomed excitement
might wreak havoc to your personal
charm and your brand new dress. 1t
only takes a few minutes and is some
thing that no fastidious woman of any
age can afford to overlook.
Be sure, too, that your hair is i'm
maculately clean and well-groomed.
Clean, shining hair is becoming in
almost any style it is worn. Wash it
or have it washed either the day of the
party or several days in advance of
the party according to your particular
requirements.
This is just a rough draft of some
of the externals. In my next column
I'll give you some hints which / hope
will add to your poise and peace of
mind In the meantime, if you have
any particular questions, let me know.

Yes, her mirror reflects her chic
LOOK. To achieve the perfect "look, I"
it's the correct and intriguing ac-
cessories that accomplish most of
it. In this instance, the hat worn
by this fair one is one of the new
small styles with draped jersey brim
and fur crown. 1t is trimmed with
fy-away multi-colored feathers. The
color splurge of this intriguing
chapeau adds pep to her black seal
