What does this hat recall to your mind-why the trimmings on grandma's portieres, of course. Mesh and cotton balls comprise the unusual trimming used by Erik for this modified sombrero and bag ensemble-the fringe and ball trimming is of Copley red and is especially effective against black felt.
Striking contrast in both color and design is combined to make this a perfect tea dancing frock for the college girl or her older sister. Notice how the black panels are inserted and add inches to the height of CBS actress Helen Lewis. The applied flower and leaf design break it up just enough to give it interest.
In The Woman's World Final touch in good grooming-patting on talcum powder wit a Zandra mitten after a brisk shower. At left-gold embroidery is a very effective trimming on this full-length rose tweed evening coat. Note broad shoulders, narrow waist and floor-length full skirt.

Sharkskin plaid suit with long torso jacket and kick pleated skirt is CBS Gertrude Warner's first fall ensemble. Made of light brown and soft blue, it features large flap pockets set on the bias, high and wide notched lapels and five button closing. Her beaver hat is the off-the-face profile style that is so popular this fall.
Soft pink, blue and lavender birds-on the wing-are caught here and there under the brim of this Lacome-designed big black felt hat. Big hats are to be worn not only this fall, but throughout the winter season, according to leading milliners who are making them with deeper crowns and veil trimming.
College Girl Turns Baker; Her Orange Cake's a Real Honey
A luscious orange cake with orange frosted coconut icing is the recipe "special" this week. This cake was created by one of Coral Gables' young college girls, Miss Ethel Louise Dimmig. Miss Dimmig says she has good luck with this recipe, which she has tested out, and with two brothers around the house one large orange cake goes quicker than you can say "Jack Robinson." Time was when a housewife making a cake refrained from opening the oven to "see" how her cake was coming along. Long about the time she thought the cake should be finished, she carefully pulled a broomsplit out of the family broom and with beating heart thrust the stiff piece of cornhusk straight into the heart of the layer in the nearest pan. If it came out dry-the cake was finished. If dough still stuck, then another five minutes. Gone are those uncertain times. The modern vacuum cleaner has replaced the broom and the modern electric oven, with controlled heat, has replaced the uncertain heat of the old-time kitchen range. Miss Dimmig, who answers to all of these modern ways, submits the cake recipe without further ado. Fresh Orange Cake 3/4 cup shortening (preferable a vegetable shortening) 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 1/4 cups sugar Juice 1 orange, 2 tablespoons lemon juice and water enough to make one cup 3 eggs (separated) 3 cups cake flour 2 teaspoons baking powder. Mix shortening, salt and grated rind together and add sugar and cream thoroughly. Add an egg at a time and beat until fluffy. Sift flour and baking powder together three times. Then add to the mixture alternating with the orange, lemon juice and water (1 cup). Pour into two nine-inch cake pans which have been well greased and bake 375 degrees F. for 25 to 30 minutes. Make a plain boiled icing. When cakes are cooled spread with the icing and sprinkle with grated coconut which has been rubbed (between the hands) with the grated rind of one orange. Doesn't that sound good? And it is!
MRS. ANDERSON WILL PRESIDE AT PARLEY
Mrs. A. L. Anderson, past president of the Coral Gables Post No. 98, American Legion Auxiliary, will preside at the past presidents' parley of auxiliaries of Dade County at 11:30 A. M., Tuesday at the home of Mrs. Augusta Manning, 2008 West Flagler Street. A covered dish luncheon will be served following the meeting.
Articles That Match Take The Spotlight
One of the charming fashion trends for the new season is to wear pastel gloves that match the handbag. Robin's egg blue, crushed strawberry pink and citron yellow are some of the delicate hues that are being used until mid-summer ushers in the almost universal white accessories. Since most of the gloves are made of washable fabrics, and most of the handbags are washable, too, there will be little excuse for letting them become dingy. The gloves can be prettied quickly, if they haven't been allowed to get too soiled, by washing in mild suds with lukewarm water. The temperature of the water is important to avoid possible fading. As the fingertips are the parts which become most soiled, they require the most attention. Rub a sudsy brush over them gently if the soil it not all removed by ordinary washing methods. Then rinse very thoroughly in clear, lukewarm water. Absorb excess moisture by rolling the gloves in a towel, smooth them out carefully and dry them in a shady place. There are several methods of drying, all of them satisfactory. They may be slipped over a glove frame and hung to dry, or they may be pinned to a thin line with a rust-proof safety pin attached to the very edge of the cuff, or they may be dried flat on a towel. If they have not been smoothed before drying, they usually do not require any ironing or pressing afterward. The handbags usually require nothing but to be wiped with a clean cloth that has been slightly moistened in lukewarm suds. When the soil has been removed, wipe with cloth wrung out in clear water and then wipe completely dry with a clean towel. Try this menu for your morning breakfast: 900 scrambled eggs, 60 pounds of breakfast bacon, 30 pounds of coffee, 600 pints of sweet milk, 1,200 sweet rolls, 54 pounds of butter, 72 cans evaporated milk, and 54 pounds of sugar; just a slight idea of the food served at Reception Center, Camp Blanding, to 600 men.
