THOUGHTS ON MONET
Hone; has lew friends these days.
The sticking kind, the sort of people
who want to cling to it tenderly.
Coin has become almost a synonym
for confetti.
?
Americans are behaving as if they
thought it a reflection on their char
acter not to be spendthrifts. The old
slogans have been revised thusly:
1. Take care of the dafly-donbles
and the pennies will have to take
eare of themselves.
Z. A fool and his money make a
perfect parlay.
1. If money horns a hole fas your
pocket, remember that it saves the
moths a tot of work.
4. Waste not, have not!
5. A good race tip b rather to be
had than great riches.
?
Frugality has become a word out
of an old dictionary. The man who
used to wince at the idea of paying
over 75 cents for an ordinary lunch
now pays $2.50 and brings his own
butter and sugar. Give a waiter only
10 per cent today and you auto
matically become Scrooge II.
?
Pull that old one about saving
something for a rainy day today and
you get a snappy, "Phooey! If it
rains I can get an umbrella from
the government."
?
Thousands of people seem to be
lieve that money not only grows on
trees, but that the trees can be
counted on to make deliveries.
?
If Ben Franklin were around to
day delivering epigrams on thrift he
would be denounced as a reaction
ary, a Tory and an enemy of the
people.
?
The questions of the hour are: Is
cash a good thing to have around
the house? Should a five-dollar bill I
be regarded as something for the
long poll or a quick turnover? Can
a man be thrifty and maintain the
respect of the community?

Good News for Light Sleepers
We don*t know what we would
have done if we" hadn't had a' chat
i today with Albert H. Chandler. We
hadn't been getting much sleep and
it worried us. Counting sheep hadn't
been of the least help. There had
been times when we had been on an
eight-boar sheep-counting night. A
fellow couldn't go on like that.
?
Then ft happened. We heard a
commotion in the corridors and
found office associates congratulat
ing Chandler on his 91st birthday.
Ninety-one and on the Job every day
as office receptionist! Sixty-seven
years on the paper!
?
"Ah!" we thought, % "Chandler
must sleep well. In him there is the
secret of repose after hitting the
haypile. He can help us."
?
"Sleep!" exclaimed the hardy vet
eran. "There's nothing in it! It's
the bank!"
We assume the celebration had
upset him somewhat.
"Forget that sheep staff," he con
tinned. "Thal'i bad. I used to count
'em. Probably counted more sheep
in my time than any living Ameri
can. I even numbered 'em front and
rear. Pot plates on 'em. Things
came to a head baek in the "70s, in
1878. I think that seas one of the
biggest sheep years I ever had.
There were so many to be counted
that I never slept a wink. So I quit.
Haven't tabulated a sheep since."
0
"But what do you do about 'em?"
"Ignore 'em. All except one. That j
sheep's been with me over half a
century. I call it Old Two Million
Eight Thousand and Ninety-four. I
had counted that high when I met it.
This sheep and I get about the same
amount of sleep. Why? Because we ?
forgot the whole business years ago,
and know there's nothing to it. All
the other sheep keep on hopping
back and forth all night waiting for
me to start counting and they've
gone nuts. They don't get any sleep
at all!"

