UNDOUBTEDLY the most out
- standing characteristic of smart
est winter fashions is the elegance
and superiority of the materials en-
ployed in their making. Women of
discriminating taste find their fond
est hopes realized in the high dis
tinction impaired to costumes by
choice fabrics styled with classic
simplicity Add fur opulence and
you have sounded the keynote to
which the better part of the present
style program tunes into uncertain
terms.
Especially in the matter of wooden
weaves have all previous records
been exceeded with versatile tex
lures, gorgeous colorings and fasci-
mating novelty. Never before in the
annals of textile history has there
been such superb showing in fab
ric output. The existing vogue for
three-piece costume suits, and the
style prestige accorded the new soft
ly styled dressmaker coats have in
tensified spontaneous enthusiasm
and interest in handsome sterling
quality woolens.
Above in the illustration is pre-
sented stunning coat with the
dressmaker look. Softly styled as a
dress is this new type now coming
into prominence. The patrician
model here shown has a nice sort
of formality partly because of its
softly sculptured lines and partly
because of the fine 100 per cent wool
Forstman fabric, called "velperla,"
of which it is made. The color
"graingold" is also news. It gives
one the feeling of autumn tinted
birch leaves. Golden hued woolens
and coppery tones and tints are
being played up in all their glory,
especially with the very smart spot
ted furs and with beaver trims. You
will love the texture and feel of
the material that fashions this coat.

Woolknits Adapted
To All Occasions
Now Suitable for Evening,
Daytime Wear.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

New and startling things are hap
penlng in the fashion industry-but
none is more thrilling and revolu-
tlonary than the miraculous change
and development in knitted fabrics
and clothes. A whole new concep-
ton OF the term woolknit is neces-
sarv to comprehend today's knitted
fashions. Heretofore woolknits
meant classic, unchanging, unsmart
dresses-usually two-piece numbers
with a belt tied around the middle,
sausage like usually sagging,
stretching, and springing.
Three factors have brought wool
knlts into fashion prominence:
New textures in great variety have
been developed so that the fabrics
themselves are important fashion
news. The clothes have all been
styled smartly by outstanding de-
slgners-making sophisticated cos
tunes for town as well as beauti-
tul costumes for country and casual
wear. The new fabrics are so proc
essed that they don't shrink. stretch,
sag or spring.
We must discard our former con-
ception of woolknit dress. The
sagging, tubular, slazy knitted dress
is gone-thank heaven! The dowdy
bulky, and heavy sacks are no more.
What are the new woolknit fab
RIGS? They're tweeds in muted tones
but light in weight They're gay
plaids. They're nubbed surfaced.
They're basket texture knits.
They're corduroy ribs. They're
crepe textures. They're stripes of
dozen different kinds. They're nee
dlepoint. They're cashmere jerseys.
They're printed jerseys. They're
like Rodier fabrics. They're fine,
corded knits, and they're feather
weight.
All the virtues of woolknits are
here-their softness, comfort, drapa-
bility, durability, and warmth-com-
bined with new Hghtness in weights,
new colors, new textures. They tai
lor magnifcently and yet preserve
the soft textures that lend them
selves to draping-an intrinsic char
acteristic of knitted fabrics.
No longer are woolknits confined
to the country, to the knock-about
wardrobe. Now these exciting fab
RIGS are in clothes designed for day
time and afternoon wear in town, for
business and campus, for elegant
evening and dinner wear.
There are beautiful one and two
piece dresses for under fur coats
and jackets; cape and jacket en-
sembles that are wonderful for town
and travel; and charming basic
dresses that can be dressed up or
down.

either. So here's recipe for just
that kind of pudding:
STEAMED SPICE PUDDING
2 cups sifted flour; teaspoons
double-acting baking powder; a tea
spoon soda; l teaspoon salt; 11a
teaspoon nutmeg; IL teaspoons Gin
namon; z teaspoon cloves; Il tea
spoon allspice; 4 tablespoons butter
or other shortening; Il cup brown
sugar, firmly packed; l egg, well
beaten; q cup milk; Y cup molasses.
Sift flour once, measure; add baking
powder, soda, salt, and spices, and
sift together three times. Cream
butter, add sugar gradually, creaming
thoroughly. Beat in egg. Add flour
alternately with milk and molasses,
stirring well after each addition. Turn
into creased molds, filling them 2-3
full; cover tightly and steam 2 hours.

