MOST POPULAR VELVET COAT; COED’S CHIC PAJAMA OUTFIT

THE popular coat of the moment, especially with the younger set, is the one of either black or colored transparent velvet, styled as simply as possible, adhering to straight lines, a girlish throw scarf finishing the neckline, or it may have a cape, or both. It may or may not belong to an ensemble. In regard to the model pictured, it was selected for illustration as it is the type which answers the description. and which, because of its prac-

Reality, is making widest appeal. One among many of the excellent points about this ensemble is that the coat which is styled a one-sided cape serves admirably as an autumn wrap with other frocks. Black transparent velvet fashions this youthful costume. The blouse is of white satin and the black velvet skirt is arranged with a soft shirring which gives it a graceful full hemline A white satin chrysanthemum posed on the coat carries out the black-and-white effect with true refinement. Suppose a velvet were to be selected for the coat and skirt in one of the beautiful new wine shades, then an orange or rust-colored blouse would admirably tune into the color scheme. The boutonniere, too, would reflect brownish tones —a cluster of the new toast colored or dusky-brown violets for instance. ■ v ■ Remembering that fashion also insists on matching jewelry, one would select, to complement a brown velvet ensemble, either amber beads which are the “last word” or the very new and chic brown-toned peaHs. or perhaps a choker and bracelet set with amber-toned cut crystal much used. Fashion has grown that fastidious about each detail of the costume matching from head to foot one is al most impelled to buy hat, shoes, gloves, handbag, jewelry, furs, and even one’s kerchief, which if they de not per fectly match, must at least be related to each other in color and motif. This matching theme has led to a vogue tor. colored kid s.hoes. Among those which capture the fancy at first glance areji the new dark wine-colored kid and strap slippers. Even the buckles on the pumps are like colored, k Another item which blends into the coloring of the costume Sb successfully

this season, is the silk kerchief scarf. Those whlfcb are patterned in browns and allied tones are perhaps most popular as they harmonize so satisfactorily with the new knitted ensembles. Speaking of the coed, when she pores over her studies until the midnight hour, or makes fudge in her cuafing she needs must be clad •n a*charming pajama ensemble, to he noth “comfy” and modern. Some young women prefer to lounge in pongee pajamas and coatee, because they launder so spl< and span. It adds to their attractiveness if they are banded with bright blue or green or with a novelty figured fabric. Rayon satin Is. however, contesting TwoFaced The double-faced scarf is new. One side is apt to be plain color and the other very modernistic and decorative. One is pearl gray on one side and ors the other gray, with all the plum and fuschla shades patterning It in calico design.

the superiority of pongee from a practical standpoint in that it also tubs beautifully, never losing its luster and always looking fresh and new. The point that rayon scores is that It looks “scrumptious.” every whit as handsome as silk, and yet being washable, it is thoroughly practical. The pajama ensemble which the pretty “bobbed” schoolgirl is wearing In the picture is a “perfect dear.’’ It is made of rose and blue rayon satin. The patterned part for the coat and

To render the coat which completes the pajama ensemble thoroughly practical as a lounging and daytime robe, it is often made quite long so that it serves somewhat in the capacity of a kimono. This is true of the youthful model shown to the right. This ensem hie combines pastel blue silk crepe with striped crepe which features sev ’eral dainty shades. Perhaps the most interesting innovation as regards fabrics used for lounging robes and coolie coats is the adoption of sheer dainty woolens for their making. Chief among these is old-fashioned challis, which has labtome very new-fashioned only just recently. Challis with its quaint pretty patternings is especially apropos for the schoolgirl negligee. Os course, a gay coolie coat belongs in every collegiate wardrobe. Hand painted satin types are especially pleasing, and some of them present

a gorgeous .spectacle of flowers and birds and figures. The newest is the modernistic patterning which paints cubes and triangles in high color, outlining these with gold bronze. Another item of comfort which especially fills the needs of'the young girl at boarding school or residing in college' dormitory Is a cunning little bed jacket Some of them are designed very simply of dainty colored French flannel. Others are quite elaborate. For a Christmas gift to the coed nothing could be lovelier than a pastel taffeta bed jacket with hand-quilted, border. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (©. 1928. Western Newspaper Union.) Smocked Dresses Nothing has ever taken the place for the young girl of twelve and over of the smocked dress. Some of the newest of these have a few flowers embroidered upon the crepe de chine surface, while others depend solely upon the smocking for their charms.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)

