Joan's Style Hints
Fashion Queries and Wise Answers
By Joan Gardner

they were not as slenderizing.
Perhaps you can have something
that serves both needs. There
are many in-between shades. soft
blues and green's, that have fat
tering qualities to figure and hair
alike. Gray in many shades has
the same effect, and if deep beige
Is becoming, 1t may be cut so as to
be slenderiZing. When you wear
dark clothes in the winter. do
add touch OF light or brightness
next to your face.
Il had planned to trim a new
dress of wool-liks rayon in
matching yarn embroidery, but
cannot find the right cSlor. Can
you suggest a substitute?
Il you cannot use contrast to
good advantage, why not take the
scraps OF your fabric and make
them into narrow fringe, for edg-
ing the collar, cuffs. perhaps the
fly front of the dress? You can
use the threads which you unravel
for extra bits of embroidery, too.

"How can I change a black
princess-line coat to give it
new look? 1t has velveteen
yoke and buttons down the front.
particularly want a collar on 1t.
Would you add fur?"
Why not match the velveteen
In the yoke. and make a sailor
collar of velveteen? This will
look right and also involve no
intricate recutting. Then make a
bag OF velveteen or gloves of this
fabric, and if possible see if you
can't find velveteen beret. You
can make your outfit look very
new by the use OF accessories.
You could add velveteen cuffs If
gloves are not easy to make or
find In the stores.
What are some OF the good
color schemes for an autumn
wedding? I am wearing ivory
satin. and want my bridesmaids
to wear something that looks
newer than the usual pale pas
tells"
Deeper colors are being shown
for fall weddings. They include
greenish blue, turquoise, vari-
GUS shades Of green, deep rose,
beige, rusty tones, and so on.
Dresses are made to serve as
dance or dinner dresses later,
always have sleeves, and not too
low necklines. Select any pretty,
deep shade that you like-you
will find 1t is quite all right.
Il have good red fox fur
scarf, and would like to use. it in
some way. Would it be good as
a muff, or as cuffs on wide
straight sleeves on a princess
line coat? I have thought of
making a costume, plain dress,
short straight jacket, both of
wool (perhaps dull medium
green) and using the fur for a
tuxedo effect on the jacket. How
would this do?"
believe you will find it most
becoming and simple to follow
your idea of dress and jacket in
one of the new dark green wools.
Line the jacket so that it is a real
fall costume, and match the color
Of the fur in gloves or hat. Cut
ting the fur into muff is diff
cult, unless you want to spend the
money to have furrier do it for
you. Wide fur-cuffed sleeves are
really only pretty on a swagger
coat. I would not think of using
my fur on princess coat.
Il have gray hair and am
plump. I have always worn dark
colors to make me look more
slender. but I find now that
lighter shades are much more be-
coming, since I am gray. Which
should I wear now? I realize
that I must sacrifice something"
II I were you, I would wear be-
coming and pretty colors, even If

Three Million Pounds of Venison
From Twenty Thousand Deer

Figures from. the game department
of the state show that almost 10000
deer were killed mostly in Central
Washington during the deer season
and that these dressed out some g.
900 pounds of first class venfsop.
Much of this meat went into cold stOr-
age lockers, which also contains many
game birds taken at the same time by
hunters, as the season was open for
all classes Of game ever the ststile dates
this year.
Practically all for lockers are rented
we are told and most all are filled, al
so containing domestic meats, butter
and other food stuff no doubt. While
the revenue from the sale of licenses
was almost up to average this year,
the department expects slump Of as
much as one half next year due to
shortage of ammunition and transport
tation restrictions.

Food Factor To Nation


OLYMPIA, Dec 23-More than ten
thousand cases of salmon each con-
tanning As pounds were packed on Pug
ct Sound alone during the season just
closed, in addition to which must be
added the Alaska and Columbia River
packs and the tremendous fresh sal.

lance of this nations food demands.
Fresh salmon from the water of Pug
ct Sound for the dinner tables of the
nation numbered more than II 900 in
dividual fish for the season also, and
had these been canned they would have
added greatly to the total OF that COM
modify, as an average of only four
chinook salmon are required to fill a
case, although ten of the silver SAL
mon taken this year would have been
used in a single case because Of their
immature size. Chum salmon would
have been used at the rate of about
eight to the case which is good aver
age for all kinds of salmon.
Much of the fresh fish catch is TAX

mainder goes to the tables throughout

Election Figures Offer
Interesting Sidelights

We find some figures in which you
will be interested with reference to
the election on measures as just COM
piled in the office of Secretary Of State
Belle Reeves. The official tabulation
shows that the hotly contested Refer
endum No. 22 carried in every county
but two, Fairfield and Whitman being
against the measure, and the total was
$4,000 for and 100000 against, or
much more than two to one in favor
of the increased compensation to In
iured workers. Initiatives 151 being
the increased pay to pensioners was
defeated by total vote of 225,000 a.
gainst and 100000 favoring the
plan. All counties favoring the measure
of which there were IL in the
state, are situated on the west side of
the Cascades, and in most instances
the margin in favor was very small
one per cent or less in each of these
favorable counties. Just why no county
on the east side of the state wanted
the measure while twelve on the west
side voted for it is something to con-
slider, but these are the facts.