What Say You To A Salad Idea?
Salads are fine for parties, mainly because they're easiest to figure out (portion-wise) beforehand. Molded ones take top prize, and individual molded shrimp salads will take the well-known cake. Just to make it easier, the shrimp come in cans all ready to use, in two recipes: Jellied Shrimp Salad Soften 1 envelope plain, unflavored gelatine in one-half cup cold wate for five minutes. Add one cup boiling water, one-quarter cup lemon juice, one quarter teaspoon salt and four teaspoons sugar; stir until gelatine is dissolved. When slightly thickened, fold in one cup canned shrimp (1 No. 1 can), one cup diced Florida grapefruit sections) (also from a can) and two tablespoons chopped pimiento. Turn into six individual molds. Chill until firm. Serve on salad greens with mayonnaise. Serves six. Last Summer Holiday Thank one Peter J. McGuire for your four days of summer. After Labor Day, whic hfell this week-end? It's you which Mr. McGuire (bet they called him "Mac"!) established way back in 1882. Thank cans of Florida citrus fruits and juices for making yours a less laborious time of it, on Labor Day and all days. You can open your career when you flick the top off a can of Florida grapefruit or orange sections of juice-for look at the laborious possibilities in each: Miraculous Mush Put the contents of a No. 2 can of Florida grapefruit sections and a 3-ounce bottle of maraschino cherries (chopped) and juice into tray of automatic refrigerator. Freeze to a mush; serve in sherbet glasses as beginning or ending to the meal. Head Startes Combine diced Florida canned grapefruit sections with diced avocado; chill. Serve on sprig of green in sherbet glasses or tomato shells with French dressing. Cooler Quickie Mix Florida canned grapefruit juice with gingerale, half and half; serve with ice. Vary it with blended canned orange and grapefruit juice. Enter in the Fair These are the days of country fairs, with blue ribbon bosses and first-prize preserves. Though you don't plan to exhibit, you'll surely say your preserves-so make 'em prize winners in your own home. Here's how (and won free hotcha!) would win you prizes: Sweet Fruit Pickles Combine one cup vinegar, 2 1/2 cups white karo, two inches of stick cinnamon and six whole cloves in saucepan and heat to boiling. Have ready 1 qt (4 cups cored and quartered apples (pared or not). Cook 2 to 3 cups of apples at a time in the syrup, handling gently so they will not mash. When transparent, lift out and place in glass jars and continue process until all apples are cooked. Remove spices from syrup; pour remaining syrup over apples. Seal jars tightly; store in a cool, dark place until used. Makes 4 to 6 pints. How 'Bout a Date, Honey? Honeyed words are those, to be sure, but you stand a good chance of hearing them when honey date bars are in the pan-try. Good, too, for those cooky jars about to be in fashion when tykes toddle back to school; try 'em, why not? Honey Date Bars 2 eggs 3/4 cup honey 1/2 cup all-bran 1/2 cup flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cups finely cut pasteurized dates 1/2 cup chopped nutmeats Beat eggs until light, add honey and all-bran; mix thoroughly. Sift flour with baking powder and salt; stir into first mixture with dates and nutmeats. Spread mixture in a layer one-half inch thick in greased oven (375 degrees F.) about 30 minutes. Cut into bars. Yield: 24 bars, 1x3 inches.

Good Design Held Essential
Good design should play a substantial part in the development of the low-cost home field, General Housing Administration officials declare. Since elements of deterioration are more likely to get a foothold in less expensive homes, increased care should be taken in construction of homes in the lower-priced classes. Principles of plan, efficiency, judicious use of materials and proper equipment, important in any class of dwelling, become paramount in the design of the modern small home. On these features to a large extent rests the marketability of the property. The Federal Housing Administration urges builders of small homes to realign the emphasis placed on this class of construction so that wherever possible the property will increase in value rather than become a subject for maintenance. Choice of materials and the determination of structural design of small homes should be made with a view to producing a house structurally sound, durable, and reasonably resistant to use and weather. The FHA also stresses the desirability of maintaining and developing local traditions and of producing low-cost housing suitable to local topography. No rigid pattern has been established for the low-cost dwelling, but the FHA seeks to check, wherever possible, the chief factors responsible for the deterioration of low-cost residential values. The designing, the planning and the building of a small home by the family with a limited, income is described by FHA a highly specialized art. The Federal Housing Administration maintains that failure to fit requirements for functional arrangement, sound construction and esthetic satisfaction in spite of the limitations of low cost.
