Luxury Look, Shorter Lengths, Big Sleeves Is Fur Coat News By CHERIE NICHOLAS IT'S style appeal with the new lux 1 ury look that sells the fur coat this season. It is said that women who can afford it are asking for the new-this-year shorter fashions buying for "style" regardless of whether they already own a long fur coat. Mink, natural gray types (gray has gone tops on the fashion pro gram), Russian broadtail, Persian lamb, stone marten, beaver and nu tria, also mouton, racoon and the spotted types are cited in the high- i fashion list this year. The accent in the styling of these furs is on an un precedented lavish scale. The fea turing of shorter lengths (34 to 36 inch also three-quarter to seven eighths), together with voluminous sleeves and handsomely cuffed, with the hemline inclined to flare subtly or definitely as the case may be, has brought about a decided change in the silhouette. The coats illustrated are repre sentative of the new trends. The model to the left is really a conver sation piece in that it is made of blond chiffon wild mink, a fur that is causing no end excitement this geason because of its unusualness and its natural blond beauty, some thing so very different from the ac customed brown mink. This hand some fur introduced by Esther Doro thy in her famous mink collection is designed with exquisite detail to give a luxurious aspect. Deftly collar less it accommodates the low coif fure, has the new shoulderline, to gether with smartly cuffed volumi nous sleeves. If you have not as yet seen the ex travagantly lovely new blond wild mink you're missing something. This youthful looking blond fur is ever so flattering and it's worth looking up for it's the talk o'town this fall. It is not only being made into coats but it is stunningly styled into the new capes. Shown also are four-skin scarfs that provide ornamental shoulder accent to collarless coats and suits. Another brand new fashion in the shorter-length class is the brief man darin topper as pictured to the right. Black Russian broadtail is used for this swank topper. This lightweight coat is just the type women appre ciate for immediate wear. It looks every inch high-fashion worn over the nov^o-modish all black cloth suit and it achieves striking con trast with the new color-bright wool dresses and suits. You'll love it worn with a fuchsia frock, or with a new royal blue dress and it is grand and glorious with a costume in American Beauty. Russian broad tail is a first choice with best-dressed women of discriminating taste. A current favorite also is the three-quarter length smoothly styled mandarin coat of black Russian broadtail also of Persian lamb. With deep turnback cuffs and gracefully flared body a coat of this type con forms to the season's style "musts." And now for more startling news ?it's the return of fur capes, short or long to the fall-winter style pic ture. Anyone fortunate enough to have stored away a full-length mink cape has recaptured a small for tune, for very likely it can be worn this season without much alteration. As to the shorter cape many a fur rier will be called upon to fashion a last season's coat into a this season's cape. There is beauty of line and the sweep of distinction in the full length cape while the shorter types are styled with intriguing details. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Velveteen Skirt The ambition of the girl who knows her fashions is to come into possession of a color-bright velve teen skirt. Having had much joy in wearing the gay print peasant-type skirts the summer through fancy now turns to autumn and winter styles which say that there's nothing smarter to wear with your blouses and your waistcoats and your dressy sweaters than a skirt of as gaily colorful velveteen as you can find in the new season's collections of high style cottons. The skirt pictured is of emerald green velveteen. It looks just right with this brown and white checked cotton poplin tailored shirt. For dressiest moments try wearing this color-bright, style-right velve teen skirt with a sequinned jersey Revival of Stoles Bespeaks Elegance In the early Victorian days stoles of fur, of ostrich and rare fabrics were worn in grand lady fashion. This season sees the revival of this gracious vogue. The perfect stoles to wear with one's suits and tailored wool street costumes is the one made of a luxury fur. Stone marten is liked and if you have ascribed to the new craze for gray you'll b? wanting a gray fox stole and for evening your choice will be a scarf like ermine stole. For great formal ity women will again wear the spec tacular ostrich long stole for a lav ishment of ostrich is seen both in hats and in neckpieces. The newer evening gowns are on the slim, tall statuesque order. With these it's the fashion to wear a three-yard long chiffon scarf bordered out with sequins. You fling this filmy cloud of loveliness about one shoulder as you would wear your fur stole for a picture of perfect grace. Rich Dinner Suits Much ado Is being made over the new dinner suits which are entirely different from the usual suit fash ions, because they are made of ele gant brocades and jacquard weaves not usually associated with the tail ored suit. These new stunning suits are tailored to a nicety, their only decor being handsome jewel buttons. Sometimes a richly ornamented belt is worn with the skirt and blouse, its gleam sparkling out from be tween the jacket fronts. Watch this fashion develop; it is destined to be outstanding. White With Plaid A new style hobby is going the rounds that is of college, school and career girl interest. This chic style gesture stresses the fact of a white blazer being worn with a gay plaid skirt. The color scheme is carried into the blazer via a binding In | bright coloring that finishes off all its edges. I M f iH 0J... Cheery Beginners for That Morning Starter (See Recipes Below) Breakfast Patterns A recent survey made tells us that 85 per cent of the doctors and 88 per cent of the teachers say the aver age person eats too little for break fast. Other interesting facts reveal that most people believe they get about iu per cent ui 3 their daily nour rshment from J breakfast. Doc y tors and teachers 3 here again esti ij mate they get $ about 28 per cent ?j nourishment from U breakfast. ? One of the rea sons, perhaps, ior skimping on breakfast is that time is limited. The survey goes on to say that people themselves estimate they spend around 12 minutes eating breakfast with farmers spending more than that, factory workers less. On Sun days, when there is no work to dash to, the time for breakfast stretches enormously, and so probably does the nourishment. These, then, are the findings. Here are the facts: a breakfast is one of the three meals of the day and as such should provide a third of the day's food requirements?calories, vitamins, minerals, etc. In fact, planned correctly, the breakfast can take care of that serving of cereal, that citrus fruit or juice and the egg a day requirements. If the worker has a heavy schedule, the food can be made extra nourishing, such as cooking the cereal in milk, or at least serving with cream or rich milk and sugar. Have both eggs and cereal for breakfast if the cal orie intake has to be upped, and serve jellies or jam with toast in ad dition to the butter. Why Breakfast? Breakfasts, good breakfasts, are important if we are to keep mental and physical en ergy at the high est level during morning hours. The time elapsing between dinner and breakfast is the longest inter val between any meal. The stretch between the eve ning meal and the morning meal is usually as long as 12 hours.
