Cloth sleeves that are patterned all
over with applied huge polka dots
of fur present an attractive new
note. Then there are bindings and
borderings galore together with
swatches here and there in unex-
pected places that make for decora-
tive and amusing fur fantasies.
However, not by any means does
all the glory go to the furs that
trim. They tell but half the story
Of the enchanting fashions under
way for the new season.. It's the
perfect teamwork that carries on So
SO between luxurious wool weaves
plus dramatic fur trimmings.
That the forthcoming is going to
be season of luxuriant fabric there
is no doubt and the new vintage of
wooden materials gives emphasis
to this forecast. It is said that
plaids will be more conspicuously in
the mode than ever, and when we
say plaids as now are it means as
Respondent an array as ere eye has
seen. For the girl going away to
school the cape costume pictured in
the inset panel is enough to excite
the envy of every sorority sister on
the campus. The cape is fashioned
of strikingly handsome wool plaid.
It tops a two-piece navy wool suit.
The suit can be worn alone and the
cape with other costumes. The fur
that collars it adds chic and charm
to high degree.
In regard to the grand and glori-
GUS woolens that will feature for fall
and winter it is said that vertical
stripes in raised effects or contrasts.
of yarn are scheduled among
weaves that will prove foremost in
fashion. There are many messy
worsted crepes too that are highly
attractive in the new wool fabric
showings.

Boiled Frosting.-If you have
trouble making boiled frosting, try
boiling the sugar and water until
it forms soft ball in the water,
instead of till it spins a thread.
Most people cook the sugar and
water too long.
Lemon Juice in Dressing.-Use
lemon juice instead of vinegar in
dressing for lettuce, and so in
crease your vitamins.
Removing a Splinter.-When a
splinter has gone very deep into
the flesh try extraction by steam.
Heat wide-mouthed bottle and
fill it two thirds full of very hot
water and place under the injured
spot. The suction draws the flesh
down when little pressure is
used, and the steam in a few min
utes removes both splinter and in
fammation. This method is par
ticularly good when the splinter
has been in for some time.
Lasting Paper Dolls.-Children
like to play with paper dolls. Try
pasting them on coarse muslin and
they will last much longer

"A N INGENIOUS and out-of-the-or-
4 n binary use of fur trimmings is
in prospect for fall. AS a matter of
fact, the vogue has not really been
held back until the arrival Of cool
days, for during the summer, suits
and ensembles of daintiest, sheerest
woods in rapturous pastels highlight-
ed with touches of delicately toned
fox have held high favor with won-
en- who pride themselves on keeping
pace with the mode.
Then, too, coming events cast
their shadows before" in advance
midseason collections which include
many fascinating ensembles done in
alluring woods that are enhanced
with lovely, lightsome fur after the
manner of the stunning costume il
Illustrated. Castor of Paris designed
this handsome beige wool crepe en-
semble trimming it with exquisite
color-matched fox.
From beginnings such as evil
denced in this fascinating ensemble
the vogue for fur trimmings is rap
idly developing into, a passion for
unique and highly decorative treat
ments that will manifest itself in full
force as the autumn and winter style
program unfolds.
Preparatory to the coming call for
fur trims that are distinctively new
and out of the ordinary, designers
have put on their thinking caps in
order to play up the idea in in
genious ways for it is said that en-
phasis will be placed on unique
touches of fur that have dramatic
appeal. For instance, such in
triguing effects will be worked as
bow-knot appliques of fur, bands of
fur that outline the fronts of jackets
forming pockets in cunningly &C.
centric ways. The cuff-muff idea
is cute trick that cuffs bishop
sleeves in fur fared from a tight
wrist. The cuffs form a rnlff when
the hands are clasped together.
Then again the fur yoke, front or
back, is worked in varied ways.

WASHINGTON.-Thereh have been
so many instances in history where
one act or one expression, or one
omission, has changed the course Of
events that it is necessary here to
make mention only that such things
happen. Everyone has seen them.
In only few instances, however,
have those on the scene been able
to make a guess as to the far
reaching consequences. On the 9TH
er hand, a number can be recalled
which obviously were going to raise
cain from the start. It is one of
the latter type about which / write
now.
When John l.. Lewis burst forth
with angry violence and referred
to Vice President Garner as. "a la
bor-baiting, poker-playing, whiskey-
drinking, old man." he wrote "finis"
for his long career as labor lead
er. Even with his ability to shake
his bushy hair and wrinkle his bee
tied eyebrows and evolve the most
biting of all language into descrip-
ton of his enemies, even with this
capacity and a million or so work.
ers paying him dues, John Lewis is
through as a political influence in
behalf of organized labor.
1t is not meant here that Lewis
will not continue to shout and tear
his hair and accuse everyone of be-
ing unfair to organized labor; he
still has his vicious tongue, and he is
still president of the Congress of In
dustrial Organizations. AS long as
he has that title he can go places
and make speeches and drive home
threats and yell "bloody MURDER"
and, of course, he will get newspa-
pers to, print his statements. What
I am saying is, however, that Lewis
has created such resentment around
the capitol building as seldom has
been seen, and instead Of having
weasel congressman obey his die
tates, their greetings to him here
after are likely to be of the thumb
to-nose variety.
