She is a good wife because, although she is a queen, she is a good cook, and, upon occasion, such as when King George was seriously ill a short time ago, she can go into the kitchen and prepare his food herself. Evelyn Graham has written a" article, “Queen Mary Is a Good Cook,” in the December issue of the Cosmopolitan magazine, in which she has printed Queen Mary's recipe for sponge cake. Here it is: Three eggs (whiter beaten separately); weight of three eggs in powdered sugar, (% cupful); weight of two eggs in self raising four, (one cupful). Put yolk and beaten whites of eggs in basin, sift in sugar and beat up, then sift in the flour. Have ready a cake tin lined with paper. Put in mixture and place in hot oven. If gas is used, lower gas immediately cake is in oven, and do not look at cake for at least twenty minutes to half an hour. Gas should be very low. Test with skewer and if the latter is clean when taken out, the cake is done.

Patou Hails It As Most Important Winter Fabric BY JEAN PATOU Written for NEA Service PARIS, Nov. 7.—Among the fabrics set aside for winter wear, velvet unquestionably Is the most Important. Its value is appreciated by all dress creators, and you will find velvet the leading fabric in any important collection. It is perhaps not generally known that velvet is the fabric with which manufacturers and creators alike will experiment when something new is required. When anew velvet material Is put on the market, therefore, it represents the solving of tremendous technical difficulties in order to produce a material of the requisite weight, sufficiently supple and yet lending a different effect. The result is invariably satisfactory. I think it interesting to note that every kind of velvet —both the old and modern process of manufacture —is present in a representative collection nowadays. The infinite variety of actual fashions accounts for this, where differences In cut and style call for different textures. There are some coats of complicated cut and greater fullness that obviously had to be made of the most supple of velvets, and others, almost severe in style, that can not be executed in anything but the short pile velvet.

Tossing of Bouquet By Bride to Attendants Began in 1840

Like many other customs, the tradition that the bride shall throw her bouquet to the women of the bridal party is of comparatively recent origin, starting less than a century ago. At least this is the opinion of Irwin Bertermann, prominent Indianapolis florist and a member of the publicity committee in charge of arrangements for the national chrysanthemum show to be held at the Claypool hotel, Nov. 12, 13 and 14. The idea was originated by some one at the court of Queen Victoria of England, about 1840. A large number of bridesmaids took part in the ceremony, and, following the wedding, someone suggested the bride’s bouquet be used to indicate who would be “next.” The maiden who caught the bou-

quet, when the bride threw it away, would be the lucky one. Unlike most traditions, this one made good from the start, for the lady who caqght the bouquet was one who already was engaged and was to be married the next week. This was taken as a good omen and the custom spread rapidly, and now it is an established part of the wedding tradition In all Englishspeaking countries, and most of European nations.

Bridal Couple Entertained at Family Dinner Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Anderson, Highland Park, 111., will entertain with a family dinner at 7 tonight at the Indianapolis Athletic Club in honor of Miss Louise Goepper and their son, Edward Brigham Anderson, who will be married Saturday afternoon at the Unitarian church. The table will be centered with a long plateau of white roses and pompom chrysanthemums, and lighted with white tapers. All other appointments and decorations will be white. Covers will be laid for Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, Miss Goepper, Mr. Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Goepper, parents of the bride-elect;

Hat, Coat, Frock, Accessories All May Be Velvet Short pile velvets never will go out of fashion now and I feel some satisfaction at this, as I was the first couturier to ask manufacturers to take up the old velvet looms. The popularity of artificial velvet, on the other hand, has waned somewhat this season after a considerable measure of success. This was premeditated, as it was feared that women would tire of even the most beautiful fantasies that was offered in this fabric and it was deemed wiser to abandon them for a season rather than run the risk of boredom. I for one regret this and will be very glad to utilize these sumptuous fabrics as soon as the opportunity offers. With the advent of the formal velvet ensemble or afternoon suit came that of the accessory, ako of velvet, to complete the dress. A black velvet tailleur, for example, nearly always is completed by a muff of the same material, trimmed with the same fur that is worn with it. A formal velvet evening gown is often shown with a matching velvet bag, of essentially modem design, however. Until recently, velvet bags somehow contrived to look oldfashioned. Where millinery is concerned, velvet is undoubtedly the favored medium this season for dressy hats.
