What Makes It So? If cake
batter runs out of the pan when
baking, it may be due to too
small a pan, too slow an oven,
too much sugar or shortening, or
too much leavening.
If the cake has a moist sticky
crust, it is due to too much sugar
in the recipe. If the crust is thick
and heavy, the recipe may have
too much flour, too long baking,
too hot an oven, or not enough
sugar or shortening.
If a cake humps or cracks on
top it may be because it has too
much flour or was baked In too
hot an oven.
Coarse texture is due to too
much leavening, not enough
liquid, Insufficient creaming of
shortening and sugar or too slow
an oven.

POn
greatest achievement In
F superb styling, in versatile inter
pretation, in chic and in charm, the
fashion world should confer honors
of high degree on the producers of
knitted apparel. It ’s really amazing
the way the knitted arts (both hand
and loom) are entering into every
phase of fashion from sports togs to
formal evening clothes.
Never losing a “trick" in way of
following up every possible fashion
trend, creators of knitted apparel are
interpreting the mode in all such
newsy items as the knitted wes-
kita which are "last word” fashion
this fall, also the very new and
smart lumber-jacket styles, likewise
classic suits that are so superbly
styled one wonders that such things
can be actually achieved in knitted
wear. Here they are, however, right
before our very eyes, so breathtak
ing and so versatile that enthusiasm
for wool-knits and things hand-
knitted has mounted to a new high
this season.
The weskit theme is taking the
fashion world by storm. Shown to
the left in the picture is a weskit
done in a lacy knit fabric of wool
and rayon. This English weskit is
chic to the ’nth degree, and because
these weskits are so practical and
smart looking they are going over
big with college and career girls.
Gray is the chosen color for this
swank weskit, for gray is the fea
tured neutral for suits and sports
fashions this year.
Worn with
fuchsia-colored gabardine slacks as
is the model pictured, is one way
of doing it, but worn with a tailored
suit the effect is equally smart.
Centered in the illustration is a
new lumber-jacket costume, a type
of dress about which so much is be
ing said and done this season. This
two-piece is hand-loomed of 100 per
cent wool yarn, which gives it an ex
clusiveness
all
its
own.
The
lumberjack top is in the fashionable
gold color worked with a green
monogram, for to give a smart ac

cent designers are monogramming
most everything they can nowadays.
The straight slim skirt is in a hand
some dark brown. The knitted hat is
in matching gold.
The navy one-piece dress (also
very smart in black or a lush fall
color) as shown to the right is one
of those love-at-first-sight fashions
that will create an urge to become
the owner of one “just like it.’’ Here
is a glowing example of how fasci
nating the new wool-and-rayon lacy
knit fabrics are. A knit fabric dress
as here styled makes a wonderful
basic type for colorful accessories,
such as the hand-crocheted wool
snood and bag done in vivid Mexi
can colors, which milady in the pic
ture wears with it.
Small wonder is it that college and
career girls are going all out for
knitted things. Scarcely a phase of
fashion but what is being interpreted
in knitted or fabric-knit ways. A per
fect charmer in way of an around-
the-clock dress is the slender one-
piece done in black jersey with
sleeves in gaily colorful striped jer
sey.
Perhaps the most outstanding tri?
umph in this season's wool-knits is
the suits that are so superbly styled,
as are also the newest hand-knit
suits. If there is one knitted fashion
that will capture your fashion more
than another it is a suit of the
patrician type as shown in the pres
ent fall collections. As produced
these days a knitted suit refuses to
wrinkle or lose its shape though you
wear it day in and day out. Then
you’ll be wanting knitted coordinates
that team a pullover, cardigan and
a weskit that will carry you
through fall and winter in a blaze
of color. And believe it or not, you
won't be able’ to resist a plaid-knit
weskit. They’re stunning!

Elegance in every detail is the
keynote of fall and winter fashions.
You sense this in new luxury furs,
in revival of the handsome qual
ity-kind costume suit with its lavish-
ment of fur. The return of rich os
trich-trimmed hats is a sure sign of
a new elegance. This year of gra
cious fashion sees also the black
jacket frock enriched with jet em
bellishment on the jacket. Then too,
even the* simple little afternoon
wools and jersey gowns indulge in
dash of glitter or nailhead trim, or
an intriguing bit of embroidery. As
to the formal evening and dinner
blouse, it is a thing of beauty with
glitter accent and rich fabric and
lavishment of embroidery. Evening
wraps also give evidence of a trend
to a new elegance. The story of their
intriguing glitter trims and fur em
bellishments will unfold when the
social season gets into full swing
this winter.