Feather-Trimmed Hats Bringing
Drama to the Winter Style Picture
v ????????
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
- * -
FEATHER-TRIMMED hats are
' making one grand splurge in the
fashion world this winter. And what
a stir these feathered beauties are
causing! They are so lovely and so
colorful they top off the winter cos
tume with a witchery aQ their own.
The current collections include
types suited to every occasion, from
conservative turbans, toques, tiny
sailors and chic berets to fabulous
hats for gala events. Outstanding in
the displays are gay little flatterefs
that look like a pouf or a pompon
of ostrich fronds. These are worn
tilted over the face. They are very
lovely in pure white.
It's important news that quanti
ties of wings are being used this
year in white, also in lovely pastels
and vivid colors. The tall wings,
soaring high at the front of the mod
ish hat shown above to the left are
in soft rose pink. The high crown of
smooth pink feathers is circled with
black felt that parts at the center
to reveal the handsome wings.
Birds are in the news, too. That
pretty chapeau pictured to the right
above is done in turquoise velvet
trimmed with a flock of wee birds
in matching blue. The arrangement
of the birds is unique. They look
more like tiny wings until you dis
cover the little heads nestled close
to the hat. To be sure, they are
simulated birds, but they come
pretty close to nature's own.
The forward-tilted breton of gray
felt below to the left shows a clever
use of gray ostrich feathers. The
high crown and soaring feathers ac
cent the new taller silhouette.
The toque below to the right gives
\ ? I
emphasis to the "new look" being '
designed, so it would seem, for a
sophisticated lady. It is elaborately
draped in a high bulky contour. The
velvet that makes it is in the very
modish electric blue now featured in i
dresses and coats as well as in mil
linery. White feather wings and
marabou make a striking contrast.
One of the highlights of this sea
son is the colorfulness of hats de
signed for dinner wear and other
dress-up affairs. For "above table"
glamour milliners are creating
bright little confections such as a
peaked little strawberry pink felt
with soft ostrich plumes in tearose
shaded pink that curl around the
crown. Very new is this trend of
pastel felts trimmed with feather
novelties.
The all-feather hat is as style-im
portant as the feather-trimmed felts.
There is wide versatility expressed
in these leather charmers that look
so enchanting with winter furs.
There's flattery galore in the little
calots covered with flat feathers with
a sweep of brilliant tail feathers
falling down over one side to the
shoulder. The tail-feather trim that
falls over the hair is most pic
turesque, and it is getting wide re
sponse. Those in vivid yellows and
greens and scarlet compete with ex- \
quisite types formed of long sleek
glycerined ostrich in white or in pas
tel colors. Other feather fashions in
elude fetching little numbers Such as
the crimson feather-covered little
sailor that has as its sole trimming .
a gorgeous huge rose made of feath- .
ers with stems and leaves done in
green feathers.

Dramatic New Breton
This stunning bowler breton is a
>lack felt with velvet accent. As
rou see in the picture, its profile
silhouette is most dramatic and
rery attractive. A velvet-topped
rrown nestles inside the huge bowl
>rim which is edged with a wide
relvet band and a soft velvet bow
hat accents the upward movement.
Pastel Satin Hats Are
Enchanting and Chic
Just about as gala looking and as
rettily feminine as any hat could be
re the enchanting little forward-tilt
d hats made of satin in lovely pas
si shades. They are just what you
riH be wanting for cocktails, dinner
nd theater wear. Their simplicity ,
i their charm, styled as they are (
?ith a big pouf of satin encircling
flat little crown. You can get ,
lem in such exciting shades as pis- j
ichio, dusty rose, ice blue, cerise 1
nd gleaming black.

! High Necklines Call
For Chic Necklaces
Lots of jewelry will be worn this
winter. Not just helter-skelter pieces
but selective items designed espe
cially to complement and unify the
costume. The new high-throated
necklines are causing a rush to jew
elry counters for smart chokers or
necklaces, either pendant style or
formed of multi strands, some of
the more elaborate in deep bib-like
effect. Tremendous interest is shown
in earrings, and the newest stunt is
to match them to something or other
about your costume, maybe your <
necklace, your scarf, your jeweled 1
belt or possibly the color in your hat. c
In order to match you'll be needing i
a collection of earrings to tune to f
occasion. Bracelets! Count 'em! i
It's the latest to wear several posed c
one above the other, almost to the el- 1
bow. If the bracelet be massive li
and wide, as many of the newest t
styles are, then just a single brace- f
let looks best. C

I C
Rich, Radiant Brotcns Are c
Gaining in Popularity *
Even if you have never especial- e
ly admired brown, you'll simply love
it this year. Never have brown tones r
shown up more beautifully in the ; I
fashion color scheme than now. No I
wonder the rage for rich radiant L
browns is spreading throughout the
fashion world today It's the color .
ideal whether it be in the chocolate <
shade or in the reddish autumn-leaf
tone or the coffee or toast shades
to choose for your fall-winter cos
tume. Highlight the suit or wool _
dress with a stunning mink hat and
throw about your shoulders a .
voguish mink stole which is the
scarf-wrap de luxe for this winter,
if in doubt choose brown! It's the
latest for your dress, suit, coat and _
accessories. "

