"I." he said, "excuse my knife—
Am champion of the broader life;
I," he said, "excuse my gun—
Am just a little ray of sun."
"You." I said, and raised my hand,
"I find quite hard to understand;
How can you be my guiding light
While slugging me with left and

Making candy 1» really outside the
realm of general cooking, but with •
little guidnnce, even un umatcur can
work real magic with »ugar and wa­
ler. Simply by changing tempera­
ture and the method of handling, a
wide variety of fondants. fudge»,
and hard candle» cun be made
Utennlla for Making Candy,
Ham-epana should have broad bot­
toms. and should be large enough to
allow for "boiling
up.” The inalde
surface should be
smooth, because
rough spots may
cause candies to
stick and burn.
Measuring cup«
— use standard
measuring cups
for successful re­
sults; accurate measurements are
essential.
Spoon* and spatula* — wooden
spoons are desirable for candy mak­
ing because* they do not become un­
comfortably hot, nor docs the wooden
»¡ xkni handle cut into one's hand
during beating. Use standard table­
spoons and teaspoons for measuring.
A medium-sized spatula Is a help in
scraping candy from kettles, and
lifting candy from the pan
Baking «heels, platters and pans—
ordinary cookie sheets provide a
good surface for pouring hard can­
dies; large platters may be used for
taffy, which is to be taken out and
pulled. or for fondant which is to be
beaten A marble slab from an old-
fashioned marble-topped table or bu­
reau makes an excellent smooth,
level surface for pouring candies.
Candy thermometer—a thermom­
eter is essential In order to obtain
uniform and good results in making
candy.
Candles are classified as "creamy
candles," such as fondant or fudge,
and as "taffies” and "hard” candles,
like nut brittle and lollipops.
In making creamy candies two
rules must be observed: cook the
candy to a definite temperature, and
• cool to room temperature before you
begin to beat

LO, THE POOR INDIAN!
On the Tonawanda Seneca reser­
vation in New York, the United
States government made its 140th
annual presentation of six yards of
calico to each Indian in the Iroquois
Confederation Saturday, keeping a
treaty of 1794. A speaker glowingly
reminded the Indians (and the as­
sembled newsreel men and camera
men) that the United States was
keeping a faith which was "unique
in a world of broken promises and
enslaved people."
Well, we get the idea, and It Is
okay with us. but the Red Man was
certainly entitled to a loud guffaw
and nine giggles.
It was old Peter Doctor, oldest of
the Senecas, who got his point over.
"The Indians were civilized with a
veneer of savagery,” he said, taking
his calico and wondering what to do
with the darned stuff. "Over there
white men have turned to savagery
with a veneer of civilization.”

Y
ries nothing less than glamorous,
but no matter how smartly appar­
eled, unless you are correctly cor­
seted in the proper foundation gar­
ment to make your figure conform,
so far as is possible, to the slim
svelte lines that current fashion de­
mands, you will fail to qualify “up
to the mark" in genera! appearance.
Ladies, look to your corsetry!
Soon it will be time to take up the
matter of new clothes for spring.
Start the program right with a care­
fully selected foundation garment
wardrobe and see what a difference
it makes when you come to be fit­
ted in the new frocks and suits.
The long - stemmed American
beauty glorified by United States de­
signers in their first season of inde­
pendence from Paris influence calls
for intelligent corseting to underline
tha new styles with high, well-con­
toured bustline, straighter and
slightly longer wr.istline and sleek
hip and thighs, American corsetry
has made amazing progress in
achieving "ontrol without sacrificing
comfort in the foundation garment
What special type of foundation
you should wear depends upon your
Individual needs. Study your figure
in a mirror to get a clear picture
of faults to be corrected. Then go
“in conference” with your favorite
corsetiere. In analyzing your fig­
ure defects and virtues, remember
that the side and back views are
even more important than the front,
because they show your posture and
distribution of weight.
It is especially important this sea­
son that your bustline be properly
contoured. The tendency in current
costume design is to accent top in­
terest in moulded and draped and
swathed treatments. The new clas­
sic daytime wools with their suave
simply tailored blouse tops make
expert corsetry imperative. This is
especially true of brassieres which
must be meticulously selected. Re­
member that unless you wear some
type of pantie girdle and brassiere
under your slack suits, swimsuits,
tennis, golf or riding clothes, your
Loop Felt
Fetching little hats made of bright
loop felt are effective with tweed or
dark fur coats. Some of these jaunty
sprightly headpieces are so fash­
ioned they look like a single large
flower caught firmly to a fitted cap
made of ribbon velvet. They are
tied at the back in a big bow, the
flowerlike cluster of felt loops poses
piquantly over the forehead. The
hat of felt loops pictured is a pill­
box type in moss green with beige.
The long-sleeve muff is in green
velvet with a ruche bordering at
each end made of felt loops match­
ing the hat
New Trim for Shoes
Even your shoes have a dressed-
up air this season, with trimmings
of fur bows and beading. Tailored
bows are used to trim pumps made
of crocodile, and frilled bows and
beading add a smart look to suede
shoes for afternoon.
figure cannot look attractive.
It is also important that you have
two identical foundations for every­
day wear to keep your figure mould­
ed properly and comfortably. Two
foundations worn alternately and
kept fresh and in good repair may
be expected to hold their original
lines and do their job of figure con­
trol appreciably longer than two
purchased successively.
One foundation for formal wear
is a wardrobe necessity because the
figure needs extra help to look its
best under formal gowns, which are
more fitted in line than daytime
styles.
New foundations for evening bf-
fer several outstanding features.
Brassieres are cut to give more
accent to the bustline than for day­
light hours, and have many clever
tricks to suit the straps to the vari­
ous decollete lines. Corsets and all-
in-ones are cut longer in the skirt
to prevent thigh bulge and afford
a suave, gently curving line from
waist to knees without any hint of
stiffness in effect.
Shown in the illustration are two
examples of the sleekly moulded
evening silhouettes favored this sea­
son. Note the dress to the left with
perky wee bows tying in a one-
side fastening. It requires perfected
corsetry to achieve the youthful
fashion-right lines here delineated.
Jacket costumes as '“•»•tered in the
group are outstan—..® in the eve­
ning mode and exact expert founda­
tion garment fitting. A goodlooking
daytime black wool dress with which
to wear a single costume jewelry
piece (in this instance a stunning
bowknot pin at the waistline) has
become a staple in every wardrobe.
Shown here to the right is an over-
the-bust draped effect which requires
very special corsetry because of its
top interest

Probably the most important style
item this winter is the companionate
hat, known also as "he and she,”
"Mr. and Mrs.,” and "twin” hats.
These hats are merely hats that look
alike—one for men, one for women.
Actually the twin hats are a bless­
ing, both to men who have put up
with some pretty wacky looking
women's hats in the past, and to the
ladies who are always looking for
something new. The distaff twin hat
is. of course, out and out larceny.
It is styled to duplicate the sportier
men's styles. Manhattan has seen
them tn telescopes or pork-pies, der­
bies, felt caps and in the so-called
double brim safari felts. As a style
item they are excellent
American designers of women’s
hats have a knack for feminizing
these twin adaptations to the point
where they are, if anything, more
feminine than distinctly feminine
hats.
