home—with dart-fitted waistline,
stitching for trim, and a very
youthful, sufficient tailored blouse.
Add the bolero to it, and make
a little suit! Several blouses and
one jumper and bolero go a long
way toward outfitting any girl for
school, and giving her the variety
she craves. Corduroy, velveteen
and flannel are smart for the
jumper and bolero; linen, flat
crepe or batiste for the blouse.

Delight your
unexpected guest
Halloween provides a good excuse
for an unusual party. The theme
you may select should be the basis
around which the party is built.
“Black Magic Party,” “The Haunt
ed House,” Buried Treasure Hunt,"
“The Witches’ Rendezvous," “The
Ghosts Gambol” are all suggestive
names for the party you may be
planning for All Hallows’ eve.
A Halloween party without deco
rations just isn't a party. They
may be so simple that it takes very
little time to put them up; pump
kins, cornstalks, and lighted jack-
o’-lanterns. Or you may decorate
with witches, owls, black and or
ange crepe paper streamers, black
and gray crepe paper moss dripping
from the ceilings, or ghosts standing
in spooky corners with eerie lights
thrown upon them.
The invitations should, of course,
be indicative of the type of party
you are giving.
“On Halloween the ghosts will
dance,
The g-iomes and goblins will sing
and prance;
So don your masks and costumes
gay,
To the Haunted House be on your
way.
The door will be open till the clock
tolls eight.
So take my advice and don’t be
late."
In keeping with Halloween we
must not forget the traditional
games and pranks, The chamber
of horrors, with
clanking chains,
damp hands
clutching the
guests, and dark
tunnels
should
put the guests in
to the spirit of the
party.
Bobbing
for apples, fortune telling and guess
ing games are all old favorites.
These suggestions may bring to your
mind others that may be old-time
Halloween games.
Last, but not least, a party is
never rightly ended without proper
refreshments. If it is a small group,
buffet supper may be served; and
if it is a large group, simple, but
delicious refreshments will finish the
evening with the necessary zip!

BETTER BAKING
Most of us are prone to be a lit
tle inactive and unambitious dur
ing the warm summer months.
Our appetites for heavy, hot foods
become dull and we readily ac
cept and enjoy cool, refreshing
salads and beverages. Just as
we put on heavier clothing when
the temperature drops, so do we
discard using salads as the main
dish and dessert of the menu.
Miss Howe’s book "Better Bak

tested in her own kitchen. It will

"better baking" but also for bet

In costume design a play on color
is being made that is startling in ef

this season. For example, it is chic

The new black frocks achieve their
dash of color with yokes, vestees or
front panel effects made up of green,
cerise and purple crepe. Dare as
much color as you please and you
will be none too colorful this season.
Nothing less than a sensation,
that's what the new and dramatic
fur-faced broad-brimmed hats are
creating. The model pictured tells
the "reason why” every woman of
fashion is sending in a rush order for
a fur-faced hat to match her coat.
The hat and coat ensemble shown
here is of beaver. It is made of
such smooth furs as Persian lamb,
black sealskin, leopard and other
spotted varieties, also ermine for
evening wear. These repeat again
and again in millinery to match the
fur coat or fur trim on the suit.
For those who can indulge in fur
luxury, an important new fashion is

that the white fur theme in acces

a pronounced vogue this winter.