A BACKWARD GLANCE

Most of US stop before full length
mirror before setting out on an i'm
portant date, starting to work or
merely doing the family marketing.
We make sure that our hair is neatly
and attractively arranged, that our
lipstick is carefully applied that our
powder and rouge blend with the skin
tone and harmonic with the eolors we
are wearing. But how many of us do
an "about face?"
Although a good actress, seldom
turns her back to the audience in the
ordinary routine of our days we would
literally have our back to the wall if
we would avoid "rear vision" scrutiny.
But, unfortunately, many of us go
blithely on our way with much the
same attitude as the ostrich-if we
can't see the back of our hair or our
stockings, neither can anyone else.
All of which, of course, is absurd.
Beware of Rundown Heels
Last week l suffered a grim dis
illusionment while talking to charm
ing, seemingly well-groomed girl. She
was beautifully dressed, amusing to
talk to, and l noticed that several of
the young men in the room were eye
ing her with interest. And then she
turned her back! Her heels were
scuffed and run over, an item which in
itself marked her as careless and lazy.
Had she waited for ten minutes at the
corner shoe repair shop she could have
started out on a better footing.

and measures up to the test of long
wear.
The fur accent that distinguishes
this coat deserves special comment.
In the huge beaver-covered button
lies a stroke of real styling genius.
The single fur button fastening has
already made widespread fashion
appeal. This simple little touch of
fur makes fine excuse to add a
hat of matching fur and a huge
muff which ensembles the costume
most attractively. In the way of
fur trims this season, something of
fur always matches something else
of fur in the costume, thus estab-
fishing a relationship that resolves
the composition into perfect unit.
The inimitable styling given the
Winsome dress of sheer wooden shown
below to the right in the group is
recognized at a glance. This most
attractive model is an Eisenberg
original and augurs well for the
supremacy of American designers in
the field of costume styling. Shirred
ruching typifying superior workman
ship forms giant pockets on bodice
and hip. The straight sleeve gains
interest from its unusual side clos
ing fastened by three widely spaced
buttons. For the lively touch so es-
sential in this winters costumes
there are jeweled flower buttons and
contrasting satin ascot.
AS you see below to the left, tab
pockets distinguish a sophisticated
jacket of Fromm pedigreed silver
fox A grand and glorious fur of
this type will set off to perfection
any cloth costume with which it is
worn throughout winter. The skins
are so cleverly marked and worked
that the marking of the fox itself
outlines the pockets as well as form
ing yoke at the shoulders. A tiny
standing collar, elongated lapels and
pocket tops are of stitched taffeta-
a combination of unusual chic that
sets off the full silver-bright beauty
of the fox. The wool hat has a great
chouX of cog feathers.

Hats, Cloves Add
Color to Costume

When you buy a new hat, buy
new pair of smart leather gloves to
match. That's fashions favorite idea
for putting color spice into this
years costumes and American
leather glove makers are playing
right into fashions hands with an
array of colors such as you've never
before seen.
There are two smart ways of
matching gloves and hats Ell
ther match the gloves to the hat it.
self or to the trimming. Matching
the trimming is a good idea if the
hat is black with contrasting feath-
er, facing, ribbon or veil on it.
Or, better still, when you get a
hat with contrasting trim, choose
two pairs of gloves-one to match
the hat and one to match the trim.
Then when one pair of gloves is be-
ing washed (and most American
made gloves can be washed) you
have another harmonious pair to
wear.
This hat and glove combination is
an unbeatable idea for making one
costume look like more, particularly
if the main costume is black, dark
brown, gray or beige all of
which can use hats and gloves in
several different colors.
