Now that the move ment Is on. women who crochet or knit ■ re finding the per fect answer to their Christmas gift problems in these erstwhile "homely arts” which, this season, have come triumphantly into their own. The play of imagination brought to bear In Interpreting the knlt-and- crcchtt theme In modern costume design is winning the udmlratiun of the fashion world, One of the hap- plest outcomes of the present craze for things knitted is Intriguing hat and bag sets like the stunning two- some shown to the left in the lllus- traUon. It Is almost unbelievable tnat so much chic and charm can be achieved at so little expenditure of Ume and cost of material This set ’a easily made and the heavy cot ton bollfast rug yarn of which it is made is amazingly Inexpensive You can get this yarn in deep shades or in delectable pastels, Be assured that the fortunate recipient of this cunning calot and bag will thrill with joy at sight of it, the more so because It is "hand-made.” A gay little flatterer Is the head scarf pictured in the oval above. You'll admit it Is in perfect tune with the Christmas spirit This pretty crocheted fantasy was de signed and made by the radio songstress, Fran Allison. Not only is it entitled to a high fashion rat ing but added to Its prettiness and its chic is its kindly service in pro tecting smartly coiffed heads from pranksome breezes. The happiness it will bring to a friend when Santa delivers It Christmas morning will more than repay you for the "labor of love" in making it. Guaranteed to make "Merry Christmas" merrier for the some one among your friends who re- cclves it is the most attractive striped crochet weskit shown to the right in Uiis group. The ''original'* Is worked In shades of brown, beige and white with border trimming of solid crochet However, there are other color schemes that will strike an equally pleasing note such as, for instance, holly red, pine green und vivid yellow with highlights of white or flashes of starry-night blue It may be worn over blouses or as a vestee with jacket suits. Well, and look who's here below In the picture! It's a darling soft cuddly little poodle dog with a soft ball, all done in crochet and just wuiting to make the little tots tn your home chuckle with glee. Just for fun, crochet these toys of wool or mercerized crochet cotton for the little folks you wish to remember at holiday time. These are exactly the kind of toys that children treat ure long after baby days, and moth ers like them because they arc washable and have no sharp corners to injure "wee little darlings" while they play. For that list of friends whom you would gladden with just a simple little gift make up a series of little boutonnieres of hair ornaments of crocheted flowers. You can turn them out in a jiffy if you are a fast crocheter. Or, why not give a cro cheted jewelry set? To wear with sweaters you can find cunning neck laces of crocheted flowers strung together with chainstitch crochet. Some feature bracelets to match, or clips, or both. You can make these trinkets in "no time" if you arc a fast crocheter, and they make lovely gifts. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.1 Slim Dresses Animated B ith Graceful Peplums Orchids to our American design ers who have succeeded in animat ing slim silhouettes with ruffles, tiers, peplums and flares in so subtle a way that the slenderness of a lady of fashion is gracefully maintained. By the way, the slim silhouette is making steadfast progress. The newer styles are proclaiming slen der lines as the coming thing tn styling. Latest proofs are the new evening skirts so narrow they must be slit to the knee. Very smart, too are narrow daytime skirts that are scalloped around and dip at the back. That narrow contours are on the way is a sure thing. In fact, they have arrived. Suspenders for Skirts Have Flowers to Match Separate suspenders to attach to this skirt or that are being sold in college shops, sportswear and neck wear departments. They are of pinked felt and some have center bands of fabric embroidered in vivid contrast peasant themes. You can get boutonnieres of felt flowers to wear with them. These felt fanta sies are the answer when one wants to give an extra fillip to a founda tion wool dress—smart worn with velveteen skirts, tool Tassel Trimmings Long-waisted, snug-flttlng to the hips, this dress has a skirt that sim ply bursts into sudden allluence of fabric and detail. Eyelet embroi dered wool for the skirt gives style prestige to this long-sleeved, button- up-to-the-neck afternoon dress. The designer also styles this model in a long-skirt version for dinner wear. The coachman's brim velvet hat has plum colored ostrich trim. Early arrivals in midscason and fall fashions are singing a song of "tassels in the air.” Tassels are dangling shoulder length from pert turbans and felt calots and youth- inspired "beanies." Tassels a la