It's graceful feather trim is Kelly
green for added color
Fur capes are definitely some
thing to talk about, for they are in
the very foreground of the current
fashion picture. The gorgeous cape
lower right, is of lustrous black
Persian lamb. The new rule for a
black wrap worn with a color-bright
dress is faithfully observed. The
pretty, softly styled frock is in the
widely sponsored new gold tone.
For daytime wear nothing ex-
ceeds leopard in chic, unless it be
American opossum, which is also
playing a star role. You will be
perfectly tuned to the grandstand
picture if you attend the game in
coat of leopard at lower left.
1t is a fashionable, three-quarter
length style with stand-up collar
and bracelet length sleeves - all
very youthful and destined for an
eye-smashing entry into any smart
gathering.
A most extraordinary develop
ment in fur styling this season is
the working of glittering embroidery
on the lapels and collars of fur coats.
The new fur capes are sometimes
embroidered with a hem line bor-
dering for evening. Brown sequins
worked on mink hats, jet motifs on
either black or white furs or metal
thread embroidery punctuated with
glistening jewels give to furs an en-
tirely different aspect. Many of the
most staid and conservative coats
are bursting into glory with gleam-
ing jeWeled buttons.

FASHION is most eloquently SAY
ing it" with furs this season. Ac-
cording to the signs there is going
to be a most grand and glorious
display of furs this winter both as
trimming and as coat or cape en-
sembles of sumptuous fur. Almost
everything in the way of matching
accessories that can be made of
fur is being made of fur: hats,
gloves, handbags, separate neck
pieces, detachable plastron fronts,
and lapel gadgets of bows and bou-
tonniereS.
Milliners are giving of their best
in creating fur hats matched to
coats, to jackets, or to the trim
ming on ones gown and wrap.
The favor for browns has placed
extra emphasis on the Importance
of mink. There's exciting fashion
news in the sumptuous mink coat
shown above to the right in the H.
lustration. 1t is topped by hat
made glorious by wide brim (huge
fur hats will be worn this winter)
of matching mink.
The young woman centered above
in the picture is snappishly turned
out in an ensemble of gray Chinese
kidskin, the fngertip-length coat
fashioned along very youthful lines.
The insistent call for sleek black
by fashion sophisticates keeps Per-
sian lamb and elegant broadtail in
the limelight again this season.
Royalty luxurious is the broadtail
ensemble shown in the upper left
corner. Here slim svelte princess
coat demonstrates how up-to-the-
minute is the styling given to furs
this season. The hat is one of those
new tall effects so definitely in style.

cream soups, vegetable soups, then
again hot milk drinks for variety.
Sandwiches are standby, but
don't get into rut with these. Don't
have soggy filings. Wrap each one
separately in wax paper. Favorite
filings include:

Chopped meat mixed with may

Chopped hard-cooked eggs with
bacon
Cheese and luncheon meats
Vegetable salad sandwiches
Flaked fish with celery, lettuce
Chopped figs or dates, nuts,

Grandma's Buttons
Make Style News

Dig into grandma's button box,
and you may find hidden treasures
that will cause your winter gowns
and coats to soar to heights of sar-
torial glory. Better still, trek around
to the button counters and see what
a splurge buttons are making in
the fashion realm.
Two important trends register in
the button field, one of which is the
inclination toward bulkiness. But
tons are sometimes massive and
knobby. Also, the new buttons tell
grand and glorious color study.
You, with everyone else, are going
to wear a great deal more color
this year than you did last, and &C
cordingly button originals are keep
ing pace with the color commotion.
Plastic buttons are available in a
full range of costume colors. A but
ton that makes an interesting ac-
cent on frock or blouse is a nodded
plastic done in flower design with
nailhead detail. Fresh fashion in
terest is also developing in filigree
buttons. A gold filigree button is
proving especially attractive for
dress-up blouses and party frocks.
In fact, metal buttons rank high in
favor, whatever the type.
Glitter is popular, and lovely
rhinestone buttons flourish on woods,
velveteens, dressy crepes, and the
newest fashion note is rhinestone or
other jeweled buttons on fur coats
and jackets.

LYNN SAYS:

Stop food wastes. Not only is
this a matter of thrift but also a
vital step in conserving this coun-

that tiny food wastes total up to
a tremendous amount.
Wise shopping will prevent buy

food. The wise shopper should
also recognize between good and
poor grades, by reading labels

the scales.
Poor cooking causes much

forward to taffy pull just as much
as going to a circus.
This party is exciting fun because
the children have chance to help
in the making of refreshments. Yes,
pulling taffy with their fingers all
buttered, and watching the dark
candy mixture get lighter and light
er each time it's pulled They'll like
this too, because taffy pull isn't a
fussy party. When you send out
the invitations, let the mothers know
it's taffy party so the children will
be dressed accordingly.
Unlike many foods which are iron
sources, molasses when cooked does
not lose it's iron content.
If possible use candy thermom-
eter to test the candy so it will be
cooked just right, neither too stiff
nor too messy to handle. When
the candy is cool enough, cut it
just the right size for small hands.
The piece should be large enough
to work on, but not too large. When
the piece is light tan and very stiff,
pull into long strip and cut.
MOlasses Taffy.
cups pure New Orleans molasses
cup granulated sugar
tablespoons butter
l tablespoon vinegar
IA teaspoon vanilla, if desired
IL cup water
Cook the molasses, sugar and wa
ter in heavy kettle slowly until
the mixture reaches 260 degrees or
until little of the mixture dropped
in cold water becomes brittle. Stir
a little during the latter part of the
boiling to prevent burning; pour into
a buttered pan. When cool enough
to handle, cut in pieces and pull un-
til light and stiff. Butter the hands
before pulling.
Refreshments can be simple for a
taffy party, for children will be so