In connection with kitchen improvement work in Massachusetts, encouraged by the county home demonstration agents, Mrs. DeVoe of Worcester county, installed a combination sink and washtub.so that it was possible to take advantage of the good light from two high windows. An extension of the drainboard, which was also the cover of the washtub,made extra counter surface and also provided a convenient place for storing the washing machine beneath. Closets for cleaning supplies and cooking utensils were built to fit the spaces below the sink and tub, which

RAPID WORK IS JELLY ROLL NEED Any Preferred Recipe for Sponge Cake Is Used. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Rapid work is one of the secrets of making a successful jelly roll. Any preferred recipe for sponge cake mav be used. It should be baked in a thin sheet. The cake must be handled while warm, just out of the pan, or it will break when you try to roll it.

' ’LT ' \ ■ ■ v I : > •i < / ! r L .-toB Making Jelly Roll. Before taking the cake from the oven, spread a piece of waxed tyaper on the table. Sprinkle it with powdered sugar. Turn the cake out on this, upside down, and trim off the crusty edges on the sides. Spread quickly with jelly or preserves, and begin rolling at the side nearest you. When the cake is rolled up, roll the paper around it and tie it in place so the jelly roll will keep its shape. Fried Chicken Always Finds Km?or on Table Select young, wash, draw, disjoint, and cutSftio pieces suitable for serving. Wipe the pieces of chicken dry, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and rub well with flour. In a heavy skillet, heat a generous quantity of well-flavored fat to just below the smoking point. First put in the larger and thicker pieces of chicken so that each piece will be surrounded by the hot fat. Partly cover and watch closely to prevent scorching. Turn the chicken as soon as it becomes golden brown. Reduce the heat, and cook until tender, remove, and drain on brown paper to absorb the excess fat. To prepare chicken gravy, to each 2 tablespoonfuls of fat allow 2 tablespoonfuls of flour and cook for two or three minutes, t stirring constantly. Then add 1% cupfuls of rich milk. Cook until thickened, adding more salt and pepper if needed. Sprinkle finely chopped parsley over the gravy and serve hot with the chicken. Walking for Water Then there is the woman in Maryland discovered by the rural engineering specialists of the bureau of public roads, U. S. Department of Agriculture, who walked a distance of 440 miles a year— equal to the distance between Chicago and Omaha—carrying water from the pump to the house. There is yet work to be done in emancipating the American farm wife from her slavery to the water bucket HOUSEHOLD FACTS Soap sets many fruit stains. • • • Eat raw vegetables to get the benefit of the vitamines and soluble minerals. • • • The st:.te college of home economics recommends giving the little child his largest meal at noon. • • • To loosen tomato skins for easy peeling, held the tomato on a>long-

were placed at the best working height for Mrs. DeVoe. Under the counter at the right of the sink drawers were built for small kitchen implements and silver and for towels and other kitchen linen. The improvements in this kitchen were put in without the co-operation of Mrs. DeVoe’s husband. She earned the money for the improvements from the sale of fruit from the raspberry patch. One son helped with some of the carpenter work. The total expenditure for the kitchen was only $l5O, including several features not shown in the photograph.

