Dramatically Styled Furs Have Look of Luxury and Distinction By CHERIE NICHOLAS T"* HIS is a season of fabulous furs, distinguished by dramatic styl ing. It would seem almost as if mir acles are being performed in fur manipulation. The regulation coats of the past, designed for the most part to keep you warm, are no more. A new era dawns in fur coat design, one that is breath-taking in luxuriousness, in top-flight styling, in assured winter wqrmth and in all the finesse that women of fashion seek in fur coats. Never a lovelier evening wrap could fancy picture than the exquis ite stole of precious white Russian ermine shown in the magnificent fur revue presented recently in Chicago by the State street council. Note in the illustration herewith the superb grace and beauty of this enchanting evening wrap. The full deep cape at me DacK nows mio wiae iront pan els, which are heavily tipped with ermine tails. It is in suph'gracious modes as this that'Air artristry reaches the ultimate. The handsome coat illustrated at the right was also in the showing. This sumptuous model in black Rus sian Persian lamb brings a most important message in thatit is high style this season to trihf one fur with the same fur in striking color con trast. In this instance, natural gray Persian lamb is used in banded treatment about the wide bell sleeves of this very elegant black Persian coat. There is also a trend this season to trim one fur with an - other: As to the kinds and types of fur in the fall and winter fashion pic ture, the list of fine peltry is most versatile. Coats of opossum, mou ton, muskrat, raccoon, nutria and natural leopard have the look college girls want. Beaver is also high in favor and gray furs are very popu lar. The new "rage" among the younger set is daytime coats of white fur. Street furs stress mink of every type, which tunes right into the "brown" vogue that is sweeping the country. Mink-dyed muskrat makes a good showing too, while Persian lamb is a stand-by with women who like elegance without ostentation. Beaver has high fashion rank this season, and quite a little natural squirrel and seal are on the list. The gorgeousness of evening furs baffles description. Rare platinum minlr oYnrp?cp< Invitrv of ito hioViocf Blond mink is charming and new looking. Fine black Persian lamb re mains first choice with women of conservative tastes. Lovely white ermine, too, is scheduled for a busy social season. As to the dramatic coat silhouettes, they radiate a feeling of opulence as much as do the mag nificent furs themselves, in that this season's coats are cut in such lavish lines as shown in the huge graceful sleeves with their wide and luxuri ous turn-back culls. There's grace and beauty too, in the generously cut coat itself which often stresses a flare hemline. And as to lengths, it's the shorter types that major in the style parade. HoWbver, the full length models are not out of the picture. A smart-.model shown is a full length opossum sports coat. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Smart Costumq Suit It's big news that the costume suit has returned to the fashion picture. The new note of elegance that pre vails in current fashions is reflected in the revival of the old-time favor - He that calls for a handsome two piece done in quality-kind wool and choice fur trim with the thought in mind that it will, together with a wardrobe of intriguing blouses and various costume Jackets and bodice tops of rich fabric plus versatile ac cessories, sum up to almost a ward robe >n itself.

Something differ ent this year in way of a fashion able skirt is the new wrap-around that comes in black, also in stun ning bright colors.

The blazer jacket is "tops" for practical wear, and the college girl buys this type first of all. Jackets in bizarre plaids or stripes vie with those made of plain fabric that play up one vivid color against another. The exciting new jacket theme this year is seen in the new corduroy models in either narrow or wide wale. Their colorings are most attractive. New also are handsome little velvet jack ets.

Lota of lit tle friendly ges tures that mean so much have been forgotten during the war, but they should oe reinstated. Something that all of us with a garden can do is to share with a neighbor. There are probably lots of things that you yourself cannot use that would be welcomed by a neigh bor. Send a basket of garden vege tables or fruit, all dressed up with fancy wrappings and ribbon, and see what a friend you can make. Incidentally, include a lemon or two to make it handy for the home maker to season either fruit or veg etables. Another gift that will be welcome is a set of your favorite recipes, with or without a basket of garden prod uce. Every woman has a few choice dirties which her friends have asked for, and it makes for more friendli ness to be generous with the instruc tions. Here are some brief suggestions which I'd like to pass on to you, par ticularly for vegetables: If you find yourself short of salad dressings for a tossed salad, sprinkle 2 or 3 tablespoons of oil on the indi vidual salad then squeeze lemon juice generously over this, salt to taste and toss the salad lightly. To make a good, old-fashioned cole slaw, add the following amounts to 2V4 cups of shredded cabbage: % teaspoon salt, ltt tablespoons sugar, 6 tablespoons coffee cream, and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice. In making pickled beets, cook the beets first, then slici and cover with4 equal paras ui lemon juice and water. Add sugar to taste, and slices of sweet onion, if desired. . Now that fall ' has come, we can start turning our - i attention to heartier foods again. Cabbage is a good vegetable to use because it is coming in season: Staffed Cabbage. (Serves S to (1 S tablespoons uncooked rice 1 pound greend beef ?r 1 egg well-beaten 2 tablespoons minced onion 2 teaspoons salt H teaspoon pepper ? medium to large cabbage leaves Lynn Saye: Refrigerate Your Foods: Re frigeration is necessary to most foods not only to preserve their appearance and palatability, but also to prevent food spoilage. In most cases, temperatures of 40 degrees will take care of the situation. This temperature is best maintained. Meat, milk, vegetables and fruits are extremely perishable and should be refrigerated imme diately. Root vegetables do not need as low as 40 degrees and may be kept out of the ice box. Bananas need never be refriger ated. Keep all foods covered except meat. Cover it lightly with waxed paper. Fruit needs chilling, not freez ing. The crisper or open dish or even paper cartons are excellent for keeping eggs in the refrigera tor. , - Meat needs the coolest place in the refrigerator?right under the freezing unit. Bacteria multiply very rapidly unless M is wett pro tected. Lynn Chambers' Mean.

Fat actually facilitated the rate of digestion. ?are Seep When doing laundry with a wash ing machine, put the heavier pieces through the wringer twice before rinsing. This causes the thick loamy suds to fall back into the washer for the next batch of clothes. It speeds up rinsing too. Accident Caose Falls occur In the farm home more frequently than any other type of accident. The farm housewife can help cut down on the number of falls by making sure her kitchen Boor is always dry and clean.

To the extent that management 1# able to deliver the "pork-chops" without union pressure, the worker is often ready to shift his allegiance to the company.