Skirt-Blouse Tunes
To Evening Formality
White Bodice or Sweater
Tops Black Satin or Crepe.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
With increasing emphasis fashion
declares in favor of the ikirt-and
blouse costume, not only for daytime
but for formal evening wear. In
either event, the fashion is to be
mmm stated, tor with a skirt and
many separate tops one can dress
handsomely far any occasion.
Costumes that are taking the spot
light in the evening mode team daz
zling white bodice or sweater tops
with ultra formal black skirts made
of rich fabric that stars handsome
crepe, satin or super quality velvet.
Great versatility is expressed in the
light tops. The evening blouse that is
making conversation this season is
of heavy white crepe that has an ex
quisite all-over tracery done in
sparkling crystal beads sometimes
intermingled with white sequins.
Available in either the brief waist
depth tuck-in type or the long-torso
over-blouse, these glistening white
tops are lending enchantment to the
evening mode. Lovely worn with the
white crepe skirt, too!
To vary your evening costume add
to your wardrobe of blouses a stun
ning white sweater top that dazzles
with sparkling crystal beadwork or
exotic gold thread and gold spangle
embroidery. An evening sweater is
a necessary luxury this year.
Sumptuous is the jacket blouse
fashioned of rich white satin bro
cade. One especially attractive type
has wrist-length sleeves, a most be
coming sweetheart neckline and is
buttoned up the front with either
tiny self-fabric buttons or gorgeous
rhinestone buttons. Sometimes the
sumptuous white brocade is high
lighted with an interweaving of sil
ver threadwork.
It is wise economy to include in
your wardrobe a perfectly styled
skirt in the shorter length as well
as the formal floor type. You can
shift your choicest blouses from one
skirt to another and be dressed to a
nicety for both day and evening fes
tivities.
For above-table glamour a smart
fashion is the blouse in pastel satin
that is discreetly highlighted with ?
choice bit of glitter. Not all the glory
goes to the light evening bloose,
however, for the black sweater top
with abort sleeves not dgily holds
high fashion rank for day wear but
in its evening moods takes on glitter
and formality that bespeaks a new
high in style importance. The smart
new trend to keep in mind in black
evening sweaters, is that gold em
broidery is being lavished on them
in a jewelry way.

So that's why Miss Teen-age is day

ism, designs this adorable teen-age
ivening dress. Shi will love this
ong-skirted gown for it aril] flatter ,
ter. In that it gives just enough
Town-up sophistication to make her
eel important. The bodice of
Tushed black velvet is tightly flt
ed and it's shorter in the front |
han in the back. The gathered es
eedingly full long skirt is of pink
nd black striped taffeta, arhich is
lso used effectively as a niched
dging for the top of the bodice.

It Pays to Properly
Candle and Pack Eggs
Protect Quality Eggs
And Increase Profits
Farmers will profit at least three
cents a dozen for randling eoas. The
War Food adminis
tration set support
prices of 27 cents for
candled eggs and 24
cents for uncandled
eggs. But properly
candled eggs will re
sult in even greater
profits by developing a quality mar
ket and increasing consumer de
mand.
Alter the eggs have been properly
candled, the final value depends upon
how they are handled wben sent to
market. They are largely judged by
the action of the yolk. II eggs are
packed sharp end up, there is a
tendency (or the yolk to rise through
the white, and to appear prominent,
thus lowering the market value.
When eggs are packed with aharp
end down they maintain their qual
ity better.
When an egg is fresh and in good
condition, it has a normally thick
white and the yolk stays fairly well
in the center when the egg is twirled
in front of the candler.
A quality egg will show little, a
poor egg will show a large air space,
dark yolk and moving yellow.

Malaria-Like Disease
Found in So. Dlinois
The presence of anaplasmosis, a
malaria-like disease of cattle, has
been found in southern Illinois by
veterinary specialists of the Illinois
university. Fear that it may spread
to other states seems to be well
founded.
A serious disease of cattle and
sheep, anaplasmosis, commonly ob
served in the South, has seldom been
encountered in northern states. It
is spread by biting or blood-sucking
insects. Prominent symptoms in
clude loss of appetite, weakness,
rapid pulse and breathing and pale
or yellowish skin and mucous mem
branes. Laboratory tests should be j
taken when the presence of anaplas
mosis is believed to exist.
New in Machinery
Dehydrator
During the winter months, when
the borne dehydrator is no longer re
quired for fruits or vegetables, it
may be used as a clothes drier,
room heater or food warmer.
With some types of borne dehydra
tors, the heating elements may be
removed and used as room beaters
and the cabinet utilized for storage
Batter Color Defects
Mottles result from uneven distri
bution of the salt and from insuf
ficient working of farm butter. It is
the most common color defect. This
defect may be overcome by more
complete working of the butter, by
moistening the salt before adding it
to the butter and then working the
butter well, or by working the but
ter partially, allowing it to stand a
few boors, and then completing the
working process. A greasy condi
tion will result from underworking.
