VARIETY GALORE OFFERED IN WOMEN’S WINTER STYLES

Skirts Will Be Longer for Evening BY HENRI BEXDEL Written for NFA Service NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—The ne v mode holds quite rigid “do’s” and “don’ts” for the woman who ever is costumed and groomed in good taste. It is natural that, in a period oi changing fashions, some creations should emerge bizarre and too spectacular for ordinary use. For several years women have had few pitfalls in the way of their dressing smartly. That is because fashions were more standardized than was desirable, from the point of view of the beautiful and the picturesque. Variety is an ever-present need. This winter women can satisfy their every craving for the unusual. But right there is where most of the ‘"don'ts” of good taste come in. A Hint on Buying In the first place, if a woman has a modest wardrobe, she should select each article in it with infinite care. That is a good rule for every type of wardrobe. But it is possible to discard a mistake more easily if there are others present to cover up the error. Women this winter, in the second place, should watch the styles they buy with an eye to choosing onlj* the lines that are particularly good for their particular figures. Modified lines, in other words—not the exaggerated ones. Skirts are longer all through the wardrobe and evening modes reach the floor in the majority of cases. This is a fashion feature I think all women could follow to advantage. Grace Is Shown To illustrate the grace and charm of trailing skirts. I cite a lovely royal blue chiffon dinner gown, with glomorous sleeves, created by Ardanse. The full, long skirt falls in points onto the floor. The drop yoke effect of the bodice Is quaint and new. The decollectage is modest in front and very low r in the back. The sleeves are lavishly embroidered in pearls, crystals and red stones. The use of cape effects, peplums, tunic frocks and other features of interesting cut in gowns is a matter for each individual to decide. Some women wear them well. On others they merely add to the appearance of weight and stockiness. If one is slender and wears cape effects well, a stunning little tunic frock from Chanel is an inspiration. It is cocoa brown flat crepe, with a rather full tunic blouse with cape sleeves that are youthful looking, chic and individual. Belt Matches It A belt of matching shade is of suede and buttons and a buckle of brilliants trim it. A chenille beret of my own design is a happy solution to the hat problem of this little frock. So far so good, considering the new styles. But there are many extremely novel modes arriving from Paris that the average woman obviously can not wear to advantage. Many of these are very extreme. For example. I mgiht mention the new transparent frocks for evening wear over trousers instead of a Slip. Conservative women, of course, will not wear such spectacular modes, and I do not advocate them. One of these, from Worth, is a transparent net, with all-over desigr in black sequins. It is bizarre m its effect because the trousers under it are of flesh satin, very trim, buttoning around the leg just below the knee. This is such an extreme style that I doubt if American women will ever sponsor it in any large numbers.

Wedded * Life Income Need Is Flexible BY MARTHA LEE According to theory, in this day and age, the minimum wage of the young man-about-to-marry should be SSO a week, with a tidy sum laid away in the bank for the proverbial rainy day. Economists have figured that one-fourth of the month’s income may be spent for rent, and the rest budgeted for necessities including light, and heat, water and food, recreation and amusement, clothing, and savings also are budgeted to the nth degree, with the intention of sticking within these limits, slim though they may be. So much for the economists’ viewpoint. Economists, as a rule, are practical and level headed, with emotions held well in check. They don’t understand, or else have forgotten, that SSO is a very good salary for a young man and that few young men who held that same economic viewpoint, would dare marry. Many Live on Less A great deal depends on the standard of living. There are hundreds of thousands living on as\ittle as S2O a week, and getting along. There are hundreds of thousands living well on S3O or $35 a week. There are couples living regally on S4O and SSO a week and there are couples who, with SSO a week, barely can make both ends meet. If one can be content with living in a tiny apartment, not in the best residential districts, learning to depend on their own initiative for entertainment and making their clothes last much longer, one might start figuring, taking out onefourth of the month’s salary for rent and budgeting the remainder into the classes mentioned and any others deemed "advisable, and see how far “Charlie's” salary might go, stretched to the limit. 'Upkeep’ Is Heavy Cost Os course, the more that can be saved, the better for the young man and his bride. As they say about automobiles and such, “It isn’t the original cost, but the upkeep,” So it is with marriage. It’s the little unexpected things that turn up that cause trouble, so the larger the nest egg, the safer the bet, for marriage is a gamble any way. Dear Martha Lee—l am a young girl though old enough to know I have found my one and only Prince Charming. I hold a good position and enjoy my work, though I am considering marriage. If I marry, I want to discontinue my work, believing the place for a wife is In the home, if at all possible. My friends and I do not desire anything fine, but do want enough to start, perhaps, to buy a little home that we can call our own and have the other little things that make for comfort and happiness. Have Saved Several Years We have been waiting and saving for several years now and are finding it more difficult every day to wait. We know it costs a great deal to buy and furnish a home, and to live after you have a home. What we want to know is: how much ready cash do you think a young couple ought to have to make a start in the right way? WAITING. You are the only ones who can name the amount of ready cash you should have before you marry. You are very much in love. Would you be satisfied to marry your sweetheart, with the understanding that you would not be able to afford luxuries, perhaps only the barest necessities,? Will you be content with a few clothes, little entertainment, "and the knowledge that you will have to count every penny? You will want to keep yourself looking as well as girls with whom your husband is associated in business, and he must look well groomed if he has any intention of getting ahead. Must Avoid, Humdrum Is your love big enough to surmount all these difficulties, or will you become discontented and fretful and lapse in to the awful, humdrum existence of man and wife who have ceased to consider each other’s welfare the dearest thing in the world? Will you become just another couple who started marriage with everything to live for, but who lost their ideals somewhere along the stormy way? If you feel that you have waited long enough and that you might lose each other by waiting until you can afford to marry, go ahead and take the chance. You don’t need to start life in a palace, and with a Rollys Royce. If you are the right sort you will work shoulder to shoulder with your husband and help him win out.

