sealskin and beaver will give you
many years of wearing pleasure,

BILE If you take care of them.
When you realize that mink
often considered a luxury-may
we'll last you Is years, you can see
what we mean by a good long
term investment. However, long
term or no, these furs are bit
steep for many women. Among
the budget-priced furS, muskrat
is great favorite and for a COM
paratively low sum will give you
years and years of service. It's a
sturdy fur, warm. and comes in
natural color or dyed to initiate
mink or marten. Personally, we
think the natural color smartest,
having a loathing for furs that try
to look like what they amt"
(All right-we're funny that way;
most people go for the marten-
dyed muskrats.) Anyway, the
muskrat coat in its fingertip ver-
sion looks like million dollars

Dear Mrs. Post: I already
have my wedding invitations
engraved and now comes the
upsetting word that my fiance
will not be able to arrive for a
few days after the date we set
for the wedding. Is there any
proper way whereby l could have
a small card printed, stating this
change, and inclose it with the
incorrect invitations? If so, what
would the wording be?
Answer = Such wartime ne
cessltles are so general that
every one will understand what
has happened, if you draw line
through the engraving and write
in the new date with a fine pen

spicuous as possible

signed knife rounds out the set.
There's large fruit design in
the center of each plate, the
border is the same color. OF
course, the set could be used to
good advantage when serving
salads or even ice cream blocks.
Excellent to have when serving
refreshments for a club meeting
or bridge party.
BEANS STALK TACTICS
Those built-in kitchen cabinets
are wonderfully convenient, that
Is, II you're a tall person! A
"shortie" has a terrible time
reaching the second and third
shelf and invariably the article
needed is located on one OF the
uppermost shelves. To solve this
problem, we might suggest one Of
those chair high stepladder
stools. They are sturdily con-
structed and finished nicely in
glossy paint with a simulated
leather cover for the stool. Use
it to sit on while preparing the
meal, and when the occasion
arises for the use of q ladder,
simply pull down the steps.
LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT
Bridge lamps are getting more
and more difficult to find these
days. If you have a modernistic
type living room or den, you
might be interested in seeing a
lamp Of simple design made Of
oak with smart wool shade. It
is equipped with a three-way
switch, too.
NOW, OYSTERS, DEAR"-At
your next dinner party, serve a
half-dozen oysters on the half
shell df you can get themD on
clear glass plates made for this
purpose. Each plate has a small
glass sauce cup in the center.
During the period when oysters
are not in season, don't store the
plates aWay-use them at cock
tail parties-six varieties of hors
d'oeuvres can be arranged nicely
in the grooved sections, with
"dunking" sauce or salt or mus
tard in the cup.

Double>or>N0thing in Furs

Once a luxury, furs now take
their place competently in the
practical wartime wardrobe. After
all, any coat that can cover a suit
with glory, accompany any dress
and give you glamour at night is
hardly luxury. Of course your
smart, wel-dressed friends fig
ured that one out years ago May
be they didn't bother to disillusion
you when you thought that their
buying a fur coat meant their
husband had landed a juicy new
contract Git used to be nice to be
thought RichD.
But they knew that a we'll
chosen fur coat was a sound,
practical investment at the same
time creating an impression of
luxury.
Furs have always been one of
the lovelies in life to women and
furs' soul-heartening look of
wealth belied their practical side.
OF course, by practical we don't
mean robbing the family bank
account and spending the works
on one movie-queen white wrap
that you'll wear once or twice
season Our idea of practical" is
a simple, well-made fur coat of a
hard-wearing fur; a coat plain
enough in line to wear with every
thing from informal slacks to
your most important evening
gown. In other words, it should
pass with flying colors the
double or-nothing" test for
clothes purchases.
Such garment and the wrap
of the year, to our way Of think
ing, is the short fur coat. Particu-
larly suitable for Washington
winters, this comes in various
lengths from Is inches-just long
enough to cover your suit jacket
to flngertip length which may be
80 to SO inches depending on
where your flngertips reach. With
deep armholes, and easy swing,
these short coats have plus look
of luxurv-the same casual sWank
air women used to achieve by
wearing their precious furs non
chalantly swinging from their
shoulders. In fact, it was this
habit that partly inspired fur de-
signers this year
Another virtue of the short coat
Is its price. Usually you have to
pay more for the newer, smarter
style in anything The short coat
is new and smart-but you pay
less. That's because furs are one
item that prove the old shopping
adage. you get what you pay
for; in the short coat there are
fewer pelts, and ergo the price is
lower.
Another thing about furs. Usu-
ally the more you pay, the longer
they last. Unlike stockings, for
example, where the price and
wearing quality seem to run in
inverse proportions, really good
long wearing fur is a good invest
ment. That's why it is important
to buy the best quality you can in
a fur you can afford rather than a
cheap version of a better pelt.
Of course, not all furs are long
wearing, but you'll find hardy ones
at almost every price from ma
tural wild mink on down. Alaska

Each year it was indicated, the
Fourth of July holiday opens the

other month.
This years plea for safety is part

THE prevention of accidents, dur

ever the patriotic duty OF every cit

Many of our war plants will be
closed next Sunday and Monday,
giving the people on our home front
a Well-earned rest. However, these
plants will open Tuesday and every
man and woman in the state must
be at work in order that Connect

Many persons will be observing
the holiday nearer home in unfa-

in many instances the "old SWIM

Drownings, falls and, in spite of
restrictions, traffic accidents will