LAMB SHOULDER EASY TO CARVE Bones Are Removed and Pocket Made for Stuffing. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Shoulder of iamb has long been considered a choice cut by discerning palates. The meat is exceptionally tender and delicate in flavor, but the shoulder blade running through the center makes- it impossible to carve into attractive slices. Skillful butchers and clever cooks have now found away around this difficulty, says the bureau of home economics of the United States Department of Agriculture. The shoulder blade and leg bone can easily be removed, leaving an excellent pocket for savory stuffing. The stuffed shoulder may then be rolled up or left flat like a pillow. In either case it is sewed together around the edges and roasted in an open pan. The tasty stuffing helps to conserve the juices of the meat and to add seasoning. Carving difficulties are thus overcome. The boned stuffed shoulder can be carved straight through into shapely slices of just the. right blend of meat and stuffing. Lamb leg and saddle may also be boned, stuffed, and roasted in this same t way to make carving easier. For slicing cold these stuffed cuts are delicious, especially if the stuffing has been seasoned with fresh mint or watercress. The United States Department of Agriculture will send recipes on request. Raisin Cakes Excellent Cold Weather Dessert Hot desserts may be introduced occasionally as the weather grows colder. These raisin cakes, for which the bureau of home economics gives a recipe, are good with whipped cream, hard sauce or one of the liquid hot sauces, flavored with vanilla or lemon. I Raisin Cakes. ’4 cup butter % cup raisins V 2 cup sugar 2 tsp. baking 1 egg powder % cup milk % tsp. salt 1% cups soft wheat % tsp. vanilla flour Cream the butter and sugar and add the well-beaten egg. Roll the raisins in two tablespoonfuls of the flour. Sift the other dry ingredients and add alternately with the milk to the first mixture. Stir in the raisins and vanilla. Bake in greased muffin tins for 15 to 20 'minutes at a temperature of about 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Serve while still warm. Economy in Silk Hose by Sewing Up Long Run No small accident causes one’s heart to sink faster than a run in new silk stockings. Sewing a long run on the sewing machine often makes it possible for the stocking to be worn again. Large stores are now able to repair many types of “runs” perfectly but if the run happens to develop into a side tear it cannot be mended perfectly. A safe precaution is to buy two pairs exactly the same shade. This is real economy for there will be two out of four which will be wearable after the other two have been cast aside. Ham Loaf Mix together one pound of raw ground ham, one pound of raw ground veal, two eggs, one cupful of cracker crumbs, one and one-half cupfuls of milk and a pinch of pepper. Pack into a mold and steam for three hours. The ham ds usually salty enough so that no additional salt is needed. The loaf may be served hot or sliced cold. # handled fork over a hot blaze for a few seconds or dip It in boiling water. • • • • Before stitching heavy material* like khaki, duck, or canvas, rub hard soap over the hems and seams. The needle will then more easily penetrate the material. • • • A cheap tin tray may be converted into a useful and decorative article for your dining room if it is enameled In a color which will harmonize with your ehlna.

Electrical Contractor Gives Advice to Others “I think Milks Emulsion should be advertised all over the world, so as to help all of the sick. “In 1912 I had a great deal of trouble with my stomach and bowels. For several years I tried everything that I saw advertised, but I kept getting worse all the time. I got so bad that I was in bed for three months In 1916. While in Philadelphia in 1917 I happened to see one of your ads. I hacfr tried everything that I thought was any good, but concluded to give Milks Emulsion a trial. It could not do any worse than the rest. “To my surprise it regulated my bowels and I found I did not suffer any more after eating and had no pain at all. I continued the use of Milks Emulsion for six months, until I was in fine health and have been for the past eight years. When I think of the way I suffered night and day for six years, I feel that every person with stomach and bowel trouble should know about Milks Emulsion.” Yours truly, S. B. PEDDICORD. JR..

Proud of Ownership of Historic Bugle The most famous bugle in the United States army is said to be found at Fort Myer, Va., just cross the Potomac from Washington, the property of Staff Sergeant Frank Witchey. the veteran bugler of the Third cavalry. Witchey blew taps on the horn at the grave of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington cemetery, and at the funerals of Woodrow Wilson. William Jennings Bryan, Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood. Lieut. Gens. Nelson A. Miles and S. B. M. Young and other prominent Americans. The bugle was issued originally to Witchey by the army as a part of his equipment, but the day after he blew the taps at the grave of the Unknown Soldier he bought the horn back from the quartermaster for $2.50. He had the bugle gold-plated and now he engraves on it all the important events at which it is blown, with the dates. The Verdict John Sloan, the noted painter, was dining with a Fifth avenue millionaire, and after dinner his host led him to his art gallery. “Sloan,” he said, as he halted before an enormous canvas, “tell me, is this a genuine Titian?” Mr. Sloan larghed heartlessly.

Elephant or Tractor, Question in Africa In the Congo river basin of Africa, where the soil" is perhaps as rich as anywhere else in the world, there is a merry, rivalry between American tractors and elephants as motive power on the farms. The big beast driven by a mahout for a salary of 24 cents a day can turn the sod of one and a quarter acres. Outside of a little salt the elephant can find his own feed. It is not bothered by the tsetse fly, so fatal to other domestic animals. A tractor is figured to be 14 times more costly to run. But its initial cost is about S4OO to the elephant’s $2,400. and it can turn the sod of 25 or more acres in a day. So each has its advantages. After nearly 50 years of experiment there are available in the region only 24 elephants sufficiently trained for use on the farms. Much in Little Miss Plump—What is ’multum in parvo?’ Johnny—“ You in’your bathing suit, sis.” People who have to be in crowds usually don’t like ’em.