Father Not Shackled by His Family BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Much ado is made these days over the suppressed American man. To hear one of these learned foreigners on the subject, one would think that tho average husband over here lived under the complete domination of some woman. A pitiful picture is drawn of hordes of overworked men bowed under their terrible financial burden, while mothers, daughters and sweethearts indulge in orgies of buying and laugh with glee while they hold masculine noses to the grindstone. This report, we assure you, is exaggerated grossly. Otherwise, why do we not hear more and louder wails from this army of down-trod-den men? It seems a bit queer that an entire nation of aggressive and successful husbands, who have cornered a major portion of the world's wealth and who exert a tremendous influence in business, politics and invention, would submit meekly to the feminine yoke. They don’t, my friends, they don't. Ease Off Their Burden Practically everything that the gentlemen have handed over to us with such gallantry is the thing that they want to get out of doing themselves. To boss a house and manage a family requires executive ability, a powerful fund of energy, and the ability to keep everlastingly at it. Father naturally is not averse to turning over the biggest end of this task to mother. The main reason the average American husband does not regulate his wife and discipline his children is not because this privilege has been snatched from him, 1 at becau;se he is too lazy to be bothered. Nothing to Brag About We women need not flatter ourselves unduly over our great industrial victory. We will have to step mighty high, wide and handsome if we ever get the best of the canny men. We have not done it yet by a great deal. \ The old-fashioned fellow who created such havoc in the home circle when he entered his front door, was saddled with a bunch of incompetent females. As soon as his women acquired sense and education enough to run things, he betook himself downtown and went into conference. In that self-same place he now tarries, secluded, peaceful, protected from worries, keeping his golf and baseball scores, happy in his new found slavery and laughing up his sleeve, no doubt, at all the sympathy his sad state solicits. Buffet Supper Scheduled Kappa Alpha Theta alumnae of Indianapolis will be entertained with a buffet supper Friday night at the home of Miss Virginia Kingsbury, 317 Downey avenue.

Family Menu

BY SISTER MARY NEA Service Writer Nowadays we think little of the seasonability of foods. Fruits and vegetables are shipped from northern and southern markets the whoie year through, making it possible to eat strawberries in January, no matter where we may be. However, some sea foods are like game and have a very definite “season ” Oysters are one of them and are “in” from September to May. Market and shipping reports promise an unusually fine stock of oysters for this year, and since research workers have added oysters ,to the list of foods comparatively rich in vitamin content it behooves the housekeeper to make frequent use of this popular shell fish. Although oysters have been high in price for the last few years, there is little waste and the amount of nourishment is large for the money invested. They are nutritious, easily digested, a good source of protein, and vitamins A, B, C and D are present in varying degrees. Preparation Is Important Since oysters are a protein food, their digestibility depends much on the care used in preparing them for the table. Intense heat and a too-long cooking period will make them tough, leathery and hard to digest. Raw 7 oysters may be served to invalids. Steamed, baked or in a plain stew, they offer appetizing variety to invalids and children. Made dishes of oysters are more difficult to digest because of the

Baked Oysters One pint oysters, small ovals of toast a little larger than the oysters, 4 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespons lemon juice, *4 teaspoon salt, paprika, Vs teaspoon nutmeg. Clean aqd drain oysters. Toast bread on one side only. Arrange in dripping pan toasted side up. Place one oyster on each piece of toast. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake in a, moderately hot oven until oysters are plump. Cream butter, slowly heat in salt, pepper, nutmeg and lemon juice. Spread over oysters, sprinkle with paprika and serve at once.

added ingredients. The oysters themselves are practically steamed or baked in the extra material. A hot oyster dish is suitable for luncheon or Sunday night supper. Oyster salad is unusual and makes a good Sunday night supper dish for guests. Make Good Salad Grape fruit sections, celery and green pepper are combined with a well seasoned French dressing for the salad. A few gratings of nutmeg and a drop of onion juice are included in the seasonings. The simplest way to cook oysters is to bake them. Either those in the shell or out of it can be used. When they are baked in the shell, the shells should be well scrubbed. Place in a dripping pan in a hot oven and bake until shells part. Force open, sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve on the shell. Open Formal Season First formal ball of the season, to be held at the Marott hotel for guests and their friends, will be given at 9 Thursday night, Nov. 14. Gordon Carper and his orchestra will play the program of dances. Observe Wedding Date Mr. and Mrs. Jocab Stahl, Kokomo, celebrated their fiftieth weddnig anniversary Sunday.