militaire ornament epaulet sleeve trims. Pockets of otherwise clas sically tailored jacket suits look sprightly Intriguing with tassels or —maybe just a single tassel darting out unexpectedly but with effect Tassels of glittering beads glamor ize evening modes. Elmer is trying to put a ceiling on Mrs. Twitchell's hats, for in stance. <We heard that crack about them being funny enough as is.) He wants the ceiling established at two hats per season, a drop of about eight. And he thinks there should be a price ceiling too; somewhere around $3.50. Elmer Is for a fur coat ceiling too, but the crisis hasn't arisen this season, because Mrs. Twitchell got a new coat last winter. She got wholesale at above twice what would have cost elsewhere. • • • And he thinks there should be ceiling on all the wife’s expendi tures. "I told her last night that there must be a ceiling on bridge losses,” said Elmer today. “Every time she goes to one of them Tues day Ladies Bridge parties she loses money on a pre-defense emergency level. Maybe the best way to solve this would be to put a ceiling on her bids.” • • • He wants a ceiling on the wife's contributions to causes, also. "I am all for being charitable and fair," he explained, "and my heart is no mustard seed when it comes to re acting to the worthy appeals of to day. and there has gotta be some limit The old lady just subscribes to everything. Last week she put me down for $10 to the American Fund to Save Icelanders From American Army Slang. She ain’t got no judgment. I've imposed a ceiling. Everything she subscribe» above $4 a week is void." "Me and the wife ain't speaking just now,” confessed Mr. Twitchell "Yeah, it’s more ceiling trouble Pin money ceiling. I used to give her $10 a week, but this is a time of crisis. The future is uncertain. Nobody can tell what may happen next in this world war. So I told her the new ceiling on pin money would be $7.50." "What did she say?" we asked. "What didn't she say!” exclaimed Elmer. "Did you explain inflation to her?" "No.” •'Why not?” *'I don't even understand it my self." concluded Elmer. • • • R. Roelofs Jr. says he knows a man who is so rich he can afford to take the ladies for cocktails and din ner in the ladies' dining room at a man's club. • • • John Cudahy says that Hitlet looked to him like a man with a malignant disease. He's a victim of geographical indigestion, hardening of the head and retarded mustache • • • "What Mr. Lewis fears is that he would lose face." News item. We can think of no face which could stand it better. • • • THE MENACE The cops should paddle Henry Snipes. He drives a-straddle Highway stripes. —Merrill Chilcote. The Journal of the American Med leal Association reports that experi ments at Harvard prove that women suffer from cold and heat more than men because they do not dress as warmly. This makes the opinion unanimous and presumably official C. P. Yaglou and Anne Messer who conducted the experiments had a group of men sit in an air-condi tioned room in men's trousers and then change to women's lingerie Then they had women go through a similar test. Nothing can convince us that the whole thing wasn't ar ranged by a couple of Yale men. • • • Washington, in its new tax pro posals, may subscribe to the notion that it is impossible to get blood from a stone. But it thinks the idea is good. • • • THE SEASONS Winter is an old dame In n white lace cap; Spring is a maid with folded hands And flowers in her lap. Summer is a golden queen Wearing a jeweled crown; And autumn is a gypsy In a russet gown. —Joan Maher. • • e Simile by R. Roelofs Jr.t As patient as a man waiting while his wife buys a SECOND HAT.

Farmer Needed No Help In Convincing Himself Old Farmer Robinson broke his plow, so he decided to borrow one from Farmer Brown. On the way to the Brown farm he started thinking: "I wonder if old Brown will let me take his plow.” As he got near to the neighbor ing farm he thought: "I doubt if he will lend me that plow.” Then as he knocked at the farm house door: “No, I’m certain he won’t lend it to me.” Farmer Brown came to the door, smiled and asked, "Well, what can I do for you?” "I just came to say,” snorted Robinson, “that you can keep your bloomin’ plow!” 1.

Christmas givers who want to be sure their gift is well received have been turning more and more to cigarettes and smoking tobacco as gifts most appreciated by any smoker. Their welcome is always far greater than the modest cost involved. Naturally, Camels, as America’s favorite cigarette, and Prince Albert, the world’s largest- selling pipe tobacco, head the smoker’s gift list. Camels have two gift packages—the carton of ten packages of "20’s" specially wrapped, and a gay package con taining four "flat fifties." Prince Albert is featured in the pound tin and the pound glass humidor, both handsomely Christmas packed.—Adv. — Bigger value when you buy; Better results when you bake .. .