Waterproof Bag Necessary Traveling Item
One of the wisest investments a girl can make before starting on a traveling vacation is a waterproof bag to hold cleanliness necessities and cosmetics. If the vacation is to be spent on a hiking trip or automobile tour, there will be many occasions when a handy gadget that holds soap, wash cloth, a small towel, nail brush, comb, cold cream, talcum, and makeup will save the day. There are many types of kits that can be bought at small cost. Some of them have stitched inner compartments to hold the individual items snugly. Some are tiny zippered, leather cases with a mirror set into the top cover. Others are flat envelopes made of sturdy cloth. The army type of toilet kit, which is made of khaki cloth and can be rolled up and tied with attached strings, may be old-fashioned, but it is very serviceable. Whatever type of kit you choose, keep it handy, where you can reach it with the least trouble. If it's an automobile trip, put the kit in the door pocket or in the compartment on the dashboard where you can get it easily. On a hiking trip put it in the top of the knapsack. You'll be glad you did so, and you will find such a kit a great comfort to have always at hand. MOVING DAY September is the month of moving in most states of the union. When the day arrives, have plenty of canned soups-and perhaps a boiled ham-ready for instantaneous meals. Then cook and you and the family will not be frustrated when meal time arrives.... SAVE CLOTHES Linoleum strips set in place along kitchen cabinets, and sink fronts will replace the cromium bands (now hard to get) and are really a boon to the housewife. Saves cleaning; saves clothes. GEORGIA PEACHES Peaches are in market now. Below are two suggestions for peaches: Summer Menu Hot Tomato Bouillon Crackers | Relishes Hard-Cooked Eggs and Canned Shrimp Salad Pastry Shells Filled With Sliced Peaches and Cream Iced Coffee Florida Fruit Cup 2 cups Florida canned citrus salad 1 cup sliced ripe peaches 1 unpeeled red apple, halved and sliced 6 tablespoons lemon juice 1/2 cup powdered sugar Combine fruits and lemon juice. Divide among six to eight sherbet glasses; place in refrigerator to chill. When ready to serve, sprinkle with powdered sugar. A scoop of orange or lemon ice may be added if desired. Serves six to eight.
Don't Forget Lad of the Family
The college girl will return to school this fall replete with helpful suggestions from beauty and fashion experts. But, how about her masculine counterpart? Young men, too, will be flocking back to college campuses or army training camps. The college lad is just as interested in his correct campus wardrobe-and in buying shave requisites and toiletries that give real shaving satisfaction. Today's realistic young men choose packages with a truly masculine appeal. The most particular capitulates before sturdy pottery jars and mugs which hold spicy shave soap, after-shave lotion, cologne and talc. Old spice men's toiletries have a zip and a tang as refreshing as autumn itself. Latest additions to the old spice family for men are the inexpensive tubes of shaving cream created especially for the male who travels. He may choose from brushless or lather types; a scientifically compounded formula assures a close, clean shave. Old spice lather cream has the penetrating, fast-lathering quality so appealing in Shulton's shave mug soap; the boy who uses brushless cream need not worry about greasiness. It applies smoothly and may be removed easily. For a luxurious going-away gift there's a wood-veneered chest containing enough shave requisites to last right through till Christmas-brushless or lather shaving cream, after-shave lotion and complexion-blended men's talc in the well-known pottery bottles. The young soldier training at camp, too, will appreciate a set of spicy toiletries; Shulton has several to choose from. The red-lined wood-veneered chests hold personal gadgets-and you may be sure his thoughts will turn to you in gratitude when he lathers his face for that daily shave! Don't look now, but lunch boxes need packing again. Dates are favorite sweets with young 'uns-good source of energy, too, and safe as a Defense Bond when you get the pasteurized kind. Duchesses, besides being royalty, are tiny, tiny biscuits split while hot and filled with anchovy paste or what have you. All-phosphate baking powder puffs 'em up royally.

REALIST vs. ESCAPIST IS MAIN HAIR-DO BOUND
"More and more we see fashion continuing in its picture of everyday life, and life today has two big interlocking circles -the realist and the escapist," according to Tobe, world-famous fashion and merchandising consultant to retail stores. The realist is the woman who has faced facts squarely and knows what living under a war economy means, who spend. her days in war relief work or important community service, who has enrolled for civilian defense, or who is a career woman with a job. The escapist, on the other hand, finds surcease from today's world in social rather than civic duties, still prefers to be decorative rather than useful, but who, nevertheless, serves her fellowmen by always looking beautiful and by being amusing and entertaining. "The new fall fashions," says Tobe, "following along these lines, must necessarily call for new hair-dos. The best and nite fashions designed for the realist who needs clothes that will be functional and a hair-do that's as smart as it is easy to care for. She insists that her clothes be simple and becoming and that her hair be lustrous, shining, healthy and well groomed. She knows that the best way to hold any job, volunteer or business, is to always look her best." "Realists' clothes are casual," says Tobe. Her basic wardrobe might consist of a casual suit dress that looks like a suit and serves many purposes, or a casual coat ensemble, besides one or two simple crepe afternoon dresses. Her hair-do will not be too different from her sister escapist's. Her lustrous pompadour in one version or another will remain, for even the new large flared brim hats with their soft swooping or shirred brims are being designed to show either one side or all of the pompadour. She will have the back quite short, either brushed in a lustrous sweep to the top, in a short casual curls, or perhaps pinned up in a practical but becoming knot if it's long enough. "We suspect that many of the noblest realists are privately escapists in their off moments," says Tobe. The escapist wants prettier daytime clothes instead of casual, and glamourous date dresses for those "don't dress" evenings. Competition among the younger woman and girls is growing gether every day, so it stands to reason that the few men who are available will be attracted by the feminine looking woman.
